Eno Sarris Baseball Chat — 5/9/13

8:46	Eno Sarris: 15 minutes!

9:00	Eno Sarris: lyrics of the day are FRESH (at least for this old man) Out of control but you’re playing a role Do you think you can go til the 18th hole Or will you flip-flop the day of the championship? Try to go it alone on your own for a bit

9:00	Comment From person hscer Am I in the right place? This is where we talk about baseball and other things, right?

9:00	Eno Sarris: Sure. Or whatever.

9:01	Comment From Steve What does a full season of Prime Anthony Rizzo look like?

9:01	Eno Sarris: I’d hate to get all gushy about him, but I think he could have more than one .290+/40+ season on his ledger.

9:01	Comment From Matt Adams I destreoy the minors and have a huge start to the season yet I still don’t get much love. What’s my ceiling??

9:02	Eno Sarris: Maybe .280-.290 with 20-25 HRs? Maybe a little more power than Craig? Problem is, you’re a first baseman and a first baseman alone.

9:02	Comment From Eric My “stacked” rotation of Strasburg/Gio/Greinke/Morrow/Samardzija currently has one pitcher inside the top 50 on ESPN’s player rater. Any ideas on how to fix this disappointing bunch? Or do I just need more patience?

9:02	Eno Sarris: You should be fine. I don’t really believe in Morrow, but I like the rest. perhaps you could package Morrow with something else for an upgrade.

9:02	Comment From AJT Any cause for concern with Jay Bruce?

9:03	Eno Sarris: I believe in him. Tons of line drives, he’s just swinging too much. I think .250 with 25-30 hrs is still in the cards, and that’s about all you could expect anyway.

9:03	Comment From Django I have Neil Walker on the DL so I dropped Andrew Bailey to pick up Yuni (it hurt my soul to do it). Should I make the opposite move when Bailey is about to come back and just rely on Walker to come back healthy?

9:03	Eno Sarris: Yes I think so. Walker will be back soon and who wants Yuni anyway.

9:03	Comment From Milhouse Duda or Jay Bruce ROS in OBP league?

9:03	Eno Sarris: Still Bruce.

9:03	Comment From Steve It’s dump trade week in my league, I need AL steals, would you give up 3 years of Capps or Rondon for Dyson? Same settings as tout with inflation, Capps 4, Rondon 7, Dyson 17.

9:03	Eno Sarris: Sure. They are relievers and they’re already getting expensive.

9:03	Comment From LudeBurger Jose Fernandez is awesome right?

9:04	Eno Sarris: Dude. I think so. But I just got a trade offer rejected where someone said “I see no difference between Jose Fernandez and Edinson Volquez.” BLEW MY MOTHER F’IN MIND.

9:04	Comment From Unchained Drop Avila for Doumit in roto?

9:04	Eno Sarris: eh. Doumit’s losing that precious playing time to the young guys. I wouldn’t.

9:05	Comment From Goat Hey Eno! Sure I’m not the only one to say that the new section of site rules, unfortunately it may mean I’m out of a job by June… On the day Brett Anderson comes off the DL, would you rather have him, or Milone for the RoS?

9:05	Eno Sarris: Anderson. Just believe in his stuff more. Milone’s fastball is down to 87!

9:05	Comment From Tacoby Bellsbury I am presently trying to sell David Price for 90 cents on the dollar. Is that what I should be doing? Who are some worthwhile, high-K SP targets? Or am I panicking prematurely?

9:05	Eno Sarris: I’d hold on to price in redraft leagues. Even in keepers, I’d want a nice run out of him before I trade him.

9:05	Comment From Rubby of the Rose First time my boss has been in my office during your chat, Eno. Sadly, this means I’ll miss most of it when he takes us out to lunch and gets us drunk off of wine. 🙁

9:06	Eno Sarris: It was fun while we had you.

9:06	Comment From Bud Selig What would be my best course of action, if any re: the Angel Hernandez blown call?

9:06	Eno Sarris: Talk to Rubby.

9:06	Comment From Gila Monster Where do you put Matt Harvey’s value RoS? Top 10 SP? Top 15? In a QS league?

9:06	Eno Sarris: Definitely in the top 15, and higher in QS since the Mets do all they can to blow his wins. I think top ten. Hard to put him ahead of Felix htough.

9:06	Comment From Unchained Kindly rank these OF: S. Marte, Jennings, Gardner

9:07	Eno Sarris: You got it. Looks like Marte will manage a higher BABIP than Jennings.

