Dunno, the FA list so bad tho

Don't forget about CJ Edwards
Eno Sarris
12:40
never forget

If Gallo doesn't put it together this year, are you out?
Eno Sarris
12:40
Been out for years.

Minty didn't even say thank you for helping him win. He just demands more from you.
Eno Sarris
12:41
That's the business, and not in the good way.

Odds Dozier to LA actually happens?
Eno Sarris
12:41
Minnesota could use some pitching, but a little afeared of who plays second after he leaves. Polanco pretty shaky.

What are you expecting from Conforto in 2017?
Eno Sarris
12:42
.275/.350/.475 in 500 PA? I like him. Might be high man.
forever it

Do you think Domingo Santana puts it together this year?
Eno Sarris
12:43
Statcast loves him, and health could really do it. A little worried that the outfield is getting crowded there, and don't know how many chances he'll have going forward, but I'm in for this year.

How should I feel about the Cubs jacking up ticket prices 19%? Should teams strive to make at least a portion of their tickets affordable to the average fan? Or is it a rich fan's sport for the in-person experience?
Eno Sarris
12:44
It sucks but it's still cheaper than the other two big three sports. At least the TV experience is improving.

We're glad you're so honest on Sleeper and the bust

FWIW I come for the real baseball and ludes
Eno Sarris

Well you saved *that* one.

In spite of being sick, what was your best/least favorite aspect of the Winter Meetings being in the DC area?
Eno Sarris
12:47
Hmm.. Best: Rose's Luxury was amazing. I want a Cinnamon Toast Crunch shaker for my house or I don't because I'd just get fat. Second-best: National Harbor wasn't as cheesy as many of the 'convention' areas like the one in Orlando or Dallas. Least: Not warm, not San Diego.

When drinking a beer, how much do you care about specific style traits like ABV? I brewed a Berliner that will probably be 6.5%, if it's still tart and dry and effervescent, does the gravity matter to you? I'm think Yuzu from New Belgium as an example of someone completely ignoring gravity.
Eno Sarris
12:48
There's ABV on the bottle and then there's how it reads. Plenty of double-digit stouts aren't that hot because they are complex and have a lot going on. If I taste a beer as hot -- too much alcohol -- I generally don't like it, and I will order my beers from least to most ABV generally, but I won't buy a beer based on ABV by itself.

Kendall Graveman + Ryan Dull for David Dahl makes a lot of sense to me. A #2 starter and a closer with a ton of service time, with profiles perfectly fit for Coors for an impact CF.
Eno Sarris
12:48
Not enough.

Liked the Ramos article. Are you a believer in the story that LASIK really did turn Ramos into a better hitter? Do you see his offensive projection going forward as better, worse, or the same as the roughly league-average bat predicted by Steamer?
Eno Sarris
12:50
I think it can really help. I mean, in conjunction with his zone discernment changes, that's really impressive. I'm going with the over on a 100 wrC+.
CamdenWarehouse
12:50
Which trade for an MLB player has the most chance to backfire?
Eno Sarris
12:51
Okay, I'll admit this as much as I like the Eaton deal: if Gio turns back into an ace, then the deal isn't great. I'd just put the chance that one of Reynaldo or Gio is even a 1/2/3 at something like 20%.
Bob
12:51
Does Billy Hamilton plus reliever trade for Conforto make any sense ? I like it as Reds fan but not sure from Mets point of view
Eno Sarris
12:51
I like Lagares and Conforto too much to do this.
Lightning Round!
12:52
Braves sign Turner, sign Weiters, start Albines at 2b... wildcard team?
Eno Sarris
12:52
They at around 77 now I think. That would make them 83+. Would take luck to get to wild card.
Dan

Is Derek Holland worth a flyer for the Cubs?
Eno Sarris
12:52
I'm not a fan. Maybe in the pen.

Washington DC is the only place in this beautiful country where we name a strain of cannabis for the deceased former mayor and his surviving family is like "This is a very fitting tribute thank you."

Hi Eno, do you think Clint Frazier gets his chance in NYY this year? What do you think his ceiling /floor is. Also, what do you think about Justin upton going into '17.
Eno Sarris
12:54
Upton can be a bit better than last year. Frazier has so much swing and miss, I've seen him swing through three straight sliders. I'm not sure he makes it, but he should get a chance this year.

Brandon Webb succeeded averaging 88 on his fastball?
Eno Sarris
12:54
That was better relative to the league average back then, so it's like a guy being 89 today, at least, and also he had the wickedest sink on that pitch.
