Eno Sarris Baseball Chat — 3/24/16

1:22
Eno Sarris: dedicated to the baby child, or his song dedicated to me I guess.

12:00
Chad: Masterson gonna pitch in majors this year, and will he have any value at all?

12:00
Eno Sarris: Doubt it.

12:00
Chad: Floyd or Sanchez get the 5th spot? I can see arguments for both

12:01
Eno Sarris: Sanchez. If you put him back in the pen one more time it’s the last time.

12:01
Guest: How nervous are you about Grandal’s injury?

12:01
Eno Sarris: Fairly nervous.

12:01
Ryan: This seems to be a weekly question in your chats, so why not keep the train going. Is Eno still 100% on board with Sam Dyson becoming the new closer for Texas?

12:01
Eno Sarris: Yes. At least eventually. Zero confidence in Tolleson.

12:01
Bork: I’m working off-site today and am in an office where everyone can see my screen. Say hi to all the people, Eno.

12:01
Eno Sarris: FART!

12:01
Jays Fan II: The Jays are going to eat it with the fans if both Bautista and Encarnacion leave next year. I’m a die hard Jays fan, yet I can’t shake the notion that they might be right in refusing to offer either player the contract they’re seeking. Do you think it would be wise for the Jays to re-sign both, keep one, or let both go?

12:02
Eno Sarris: If they can get a good number on Bautista, the fans seem to like him more and he seems more dedicated to his fitness and health. Edwin makes me a bit nervous even though he’s younger.

12:02
Planalp: How do you feel about the Stars and Scrubs approach in roto?

12:03
Eno Sarris: Hopefully that things’ not fully operational. Also, hopefully you’re in a shallow league. Hate it in onlies.

12:03
George is Curious: The first American League rookie OF to be called up this season and make an impact will be ____________?

12:03
Eno Sarris: Tyler Naquin.

12:03
AKA22: Anthony Rendon… overrated based on a 2014 he can’t repeat? Or great bargain likely to rebound this season?

12:03
Eno Sarris: Decent bargain. The next healthy year will be a monster.

12:03
Twinkies Rock: I realize that Joe Mauer is on the downside of his career, but isn’t it fairly possible that he’s being on the level when it comes to having blurred vision last year due to his concussion? I know that injuries will play a factor, but couldn’t Mauer return to at least something around a .285 AVG?

12:03
Eno Sarris: Empty OBP/AVG possible for him, yes.

12:04
Andrew: Hi Eno, I drafted last weekend in a 6×6 (traditional + K/9) 12 team league, and my starting pitchers wound up as Kluber, Salazar, Iglesias, Samardzija, Quintana, Verlander, and Gausman. Am I banking too much on upside/bounceback candidates?

12:05
Eno Sarris: Samardzija, let me get out in front of this one. By Zimmerman’s spread sheet, he’s the same. Brooks has him at 94, which is 93, which is down a bit. I’ve been watching and have only seen 92s. Which might have been cutters, I guess, but even if they were cutters, that sucks, because his cutter sucks and he got whooped last year.

12:05
Eno Sarris: (with more cutters)

12:05
Eno Sarris: As for your team, I actually like it enough, though in K9 I take my starters way earlier than usual because most of my sleepers are like 6-7K9 pitchability types.

12:05
Eno Sarris: And not much to be done with The Shark now but chuck and duck (which seems to be what he’s doing).

12:05
Brian: Piscotty and Grichuk. Do you see both or either of them getting 600 PAs this season?

12:06
Eno Sarris: Grichuk closer because he can play center.

12:06
Tuna: This year’s 2nd-4th round pick (12 teams) that performs like a 1st? Last year you had Donaldson and Arenado pegged perfectly.

12:06
Eno Sarris: I’m FEELING Maikel Franco.

12:06
adam: Yesterday I hit a lude with a 121 mph exit velocity but did i get an article?

12:06
LoCain is a Helluva Drug: What did the five fingers say to the face?

12:06
adam: where are all the white guy dreads in baseball?

12:07
Eno Sarris: John Jaso interlude.

12:07
Tom: What is Adam Conley’s long-term upside in dynasty?

12:08
Eno Sarris: Let’s see. He’s at 93 or so this spring, which is plus velocity. Has a great changeup but the breaker lags behind. Lefty, change-first, good command, velocity coming back… Cole Hamels is the very best he can be. I know there are people that say that Conley is a reliever, so that’s your basement. A lefty Ian Kennedy is an interesting in between, but I believe in Conley’s velocity coming back.

12:09
Jack: Rank for keeper leagues: Eickhoff, Robbie Ray, Rubby, Bassitt, Shane Greene, Aaron Sanchez

12:09
Eno Sarris: Eickhoff, Rubby, Sanchez, Ray, Bassitt.

12:09
Miketron: Last keeper in my AL-only Gausman or Schoop? I feel like the negative news on Gaus gives me a better chance of re-drafting him if I want.

12:09
Eno Sarris: Schoop because second base in AL sucks bad.

12:09
Von Schloss: Joe Ross or Taijuan Walker?

12:09
Eno Sarris: Ross.

12:09
Bobby Blownilla: In a dynasty league nut shell, would you rather draft a minor leaguer/young major leaguer with stuff and some command hoping he learns to spot it or a guy with great command and average stuff hoping he learns to utilize it better.

12:09
Eno Sarris: Stuff first.

12:10
Lone Star: Am I crazy to think that we see both Brinson and Mazara this year? Its not asking too much for a rule 5 pick with contact issues to regress, as well as performance/health issues with choo and desmond.

12:10
Eno Sarris: Mazara but Brinson they going to take a slow approach with, and don’t forget Gallo is first.

12:11
Eno Sarris: oh god Chris Russo missing the point on Harvey so hard right now, saying he’s trying too hard because he’s hanging with models and chefs. Crazy. That’s not trying hard. That sounds like fun to me.

12:11
Saves Vulture: I can’t shake the feeling that Wade Davis will get hurt this season. Anything in his past that would support this notion?

12:11
Eno Sarris: Down two ticks this spring!

12:11
Nick: Is the Royal’s rotation any worse than last year? Maybe I’m overestimating Kennedy/Medlen/whoever else picks up starts, but it can’t be worse than Vargas/Guthrie/2015-Duffy. Right?

12:11
Eno Sarris: I like Medlen! It’s probably a little better. I think the pen will be worse though.

