12:05
Travis Sawchik: That’s a good question … And i am not privy to all plans. But with the Effectively Wild podcast added, Ad Free membership created, and the redesign it’s been a pretty eventful 2017 thus far

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.

12:03

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.

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.
12:04
Wrister: DJ Lemahieu and Gio for Rendon? What side you got