9:07	Comment From Simon Freese or Middlebrooks?

9:07	Eno Sarris: I’ll take Freese. Middlebrooks’ 30% strikeout rate just scares the crap out of me.

9:07	Eno Sarris: LITERALLY.

9:07	Comment From Trey What are you planning to ask of Braves players today?

9:08	Eno Sarris: Need to do more research. But! I have one question planned at least. I’ll ask Andrelton Simmons how he got so shudders with the glove.

9:08	Eno Sarris: I mean, we don’t have to take interludes, if we just want to plow right on through.

9:08	Comment From Guest Kyle Kendrick gonna remain this usable all season?

9:08	Eno Sarris: No.

9:08	Comment From Tacoby Bellsbury Drop Angel Hernandez?

9:08	Eno Sarris: On his noggin.

9:08	Comment From Maxamuz Diane Young. What do I win?

9:08	Eno Sarris: Your question answered.

9:09	Comment From Travis Andrelton Simmons = Ozzie Smith with a better bat.

9:09	Eno Sarris: He’s amazeballs I think is the term.

9:09	Comment From Tacoby Bellsbury LIGHTNING ROUND

9:09	Comment From JEB BEEEEEEEEEER! Got two bottles of Founders Doom last week. Delicious to say the least.

9:09	Comment From jwise224 Oh man, Eno, oh man…

9:09	Eno Sarris: interluded

9:09	Comment From jon Eno – Is Freeman too much to give for Kimbrel? OPS counts, as does K/9 and IP. Would replace Freeman with Swisher

9:10	Eno Sarris: Actually I think Freeman doesn’t have much upside. He’s meh. Kimbrel is tops at his position and would goose your K/9.

9:10	Comment From person hscer And speaking of The Game pitchers: I believe in you RA Dickey (at TB for $5)! I believe in you!

9:10	Eno Sarris: Can’t wait for the Jays to come to SF/OAK.

9:10	Comment From Unchained Top of the morning to you. Dan Espinosa droppable for Dee Gordon in OPS league?

9:11

Eno Sarris: Feel like Espinosa’s RoS OPS upside isn’t much better than 700 at this point. If Dee can walk 10%, then he might be able to manage .350/.350 and get there too, with way more steals. or he loses his every day job quickly. Point is, a .700 OPS can’t be that special if Dee Gordon can get there.

9:11	Comment From wes Is Glen Perkins a good enough RP to receive straight up for Cobb? K/9 counts

9:12	Eno Sarris: Trading for relievers is tough and I normally say just don’t bother. So this is about what the market does if not what market value should be.

9:12	Comment From tiburon In a 10-team mixed keeper league ($300 budget, 30 roster slots), would it represent fair value to trade Tim Lincecum at $8 for B.J. Upton at $10?

9:12	Eno Sarris: Sure. I don’t hold out much hope for Timmeh any more.

9:12	Comment From John Marte and Buxton for Gio Gonzalez, dynasty league…. your thoughts, go!

9:13	Eno Sarris: I don’t actually love Buxton types myself. All tools, lots of questions, decent bust rate imo. Marte is already here though, and he’s a position player… maybe try to get a flier SP prospect thrown in.

9:13	Comment From Fitz Have Jason Grilli, and obviously very satisfied with his performance thus far. Should I sell high on him? High lob%, low babip despite a high ld% and hasn’t given up a HR yet. Thanks.

9:13	Eno Sarris: No I like him. Kept his old man velocity gains somehow.

9:13	Comment From 3B Wasteland Lawrie or Moustakas? 6×6, OPS and AVG

9:13	Eno Sarris: Moose doesn’t walk much and Lawrie steals. I’ll take Lawrie.

9:13	Comment From palo alto In a 10-team mixed keeper league ($300 budget, 30 roster slots), would it represent fair value to trade Hisashi Iwakuma at $1 for Josh Hamilton at $28?

9:14	Eno Sarris: That’s selling pretty low. $28 in that kind of league is — what — $25 or less in a $260. (MATHS) Even with a bad BA, Hamilton might recoup that value. Then again, I believe in Iwakuma to produce extra value on top of that $1… So it’s not bad.

9:15	Comment From Pop Coghlan’s Law- Beer is for breakfast…drink or be gone.

9:15	Comment From Maxamuz Duddda doobie doooo

9:15	Comment From scb What are your favorite 2-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes?

