Comment From RK
Remember when I took issue with you calling Polonco’s rookie year “outstanding” and you doubled down saying you wanted all my (imaginary) shares?

12:01
Eno Sarris: I’ll still take your shares! I still see above average speed, patience and contact and I think the power will develop.

Comment From Maxamuz

I paid $18 for Harper. Trout went for $42.

12:02
Eno Sarris: He was surprisingly interesting to interview. Maybe I shouldn’t say surprising, but Trout’s so terrible, so I figured some of the very top just wouldn’t tell me anything.

Would you trade Stanton for Harper?

12:04

Comment From Graham
Guess on when Correa gets called up?

12:05

What were your thoughts on Preston Tucker prior to him being called up? Think he has the skills to stick in the majors going forward?

Do you see the Jays signing any other July 2 guys aside from Vlad?

9:19
Jeff Sullivan: Literally slept through my alarm for the first time in years!

9:19

9:19
Comment From Bret
How long can Anthony Gose sustain this BABIP?

9:20
Jeff Sullivan: You mean the BABIP that starts with a 4 and where the 4 is followed by a 6?

9:20
Jeff Sullivan: I can buy him as a high-BABIP type — I can’t buy him as Ichiro on line-drive steroids.

AHHHHH STOP HITTING ENTER

Eno Sarris: morning

Comment From Shawn
Got my hands on some Sip of Sunshine. What are your thoughts on it? If I remember correctly you like over Heady Topper?

12:01
Eno Sarris: Yes! And that Fiddle beer, I like it over Heady too. I think Heady might be the sixth or seventh best beer in Vermont after I get my hands on some Hill Farmstead.

11:42
Dave Cameron: It’s my last chat for the month of May — I’m taking next week off — so get your questions in now before the calendar reads June.

11:42
Dave Cameron: The queue is now open, and we’ll start in 15 minutes.

12:02
Comment From Kris
What are the odds that Shelby Miller, Jace Peterson, Foltynewicz and Matt Wisler have more combined 2015 WAR than Jason Heyward, Evan Gattis, Justin Upton and Craig Kimbrel

12:03
Dave Cameron: Not very good. I’d say 5 to 1 or something like that.

12:03
Comment From Guest
Did the Braves, against all odds, actually win that Miller/Heyward swap?

12:03
Dave Cameron: I’m not sure why you’d think it would be against all odds; that trade was a fair swap for both sides, and pretty much everyone said so at the time, I think. http://www.fangraphs.com/bl…

9:01
Comment From Minty
Do you prefer $3 Thor or $1 Rodon for a dynasty?

9:01
Paul Swydan: $1 Rodon. Always take the cheaper pitcher.

9:02
Jeff Zimmerman: Thor based on being in the NL and can throw strikes.

Kiley McDaniel: I’ll be back in 20 minutes to answer your questions

12:04
Kiley McDaniel: Okay I’m back let’s get started

12:04
Comment From Matt
When are you going to Greenville to see Moncada, Devers, etc?

12:05
Kiley McDaniel: Working out the days, maybe this weekend

12:05
Comment From David
I’m baffled by this Difo promotion. Can you try to explain why they would promote him this early and what should we expect out of him?

12:06
Kiley McDaniel: Sounds like they were short on 40-man hitters to call up and he’s an early-count contact guy that is less likely to be embarassed than other guys. He’s also 23 and was a late bloomer, so you can see what they’re thinking, don’t think this is helpful for his development, though.

9:10
Jeff Sullivan: Good player. Not a major leaguer at the moment!

9:10
Jeff Sullivan: Was interesting to hear Dan Farnsworth talk about Correa’s swing in Arizona in March, but it would also be interesting to hear an update on that