12:12
Lenard: Hi Eno, I have the number one pick in a keeper league redraft (resets every 5 years). I also have Mike Trout in my other keeper league (keep forever). Do I put all my eggs in one basket with Trout or do I diversify so both teams aren’t screwed if he gets hurt? If so, do I go with Harper, Goldy, or Correa with an eye towards this year and the next 4?

12:12
Eno Sarris: Harper vs Trout is shaving the garlic anyway. Might as well have a share of Harper!

12:12
Tony: Does Keon Broxton have a chance to stick and be a double-digit power/speed guy?

12:13
Eno Sarris: Yes. I look forward to seeing his K and swSTR rates!

12:13
Charles O Finley: Chris Bassitt got a chance to be part of the A’s rotation for the next few years?

12:14
Eno Sarris: I do think so, but he’s one of my deep league sleepers more than a mixed league guy. What I like is added velocity on a good pair of fastballs, really good curve, and some hope for his slider.

12:14
Mike: Favorite sleepers for holds?

12:15
Eno Sarris: doesn’t look like they sleepers any more but Bracho, Zych, Strickland, Lowe, Nate Jones, Caminero, Grimm.

12:15
AppleSauce_Smith: carlos rodon is going to win the CY Young. you heard it here first.

12:15
Eno Sarris: Is not impossible.

12:15
Mike: Got scooped on a couple guys right before me and panicked to take Verlander at 115th overall. Do you think JV can get anywhere close to where he used to be and deliver value this year?

12:16
Eno Sarris: Yeah. Found his high fastball, has one of the highest spin rates on the fastball in baseball, and is getting Ks and PU high in the zone gain.

12:16
Miketron: So we found out the second child will be a boy(so is our first). Wife is already talking about a third. How do I stop this madness?

12:16
Eno Sarris: Sames. No ideas.

12:16
brandon: thoughts on Byung Ho Park?

12:16
Eno Sarris: I believe in power and bad batting average!

12:16
Dead Sox: Rusney Castillo starting to look like the latest in the line of Red Sox overpriced under producing signings, agree or disagree?

12:16
Eno Sarris: Very much agree, but he’s athletic and could be a swing change away from the power that would make this a much more interesting package. Have a couple last man on bench shares this year still.

12:17
Michigan Fan: Given their lack of line-up protection and where they’re being drafted, is Freddie Freeman not a better value than Joey Votto?

12:18
Eno Sarris: Lineup protection overrated unless we just talking r/RBI. In a batting average league, you might be right. But all those walks also lead to Rs.

12:18
Hollywood: Can J.Pederson go 30 HR & 25 SB’s??

12:18
Eno Sarris: Under on SBs.

12:19
Rich Hill: Any chance I still make good on all the sleeper talk I generated prior to taking the mound in Spring Training?

12:19
Eno Sarris: Been asking around and no, it doesn’t look good. He needs to throw that curve for strikes because people will take it. If he can’t… whoof.

12:20
Rays fan: Will Blake Snell be up in a couple weeks? He’s needed sooner rather than later imo

12:20
Eno Sarris: I bet not until June or so.

12:20
John: Why so high on Marcus Semien? What’s he changed to think he will be any better than last season?

12:21
Eno Sarris: Early on, he was working really hard on defense and his offense suffered. Later on, he came together. Minor league numbers suggest upside in patience and power and even in Ks. Last: projections alone make him a top ten shortstop.

12:21
Twinkies for lunch: No love for Kyle Gibson, but in my AL only league that doesn’t count strikeouts I like him.

12:21
Eno Sarris: 11 in 11 innings this spring, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a career high in Ks this year.

12:22
John: Who closes for Marlins if AJ Ramos suffers an injury?

12:22
Eno Sarris: Bryan Morris is my guess.

12:23
Eno Sarris: Guys. I almost got a normal night sleep last night. Sure, I woke up three times to deal with crap, but I went right back to bed quickly. I feel sorta rested. It’s a

12:23
Andy: Justin Turner or Maikel Franco?

12:23
Eno Sarris: MAIKEL

12:23
Andy: Grandal or Mesoroco?

12:24
Eno Sarris: Both? At this point, you might want both, really. Never know what will happen with that hip or that elbow.

12:24
Chitown : Can Bauer finally put it together this year?

12:25
Eno Sarris: He’s hitting 97 and sitting 94-95 right now. So velocity might do it for him, even if the command isn’t quite there. Even the best miss their spots by 10 inches on average … In 3-0 counts!!! Stuff first.

12:25
Ziggy Stardust: Talk to us about Cody Anderson. Does Eno think he’s prime for a huge breakout this year?

12:25
Eno Sarris: Velo good.

12:25
Sir Nerdlington: Thank you for verbing. Verbs rule.

12:25
Eno Sarris: Oops.

12:25
Scott: I’m in Nashville and I’ve started really enjoying sours. any suggestions that aren’t too pricey?

12:25
Eno Sarris: Doesn’t really exist, because the cheaper ones aren’t as good. But Destihl is around.

12:25
Brutus: When is someone going to write an article about Kakie Bryan? GIVE THE READERS WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!!!!

12:26
Eno Sarris: I keep thinking this is the guy that talks about the deuces he drops in his pants. Kakie.

12:26
daneyko: Eno Sarris is a new manager in the MLB. You need to choose your 5th starter: Vince Velasquez or Juan Nicasio

12:26
Eno Sarris: VV So hard. Nicasio aight but still not throwing changeups and his velocity is down two ticks in the third.

12:26
Peter: Best spec closer pick-up: Farqhuar, Jumbo, Cingrani, or Madson?

12:27
Eno Sarris: Jumbo. Well, I guess Farq, but I think Colome takes it.

12:27
Domingo Santana: How many home runs will I hit this year?

12:27
Eno Sarris: 22.6

12:27
Ketel Marte: How many bases will I steal this year?

12:27
Eno Sarris: 23.8

12:27
Keeper? I hardly know her? : Hey Eno, any tips to goose along lazy/bad managers in long term leagues. We already have a buy in, but some of the guys will drop off halfway during the season.

12:27
Eno Sarris: I’m in a league with graduated pay-ins where the bottom pays the most to the top. I’ve also seen second-half monetary awards, and also top pick goes to consolation bracket winner.

12:28
Billy Beane: Chris Coghlan will become a starter for the A’s this season. Tell me what happens to make this a reality, and when it all goes down.

12:28
Eno Sarris: Valencia turds out against righties, or Jed Lowrie gets hurt. Done.

12:28
Jeff: Back in on VMart? Sporer was all about that base.

