Eno Sarris: wish I could have been in Charlotte for the Run the Jewels show drinking Stay Gold NEIPA…

Bork: Will this be the year Dalton Pompey sticks in the MLB? Please?

Eno Sarris: There’s a whole wide left field waiting for him

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?

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

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

Dan Szymborski: It’s party time!

Dan Szymborski: And heads up – yes, platoon splits and DMB stuff will be posted. My work baseball preview stuff comes before that.

Dan Szymborski: And no, I won’t give you an exact date and time, guy who asked variations on this question about 15 times last week.

Druidiful: Dan, are you going to actually have your regularly scheduled Wednesday chat on a Wednesday?

Dan Szymborski: It’s weird, isn’t it?

Jim: Delino Deshields could do what with 600 at bats leading off for the Rangers?

Dave Cameron: Happy Wednesday, everyone.

Dave Cameron: We just published the SS positional power rankings, which wraps up the infield, and we’ll move to the outfield tomorrow.

Dave Cameron: I’ll take any PPR questions you have, or there’s a WBC championship game tonight, or we can just talk about the 2017 season.

Bork: If Devon Travis can stay healthy.

Dave Cameron: That would help the Jays an awful lot. But at this point, probably not something they should bet on.

Not Didi: What is the best solution to replace me for the next month? I think, I am about to show how valuable I am in April.

Paul Swydan:

Paul Swydan: Hi everybody!

Jeff Zimmerman: Hey

Matt M: this WBC has been great

Eric A Longenhagen: Good morning from Tempe.

Eric A Longenhagen: Chat, go.

Tommy N.: Did you get to see the Padres’ prospects recently? What can you tell us about what you saw?

Eric A Longenhagen: Yes, several.

Eric A Longenhagen: Hold on, let me grab my notes so I can do this properly….

Eric A Longenhagen: Okay..

Dan Szymborski: OK, let’s get the party going.

bl27: walk issue will be a problem for Blake Snell ? Similar to Edinson Volquez early in his career

Dan Szymborski: Given his minor league walk rates, I expect it to be his weakness.

DEF: Wait, today is only Wednesday? This week is really dragging.

Dan Szymborski: FRIDAY

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.

Jeff Sullivan: Hello friends

Jeff Sullivan: Welcome to Friday baseball chat

Bork: Hello, friend!

Jeff Sullivan: Hello friend

Jeff Sullivan: Your rare absences only serve to make me appreciate your presence all the more

Bork: Now that Mike Trout has been proven to be bad, will the Angels be trading him?

Eno Sarris: Hey you. I… I:

Nelson: Why no Haitians in the MLB, compared to the DR pipeline?

Eno Sarris: Less infrastructure overall, less baseball infrastructure in particular, and maybe French influence pushes youths to soccer.

hscer: my team already sucks what do i do now

Eno Sarris: get really into prospects?

Bruce: Have you ever done a high stakes NFBC type of league? Ive been playing regular roto with friends or ottoneu for 20 years. Whould I get slaughtered like a lamb playing in a 1000$+ league like that?

Dave Cameron: Happy Wednesday, everyone.

Dave Cameron: Plenty to talk about this week; the wildly entertaining WBC, Eric’s Top 100 and the updated prospect valuations we rolled out, new Statcast data, every Rockie getting hurt…

Dave Cameron: So let’s chat for an hour or so.

The Average Sports Fan: Do you agree with Moncada as the #1 overall prospect?

Dave Cameron: I think it depends on what you’re emphasizing. It seems pretty likely that he has the highest upside of any prospect in this class, and if you think he’s going to hit for a lot of power or get the strikeouts under control, he’s a franchise player. Of course, given that Benintendi is more likely to produce value in the short-term and seems to have a lower risk profile, it’s perfectly reasonable to take a bit less upside in order to get a higher probability of some value.

Dave Cameron: For the Red Sox, keeping Benintendi was probably the right call, since he’s more likely to help them this year. If I’m the White Sox, and I’m looking way down the road, I probably do prefer Moncada.
