Dave Cameron: After a week off for a ski vacation in West Virginia, I’m back for the regular Wednesday chat. Queue is open, you know the drill.
12:00
Dave Cameron: Alright, lets get this started.
12:00
Comment From Eddie
What’s a fair return for two years of Jeff Samardzija?

12:01
Dave Cameron: A few solid prospects, the best of the bunch being a back-end Top 100 type. He’s not worth any elite prospects or big league pre-arb contributors.
12:01
Comment From Gson
AJ Burnett… does his return to the open market mean the Indians are more likely to have Ubaldo return?

12:01
Dave Cameron: I doubt it. Ubaldo’s going to get a 3 year deal, and I still think the Blue Jays are the team that will give it to him.

Paul Swydan: Hi everybody!

My son wants me to push X. So I did.

Anyhooo, join Jeff Z and me tonight at 9 pm ET. We can talk all about the new HardballTimes.com, which I know you’re all totally going to visit every single day, right? Cool. Cool cool cool.

See you soon!
9:00
Paul Swydan: Ok, guys, let’s do this. I forgot to mention this earlier, but Jeff will be late. He’s doing an expert mock draft that Howard Bender organized.

9:00
Paul Swydan: Yes, a mock draft in January.
9:01
Comment From Eric
In ottoneu, what happens to a team if they don’t make cuts by the keeper deadline and they have exceeded their budget and/or roster limit?

9:01
Paul Swydan: Oh, that’s a good question. Has anyone ever done this? One of the teams in my league forgot to cut people last year, but he wasn’t over the cap.
9:01
Comment From Jaack
AJ Burnett is a fantastic troll.

Jeff Sullivan: Hey guys. I’m in poor health, and my internet’s in poor health, but we’re going to do the best that we can today.

Jeff Sullivan: /war cry

Comment From Stephen
“Waiting for write to provide content”
9:05
Jeff Sullivan: And you can just keep on waiting

Comment From Oren
Should the Jays have just folded?
9:05
Jeff Sullivan: They should probably just fold second base, but the rest of them is all right

When are the Nats’ Zips projections going to be up?

12:02
Dan Szymborski: I believe they’re scheduled to go up Thursday.
12:02
Dan Szymborski: That lily-livered mountebank Cistulli has the Astros projections for tomorrow, then Rangers, Nats, A’s, Giants final order.
12:02
Comment From StevePete
Woo!

12:03
Dan Szymborski: Woo backwards is oow, which means something that I can’t figure out.

Jason Collette: Hi all, let’s get it started. Here until 1p EST
11:58
Comment From Jason Collette Jr.
odds jays make the playoffs

   Jason Collette: slim to none and slim has a foot out the door

 
12:00
Comment From Burris
How surprised are you that Garza signed in Milwaukee?

   Jason Collette: Very surprised. Without the comp pick hanging on him, I thought he would have a lot of suitors but the scuttlebutt on his medicals clearly limited that pool. Milwaukee’s staff looks very good with him on it.

 
12:01
Comment From Jason Collette Jr.
can i draft Goldy 2nd overall?

   Jason Collette: I honestly don’t have a problem with that, but Cabrera is more of a sure thing.

 
12:02
Comment From Guest
Hi Jason, do you think Burnett retires or returns to a contender?

   Jason Collette: I’m all for guys leaving the game before their skills leave them, but I think Burnett still has more to give. This is a nice way to avoid the grind of Spring Training, and his services should have multiple suitors once he stops straddling the fence.

 
12:03
Comment From Pick #5
Trout, Miggy, Goldy, Cutch… who’s next? Still Cano? Kershaw? Puig? H2H points, thanks!

   Jason Collette: Kershaw or CarGo for me

Eno Sarris: Lyrics of the day!

You threw me out the building, the middle of the night
momma tried to tell me something wasn’t right
Now I’ve got a problem, I need to do the math
something goes wrong now you’re gonna get half
12:00
Comment From Spaulding
Why are you so good looking?

12:00
Eno Sarris: Hah. Hopefully it’s not the hair, thinking of a big cut on Friday.
12:00
Comment From YOLO Swag Master
Which baseball player in MLB has the most swag?

12:00
Eno Sarris: Well if swag is car-related… Puig?

Paul Swydan: Hi everybody!

Welcome to another exciting Tuesday night where absolutely nothing has happened except snow, snow, snow, and I don’t even mean informer. But we’re going to talk baseball anyway, because maybe that will distract our wives from the fact that we didn’t get wood off the wood pile to build a fire tonight like she told us to this morning! Oh wait, maybe that was just me. Ssshh, don’t tell her I forgot.

9 pm ET. You do questions. We’ll do polls.
9:01
Paul Swydan: As Kanye West once said, when you try hard, you die hard. So don’t expect a lot of effort from Jeff and I. Kidding!

Let’s do this thang.
9:01
Comment From Kam
Are we just going to ignore Paul making a Snow reference?

9:01
Paul Swydan: No, you don’t have to ignore it at all.
9:01
Comment From KCFaninPA
Who do you think the Royals should go after as a #2 starter?

9:01
Paul Swydan: Hey lookie lookie, a Royals question right off the bat.

Jays wins in 2014 over/under 83.5?

Eno Sarris: lyrics dedicated to my moms

Wherever you go
Wherever you land

I’ll do what I can

CHORUS

The fundamental problem
We all need to face
This is important
But I know you’re not listening
Oh I know you’re not listening

Comment From JEB
(chanting) Eno, Eno, Eno, Eno, Eno!

12:00
Eno Sarris: whoohooo that’ll get me pumped
12:00
Comment From JEB
Was it just me or did Brian Kenney keep calling you “Enus” the other day?

12:00
Eno Sarris: yeah and yet he introduced me as John Hart as one of the greatest young minds in baseball today which is kinda hilarious.