12:28
Eno Sarris: Eh already dealing with injuries again. I have a couple shares but am not super excited, more of a deeper league guy.

12:28
Marty: I envision a not-too-distant future where there are 1/2 middle relievers on most teams who average 110 or so innings and come into the game around the 4th inning. We’re almost there right? FOs understand the times through the order penalty and most managers get it and utilize this strategy in the postseason already.

12:29
Eno Sarris: Yes, the major hurdle is finding someone to do it desperate enough for the role to not complain publicly, and then somehow convincing arbitration panels to pay that guy okay.

12:29
Eno Sarris: (No wins or saves for that guy)

12:29
Beers Ball: Is Franco in the 5th too high in a 12 team-er?

12:30
Eno Sarris: That’s the going price these days and it’s not too much, yet.

12:30
Shane Greene: Am I actually going to be good this year or is Paul being a homer?

12:30
Eno Sarris: He had major nerve problems last year. There’s still some hope, and a major possiblity for a role at the back end of that rotation still. Veterans that will get hurt in the rotation, and Mike Pelfrey.

12:31
Johnny5Alive: Is Eno still on board that Daniel Hudson becomes the closer in Zona?

12:31
Eno Sarris: I’ve softened a bit on Ziegler, because he’s a unicorn. Numbers say that new closers have more velocity and Ks than the guy they replace, but Ziegler is so weird, he might keep it. Hudson is next for me though.

12:31
daneyko: Your bold prediction about Byung-ho Park

12:31
Eno Sarris: .250/25

12:32
Maxamuz: Why zero confidence in Tolleson?

12:33
Eno Sarris: Very average, already replaced in a big spot. Last year was first time he had above-average K for a reliever, average velocity. Any drop, and he has to be Soria to stay in the role.

12:33
Justin: I hate to be fantasy question guy but this is killing me. Points keeper league. Can keep Jose Bautista for a first or Starling Marte for a 5th. Can I not keep Bautista?

12:33
Eno Sarris: Marte.

12:33
$$$ Bill: I’ve heard some positive reports out of Tiger camp about Matt Boyd’s slider. They say he’s added some velocity to it, and now has it in the upper 80s.Have you had a chance to look at him this spring? Seems intriguing if he fills that 5th slot coming out of spring.

12:33
Eno Sarris: He’s good, but I think late game lefty reliever good. Some problems keeping velocity.

12:34
Whit: Any sleeper third basemen you like in fantasy this year? I currently have Jake Lamb, who you have big predictions for, but is there anyone else you would recommend?

12:34
Eno Sarris: Castellanos, Suarez.

12:34
bigsmooth: Do you see John Lamb in the Majors immediately when healthy?

12:34
Eno Sarris: yeah. Great DL stash.

12:34
Pat: Mark Appel do anything with his oppurutnity this year?

12:34
Eno Sarris: I’m not hopeful.

12:34
Bill: Advice for an AL Only Keeper (can be kept this year and next), keep 4: Sano $1, Buxton $4, DeShields $3, Betts $21, Wade Davis $5, Stroman $3, Darvish $4. Thx Eno

12:35
Eno Sarris: Sano Buxton Betts Stroman

12:35
shubbles: over/under: my clump or my stump?

12:35
Terrible Ted: Want to see my 2 ball approach?

12:36
Johnny5Alive: Went to Portland, ME last week. Visited 7 of the breweries: Rising Tide, Oxbow, Shipyard, Liquid Riot, Bissell Brothers, Foundation and Allagash. You are all jealous. Liquid Riot makes this “white stout” which is delicious. And a raspberry sour. But Bissell Brothers made some pretty delicious beers as well.

12:36
Maikel Franco: I’m feeling myself.

12:36
Eno Sarris: Yes.

12:37
Ed: Donaldson or Correa with the 6th pick in standard league?

12:37
Eno Sarris: Donaldson. Scarcity overrated in standard leagues.

12:37
George is Curious: The first American League rookie OF to be called up AFTER OPENING DAY and make an impact will be ____________?

12:37
Eno Sarris: Mazara?

12:37
mtsw: Is a guy like Cueto with a “trickster” repertoire more likely to age well since he’s not as reliant on pure power to get outs?

12:37
Eno Sarris: On the other hand, all those deliveries are hard to keep in check.

12:38
Sean Manea: What makes you think you have better hair than me?

12:39
Eno Sarris: More conditioner? I wish I had his body though. Hair body. Well, I mean he’s a big dude too.

12:39
Ax Man: Is Lincecum ever having his showcase?

12:39
Eno Sarris: Not a good sign.

12:39
Alex Breen: More valuable this year in 5X5: Raisel or Rougned?

12:39
Eno Sarris: Smell that Odor.

12:39
80085: as a player, would you rather deal with a child or mimes in the clubhouse?

12:39
Eno Sarris: mimes don’t talk

12:40
Michigan Fan: Who will be this year’s AJ Pollock? Gerrardo Parra maybe?

12:41
Eno Sarris: You have to define Pollock first. He was an okay right-handed prospect that was defense first and figured something out against righty pitchers to be better than expected. That’s actually super rare and I wouldn’t call for it to happen again.

12:41
jtt: Eno, why do you think left handed hitters are so bad against lefties? One theory I always hear is that kids don’t face enough lefties when they are younger. If that is the case, should natural lefties learn to hit right handed at a young age?

12:42
Eno Sarris: One other theory, and I think it makes a lot of sense, is that it’s just hard to see the lefty release point with two eyes as a lefty. You see guys like Adam LaRoche opening up to look straight at the pitcher, but even LaRoche admitted that meant his swing had more moving parts.

12:42
mtsw: In a league of other well-informed fans, a lot of times the best value is boring guys who are likely to produce decently but aren’t exciting to have on your fantasy team and lack upside, and “sleepers” end up being overpaid for. Evan Longoria this season seems like a good example of this type of player, who are some others?

12:42
Eno Sarris: Yes, there is a time for vanilla veterans.

12:43
B.B. Rodriguez: I’m very confused by Ian Desmond’s projections. He basically had a terrible June last year but his projection is to basically repeat. While Pablo and Hanley were fairly terrible all year and are projected to rebound. How does one season reset his whole baseline?

12:43
Eno Sarris: I think there were issues — swinging strikes, high BABIPs, high strikeout rates — that clouded his projections to begin with.

12:44
Chitown : What are your thoughts on Maeda?

