: Kiley is ready to chat now
|
| 12:09 |
Hey Kiley, |
| 12:09 |
: Hey!
|
| 12:11 |
Which list did Pompey not make it onto? Is he less than a 50FV? |
| 12:12 |
: Noticed that a few guys for that rookie list slipped through my filters, like Pompey (50) and Alex Gonzalez (50). I’ll go back in and add them after the chat.
|
| 12:13 |
Would Kopech have made your updated list of the non 200 if he wasnt suspended? |
| 11:42 |
: Yeah, it’s a Tuesday, but Kiley and I have flipped places this week. He has a pretty big prospect update coming out tomorrow, and we figured you guys would rather ask him questions after that was published, so he’s taking my Wednesday spot at noon tomorrow, so I’m doing the Tuesday chat this week.
|
| 11:42 |
: So, the queue is open, and we’ll get started in 20 minutes or so.
|
| 12:00 |
: Alright, let’s get this thing going.
|
| 12:00 |
What player were you most wrong on (wrongest?) this season? |
| 12:01 |
: Has to be Nelson Cruz, right? Though I’m pretty sure that no one saw this coming. 34 year olds don’t generally put up a 180 wRC+ for the first time in their careers.
|
| 12:01 |
Who is your NL rookie of the year pick at this point? |
| 9:15 |
: Well, it’s this again
|
| 9:15 |
: It’s me moderating a live baseball chat, with you
|
| 9:15 |
: You better make this week count, because next week I’m gone!
|
| 9:16 |
: (And then I’m back. I’m not quitting FanGraphs.)
|
| 9:16 |
good riddance |
| 9:16 |
: kisses!
|
| 11:50 |
: be here shortly! been watching with my son:
|
| 12:00 |
Watch your jaw, G-Eno… |
| 12:00 |
: never going to wave my finger in your face
|
| 12:00 |
Cargo: “deGrom the best pitcher in the league” |
| 12:01 |
: Eno: “All his pitches get an 80 grade”
|
| 12:01 |
: (I will say maybe I was a bit overexcited. the curve is more of a 60, and the change and slider probably 70s. But that fastball, with the command, and velocity, is an 80.)
|
| 5:00 |
: Hi everyody! Jeff and I will be here at 9 pm ET to talk some baseball. Until then, I’m going to go eat this tub of sugar cookies I bought for my son’s playdate today that he and his friends decided they didn’t like.
See you soon! |
| 9:01 |
: Hi everybody!
|
| 9:01 |
: Hey
|
| 9:02 |
Gardner or Eaton rest of the way? |
| 9:03 |
: Gardner, a little more history of producing
|
| 9:04 |
: Pretty close to dead even:
But I agree with Jeff. |
| 12:14 |
: Alrighty I’m back home after 3 weeks of travel and now I can buckle down on some fresh rankings that will be coming your way soon
|
| 12:15 |
Thoughts on Alex Reyes? What do you think his ceiling is? |
| 12:16 |
: Saw him right before the DL stint and put up video and a report here: http://www.fangraphs.com/bl…
There’s frontline upside if he can harness everything. |
| 12:18 |
With Anthony Alford starting to get a tone of attention in the Jays system with his HighA performance thus far this year, has it overshadowed what former first rounder D.J Davis has done in A ball? Eerily similar #’s, albeit one level lower. Does D.J Davis still have 5 tool potential/high upside? Or is Anthony Alford now the far and away better prospect? |
| 12:20 |
: I had Alford 9th in the system entering the season and Davis 30th: http://www.fangraphs.com/bl…
Alford is younger, performing better, at a higher level and is coming off a multi-year layoff from playing football. Davis’ improvement is encouraging, but Alford was a better than Davis when he was playing football and the gap is even wider now. He’ll be a top 100 prospect. |
| 12:20 |
Colin Rea makes his big league debut tonight. What do you expect from him short and long term? |
| 9:08 |
: Hello friends
|
| 9:08 |
: Welcome to live baseball chat
|
| 9:09 |
: I’ll be with you for live baseball chat in 30 seconds!
|
| 9:11 |
Mets odds of winning the division seemed to jump between yesterday and today. Is that simply because it’s another day being in first place and thus closer to the end of the season? |
| 9:12 |
: No, that wouldn’t be it — nobody played
|
| 9:14 |
: I’m going to guess a few things. Could’ve been an update to the depth charts. Could’ve had a new set of updated projections inserted. And it could also just be statistical noise; the projections are based on a large but not infinite number of simulations, so each one comes with some error bars and you might observe this sort of fluctuation
|
| 10:46 |
: Two things. 1) Don’t make fun of these guys, they were legit. 2) Leave your questions, but in the interest of fun, I’m going to try and scroll up to the now and reach into the vault for questions when I need.

Coolest pitch grip you’ve ever seen? Got any grips yesterday at the A’s game? |
| 12:01 |
: Oh man it was grip fest. Got Britton’s sinker (cutter grip!) and Darren O’Day’s grips and we were having a love fest. Coolest might be the Critter from Latos or Despaigne’s weird thing.
|
| 12:01 |
As a FG+ member, I would like to read your closer article from yesterday but everytime I click on it, it logs me out… |
| 12:01 |
: hit me up on twitter and I’ll get you help
