Another hard throwing pitcher goes down. At this point we just need to appreciate and enjoy Syndergaard while he lasts.

Paul Swydan

9:15

For sure.

9:16

Given the Mets' track record, it might not be too long before he goes down. (ducks)

Minty

9:16

Nola with his elbow or Jon Gray with Coors for fantasy?

Paul Swydan

9:16

Gray!

Caldwell

9:16

Your All Valentine's team needs more of the Babe!

Paul Swydan

9:16

Oh. Duh.

Bork en Espanol

9:16

LF/1B -- Babe Herman

Paul Swydan

9:16

The less heralded Babe!

Woodrow the Impaler

9:16

What about Corey Hart?

Paul Swydan

9:16

That's a good one.

Bork en Espanol

9:17

C -- Gabby Hartnett

Paul Swydan

9:17

Yes!

Stevil

Is there a worse fake holiday than Valentine's day anywhere else in the world?

Paul Swydan

9:17

I mean, maybe, I'm no expert on other culture's holidays, but in this culture, Valentine's Day is easily the worst.

Andrew

9:17

Pete Rose should definitely be in this lineup.

Paul Swydan

9:18

D'oh!

He'll bet on your love.

Jason

9:18

What figure is higher: The IQ score of the smartest fangraphs employee or Bryce Harper's 2017 wRC+?

Paul Swydan

9:18

I'm sure Carson or Cameron's IQ is close to 200, so I'll say that.

Caldwell

9:18

Brent Honeywell?

Paul Swydan

9:18

Hmmmm.

9:19

No, he hasn't debuted yet.

If I was including minor leaguers, I'd have to include Petey Paramore.

who worries you more? strasburg, degrom, harvey for this year?

Paul Swydan

9:20

deGrom is the only one who worries me, because I've already written off Strasburg and Harvey.

If Strasburg and Harvey are ever good again, that'd be marvelous, but I'm no longer considering them elite pitchers.

9:21

No way Thor, deGrom, Harvey, Matz, Wheeler, Lugo, and Gsellman all make it out of Spring healthy, right? Maybe 5 of them? Hey that's all you need!

Paul Swydan

9:22

One step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time.

Seanto

9:22

how real is willy adames?

Paul Swydan

9:22

I mean, he's a living, breathing human being, I'm pretty sure of that.

9:23

How good he is as a player? I'm excited. 20-year-old shortstops who put up 135 wRC+'s in Double-A are about as real as it gets.

Kevin

9:23

Can we talk about DJ lemahieu. He was a buy for me last year but I think the Ian Desmond acquisition kills his value. Agree?

Paul Swydan

9:24

Disagree. I don't think Desmond affects his value at all.

Rickey O'Sunnyvale

9:24

Candy Maldonado.

Paul Swydan

9:24

Great call.

Gerg

9:24

Bobby Valentine would definitely manage the team, and play by play by Howie Rose

Paul Swydan

9:24

Bobby V can be player/manager. Rose can be bench coach, ha.
