|
| 11:52 |
: It’s Wednesday, so let’s chat. The awards races are interesting, a few of the playoff races are still worth watching, and there’s always off-season speculation for those of you whose teams aren’t exactly fun to watch right now.
|
| 11:52 |
: The queue is now open, and we’ll start in 10 minutes.
|
| 12:03 |
: Okay, we’ll start up in a second. I have to clear the queue of some immature morons first.
|
| 12:05 |
which team that isn’t really considered a favorite but will make the playoffs do you think has the best chance at having a deep playoff run? |
| 12:06 |
: The Dodgers. I think they’re getting a bit lost in the shuffle in the NL right now, but that is still one really scary team.

Other than Christian Arroyo, who has impressed you the most in the Giants system this year? From what you’ve seen personally and the reports you get. |
| 12:14 |
: There hasn’t really been a huge riser in their system this year, but I like the guys they’ve added: Lucius Fox from July 2 and the draft crop of Phil Bickford, Jalen Miller, Chris Shaw and Andrew Suarez. Those guys are all 45s and 50s FV-wise to a system that needed some of those.
|
| 12:14 |
Can Austin Riley stick at 3B? |
| 12:15 |
: I didn’t think so last summer but he dropped some weight and now it looks like yes.
|

Jeff, fun DH facts. EE has been worth ~3 wins in the last 47 games, 39 at DH. Second highest total from what I can see. He is so oood he only has to play half the game. |

Hello Eno |
| 6:18 |
: Hi everybody! Jeff and I will be here at 9 pm ET for all of your baseballing questions, including but not limited to just how much Jeff is panicking over the state of Johnny Cueto. See you soon!
|

: OK, let’s do this.

Paul, as a red sox fan, do you have a twinge of disappointment that new Yankees stadium is so dull. It used to be sold out all the time and loud. |
| 9:02 |
: and the Yankees were dominant with players every knew and loved.
|
| 9:02 |
: Well, I take comfort in the fact that when things are really important, the Stadium will be filled. I expect a wild card game there to be absolutely awesome TV.
|
| 9:03 |
: But yes, it’s a little sad that they can’t fill it up every night. To Jeff’s point, it’s been a little bit since they had that kind of team on the field.
|
| 1:04 |
: Kiley’s here, get used to it |
| 1:08 |
Will AJ Reed’s power and hitting ability translate to the majors? Seems the Astros have a black hole at first base right now. Thanks. |
| 1:12 |
: In college it was a bit of a concern that there was some stiffness to his swing, but he had a good approach and he hit all while pitching each Friday. So, there was a slight concern about contact but it was more that he was 1B only and weren’t quite sure what he was, with most scouting looks coming in his one big year in college. He’s obviously answered those questions. It isn’t a perfect swing and I think expectations are getting a little too high given his numbers. He won’t be Schwarber just because the minor league numbers are the same–there’s a reason they were drafted so far apart. All that said, it’s possibly 30 HR power (70 raw) and he should be able to hit around the .250 or .270 range and draw some walks, so he could still be really good. This is why a bit of a mystery player went in the top 50 picks as a college 1B–if it was 60 power he slides another 20 picks lower. |

Hey Kiley! Can you give a current MLB comp for an average outcome for Max Kepler? Blackmon? Polanco? |
| 1:13 |
: He’s a bunch of 50 and 55 tools that’s an OF tweener defensively. A name doesn’t come to mind for a comp, but you can probably figure that one out. |
| 1:13 |
Colin Moran has put together a good season in AA at 22 years old. Will he see a rise in his stock this off season? Does he have enough power potential to make an impact at MLB level? |
| 11:58 |
: If you die at 1 PM today, you will die knowing that you wasted the last hour of your existence because it’s time for the Dan Szymborski Cavalcade of Mediocrity!
