Want to share one more Don Kelly quote from today when he was asked about building a franchise around Paul Skenes:
"No doubt. Paul Skenes, they don't come around ever. I think there's a few pitchers like that. When I was younger, I got to play with (Justin) Verlander and (Max) Scherzer, and that's what you see in Paul, that type of guy. If he can continue that, continue to develop, continue to grow. He's a pitcher, not a thrower. Just the way he works, everything. He's definitely a guy you want to build around."
