This chat is one thing we could not fully automate, I don't think.

has anyone asked for your autograph before? was it weird?
Eno Sarris
12:00
Nobody has. that would be super weird.

Who's coming out of the NL and why?
Eno Sarris
12:01
Nationals. Shorter series favors their dual-ace, superstar-driven strategy as long as Harper is healthy.

So next time you see Neshek are you going to ask him for his autograph... and hand him a Zack Greinke card?
Eno Sarris
12:02
ooof. One thing that might be interesting to the conversation: if I asked a player for an autograph, I would lose my BBWAA membership. The field, the clubhouse, those are supposed to be places where you don't get bugged for an autograph.

Is Kyle Gibson actually decent or is this just a lucky hot stretch?
Eno Sarris
12:05
Interesting. He's become more of a four-seam slider guy and his velo is up. That coincindes with a big jump in K% and drop in HR rate while his GB rate has held steady. I actually have a really deep league where I held him through all of the BS and... I think he's probably a below-average fantasy starter, but maybe usable in some leagues now.

How for real is Luke Weaver? Top 24 in fantasy next year crazy?
Eno Sarris
12:06
top 30 doesn't seem crazy at all. He's like a Lance Lynn with the fastball but he has good secondaries.

How far apart in value are Trea Turner and Conforto in a keep-forever league?
Eno Sarris
12:07
With the injury, it's like three rounds at least. It was a bad one.

What do you think the cardinals should do this offseason?
Eno Sarris
12:07
Try to get a star hitter. They are great at filling in holes.

Alex Wood to the pen in the Postseason? Who would you say should start games 1,2, and 3? Tandem start or just make game 4 a bullpen game?
Eno Sarris
12:08
Kershaw, Yu, Hill. Then I think Wood to pen but Game four is Maeda/Wood. Ryu early lefty in pen.

With all the complaints about blisters, do you believe MLB will take a serious look (albeit quietly) at the baseball this offse
Eno Sarris
12:11
I think the blister thing could be real, but it's also related to grip substances, so they could just enforce that. DL trips are up across the board, and related to 10-day DL usage, which they may look at. Baseball is complicated and every time they make a decision to change the rules, there are a ton of unintended consequences.

Sale-Kluber is going to be an incredible ALDS Game 1, isn't it?
Eno Sarris
12:11
1-0... or like 7-5 of course.

Does Tommy Pham look like a perennial high BABIP guy going forward beyond 2017?  .373 right now...
Eno Sarris
12:12
Hits the ball hard on the ground with speed, I think he could run a .330-.345 easily. Unsure how this package will age wrt power though, and he's already turning 30.

Hey Eno, you starting Paxton today? Thanks!

Yes

But what you might, you might not know, Dave Cameron, is that Heady Topper represents a market inefficiency of sorts, in that supply never really catches up to demand. Your thoughts on that, Dave Cameron?
Eno Sarris
12:13
not bad.

For 2018, is this what we should expect from Aaron Altherr?
Eno Sarris
12:15
I'm a little unsure about him. I have an interview to write up, probably for tomorrow. I think he can hit .260 with a .200 ISO, meaning he's probably good for 20 homers and five stolen bases. I have a feeling people expect more.

Between Rendon and Votto, who finishes higher in NL MVP voting?  How high do they finish?  We all know neither has a shot at winning.
Eno Sarris
12:17
I've got a vote for RoY, which should be easier. Rendon might do better than Votto because he's on a great team. If Rockies fall out of race, do they still give it to a Rox player?

What's next for Albert Pujols and the Angels?  Can he get healthier and better, or is he just a negative win player now?  If so, should the Angels be looking for a graceful way to release him, given the plethora of cheap DH options available?
Eno Sarris
12:18
He's hobbled. Sometimes when he runs I wince. I suppose he could get back to something like last year's work, and only three full time DHs are 10% better than the league with the bat. They'll keep him another year.

Been getting into Sours and Gose's lately (Westbrook Gose, Victory Sour Monkey, Kirsch Gose). Any good recommendations? Thanks!
Eno Sarris
12:19
Stillwater has that Gose Gone Wild and its variants which are real fun. I don't know east coast sours as well, but try Grimm's stuff, Allagash has some good stuff too.