9:15	Eno Sarris: Munch on THAT.

9:15	Comment From Jon Thoughts on Arcia? Is he a potential keeper in the OF?

9:16	Eno Sarris: A little worried about his plate discipline. Might only be a .260/.320 true talent guy with okay power.

9:16	Comment From person hscer As a Nats fan I don’t know what was more depressing: the Espinosa-Gordon question, or your answer.

9:16	Eno Sarris: Sorry brociferous.

9:16	Comment From Pop Freeman, no upside? You just spoiled my lunch.

9:16	Eno Sarris: I don’t see much more pop in there. I think he’ll keep doing this… which is great while he’s cheap.

9:16	Comment From David Afternoon Eno! So there’s no reason to carry Miguel Montero as a backup catcher in a 10xMixed is there?

9:16	Eno Sarris: Who’s your starter.

9:16	Comment From Hiya My new liquor store: Can you get me a discount?

9:17	Eno Sarris: Presented without comment.

9:17	Eno Sarris: Oh I can’t resist. A wine lover is an ENOphile.

9:17	Comment From Mark Over/under .5 flushes when you wrote LITERALLY?

9:17	Eno Sarris: over.

9:17	Comment From scb I am a Cubs fan who recently moved to Minneapolis. Target Field is very enjoyable. My question: who will make a World Series first, Cubs, Twins, or obviously neither?

9:17	Eno Sarris: Actually like what the Cubs are doing. Theo can run a team.

9:17	Comment From Rubby of the Rose Kolten Wong is never coming up, is he?

9:18	Eno Sarris: The Cards just wait forever on prospects. I think it’s partly to use their peak seasons and then let them go, and partly because they are usually a good team.

9:18	Comment From Trout River Would you trade Pujols and Samardija for Tulo and Haren? Would leave me with LaRoche at 1B.

9:19	Eno Sarris: I actually think I might not. There are already a few missed games in Tulo’s year, and though he might be the best player in the deal when healthy, the jump from Haren to the shark is hefty.

9:19	Eno Sarris: Breaking news. Someone new that Angel Hernandez was a bad ump… in the minor leagues… in 1991… http://t.co/pSKPDt3ryv

9:19	Comment From JEB Thinking about shipping out Gyorko for a 5th round pick and grabbing Didi off of waivers, good idea bad idea?

9:20	Eno Sarris: Is okay. Second sucks, but shortstop is usually the worst position. I like Gyorko’s bat a little more, but Didi has better home park.

9:20	Comment From Guest Completely foolish to consider trading Harvey in a keeper? I assume I ask for a top-top hitter?

9:21	Eno Sarris: If you’re stacked in the rotation and need hitting, wouldn’t be crazy. But I couldn’t do it myself. too much of a homer.

9:21	Comment From Alex What can we expect from Machado as he reaches his prime? A-Rod light? He’s looked really impressive.

9:21	Eno Sarris: Weird thing was that he had all those low BABIPs in the minors. That’s why he was only projected for a .260 or so batting average. But he doesn’t do anything that would make him have a bad BABIP. Looks good to me.

9:21	Comment From Casey How ashamed should I be for being back on the Liriano train?

9:22	Eno Sarris: I have him… in my 18-teamer.

9:22	Comment From Ira What are your thoughts on the large format beers like Brooklyn #1 that are all the rave right now? Too expensive? Impractical? I personally think they’re stupid because you have to finish them in one sitting unlike wine.

9:23	Eno Sarris: You mean like the 750s? the bombers? Here’s why I like them: I don’t want to buy a sixer of a beer I’m unsure about. If I do, and it sucks, what the crap do I do with the other five? With a bomber, I just suck it up and finish the one.

9:23	Comment From CJ ENO!!! Favorite chatter in all of sports, except I don’t drink beer :/. Anyways, was offered CC/Price for Adam Jones/Peavy. Would leave my OF with Trout/Cargo/Bruce and Howard as full time utility. 12 team non keeper h2h. Take it??