12:44
Eno Sarris: 3.8/1.15 with a 6k9. less than people expect, but pretty good.

12:44
Jerad Eickhoff: Am I the next Roy Halladay?

12:44
Eno Sarris: no.

12:44
Brad: You confident Carlos Martinez is healthy after the shoulder shut him down last year? Looks great in spring

12:45
Eno Sarris: Mechanics still look too open to me, like he’ll get hurt again eventually. Could try to ride it for a year though.

12:45
Chitown : For dynasty purposes: Maeda, Park or AJ Reed?

12:45
Eno Sarris: Reed, Park, Maeda.

12:45
Mike: Seems like there are varying opinions on Ed Rodriguez in Boston and just how valuable he can be when he comes back. Definitely was inconsistent last year but when he was good he was REALLY good. Was supposedly tipping his pitches for a bit, then fixed that. Think he could really be a stud moving forward. Thoughts? Prefer him or Gausman in the future?

12:46
Eno Sarris: I’ll take a chance on Ed. I thought he was hot fire, and as a lefty with more established pitches, and no shoulder problem right now, he’s ahead.

12:46
Mike: How is it depth, when your depth is injury prone or not good players? #Dodgers

12:46
Eno Sarris: There’s still a bunch of them. Even if/when Crawford goes down, VanSlyke/Hernandez is a decent tandem.

12:47
DDSP: Hey buddy – ever copy paste a bunch of erotic fiction into a draft chat field? I think it’s a good strategy when it comes to — ahhh man! Just clumped in my pants….. =\ big mess.

12:47
Eno Sarris: oh man now I understand who you are! never draft with this man, for various reasons.

12:48
uruguayan: Do you have any doubts about the actual beastliness of Todd Frazier? Sometimes I get a weird Jason Bay vibe from him. Also, where do you think he’ll sign next year?

12:48
Eno Sarris: No, he’s a strong man. I get more worried about his plate approach, about pitchers figuring him out.

12:49
Paul: So my deep draft is on Saturday. 8 hour live auction with interspersed food breaks. I am not prepared. Any strategies for winging it?

12:49
Eno Sarris: Get the calculator up and try to hurriedly gather some cheap/dollar/reserve players. You can figure out which stars are worth it quickly, but if you don’t know what cheap players to throw late, you’re screwed.

12:50
Eno Sarris: (and you can find those cheap players by scrolling down in the depth charts to the bottom of each position and finding backups that should take jobs)

12:50
Jeet: I was having a huge debate about Arcia on Twitter. What do people see about his offensive upside? The standard answer is “People said it is like Lindor last year” but Lindor is an exception to the rule not the norm. Defense first SS with limited offensive upside?

12:51
Eno Sarris: He’s also not nearly the same quality prospect, I don’t think. I think he could turn into a Segura type.

12:51
adam: guys, i ran the numbers. batflipz are worth an additional 0.3 WAR. Wow.

12:51
80085: chicago teams are weird. the south side is too serious, the north side is a bunch of silly dinguses

12:52
The Dude of NY: My sister often makes funny remarks that don’t necessarily make a lot of sense. I’m thinking of nicknaming her Twitter.

12:52
Eno Sarris: phew. Had to scroll to get that one together.

12:52
phil : Pillar was absurdly bad a lot of last year. Does Saunders end up leading off? He feels under the radar to me. If he stays in the 6/7 slot could get more SB. A 20/20 guy?

12:53
Eno Sarris: Given his injuries, I’ll go way under on the stolen bases. But yeah I like Saunders at the plate more than Pillar.

12:53
Mike: Better use of a bench spot as OF5 in a 16 team keeper lg behind Betts, Marte, Grichuk and Schwarber – KBroxton or Max Kepler?

12:53
Eno Sarris: Kepler.

12:53
Eno Sarris: None of your guys need a platoon mate now.

12:53
Zorn: Dynasty: Prefer Eickhoff or Vinnie Velasquez?

12:54
Eno Sarris: Velasquez has higher ceiling based on his better fastball. Floor, and this year, goes to Jerad.

12:54
Wut: You have Walker ranked higher than J. Ross on your update SP rankings? (by 21 spots)

12:55
Eno Sarris: Interesting. Yeah, in the chat it’s much more off the cuff. I suppose a reasoned look at Walker says he has more pitches, similar velocity, and more adjustments behind him. I’m just really feeling Ross recently, it seems like, if his brother can do it, why can’t Joe? Their pitches are like the exact same.

12:55
The Date: Should I take my girlfriend to Mets or Yankees game?

12:56
Eno Sarris: More bang for buck at Mets.

12:56
Joe: What does Ian Desmond’s season look like? Him or Kang?

12:56
Eno Sarris: Desmond. More volume, more steals, similar power.

12:57
Eno Sarris:

12:57
Zorak: Eno! People went hog wild on closers in my auction this year, bidding as much as $25 for top guys (12tm h2h points $300). Deciding that that was insane, I went with only dollar guys, ending up with Doolittle, Cishek and Vizcaino, confident I can find closers on the wire all year. Should I start swapping out now? Osuna, Hoover, Strickland, Jefress, and every candidate in Philly/Colorado are available in FAAB right now. Thanks Eno!

12:58
Eno Sarris: I think Grilli starts with job, but I’d wait for confirmation since the options are pretty decent. Jeffress for Vizcaino right now if you feeling itchy.

12:58
Bill: Who’s the closer in Toronto? Storen or Osuna?

12:58
Eno Sarris: Storen at first but not all year.

12:58
Ralph: A few years ago I stopped doing fantasy baseball after many years because the stress caused it to stop being worth it to me. Lately I have been finding myself interested in starting back up again but I worry I will head back down a similar path. I suppose fantasy baseball may not be for everyone and am OK if I am one of those people. Any advice for someone with my feelings toward the game to be able to refocus my attitude about it? Thanks.

12:58
Eno Sarris: Perhaps don’t put money down. And try a weekly lineup league?

12:59
Zorak: I am cornholio. I need TP for my Byung-ho

12:59
Big hurt: Not enough nonsense

1:00
Bork: MY LUDE METER IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW. I NEED MORE LUDES

1:00
Eno Sarris: we having a bit of trouble on these.

1:00
mtsw: Are you a believer in the “Player X had a great season last year if you remove April and May” school of logic?

1:00
Eno Sarris: Not really. Except! if they ended the season well and there was an adjustment mid-season. Then I’m interested.

1:01
Bill: Has any player in MLB history every looked more like a wet toe with a baseball hat on than Brian McCann?

