Comment From Kev
Hey guys, which three out of the following would you want to make up your bench in an OBP league? Weeks, Ross, Ruggiano, Schierholtz, Moreland, Ludwick and Dominguez. Thanks!

9:05
Jeff Zimmerman: None
9:05
Paul Swydan: I’ll say Ross, Schierholtz and one of Moreland/Ruggiano. I can’t shake the feeling that one of them is going to have a big year at some point. Gun to my head – Moreland.

Okay Mariners, now that I know what that feels like, YOUR TURN.

So Strasburg’s top comp is Mark Prior. How depressing.

Jason Collette Baseball Chat — 1/31/14

Jason Collette: As the President of the Wilson Betemit fan club, it is a great day today. Let’s chat!
11:04
Comment From Mitch
Is there any hope Carlos Quentin can become relevant again?

   Jason Collette: Guys do not get healthier with age. Ideally, he’d be in the AL as a DH, but the fact he has exceeded 100 games played just 3 times in his career is not good.

 
11:05
Comment From Sandy Alderson
Am I going to actually pull the trigger on Stephen Drew?

   Jason Collette: You would have done it already if you were doing to do so. Milking it out only gives more leverage to he and his agent as the open market could create new opportunities with injuries that happen during camp.

 
11:06
Comment From Kev
Hey Jason, what do you think we can expect from Miguel Gonzalez?

   Jason Collette: No more than what he’s done so far, maybe a bit less.

 
11:09
Comment From Brad
If aj burnett signs with Orioles, who gets bumped from rotation?

   Jason Collette: Inserting the required “assuming he passes the physical” comment, one would have to think that adding Burnett does not initially bode well for Gausman opening the season in the rotation.

 
11:11
Comment From Earl
I’ve always been a fan of betemit, back when we he was a great platoon option in video games (it’s been a while for me). Anywho, what do you see him doing for the Rays this season?

   Jason Collette: For now, providing depth assuming he’s willing to report to Durham as it is tough to see him making the 25 man roster as it looks today. Ideally, he would give up switch hitting as he is simply a poor hitter from the right side but platooned effectively, I’ve always seen some hidden value in his bat from the left side.

Eno Sarris: Will be here shortly!
12:00
Eno Sarris: Lyrics of the day, might be easy for some, but very many bonus points if you get the version I’m listening to

You tell me this town ain’t got no heart. Well, well, well, you can never tell.
The sunny side of the street is dark. Well, well, well, you can never tell.

Comment From Chris
What tier in Firestone Walker in?

12:00
Eno Sarris: One, of course, I made the rules up for the Fantasy Beer League.

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
9:05
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

Comment From Guest
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.

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
