12:01
C3P0hhhh: What do you think of jSullivan’s comparison of Bird to a young Lucas Duda? Would you tend to agree, or do you think his past injury history might be suppressing his ceiling a bit?

12:01
Eno Sarris: It’s not a bad comp, but you also have to think of Lucas Duda as he was in 2015 not 2016.

12:01
Jewel: Which injured pitcher would you rather have, Alex Reyes or Matt Harvey? Real life baseball, contracts don’t matter.

12:03
Bork: If Devon Travis can stay healthy.

2:02
Dr Morris: What do the D-backs know about Mitch Haniger that the rest of the world (and the world’s projection systems) don’t? On paper he’s at least an average-plus RF and he’s murdering the ball in ST.
