Jayson Werth

12:47

Where am I playing on Opening Day?

Eno Sarris

12:47

Maybe nowhere. Or, like, DH for the A's.

12:47

Do the Lego movies need a reboot?

Eno Sarris

12:48

People think I'm crazy but I didn't love the Batman one. It was so loaded with references and meta humor that I just got tired of it.

DTH

12:48

That rumored Heyward for Shark+Melancon bad contract swap never made real sense because of the multiple no-trade clauses, but if those weren't involved, would you do that deal? my instinct is the Cubs would have to add a prospect or two to sweeten the deal

Eno Sarris

12:49

I know the Giants disavowed this, and maybe it's not this deal, but this is exactly the kind of deal that we may see. Especially if it nets them some prospects, and gets them a major leaguer at a position of need like this.

12:49

Kinda hungry

Eno Sarris

12:50

shhhhhhh

Yanksfan

12:50

Guys over at RIver Avenue Blues suggest the yanks trade Clint Frazier, chance Adams, Solak and Domingo acevedo to marlins for yelich. What do you think of that trade? I like Yelich and the trade seems like both sides gain similar value but do the Yanks really need to upgrade OF? We have hicks and Gardner and Clint Frazier. I would prefer a trade to upgrade areas of weakness (SP, 3b, 2b). Thoughts?

Eno Sarris

12:50

Would a smaller deal for Dee make sense?

Dr. Funk

12:50

Which SP prospect should the Cards trade? Weaver, Flaherty, Hicks, ALcantata, Hudson, Helsley, Fernandez? Damn we have a lot of RHP depth....

Eno Sarris

12:51

I'd like to keep Reyes and Weaver myself.

LegallyEagle

12:51

JBJ for Grandal?

Eno Sarris

12:52

Taylor plays second? Not impossible. Dodgers played Barnes in the world series after all.

ATCQ

12:52

Dave Cameron is convinced LAD will trade Joc Pederson. Do you agree, why or why not?

Eno Sarris

12:52

I'd like to buy low, personally, but when they started playing Taylor over Joc in center, that was a sign.

Tony

12:53

Rangers have an odd mix of old (Beltre/Choo/Hamels) and young (Gallo/Mazara/Odor), with Andrus and Martin Perez in the middle... I don't see a quick path to catching Houston that doesn't involve both Otani and Darvish. What do you see them doing?

Eno Sarris

12:53

Surprisingly high payroll and a lot of warts in the young players. I could see them retooling.

Erik

12:54

Can the Phillies make the jump that the Diamondback/Rockies/Brewers made this year? Is there anyone better positioned for that?

Eno Sarris

12:55

I like their core, and yes they close. Rays and Braves have a bunch of nice young players graduating to bigs in the next couple of years.

Marcus Banks

12:55

You into boxing at all? The top 2 heavyweights opened up negotiations today. Will be a killer fight if it happens.

Eno Sarris

12:56

I don't *want* to be into boxing, but I am. I'll probably see the fight if it happens, and furtively fire off some ill-thought-out tweets while I bob and weave in my living room.

Clambake

12:56

Don't you love the keyboard GMs who suggest that Miami should trade Stanton for their teams #6-10 prospects?

Eno Sarris

12:56

There's a lot of disagreement on what Stanton actually is, but I don't think his injuries have all been the kind that make him injury prone, and I don't think he's actually that one-note.

BTinVT

12:56

Do you see teams moving outfielders around during game based upon arm stregnth/accruracy to cut down a runner in a crucial situation?

Eno Sarris

12:57

I wrote about that once when Sam Fuld brought it to my attention with regards to moving better defenders from left to right depending on handedness of the batter. We could see more of this.

Jesse

12:58

Do you think Gohara will be one of the more exciting young pitchers to watch in 2018? Seems like he has Ace potential, I can't believe we landed him for Mallex Smith.

Eno Sarris

12:59

Any improvement in the changeup -- a la Severino -- and you could see a huge breakout there, yes.

Kevin

1:00

Does it make any sense for the Braves to invest in 3, possibly 4 year deals for relievers at this point? Beat writers seem dead set that they will mainly target improving the pen this offseason.

Eno Sarris

1:00

Everyone wants to improve the pen tho.

loldodgers

1:00

What is it about Chris Devenski’s changeup that makes it so effective? Is it just the way he holds it or a spin rate thing?

Eno Sarris

1:00

I think it's the way he falls off the mound, creates a feeling he's throwing inside to a lefty, and then the release also creates a ton of fade.

Bork

1:01

When you've got JD wanting $25m a year or more, Stanton's contract is definitely fair

Eno Sarris

1:01

Right? Just a tad long.

1:01

I'm perplexed by the Indians decision to move Francisco mejia to 3b. His bat loses a lot of value as a 3b, so why not try to trade him for a 3b (or any other position) of similarly valued prospect (about top 20)

Eno Sarris

1:02

I suppose they like his bat... if they can play Kipnis in the outfield, they can improve by having Mejia at third, and then they get all the years. Can Kipnis play in the outfield? CF? seems a stretch!

Tim

1:02

Are you on the "Maikel is toast" boat as well?

Eno Sarris

1:02

nope

Cool Spot

CHESTER GOT NOTHIN ON ME.

Tommy Lasordid

1:03

Have to waive two of B. Zimmer, J. Urias and D. Salazar from my 25-keeper dynasty team of 30). What say you?
