As much as I can do. So, maybe finding applicability to the Pirates. Also, there's just spending my hours appropriately. I don't have the sources around the league that Ken Rosenthal, Jeff Passan, Evan Drellich or those folks do. They spend time covering league matters and barter info within that group. My time is spent reporting on the Pirates -- talking to their players and coaches, researching those stories, etc. This business is built on relationships, and I have some relationships with that stuff but not as much as the national folks. This is the same for every beat writer in the country. So often it's more productive for me to write on the Pirates, tackle feature work not on my beat or bounce around places to help the P-G's overall coverage.

But, yeah, if there's something I can add, or maybe analyze or present a different way, then obviously I'll look to do that. But it's not like I'm texting Manfred or Tony Clark trying to get scoops.

OK, folks. Looks like that does it for this week. Thank you, again, for participating. Don't know when the next one of these will be. Might be a couple weeks. But it's been a fun season. I really, truly enjoy these. Talk to you again real soon!