1:01
Eno Sarris: Man I needed you a minute ago.

1:02
hung like mr cooper: whats the ceiling on severino and e rodriguez? would you think #2 sp?

1:02
Eno Sarris: Severino more 1 Ed more 2.

1:02
Zorn: Can Brad Miller be starting SS material 15 team roto?

1:02
Eno Sarris: only with a platoon caddy.

1:02
Matt: Last season, Latos saw his K% come back closer to his career norms, but severly underperformed in ERA relative to FIP. Is there any reason to believe that some stability in a rotation spot this year will allow him to be rosterable in fantasy and maybe even…gasp…a #5 starter?

1:02
Eno Sarris: All about his health. I don’t think he was really healthy last year.

1:03
BBK: Thoughts on realmuto? Last year (in an admittedly small sample) he posted slightly below average ISO/hard hit %, with great contact %, & an all fields approach. Think I’m too excited about this young’n catcher. Please temper my expectations!

1:04
Eno Sarris: .260/15/10 the hardest I can push his projection, so not a star, but not bad actually. Younger Martinesque.

1:05
Eno Sarris:

1:05
ctw: Eno, the auction calculator really gives a huge boost to catcher value that is more than my gut. any chance you keep Posey over one of Arenado/Donaldson? 8-team triple slash.

1:06
Eno Sarris: I’ve mentally adjusted catchers down a bit off the calculator, yes.

1:06
Michigan Fan: Cesar Hernandez will bat .295 and steal 30 bags. Am I crazy?

1:06
Eno Sarris: I like him and will take under on both.

1:06
Zorak: Can you rank: Socrates, Arquimedes, Adonis?

1:06
Eno Sarris: You got it, you get an A.

1:06
E5: BASEBALL’S ALMOST BACK!!!!

1:06
Ham: Who doesn’t like a good ole slab of ham!

1:07
Eric: When will J.P. Crawford be up?

1:07
Eno Sarris: July?

1:07
Todd: Are you as high as on Velasquez as the rest of the industry? Are he and Eovlaldi worthy in a 12 team mixed?

1:08
Eno Sarris: Yes and yes, but hopefully your last two pitchers, and I’d feel better about VV if he actually had the role in hand right now.

1:08
Justin Turner: What are the chances that I’m a top ten 3B?

1:08
Eno Sarris: pretty good, but not much ceiling beyond.

1:08
Michigan Fan: Pujols career-low BABIP suggests a rebound. Can he still mash 35 bombs with a .275 average?

1:09
Eno Sarris: The BABIP might, but everything else suggests he’s falling apart. Body-wise, I think he’ll miss time this year even if he’s an okay hitter still. Also, not sure he’ll hit 35 again.

1:09
Tommy: You must get millions of questions, because I can never seem to get one answered. De Leon, or Urias up soon?

1:10
Eno Sarris: Doubt it. They’ll try not to go that well for as long as possible. De Leon first, perhaps after the next injury. But after this rash, they still talking Frias before either of them.

1:10
Adam: You think I can carve out a starting-caliber 1B by playing a combo of Duda, Moreland, Moss, and Parker in ottoneu 5×5 daily lineup league? What should my strategy be for playing these guys?

1:11
Eno Sarris: Yup. Duda always against righties, though he will cede sometimes to Moreland at home against a crappy righty. If both facing a lefty, Moss hopefully playing.

1:11
Zorak: What’s your outlook on Brantley now that he’s in play for opening day? In the RG March rankings he was around OF40 and buys had him as low as in the 80s. He missed 25 games last year and was easily in the top 20 even without his 2014 HR total. Is it all injury risk? His k/bb rate is so sexy, especially in a points league.

1:12
Eno Sarris: Yeah, and Zimmerman (back/front shoulder analysis) and Stephania Bell (historical/medical analysis) both said he should be fine. I think he’s more OF20.

1:13
Jimbo: I know you have plenty of starting pitcher sleepers, but which one or two would you say you are most excited about heading into the regular season?

1:13
Eno Sarris: DeSclafani, Rodon, VV.

1:14
Tuna: Why do I feel Hanley is going to be a steal this year? No more OF, plus healed shoulder.

1:14
Eno Sarris: Got him last night in the FG Staff ottoneu, so I’m willing to get some shares.

1:15
Eno Sarris: Man was that draft tough. Wife wasn’t willing to give the whole night, so I changed two diapers, made dinner, and read a book to my one year old while doing a live auction. Ended up spending every penny and rostering four $1 relievers lol.

1:15
Johnny5Alive: Westbrook is a nice Gose that is ususally very cheap. Best taste for the price, one could argue.

1:15
Eno Sarris: It’s tart-ish, that’s pretty good.

1:15
Bing Bong: Isn’t this Cody Anderson talk the same as Zach McAllister last year?

1:15
Eno Sarris: Similar, but Anderson’s secondary pitches better than McA’s.

1:15
Joe: Why is Kike Hernandez not in the discussion for the Ethier injury?

1:16
Eno Sarris: He’s starting at SS while Seager is out.

1:16
bigsmooth: Thoughts on Hyun Soo Kim? You agree with Steamer, which seems optimistic.

1:16
Eno Sarris: I do? I’ve said he’s the worst of the three Korean bats to come over, and that his one tool (patience) sometimes doesn’t work without other tools.

1:16
Eno Sarris: This song is super short!

1:17
Eno Sarris: Harvey vs Correa alert.

1:17
Domingo Santana: Am I worth over $20 in an NL only league?

1:17
Eno Sarris: That seems like you’re paying for ceiling instead of median.

1:17
Maxamuz: So you’d rather Will Smith than Shawn Tolleson in a SV / HLD / K9 / ERA / WHIP / QS H2H league?

1:17
Eno Sarris: yes.

1:17
BBK: Will stroman’s k% jump in 2016?

1:18
Eno Sarris: I don’t see a reason for it. Last year traded vertical movement for horizontal on most pitches, and vertical movement is good for whiffs.

1:19
davels: Re:sleep. I know the feeling. My first son used to get up all the time at night. One day, I went to work, with this HUGE smile on my face. Everyone asked me w hat was going on… I told them… I got FOUR HOURS of UNINTERUPTED SLEEP last night. They thought I was nuts! (at that point, I probably was!) LOL

1:19
Eno Sarris: crazy, this stuff.

1:19
Monkey: Is there so much non-love for Billy Hamilton that he is actually a bargain going around the 150th player picked?