9:24

Eno Sarris: Glad to have all kinds. If Peavy stays in one piece I think you lose that trade… Well. Just because AJ will probably outstrip the two pitchers you get. But maybe not by much. You know what? If you need pitching, I think your outfield can take it. Maybe you can drop your worst pitcher for a platoon mate for Howard. (You’ll need one)

9:24	Eno Sarris: A K-BOMB for KIPNIS

9:24	Eno Sarris: (I still like Kipnis, think the elbow is healed now)

9:25	Comment From Doctor Met This craft bar is across the street from my apt and it has a live updating beer menu.. any suggestions? When left hand milk was there I was there until they killed their stash. http://ues.theponybar.com/

9:25	Eno Sarris: Love Love Pony Bar. They have one in the UES now huh. Don’t have time now, but hit me up on twitter. The BeerGraphs account is all about recommendations. Especially for travelers.

9:25	Comment From dude Due to roster implications, I dropped mcClouth. He was picked up, and now I feel as if I should be in regret mode. Should I be?

9:26	Eno Sarris: I think he can provide 2/3s of .280/15/20 production.

9:26	Comment From Guest What are the chances that Bell wins and keeps teh closer roll in ARI?

9:27	Eno Sarris: I don’t like it. I mean, he got some velo back, and his strikeout rate has been good, but I’ve liked Hernandez for so long, and we don’t yet know about how long Putz will be out…

9:27	Comment From Guest Zach McAllister looking good…. does it last?

9:27	Eno Sarris: I don’t believe.

9:27	Comment From JEB Think Tazawa is a reasonable third closer in a 3RP league? I have Perez but I’m trying to unload him before those homers start staying fair…

9:28	Eno Sarris: If he keeps the job, he’s reasonable. But you know what, I’m always looking for a third closer, so I’d do that trade if possible.

9:28	Comment From Joe Dynasty Keeper league. Was offered C. Archer and M. Barnes for Wil Myers. I’m rebuilding. Good deal?

9:28	Eno Sarris: NO, you build around hitting.

9:28	Comment From Pop Lagunitas Censored was called Kronic, based on the smell during brewing. Label was denied, as a joke they sent it back with a black censored label. It was accepted.

9:28	Eno Sarris: Nice.

9:29	Comment From RJ is Yonder’s power for real? 2 HR off LHP already makes me feel fuzzy inside…

9:29	Eno Sarris: Oppo power is fairly anti-platoon, so I’m getting happy about him too. Still don’t think he has top-five upside or anything, but top-twelve for sure now.

9:29	Comment From dude What percentage of FAAB are you using on Bell? I have Hernandez, and therefore, can basically lock up Arizona saves. I guess some of this depends when putz comes back, but I would like your thoughts on the matter.

9:30	Eno Sarris: In your case I think you can push it over 10%.

9:30	Comment From Jon The new projected standings Fangraphs unveiled today are great! http://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=Standings NL is good this year. According to those projections, A’s get second WC in AL with 83 wins while Pirates/Dbacks miss out in NL with 84.

9:30	Comment From CJ My desk friend. Sorry, sent the pic of Tim with a duplicate question earlier, so I'll ask another. Salvador or VMart rest of year? Losing patience with Perez.

9:31	Eno Sarris: sorta can’t concentrate on your question. Sal or VMart? Similar actually, but I don’t like Perez’ new K%. I’ll take Vmart.

9:31	Comment From John Stamos Thank you for teaching me how to do the 2-for-1 trade! Traded Torii Hunter and Ryu for James Shields. I also learned how deep OF can be in a 3 OF league.

9:31	Eno Sarris: TEACH ME HOW TO TWOFORONE

9:31	Comment From Maxamuz Eno, Eno, Eno. Do you collect Beer Taps? If so, I may be able to hook you up. On another note, I have Rollins and Asdrubal and was offered Melky for my Asdrubal. Do I make this move?

9:32	Eno Sarris: I don’t collect much of anything any more. Domiciles get crowded, man. would love some extra wide high-quality pics of taps though, for BeerGraphs. I don’t like Melky. I don’t mind trading an SS, but not for Melky.

9:32	Comment From Ira Yeah but the 750s go for the same price as a lot of good sixers.

9:33	Eno Sarris: hey if the sixer is good and I know it, sure. Just bought a Red Chair sixer for $7.99 and patted myself on the back.

9:33	Comment From dude Dear Eno, you are the best chatter in all of sports/fantasy, but you are ridiculously slow. Love, Everyone.

9:33	Eno Sarris: Really? Have gotten the opposite comment. If you mean that I don’t get to your questions quickly… boy you should see my queue.

9:33	Comment From Tacoby Bellsbury Hector Santiago … buy or sell in deep leagues?

