Dan Szymborski: And away we go!
2:12
Dan Szymborski: Sorry, was in a work conversation!
2:13
Nick: Is Beede still the Giants’ number 1 pitching prospect or has Suarez overtaken him?
2:14
Dan Szymborski: In my eyes he has, but some are going to quibble with that no doubt.  I’m not sure it’s *obvious*
2:14
ECinDC: Is it possible that Stras could be worth his extension? But really, he’ll opt out unless he’s hurt right?
2:14
Dan Szymborski: He could very well be.

12:02
Eno Sarris: I’m a fan!
12:02
Eno Sarris: I’d call him a top 30/40 type
12:03
Tony: Eno,  it’s halfway through the season.  Time to admit the Cubs have some serious issues?  They still have the talent and the crappy division but there are holes that were not expected back in April.
12:03
Eno Sarris: I think they’ve always been looking for pitching

Dave Cameron: Happy Wednesday, everyone.
12:02
Dave Cameron: You know the underrated part of being on crutches? It’s really hard to take stuff with you when you move. Hey, neat, I got this fruit out of the refrigerator… now how do I get it to the table?
12:03
Dave Cameron: Anyway, let’s talk baseball for the next hour or so.
12:03
Dave Cameron: Or the joy of having your knee cut open, if you’re into that kind of thing.
12:03
Jeries: What is the most common reason for relievers being unable to start: lack of a third pitch or lack of stamina?
12:04
Dave Cameron: Can’t get opposite handed hitters out.

12:05
Eric A Longenhagen: Alright, let’s do it.
12:05
Sour beer: Who are some of the biggest non-top-100 prospect movers this year so far?
12:07
Eric A Longenhagen: Bo Bichette, Jesus Sanchez, Jack Flaherty, some of Philly’s arms probably move into the 100. I could sit here and come up with another dozen or so that moved up because of graduations ahead of them.

Jeff Sullivan: Hello friends
9:05
Jeff Sullivan: Welcome to Friday baseball chat
9:06
Jack: Freddie Freeman at 3B can’t work, right?
9:06
Jeff Sullivan: Sure it can. Maybe not super well, but the Braves’ 3B alternatives right now suck. Adams is better than all of them, so, might as well give this a try
9:07
Jeff Sullivan: Not going to be permanent. I imagine, longest-case scenario, Freeman plays third through the end of this year, and then Adams or someone goes away in the winter. But I like this more than I don’t
9:07
Bob: Expectations for rodon when he returns? What’s his career ceiling? Thx!

Eno Sarris: Wish I was in Chicago for my birthday Saturday, I’d go to this show https://oct.co/events/underground-nashville-rock-and-roll-great-beer and see this Nashville rock band  
12:01
ChiSox: What’s the market for Melky/Frazier looking like?
12:03
Eno Sarris: Melky very mellow market. Body looks bad, bat looks meh. Could get a team’s 15th-best high-a probably reliever? Red Sox thirtieth in third base rankings, and the Yankees are 19th. There’s a chance there.
12:03
Blake: Thoughts about Conforto? Top-50 fantasy bat ROS?
12:03
Eno Sarris: I’m in love.

Wrister: DJ Lemahieu and Gio for Rendon? What side you got

Dave Cameron: Happy Wednesday, everyone.
12:01
Dave Cameron: Or pre-ACL reconstruction day for me. This is my last day with mobility for a while.
12:02
Dave Cameron: So let’s talk about players whose knees aren’t about to get cut open.
12:02
Blah: Dave, The baseballs are juiced/changed right? I don’t think there is even a debate anymore.
12:02
Dave Cameron: There’s definitely still a debate. There’s circumstantial evidence that suggests the ball is different now, but it isn’t a fair reading of the evidence to suggest we’ve removed all doubt.
12:03
Dave Cameron: I think the ball probably is different. It makes the most sense. But we don’t *know*.
