Hi everybody!

Paul Swydan

I'm disappointed so many of you want to see the horrifying live action Beauty and the Beast,

FYI there's a decent chance I lose power during the chat.

9:02

Over 50% of my town is without power. So far my neighborhood has skirted the danger.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:02

That movie looks horrible

Paul Swydan

9:02

9:03

Agreed Jeff! I'd probably pick Life.

Keith

What would you with the Sox batting order? I think it would be some combo of Pedroia, Benintendi, Bogaerts, Betts, Ramirez, Bradley in the 1-6 spots and mix and match the next three.

Paul Swydan

9:03

I swear this was the first question.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:04

Be happy that you could go with about anything and still win 90 games

Paul Swydan

9:04

I'd go Pedroia, Betts, Bogaerts, Ramirez, Benintendi, JBJ, Sandoval, Moreland, Catcher

9:05

You only have to alternate handedness when the hitters suck.

When you have 6 of the best hitters in baseball, just put the best ones at the top of the lineup.

According to the Fangraphs prospect rankings the Eaton trade was worth $56M FV and the Sale trade was worth $129M FV. Safe to say Quintana is worth ~$100M FV? That means, for example, NYY giving up Frazier, Mateo, Rutherford ($96M FV) is not a crazy ask.

Paul Swydan

9:06

I don't know that it's safe to say that Quintana is worth ~$100M in future value. I'd say it's safe to assume btw 50-100.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:06

No and I think that is one reason a trade hasn't happened yet.

NL 5X5 for this year $12 Grandal or $3 CHernandez. Also how long does Ottavino hold closer's gig in Colorado? Thanks in advance.

Paul Swydan

9:07

I have more faith in Grandal, but if you think CHer is going to repeat his 2016 performance, that's certainly a good price.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:07

Grandal, Ottavino will have the role if healthy

Paul Swydan

9:07

Ottavino, I expect to hold the job as long as he's healthy.

AGREEMENTS!

Paul Swydan

I assume this was a pie flavor?

joe pera

9:07

what are your thoughts on rhett wiseman out of the nationals organization?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:08

Don't know about him

Paul Swydan

9:08

He was a 22-year-old hitter in A ball last year and he didn't crush it, so I'd say he has a long road to the majors, but never say never.

Northsider

9:08

Shepard's Pie!!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:08

My system rates him as a non-prospect

Paul Swydan

9:09

Shepherd's Pie doesn't count IMO.

Heading for the Hills

Their Finest

Paul Swydan

9:09

I'm guessing this is a movie. I haven't heard of it, sorry.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:09

As normal, I was lost

Hector

9:10

What's easier? Convincing you that Trea is for real or not for real? Why does it feel right to think he could be an immense superstar?

Paul Swydan

9:10

It'd be easier to convince me he's real because I already believe it. I am very bullish on his future.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:11

Not real is easier because it is more likely. I think he'll be good, but too much helium

mario mendoza

Your last Roto post was in 2011.... do you take fantasy questions? Anyway, I'm desperate, can't decide... should I trade OF Harper, 1B Goldy, 3B Rendon for 3B Bryant, 1B Votto, OF Polanco in NL wOBA keeper?