9:34	Eno Sarris: I like him. Dunno if I’d buy, but I’d hold for sure. Lots of pitches, some velocity. HES GOT A SCREWBALL. Okay, buy.

9:34	Comment From BS Rather have Bell, Gregg, or Tazawa for saves?

9:34	Eno Sarris: Bell I guess. I think Fuji will take Gregg’s job, and Bailey will close when he’s back.

9:34	Comment From Jon If David Hernandez doesn’t see some save opps soon with Putz out, is he still worth rostering?

9:34	Eno Sarris: No

9:34	Comment From Aaron Any advice for constructing a lineup on Daily Fantasy sites like Draft Kings?

9:35	Eno Sarris: Find a cheap pitcher in a good situation first. Then do the rest of the lineup.

9:35	Eno Sarris: Also: we should be launching a daily fantasy column here shortly.

9:35	Comment From Matt Adams But won’t I be the Cardinals DH when the NL finally uses the DH? Could happen very soon, no?

9:35	Eno Sarris: Sure. Could give him a few PAs.

9:35	Comment From First Time Poster Buck or Ellis as my C2 until Grandal returns. M. Montero will right the ship soon, right?

9:36	Eno Sarris: Ellis in OBP, Buck in BA. I still like Montero.

9:36	Comment From Jon What to do about Zimmerman and Lawrie? They (along with BJ Upton) are killing my average. I thought I was set at 3B/CI but it’s been a black hole.

9:36	Eno Sarris: Lawrie might hurt your BA all year.

9:36	Comment From Hiya Just looked up career BABIPs. Tom McCreery (of the Superbas) with a .390, Ty Cobb .378. That is silly.

9:36	Eno Sarris: BABIP was different in their time.

9:36	Comment From First Time Poster Tommy Milone has a 43/6 K/BB ratio in 46 innings… should I be in love with him in a dynasty or is he still a back end guy?

9:36	Eno Sarris: Still think he’s a back end guy. 87 mph fastballs turn into homers. He’ll be a half-time pitcher for too much of his career.

9:37	Comment From Johnny Rockets Is it time to just move on from Ernesto, with long term value in mind?

9:37	Eno Sarris: Frieri? Still too many strikeouts to move on.

9:37	Comment From Tacoby Bellsbury There’s gold in them there hills!!!!!

9:37	Comment From BS Ozzie with the flips on the baseball field. What other occupation would benefit from flips at the workplace?

9:37	Comment From JT Given your Halladay article, I’m scrolling up to see depressing lyrics of the day, right?

9:37	Eno Sarris: “Diane Young” interlude

9:37	Comment From Kyle what do you expect from Josh Donaldson for the rest of the season

9:38	Eno Sarris: .260-.280 with 20+ hr power?

9:38	Comment From Vince Is Starling Marte a hold, or would you trade him for a top 15 SP at this point?

9:39	Eno Sarris: The BABIP will return to earth. I think he’s a true talent .280 15/30 guy. That’s probably worth a bit less than a top 15 SP. (I tried to sell Marte and didn’t get even close to that in an offer — Dempster and Melky was the best I got)

9:39	Comment From Swinger Have you seen the new Victory Saison Swinger? Had it the past couple days, its refreashing. Can’t wait to drink it in the sun. If summer ever comes to NYC…

9:39	Eno Sarris: PRO TIP: Saisons for the summer. Both start with S!

9:39	Comment From Eric Hey Eno. Love the chat. Thoughts on getting props from the Fantasy Focus yesterday?

9:40	Eno Sarris: It was thorough and impressive. Very kind of them.

9:40	Comment From scb Pretty sure it’s oenophile.

9:40	Eno Sarris: Eh, I choose to ignore the o.

9:40	Comment From BS I keep Ike Davis in my starting line-up for laughs.

9:40	Comment From Mark Interleague play is killing my Travis Hafner buzz. He should be hitting balls to Boulder but he can’t even play 1B.

9:40	Comment From dude Eno, you can’t avoid it forever. You are going to have to address the situations with putz and hanrahan. I recommend doing so right after you post this.

9:40	Eno Sarris: Interesting.

9:40	Comment From Swinger When should I stop being patient with Billy Butler?

9:41	Eno Sarris: Hey. at least another month.

9:41	Comment From Tony L Will Shelby Miller be shutdown early? Sell high now?

9:42	Eno Sarris: Jose Fernandez will be shut down early. Shelby I think can manage 170-175, and might be so excellent it’s just worth holding on to him and enjoying him.

