: Hi everyone, give me like 2 min (I’m wrapping up a call about Cubs prospects)
|
| 12:02 |
: (sorry)
|
| 12:04 |
: Okay, thanks.
|
| 12:04 |
: The Cardinals list is up on the site (but you probably already knew that)
|
| 12:04 |
: Let’s begin
|
| 12:04 |
: Any chance Senzel moves to MI in the MLB? My fantasy team needs a SS…..
|
| 12:04 |
: Greetings and salutations
|
| 12:04 |
: And happy Ohtani season
|
| 12:04 |
: What kind of moves to you expect Anthopoulos to make in his first offseason with the Braves?
|
| 12:05 |
: AA has a reputation as an aggressive trader but I wonder if he will be a little more conservative early on as he does some inventory and gets acquainted with the Braves …. So maybe some smaller-type transactions
|
| 12:05 |
: Where do you put the odds that Otani signs with an NL team? It seems like the teams, Otani’s agent and probably he himself will recognize that it’s better if he just DHs.
|
| 12:06 |
: I’d be surprised if he lands in the NL … unless he really wants to play in the field on days he’s not pitching. But i think he’s going to land with an AL club
|
| 9:06 |
: Hello friends
|
| 9:06 |
: Welcome to Friday baseball chat
|
| 9:06 |
: Does Cozart continue hitting enough to be a realistic 3B option for someone?
|
| 9:06 |
: I imagine he’s going to stay at shortstop, and I imagine he’s going to stay with the Reds
|
| 9:06 |
: I don’t think that’s anything like a guarantee, but it’s my current best guess
|
| 9:07 |
: We’re a long way out from the MLB All-Star Game, but should there be a substitution rule where one [1] player can be reentered into the game? It’s an exhibition and we all want to see the best players in the tightest spot anyways, right?
|
| 1:09 |
: you, me, this chat here, it’s a
|
| 12:00 |
: Hate to be that guy who suggests the JBJ trade, but is him (to be replaced by JD), Groome, and Chavis enough to make the Rays consider trading archer
|
| 12:01 |
: Is that a great fit? I mean in terms of assets, maybe it’s enough, but it depends on what rankings either team has on the prospects. In terms of fits, though, they have a center fielder and a third baseman…
|
| 12:01 |
: Eno, I was just visiting the west coast with the intention of a move soon; however, how do west coasters handle the 9am Fangraphs chats? These chats are a godsend midday here for those on the east coast.
|
| 12:02 |
: Gotta show early, do some email responses that cc the whole office and let you know you’re there, close the door, and talk into the phone intermittently like you’re on a conference call. solved.
|
| 12:02 |
: With the change in use of mediocre starters (i.e. likely fewer innings and chances at wins and K’s) is it time to focus more on power long relievers for fantasy?
|
| 12:02 |
: The normal “Happy Wednesday” greeting seems inappropriate today, given the loss of Roy Halladay yesterday.
|
| 12:03 |
: So I’ll just welcome you to our chance at a memorial for one of the best pitchers I’ve ever seen.
|
| 12:03 |
: We’ll do some normal off-season/awards talk too, but if you want to share your favorite Halladay memory, I’d love to read them.
|
| 12:05 |
: So what pitchers of today remind you the most of Halladay?
|
| 12:06 |
: There isn’t anyone who embodies everything Halladay had. Kluber is maybe closest, so that’s obviously more dominance by strikeouts. Maybe Jose Quintana, though he’s not nearly as good as Halladay was.
|
| 12:07 |
: I never rooted for any of Roy Halladay’s teams during his career, but I’ll never forget watching his NLDS no-hitter in 2010 on a 20″ TV because I had no other option that day, but I didn’t care. Seeing Roy pitch, in that game and otherwise, was special and you knew it when you saw it and would put up with just about anything to see him throw.

:
Do you think the Hall of Fame should waive the fifth year of Roy Halladay’s waiting period and put him on the ballot this year instead of next year?
Yes (35.8% | 95 votes)
No (33.2% | 88 votes)
I’d like to say yes, but with the ballot so crowded I’m afraid he might crowd out someone deserving. (22.6% | 60 votes)
I can’t decide (8.3% | 22 votes)
Total Votes: 265
|
| 9:01 |
: Hi everybody.
|
| 9:02 |
: I wonder what we’re going to be talking about…sigh…
|
| 9:02 |
: RIP Roy Halladay.You will be remembered.
|
| 9:02 |
: RIP Roy Halladay
|
| 9:02 |
: Just dug my Doctober shirt out from under my bed and put it in the wash so that I can wear it out this weekend. If you see me at the UT game or around Austin please say hello. RIP
|
| 12:02 |
: Okay, we’re on. Pretty sure I’m headed to Mesa for this afternoon’s AFL game (not 100% on who the starters will be, the AFL has just decided to stop posting probables, apparently) so as is typical during AFL time, we’re keeping tight to an hour. Let’s boogie.
|
| 12:02 |
: How close are Kyle Tucker and Garrett Whitley to the majors? Both seem to be getting fast tracked
|
| 12:03 |
: Tucker might get there next year in the event of injury but Houston has a glut of upper-level outfielders even after dealing Teoscar. Whitley was in Low-A last year so I disagree that he’s being fast tracked. he was a raw HS bat from the Northeast, not a guy who’s typically going to move quickly.
|
| 12:03 |
: Adbert Alzolay (sp?) – what his long term potential?
|
| 12:04 |
: Chance to be a mid-rotation starter. 93-96, was 95-97 in Fall Stars game. Has two viable secondaries. I’m a fan.
|
| 12:05 |
: Anything thoughts on Yankees’ Chris Gittens and Nick Nelson? Both seem like high upside lottery tickets, anything we can get excited about?
|
| 12:02 |
: Don’t be sad the 2017 season is over, friends …
|
| 12:02 |
: Be glad it happened
|
| 12:03 |
: Now, on to 2018 …
|
| 12:03 |
: So what’s your off-season sports drug of choice?
|
| 12:03 |
: It’s such a dark period in my life
|
| 12:03 |
: My favorite non-MLB event is the NCAA men’s basketball tournament if you consider spring training to be offseason
|
| 9:07 |
: Hello friends
|
| 9:07 |
: Welcome to Friday baseball chat
|
| 9:07 |
: Our first Friday baseball chat of the offseason
|
| 9:08 |
: I am fully prepared to take your offseason questions while being unprepared to answer them
|
| 9:08 |
: Did the Red Sox hire Tony La Russa as some kind of cruel joke?
|
| 9:08 |
: The current Red Sox front office sure looks different from the Red Sox front office of just a few years ago
|
| 3:19 |
: Dedicated to Yu? No, dedicated to Rob Manfred and his juiced balls? Wait. You dedicate this.
|
| 12:03 |
: I’m here I’m here I’m here
|
| 12:04 |
: I got 4 hit (batsmen) and a RBI. Which is more surprising?
|
| 12:04 |
: The RBI. AL pitcher!
|
| 12:04 |
: Should bellinger get blames just as much for the dodger losing last night as yu darvish?
|
| 12:05 |
: It wasn’t a good postseason for Bellinger, and he had some flaws exposed. I saw some say he’ll fall off quickly and isn’t that good. I believe he has some contact improvement in him and this was part of that first rookie adjustment myself.