1:20
Eno Sarris: His floor now looks like defensive replacement. But a rebuilding team should give him all year, and yeah, I’ve seen him drop way too far.

1:20
mike sixel: We used to give the top pick, or more auction money, to the winner of the 2nd half that did not make the playoffs. It helped some. You could always do what the minor leagues do, and people make the playoffs based on first half, or second half, records…..

1:21
Bork: Roberto Osuna wants to be a reliever rather than switch to starting. Has no one shown him the money difference that starters make vs relievers?

1:21
Eno Sarris: The life is so different, the adrenaline. Let the man make his own decisions, I guess.

1:21
Bawer : Baller you’d most wanna have a beer with?

1:21
Eno Sarris: Love too get between Greinke and Konerko, beer or no.

1:21
Art Vandelay: Headed to the new Henhouse tasting room after work today. I just realized it’s literally around the corner from my office.

1:21
Eno Sarris: Say hi to Colin McDonnel!

1:22
kj: Parra or Dom Santana as my third OF?

1:22
Eno Sarris: Parra

1:22
Meowmix: I googled “Peno Buttis” and this individual seems to only exist in your chats. Feel free to comment further.

1:22
Eno Sarris: in our hearts as well.

1:23
rock: what the hell were you thinking trading Carrasco for Gibson and Ozzie Albies?

1:24
Eno Sarris: Wanted a top-ten prospect, gold in this 20-team 28-keeper league, really like Gibson to add more Ks this year, have not been able to get good value trading pitchers for hitting because everyone knows I’m a pitching factory, and I think Carrasco will get injured again soon, if not this year. May not be my finest deal, but I’m trying to rebuild on the fly by only trading away pitching and going and getting my sleepers.

1:24
Cory: Vince Velasquez and Shark for Salazar. Is that enough?

1:25
Eno Sarris: I’ll take Salazar, but some Salazar owner might take the duo if he needed some depth on the staff.

1:25
Christian: Which rookie SS is worth the stash? JP Crawford, Story, Turner, or Arcia? What is the cutoff SS that you would drop?

1:25
Eno Sarris: In redraft? take Story and see what he does at the beginning of the season.

1:25
Bo: Is there any reason to roster Jorge Soler in a 12-team 5×5 mixed league with shallow benches? I know the upside is there, but is he going to grab enough playing time to be worth the spot?

1:26
Eno Sarris: Yeah he’s droppable in those leagues. No playing time right now. But then he’s a rush to get if there’s an OF injury or a trade.

1:26
pirates hurdles: MLBTR interview with Dave Stewart – “Unless you’ve been a champion, you really don’t have any idea what this sport is really about.” Just tossing that out there

1:26
Eno Sarris: I’ll be very interested to see if he’s ever a champion as an executive.

1:26
Terrible Ted: The year is 2017, early march. Eno has rented a remote cabin in the northern wilderness for his chatters. The fridge is stocked with beer from all corners of the globe. Man-children are huddled around spreadsheets laid out over hardwood tables. A fire crackles in the hearth.

1:26
Otis: ENO! TRADE MY LOCAL GREATS FOR ONE BOTTLE OF PLINY! ALSO HOPSLAM IN A CAN IS NOT MY JAM, IN THAT IT LITERALLY IS AS SWEET AS JAM!

1:26
HomebrewJ: Eno, I’m working on a lineup of beers inspired by player names to give me some new brewing ideas this season. So far I have a Justin Smoak’d Porter, a Kyle Schwarzbier and, of course, an Anthony Gose. Any contributions?

1:27
Eno Sarris: damn I’ve forgotten all my player name beer puns.

1:27
Billy Beane: Come work for me Eno. You remind me of a goofier looking Jonah Hill. Let’s make another movie.

1:27
adam: white stout, more examples of cultural re-appropriation.

1:27
Dr Johnny Fever: heads or tails?

1:27
Eno Sarris: now we got all the ludes.

1:27
Dr Johnny Fever: it was heads

1:27
Eno Sarris: oh good. called it.

1:28
E5: The easiest way to get the wife to stop talking about another kid is stop helping out around the house. Then she’ll realize she already have a 3rd kid.

1:28
Eno Sarris: the second kid has been a BEAR and she’s been saying things like stop this or we can’t have another lol.

1:28
Big Joe Montferrant: Puig or Braun? (for 2016)

1:28
Eno Sarris: Puig.

1:28
The Dude: Which Phillies closer are you taking, man?

1:28
Eno Sarris: Hernandez just because a healthy Bailey seems like a Unicorn.

1:28
Mike: Rank: Story, Semien, Desmond, Castro, Andrus

1:29
Eno Sarris: Desmond Semien Castro Andrus Story. Can’t rank Story wih the full year guys yet.

1:29
E5: Swing hard is still a 2 strike approach, right? As long as it’s done with 2 strikes.

1:29
Eno Sarris: It is “an” approach, but traditionally we talk about a two strike approach being: choke up, cover the whole plate, put the ball in play.

1:30
Otis: Do you play Ottoneu? I drafted a rotation last week of Strasburg, Archer, Shields, Taijuan, Severino, Aaron Sanchez, Vince Velasquez and Cashner, i need OF depth who should i move?

1:30
Eno Sarris: Shields got a decent number last night, I’d look to try him first. Sanchez second.

1:30
Stank: If you fart and there’s no one there to smell it, did the fart really happen?

1:30
Eno Sarris: The underwear knows.

1:30
Sean: People seem sure Jesse Hahn GONNA get hurt. What say you?

1:31
Eno Sarris: He usually does. But velocity up, looked good the other day. I’d give him a shot in deeper leagues with a decent number of DL spots.

1:31
Marty: Considering the White Sox recent “windfall” what should they do with that money? Jay Bruce?

1:31
Eno Sarris: In-season acquisition or fifth starter.

1:31
Matt: zScore ranking methods (based on Steamer) seem to love Andrus. I feel, anecdotally, that he is a perennial disappointment. Am I wrong?

1:32
Eno Sarris: he’s just blah. He can be that median value, but offers no ceiling value, plenty of cheaper guys have more ceiling.

1:32
Mike: If Tolleson fails, what probability would you assign to the backups? Kela/Dyson/Other?

1:32
Eno Sarris: Dyson 60% Kela 30% Other 10%

1:32
Saskatunes: My friend just got married in VT and had Sip of Sunshine on draft at the open bar. Also if you were fantasy quasi-competing this year would you take a platoon-y guy like Schebler or roll the dice on a Peter O’Brien type?