9:42	Comment From JT How did I do in my single-week of rebuilding in our dynasty? (Out, Halladay, A-Rod, McCann, Konerko In, Sale, Zimmermann, Cobb, Chris Carter)

9:42	Eno Sarris: You did well. Dangit, this is in our league isn’t it.

9:42	Comment From Doug In a Dynasty league would you be willing to give up Taveras and Ryu for E. Encarncion?

9:42	Eno Sarris: Ooh that seems hefty for a first baseman.

9:42	Comment From Metsox What chance does Erasmo Ramirez have of being fantasy relevant in a deep qs league this year?

9:42	Eno Sarris: I’m still holding out some hope. He has to be next in line.

9:43	Comment From Harjit but question, what is Mike Napoli’s real worth in a 10 team h2h? I’ve got Mauer and him (C, 2IF, 1B) and Fielder AND Berkman and on and on, so I figured trying to move one of the C is a good idea.

9:43	Eno Sarris: You gotta move Napoli now. I think he’s more of a risk than Mauer even. What’s his value? Right now, he’s a top four catcher with those home runs and the extra PAs at 1B. should be nice.

9:43	Comment From JoeyBelle Why do you have so much gas during the FG meetings? Do your burnps get recorded into the minutes?

9:44	Eno Sarris: WAIT HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS

9:44	Eno Sarris: we’ve got a spy

9:44	Comment From Dallas Sell high on Beltran? Been a pleasant surprise but I’m worried about health and missing my window.

9:44	Eno Sarris: Yeah, especially in keepers, those knees aren’t going to hold up forever.

9:44	Comment From juan pierres mustache jeff sullivan is spilling your secrets

9:44	Eno Sarris: shoulda known it was sullivan all along

9:45	Comment From JT Dave Cameron answered a question about your gas this week, too.

9:45	Eno Sarris: listen. I have gastro-intestinal issues. I’ve learned to put the mute on.

9:45	Comment From Seven Segura or Simmons?

9:45	Eno Sarris: IRL, Simmons. In fantasy, I think Segura’s SB speed will trump Simmons’ ‘decent’ power.

9:45	Comment From Guest Would you trade Bruce for Tavares in a forever dynasty where ks

9:46	Eno Sarris: where ks matter? If you aren’t in it this year, yes.

9:46	Comment From Hiya Robbie Erlin had a half a cup of coffee out of the bullpen, when he comes up next time, is he a starter?

9:46	Eno Sarris: I hope so. I like him.

9:46	Comment From Guest what’s up with niese? im tempted to drop him for kyle kendrick..

9:48

Eno Sarris: First, I don’t think any of his stuff is superlative. his curve is okay, his cutter is fine, his fastball goes 90. He’s never had an above-average swinging strike rate. But right now he’s not getting strike one, and that’s killing his walk rate. i think he’s a true talent 3.9-4.1 type pitcher, with below-average K%, good BB%, and strong GB%.

9:48	Comment From Jack Oh, by the way, Choo is hitting .398/.514/.739 vs RHP and .167/.327/.214 vs LHP. It’s early, SSS, etc… but wow.

9:48	Eno Sarris: And his defense is turrrrrrrible.

9:48	Comment From Ramon Dynasty: Harvey or Darvish?

9:48	Eno Sarris: I’ll take Harvey’s extra years. And Darvish throws a ton of sliders.

9:49	Comment From Concerned Fan ENO!! Today is my last day at this job. My next one won’t allow me to follow your chats every Thursday!!! What should I do?

9:49	Eno Sarris: Get a better smart phone and check in with us at lunch.

9:49	Comment From dude So rumor has it you burp a lot and Dave said you have some sort of stomach issue. Is beer your medication?

9:50	Eno Sarris: My friend who’s into health trends — the tai-chi / schiatzu rapper dj that made the intro song for the sleeper and the bust — says that ‘fermented foods’ are a must in a diet. So… SURE!

9:50	Comment From brain games You’ve been a Hosmer fan right? Are you excited that he bats 4th? Probably not

9:51	Eno Sarris: I think Hoz can manage a decent batting average, with 20ish homers and a few stolen bases. As long as he doesn’t hit eighth, I don’t see that changing a ton. Might steal more in 4th than 2nd or 3rd.

9:51	Comment From DDSP When will the marlins trade Justin Ruggiano and will anyone want him?

