.549 slugging a little aggressive, but no, don't forget this dude. He's had a bad year, but he's young and made incremental improvements in every other year.

Liked the Warthen piece a lot. Curious why a couple teams (A's and O's) go from near-last to near-first when grounders are brought in.
Eno Sarris
1:10
Could just be a question of usage. Maybe they use their sliders in counts that lead to grounders. Then again, Oakland plus sliders... who's got one? They love their curveballs.

what bat not playing SS could handle it the best? Bregman? J Ramirez? Albies?
Eno Sarris
1:10
Albies or Bregman for me. Something about Ramirez' body type makes me think second baseman.
1:12
people talking about knees when I'm over here

Is this year a win for the Angels? Even though the WC2 spot was totally up for grabs to be in a race with a week left is unexpected. And their farm system is showing signs of life.
Eno Sarris
1:13
It was surprising for sure. They got some outfield bats coming, huh? Would like for their pitching to be healthy at the same time next year.

Duda, Walker, Cabrera, Reyes

Do the Nationals make Werth a bench bat in the playoffs?  His defense is sub-par and old man strength only takes you so far
Eno Sarris
1:16
Have to wonder if the Robles callup was partially about him, but Robles has started once in the last week. Lind has an outfield start. I guess Kendrick could take his ABs, maybe take him out early for DeAza?
Keith Hernandez

Will teams start shying away from rebuilding around young pitching?  Two recent examples I can think of off the top of my head are the 2010-13 Braves and the 2014-15 Mets.  Both had success but everyone got injured and it imploded.  Will the focus go more to the Yanks/Cubs mold of stocking young hitters and plugging in pitching as you go along?
Eno Sarris
1:16
I think pitching injuries just make it hard to open a window and count on players to be at least decent in a certain timeframe.

What are prime age season lines for Devers?
Eno Sarris
1:18
Dude is 21 and projected for .276/.325/.448 from Steamer. Not at all a stretch to think he could .300/.375/.500 at some point, imo. Cut some Ks (track record for that) hit for more power (track record) walk (same).

Are you suddenly as giddy as I re a downtown Oakland ballpark?
Eno Sarris
1:18
Five years tho.

By wRC+, I think Votto/Gennett/Cozart/Suarez actually better than Perez/Morgan/Concepcion/Rose.
Eno Sarris
1:18
Gotta consider D tho in this question.

Bellinger will be at center and end up Trout like. You heard it here first.
Eno Sarris

He does not embarrass himself out there. Joc opening up a chance, too.

My ideal sandwich is a lobster tail, poached quail egg, drizzled caviar aioli, and topped with creme fraiche on a brioche bun.

Can Kiermaier come hither with 30+ steals next year?
Eno Sarris
1:20
he's so fast and smart, I don't know why he doesn't steal more. Asked him once, and he basically just said it wasn't a priority. Doesn't want to run into outs.
Tommy Tutone

Eno talk to me about Urena.  What do you see next year?
Eno Sarris
1:21
I don't see much to love other than velo. It's a good place to start but his secondaries are pretty meh.
Oddball Herrera
1:21
Buying Verdugo as a fantasy stud?  I keep looking at his stats and seeing 'empty batting average' written all over him, but everyone seems crazy about the guy
Eno Sarris
1:22
I could see him having a good OBP but yeah I don't think he'll be a fantasy great.

willie upshaw, damaso garcia, tony fernandez, rance mulliniks/garth iorg

Is David Price an above average starter next year, or just a really expensive LOOGY?
Eno Sarris
1:22
He's a good pitcher, man.

Small 8 team Dynasty Waiver Wire. Rank in future years: Clevinger, Godley and Garrett Richards
Eno Sarris

turn it on it's head.

The Rockies have not clinched yet, right?
Eno Sarris
1:23
No they have not but a 2.5 game lead is tough right now for the Brewers to make up.

What do you predict for Tim Beckham next year?  Can he build on this year's success?  Will he get traded?
Eno Sarris
1:24
Little bit like didi but hits more ground balls. .275 with 20-24 homers, 10 stolen bases? really nice defense. I think he'll be the starter in Baltimore.