1:33
Eno Sarris: Schebler and awesome.

1:33
yankee808: Also, hope you enjoyed Hawaii. Did you get a chance to try any local brews from kona brewing company?

1:33
Eno Sarris: Lemongrass Lager, and some other stuff, but mostly Big Island Brewhaus stuff, which was excellent.

1:33
yankee808: Aloha Eno, where is the best place to find a leauge? i have no baseball friends and am looking to join more..

1:34
Eno Sarris: Tough one. Maybe hit me up on twitter and I RT? Gotta be some forums somewhere.

1:34
Swede: Do you answer all questions in a chat or do you pick your favs?

1:34
Eno Sarris: probably run at 20%, maybe less.

1:34
Maxamuz: Thoughts on Jason Hammel? Yahoo has him 170 IP, 3.74 ERA 1.16 WHIP, 9.07 K9 with 12 QS? Feel good about those projections?

1:34
Eno Sarris: Under on IP for me.

1:34
Gordon Shumway: Karns worth owning in a 12tm H2h with K/9?

1:35
Eno Sarris: On bench until seasons starts, yeah.

1:36
Eno Sarris: Got hall pass to go out tomorrow night. Music. This is a possibility.

1:36
Eno Sarris: Dunno if friends will go for it.

1:37
Dr Johnny Fever: if you want to wing an auction, bid with the guy you think is the best player in the league

1:37
Eno Sarris: Hah, I think I’ve noticed people doing this to me.

1:37
Eno Sarris: Oh, will be at happy hour at Toronado’s tomorrow if you want to hang out a bit.

1:37
CE: Rank these young arms in terms of career prospects: Giolito, Stroman, Iglesias, McCullers, Matz, Glasnow

1:38
Eno Sarris: The Ks are the thing, man: McCullers, Giolito, Iglesias… Stroman, Matz, glasnow.

1:38
ChickenHawk: Eno, would Victor Robles be an excellent choice for minors draft at #5? Most top prospects are gone already last year. Looking for a great sleeper if you have any imput.

1:38
Eno Sarris: yeah that’s good stuff.

1:38
Matt: I think the plural of dungus is dingi.

1:38
Eno Sarris: Like those orange things you ride in a river?

1:39
Ryan : Chicago teams are weird. The White Sox had a huge issue with a 14yr old in the clubhouse. When the Cubs did it, in the movie Rookie of the Year, they made the playoffs.

1:39
Dr Johnny Fever: if you want to get your bat flipped, start a conversation with Gossage about what 0.3 WAR is

1:39
trc: Who is the Bud Light of MLB?

1:41
Eno Sarris: Hmm, everyone loves him but he’s bland? That’s a tough one. In terms of interviews, maybe Posey or Trout, but that seems like a rough thing to drop on them. Who knows, they probably enjoy Bud Light though. Fewer calories.

1:41
Jack: Sell me on Anthony DeSclafani. Can you see him as a top 30-40 SP by the EOS in a standard 5×5?

1:41
Eno Sarris: Top 11 K-BB for the last two months while throwing his curve more than his change. Found his third pitch.

1:41
Gordon Shumway: thats because Walker is better than Joe Ross

1:41
Eno Sarris: And you can get excited when everyone’s throwing ludes around and the music is pumping.

1:41
prodigious ass : Prodigious chat, man

1:42
Bruce: Serious BBall question. Whos a better dribbler. Shaq (today), or Eno (today)

1:42
Eno Sarris: Oh I’d love to figure that out.

1:42
Evan Gattis: Am I a bad enough catcher that it negates my mashing? Am I a good enough masher to justify not playing a position?

1:42
Eno Sarris: Good enough masher to go position less.

1:42
Green: What’s your take on Tanaka getting knocked around, topping out at 86 mph yesterday afternoon?

1:43
Eno Sarris: Yeah he didn’t look good. Wast it cold? It looked a little cold.

1:43
Matt: What do you prefer: daily linesups, or weekly lineups?

1:43
Eno Sarris: Normally daily, much more, because you can platoon and stream pitchers and all that. But since I have 12 leagues, I’m v happy to have some weekly lineups to take the stress out.

1:44
The Ghost of Dayn Perry: deGrom is scary, yeah?

1:44
Eno Sarris: His velocity was okay the game before. Give him another.

1:44
Matt: Do you really have that many questions ahead of me, or are all my questions boring and/or uninteresting?

1:44
Eno Sarris: I think I’m actually more like 10% answered.

1:45
80085: has any umpire in MLB history looked like a penis with a hat on it?

1:46
Scott: Eno, your chats always necessitate a late lunch for me on Thursdays. I delay food to participate in these. The highest praise out there.

1:46
Eno Sarris: I’m starting to get hungry!

1:46
Randy Savage: Man I’m having the hardest time deciding between Anthony Rendon and Odor in an 12 mixed OBP league. How do you prefer?

1:46
Eno Sarris: Rendon OBP much better, Odor health and SB going to be better. Neither a better fit for your team?

1:46
Terrible Ted: Mike Trout building a ship inside a bottle while wearing half frame reading glasses.

1:46
Eno Sarris: No way he could pull it off. Would be glorious.

1:47
adam: im going to tell you what i told my pet shark right before it died, let’s go outside

1:47
mtsw: My sister and her husband are both very athletic. What first name can they give their child to give him the best chances possible of one day becoming a pro ball player?

1:47
Eno Sarris: Whatever their last name is, start the first name with it. Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds.

1:47
Terrible Ted: Did Papelbon invent the duck face?

1:47
Eno Sarris: I call it anus face though.

1:47
Matt: Eno, Eno, bo-bino. Banana fana fo fino. Who’s better between Conley and Manea, Eno!

1:48
Eno Sarris: Manea, sometimes you gotta listen to the herd, and he has many strikeouts in that arm.

1:48
Mike: Where can I find Zimmerman’s spring break pitcher velocity spreadsheet you mention?

1:48
Eno Sarris: his twitter feed.

1:48
BBK: Pairing Semien/Miller @ short = sexy time?

1:48
Eno Sarris: See that’s perfect.

1:48
Funky diabetic: Can i kick it? JT, Vogt, or Wellington?

1:48
Eno Sarris: YES YOU CAN. Vogt.

1:50
Eno Sarris: RIP PHIFE. (“what you doing with those pads, man”)

1:50
Ampersand: Beer advice needed! Cascade is making their DC debut tonight. Is it worth going out of my way to hit the event? Which beer(s) should I definitely try if I go?

