Eno Sarris: Let’s get in trouble together.
1:53
Eno Sarris:

12:02
J.D.: I know you’ve looked at guys with statistical indications of “closer stuff” before. Anyone stand out from the leaderboards who’s not closing yet?
12:04
Eno Sarris: Neris of course. Nothing else is obvious though if there were no cost concerns, I’d say Arodys would take over for JIm Johnson pretty soon. Rosenthal for Oh might happen by velo and ks…
12:04
annoying cubs fan: the Cubs keep grounding into double plays. I know it’s April, but they weren’t really a big double play team last year. Should I be worried?
12:04
Eno Sarris: Not the kind of thing that’s really sticky and they don’t seem like a ground-ball team.

Jimmy Carter: Is Carter Capps a top 10 NL closer by the end of this season?
2:04
Dan Szymborski: OH yeah, hello.
2:05
Dan Szymborski: Could be, but I don’t want to commit yet given that he’s still doing rehab.
2:05
Dan Szymborski: And whether they call his shot put windup under new guidelines, I’m not sure of
2:05
Noah: Thoughts on Eric Thames so far? I know your system had him projected for a fairly significant season
2:05
Dan Szymborski: If he destroys the NL, Steamer gets the win over ZiPS – STeamer was more optimistic.

Dave Cameron FanGraphs Chat – 4/12/17

12:01
Dave Cameron: Happy Wednesday everyone.
12:01
Dave Cameron: Most teams have played seven games at this point, so let’s speculate wildly about what those seven games mean, and overreact emotionally to every outcome.
12:01
Dave Cameron: As is April tradition.
12:02
The Decadent Moose: As a Cardinals’ fan, what is my first priority: 1] Getting a refund from MLB.TV, 2] starting scurrilous rumors about players in the bullpen, or 3] simply buying http://www.FireMikeMatheny.com/ ?
12:02
Dave Cameron: No better place to start than this.
12:02
Dave Cameron: The Cardinals first week was pretty lousy, but it’s hard to imagine Cecil/Oh/Siegrist are going to combine for a 98.50 ERA or whatever they have right now.

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…
12:02
Eno Sarris: P Weird.

RotoLando: Who do you believe in more, Eric Thames or Jesus Aguilar?

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).
