Nicholas Minnix: Hello, everybody! I’ll be with you at the top of the hour, as always. I have been going to about an hour and a half for these, but today I won’t go much beyond the requisite hour, visiting family, hope you understand. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say and ask!

Nicholas Minnix: And, my sincere apologies: I changed the start time of my event initially … but not the time zone! So now we’re all set.

Comment From Zach
Among the teams who are in the hunt for a RP which would not have Soria as a closer?

Nicholas Minnix: What’s up, everybody? I’ll be with you at the top of the hour, looking forward to answering some questions.

Nicholas Minnix: Rock n roll

Comment From Sizzle
Not sure if you can answer during the chat, but here’s an interesting question: What’s the longest hitting streak during which the guy’s AVG was under .300?

Nicholas Minnix: You’re correct, haha, that’s something for Google or a greater power.

Comment From Matthew
I traded Votto for Lawrie. Talk me off the ledge that it wasn’t a bad deal. Not keeping either of them and have Rizzo/VMart.

Nicholas Minnix: Not bad at all. Could turn out to be a good deal, you’re in good shape at 1B already it seems.

Nicholas Minnix: Hey folks! I’m filling in for Eno, today, and I won’t be chatting tomorrow, FYI. I’ll be with you at the top of the hour!

Comment From J
Eno: I think our banter is getting better.

Comment From J
Nick: I agree.

Nicholas Minnix: I’m asking for a little of your patience, as well. I’m surely not as quick (or as knowledgeable for that matter) as Eno! But I’ll do my best.

Nicholas Minnix: Rock. And. Roll.

Comment From AL Pitching Coach
Top 3 current AL closers that could be moved at the deadline?

Nicholas Minnix: Hello, everybody! I’ll be with you at the top of the hour, as usual!

Comment From Schiraldi
Do you prefer Braun or Harper ROS, once Bryce is back? And by a lot or a little?

Nicholas Minnix: Mmmm … It’s very close, either way. I’d gamble and say Harper, because he may be quite motivated to make up for lost time. But that’s a double-edged sword. Have to like Braun going forward, solid production if not elite like you’re used to.

Comment From I Believe we will win !!
dropped Pedro Alvarez for Arenado since I’m seeingh Pedro in a Platoon… Did I do the right thing?? I have Seager.

Nicholas Minnix: If you’re in a shallow mixed league, can’t see a big problem with it, except that there may not be a need to do it right away if it is that shallow.

Comment From Kyle
I am glad Nicholas Minnix has joined the team, finally someone with a cooler name than Eno Sarris