1:51
Eno Sarris: Yes. Sang Noir. It’s basically Russian River Consecration. Blackcap also good.

1:51
Shawn: How much of a skill is brewing? Do you think most head brewers can look at what the Northeast is doing and copy it pretty comparatively? Or are the Northeast brewers just supremely talented at what they do and not anyone can pull it off?

1:51
Eno Sarris: Think chef. Tastebuds are big. tons of chefs can fake the new styles, but who really pulls it off?

1:52
Snahb: What’s the ideal exit velocity of a 45deg DIPA and at what rate of acceleration should the angle of pour be to achieve maximum head/beer ratio, assuming I start the pour at a 70deg angle?

1:52
Eno Sarris: I start super slow, but if it’s not getting head, I ramp it up and do a hard pour near the end. Have gotten pretty good at it.

1:52
Shawn: Would you dance, if I asked you to dance?

1:52
Eno Sarris: Yes.

1:52
Funky diabetic: In 20 years, who will be the next goose gossage?

1:53
Eno Sarris: Brian McCann.

1:53
Hank the dog: Who should start in CF for the brewers opening day?

1:53
Eno Sarris: keon.

1:53
Snarfle: So is there any connection between Huey Lewis the founder of the Black Panthers and Huey Lewis and the News? I always assumed the latter was named after the former, but after reacquainting myself with HL&N I’m not so sure.

1:53
Eno Sarris: LOL. no connection I don’t think.

1:53
Johnny5Alive: Is the auction calculator have an issue with pitchers? Seems like every time I enter my league info, the top 30 pitchers are worth money and then everything else is like $1 or negative. 13 teams, 9 pitchers each team. thats 117 pitchers, and the calculator tell me that basically 60% of the pitchers in the league are worth less than zero. Example, NL only league, it says that Joe Ross is only wrth $1

1:54
Eno Sarris: I’m guessing you either have K9 or K/BB in there. In which case, you could easily make the case that half the starters are useless and you should be ramping up the relievers. If you want to depress it a bit, I think the experimental check box is your friend.

1:54
Gurdy: You like it, the Beltre? This year?

1:54
Eno Sarris: you like eh the juice? (that’s an SNL reference, not a PED thing.) I like him some, but I think he’ll be hurt again.

1:55
Eno Sarris: I’m chatting at this point because I don’t want to write my positional power ranking piece.

1:55
Snarfle: Slip sliding away…slip sliding awwaaaay…you know the nearer your destination, the more you become determined to undermine the military industrial complex with the tingling feeling in your noooose haaaaairs.

1:55
Elisa Plum: Conley another 2ks (both swinging) in 1ip so far. Velocity still up there

1:55
Eno Sarris: Yasssss

1:55
Phil: Are you still excited for Raisel Iglesias? The bandwagon got a bit crowded, but just making sure Eno is still on board!

1:56
Eno Sarris: I am, but I’m only paying the price to get him in K9 leagues at this point. He’s getting expensive.

1:56
Matt: I know how Kike Hernandez’s name is pronounced, but don’t you think that is a less than desirable nickname, you know…with it’s homonym and all?

1:56
Eno Sarris: gotta get that accent in there.

1:56
Snarfle: “That seems like you’re paying for ceiling instead of median.” You sound like my contractor! Just kidding, he’s like “pay for ceiling AND median,” and I’m all “I’ve already got one and I don’t know what I’d do with the other!”

1:56
Sleepmaster Flex: I’ve been sleeping 10 hours steadily for a month and I just deadlifted a mountain.

1:57
Eno Sarris: y’all make me laugh.

1:57
brittle: I found there is about a 5 year window where a lot of Dad’s aren’t very competitive in Fantasy. diapers, overwhelmed wives etc…

1:57
Eno Sarris: Doing my best to juggle it all.

1:57
Jerry: Mic check…is this thing on? I wonder what your top five picks in a 5-year standard roto keeper league would be?

1:58
Eno Sarris: Same as ever, except maybe I creep Correa up in there. Trout Harper Rizzo Goldy Correa?

1:58
Scott: I’m a Braves fan and not used to my team being so uninteresting. I have so much more understanding and respect for longtime fans of the Pirates, Royals, Rays, etc. I don’t know how you powered through having such uninspiring teams for years.

1:58
Eno Sarris: Get super interested in prospects!

1:59
The Ghost of Dayn Perry: Thanks for the mid-beer run recommendation of La Cumbre. Both Elevation and Taste of Hefen have been great

1:59
Eno Sarris: YASS Will have my other tonight.

1:59
The Ghost of Dayn Perry: Just saw Kakie Bryan on the Salt River backfields. I know you love you some Austin Meadows booty, but Kakie has some phenomenal calves

1:59
Eric: Why do you think Carrasco is going to get injured? What type of injury?

2:00
Eno Sarris: Been injured before, throws really hard, not great command, decent amount of breakers.

2:00
Rated Rookie: Brad Miller Lite

2:00
beer pun: Mike Stout

2:00
Repairman Man: re beer: Kolten 45

2:00
Terrible Ted: Do you believe the game of Snakes and Ladders leads to a disproportionate fear of snakes and an inexplicable trust for ladders?

2:00
Snarfle: I don’t mean the Arizona Diamondbacks, I mean that the snake is a fascinating animal. Even calling it an animal feels weird.

2:00
Scott: YOUR WIFE HAD A BABY BEAR???!?

2:01
SOLD OUT: Solds + K/9 league – drop one: Nate Jones, Knebel, Strickland, Colome.

2:01
Eno Sarris: Knebel a bit far down the ladder, no?

2:01
Scott: I disagree with Gossage’s take. I think baseball would be great if the players were a bunch of highly mobile, 6’5”, 245lb dancing machines.

2:01
Eno Sarris: F yeah.

2:01
thomas: /r/findaleague

2:01
Joe: Rotoworld forums are the place to find fantasy leagues

2:02
Otis: TYLER WHITE INSIDE THE PARK HOME RUN OFF HARVEY! FIRST ROUND PICK?

2:02
Eno Sarris: LOL Yoenis just looked down at the ball under the wall and threw his hands up like, I don’t care, it’s spring.

2:02
Alex: I had a Scotch ale for the first time Tuesday. It was horrible. Just sayin’

2:02
Eno Sarris: Not my favorite style.

2:03
Eno Sarris: oh crap I better go write.

2:03
Eno Sarris: See you later!