9:51	Eno Sarris: Sure, but it might not be good for his fantasy value.

9:51	Comment From Matt Who do you like most in a dynasty league: B. Anderson, J. Parker, or D. Straily?

9:52	Eno Sarris: Oh man great question. Anderson is often injured, Parker has shown flashes of being the best, love that changeup, and Straily has the worst fastball. I guess I’d take a shot on Anderson actually. Have talked to a few scouts that don’t love Straily.

9:52	Comment From dude ENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

9:52	Eno Sarris: DUUUUUUUUUUUDE

9:52	Comment From Jon Webster and Doubront were both horrible yesterday. Like either as keepers?

9:52	Eno Sarris: Webster is still nasty nasty. I like him. I think his control will get better.

9:52	Comment From Django Eno, what’s with your love for the Red Chair? I’ve had it, thought it was okay but not like you do. Describe your feelings to me!

9:53	Eno Sarris: Eh. I think one thing I like about it is this ah-hah moment: I hate some of Deschute’s other beers, and Red Chair has something in common with them, but has a better mix of sweet and that taste, and so therefore I’m like – hey it CAN work!

9:53	Comment From Shelby Miller Do I need to expidite the development of my changeup or will I be able to make it through the season with just my FB and curve?

9:53	Eno Sarris: I hope that the second and third times he sees teams he starts breaking it out.

9:54	Comment From John Stamos Dogs are forever in the pushup position.

9:54	Eno Sarris: Must be exhausting.

9:54	Comment From Bill Bobby Thoughts on Kenley’s chances of eventually overtaking League? If I’m planning for the playoffs, would you suggest picking him up over some lame duck closers (Frieri, maybe Henderson, Gregg). Thanks.

9:54	Eno Sarris: I still like them. I’d take him over Gregg. Not sure about the other two. Number one rule of prospecting for saves is : who’s closing now.

9:54	Comment From Christopher What’s your feeling about growlers? They’re environmental, but they go flat fast. Only for parties?

9:54	Eno Sarris: yes yes and yes

9:54	Comment From Hiya Best meal to go with IPA: Pupusas. All told.

9:55	Eno Sarris: Tell me something. What DOESNT go well with a pupusa.

9:55	Comment From brain games I have STRASBERG AND SAMARDZIJA

9:55	Eno Sarris: Awesome!

9:55	Comment From David Follow-up for constructing a daily lineup: 1) Yes, start with affordable pitching. 2) Find affordable platoon bats with good match-ups. 3) Fill out the rest of your roster

9:56	Eno Sarris: yes like 2). Basically: scan for cheap players first. You’ll find some good ones in Colorado, or a lefty going against a bad righty, or a pitcher in Petco or whatever, and then you can spend money on the rest of your positions.

9:56	Comment From timmeh Pick 2? Hernandez, Bailey, Tazawa (Bell owned by someone else).

9:56	Eno Sarris: Handcuff Boston.

9:56	Comment From Maxamuz TAKE ME OUT TO THE DUUUUDAAA TAKE ME OUT TO SEE ENOOOOO BUY ME SOME PEANUTS AND DUDAJACKS, I DONT CARE IF I EVER GET BACK!

9:56	Eno Sarris: You’re right. We did need a Dudalude.

9:56	Comment From Joey Belle Has Derek Holland turned a corner? DO you like him more than Milone?

9:57	Eno Sarris: Well he certainly has the fastball. And if he’s got the command in the zone, then yes I like him. But I’ll have to take a better look at him for RG.

9:57	Comment From CJ Tim says, "stop complaining about chat speed, Dude!!" I'd listen, he's rotten!!

9:57	Eno Sarris: unsettling

9:57	Comment From Joey Belle What about Vernon Wells playing 3rd in a 1-run ninth last night?

9:57	Eno Sarris: so weird

9:57	Comment From Guest What’s the deal with Scotty Kaz/Fausto Hernandez? Am I dreaming to rely on them in an AL Only?

9:57	Eno Sarris: Actually I like Fausto.

9:57	Comment From ODawg I’m gathering that you live in NY…does this mean you don’t love west coast hop monsters?

9:58	Eno Sarris: Used to live in NYC until 2010. Now I’m in California. Love the hop monsters — Double Jack, Sculpin, West Coast, Lagunitas Sucks and Dogfish Head 75 minute are my favorites.

9:58	Comment From Guest General thoughts on a $7 Todd Frazier in Otto LWTS?
