Eno Sarris: Two things are funny to me about this video. 1) When I grew up in Jamaica, I heard reggae covers of everything, I learned the words to Billy Jean that way. 2) The early season is sort of strange and new, but also something totally normal and comfortable. Like a cover.

12:01
Ben WMD: Who’s more worthless – Delino DeShields or Travis Jankowski?
12:01
Eno Sarris: DDs bats from the right side, so it’s him.
12:02
Hannah Hochevar: Read all your advice, listened to all your pods, and somehow the only thing I took away was that I needed to get Lonnie Chisenhall on my team…

Eno Sarris: P Weird.

Dave Cameron FanGraphs Chat – 4/5/17

12:06
Dave Cameron: Happy first Wednesday of the season, everyone.
12:07
Dave Cameron: Sorry for the late start. Cistulli is to blame, of course.
12:07
Dave Cameron: I’ll go a few minutes extra to make up for his distraction.
12:07
Stevie: How much do you think Bundy adding his cutter will help him this season?
12:08
Dave Cameron: I think command is probably the bigger issue. Having a cutter won’t change things dramatically unless he’s back to putting the ball where he wants it.
12:09
Victor: It’s august 2017, and the Red Sox are playing good baseball and leading the Al East. Their starting first basemen is (insert name here).

Eric A Longenhagen: One last thing before I start, there A LOT of questions in the chat asking when Prospect X is going to be in the big leagues. Blanket answer: I don’t know. Too many variables impact that sort of thing that have zero to do with the player’s performance.

Eno Sarris: was going to play some mac dre, but this is close enough, and has better visuals

12:00
Borkins: Ello, mate!
12:00
Borkins: Cody Reed to the bullpen because…..????
12:01
Eno Sarris: They have too many starters! I dunno. I figure Feldman or Arroyo will flame out or Rookie Davis won’t have enough secondary stuff and he’ll be back.
12:02
Ragingtwig: I think this decision is ridiculously easy, but am waffling nonetheless: can keep Yoan Moncada ($3) or David Dahl ($8) in keep 6, $2 inflation, both for the next three years. OBP and SLG league. It’s Dahl right?
12:02
Eno Sarris: You get at least a half year more PT, and then Dahl also offers much more floor. I’d do him. Pause.
