So, Voxhoo, who do you see stepping into the setup role after Duke is gone? Do you see Calero taking over exclusively or still a "two man" setup system? What about an emergency closer? Are there prospects in the system to fill these roles?
I understand the back concern, but Duke has been pretty durable thus far hasn't he?
