Speaking of 'what if' players, Koji as a reliever in MLB his whole career could have been a HoF case. He's been stupid stupid stupid good all at an advanced age.

Koji's splitter to Mo's cutter.

Bert Campaneris

Can Odor sustain his early success?

Craig Edwards

9:53

the 928 wRC+ might come down a bit, but he did hit 33 homers last season. I might be slightly worried that k rate goes up a little bit more. With his poor walk rate he is reliant on that power and BABIP and high k's make him more reliant on BABIP. He was still only a little bit above average after adjusting for park last year.

3-0 greenlight for Correa with no outs and a runner on third. Sac fly. 3-0 Astros.

So strange not to see Tal's Hill.

S. Carter

Paul, can you win a fantasy league without an ace? Basically, no top 25 sps.

Paul Sporer

9:55

Depends on # of teams and format, tbh

Encarnacion goes deep for Indians!

Craig Edwards

9:55

Andrew Miller is pitching in a non-playoff Andrew Miller role.

Paul Sporer

9:55

A nice welcome to the team!

MCL

9:55

does everyone that leaves the yankees immediately grow a beard? just because they can?

Craig Edwards

9:56

maybe they just realize that beards are great.

Bernie

9:56

Jesus Andrew Miller's numbers cannot be real

Craig Edwards

9:56

you said it man

Minty

9:57

Just finished the bold predictions Paul. Delino or Jankowski for my last OF? OBP league

Paul Sporer

9:57

Delino, obv!

Car Seat Headrest is this guy

9:57

Paul Sporer

9:57

oh, ok

B.Ryce Hammer Time

You guys answering any fake baseball questions tonight? Like, say I'm on the high side of Jake Lamb but also like young Joc... Given their supposedly increased playing time against lefties, who gets my last lineup spot? (points league, k's count)

Aspergillus

9:57

Why do sac flies count negatively towards OBP but not BA?

Paul Sporer

9:58

Boy, that's tough. That's a pair of players I'm very high on for '17. I'll lean Joc slightly.

Craig Edwards

9:58

another reason that OBP is better at measuring player skill than BA

Tom

9:58

carseat headrest is great, definitely a compliment

Paul Sporer

9:58

Awesome, thanks!

Yankee Fan

9:58

We miss you Andrew :(

Shirtless George Brett

Its still kind of crazy that the yankees had miller, betances and chapman.

Craig Edwards

9:59

and they still have 2 of 3

S. Carter

9:59

Eric, Seth Beer is the best prospect in college right now, right?

Eric A Longenhagen

9:59

Best bat, maybe. There are scouts who worry it's DH-only though. If he goes to the Cape this summer and rakes with wood, he's probably the odds on favorite for 1-1 heading into the fall. But there's still a long time between now and June 2018, and what if someone with a much better defensive profile, like Nick Madrigal, starts hitting for power all of a sudden?

Craig Edwards

10:00

told you odor's wRC+ would go down.

Eric A Longenhagen

10:00

And part of it is there's just not much in the way of college bats right now.

Yoshimitsu

10:00

Just won a dollar off my dad betting that Napoli would strikeout, easy money.

Craig Edwards

10:00

shame
