Craig Edwards

let's not ruin it.

Beric Shortgenhagen

left my draft with too little healthy pitching, waiver wire is thin--who'll help me most: Marco Gonzales, Andrew Triggs, Chris Stratton, Brandon McCarthy, Matt Shoemaker?

Meg Rowley

3:35

Thank you, Travis. I am off to finish a piece and then head Safeco way. Thanks for chatting everyone. I leave you hands far more capable than mine.

Eric A Longenhagen

3:35

Pick up Lucchesi

Bye, Meg.

Meg Rowley

3:35

Bye, Eric.

It's the Trav-Jaffe!

The much anticipated Trav-Jaffe

picked up holland as an FA after another team dropped him for luke gregorson. lol

Travis Sawchik

3:39

This offseason wasn't weird or anything

Holland officially came off the board before games started. So is it an offseason signing?

Jay Jaffe

3:39

Bye, Meg!

Steve

3:40

So far so good for Jose Martinez, eh? What can we expect from him in a full season? 30hr with a .300 avg reasonable?

Craig Edwards

3:40

How about .280 and 20?

Travis Sawchik

3:40

Anyone else having issues with Spectrum cable refusing to show MLB Extra Innings games in 16:9, HD?

Craig Edwards

3:40

Alright, everybody. Thanks for all the questions. I'm heading out.

Jay Jaffe

3:40

Sorry about that, folks. My MLB TV desktop situation is 0-1 for the season for reasons I don't yet understand. So I'll be watching the New York broadcasts and checking out of town games on my local devices once they recharge.

3:41

Bye, Craig! Hello, Travis!

Eric A Longenhagen

3:41

I'm on HOU/TEX

Jay! Travis! hours ago, while enjoying opening day baseball, i asked Meg and Craig a question that allows us to celebrate our shared humanity on this fine day. they had some great answers. i will pose the same to you two -- what nicknames have you had throughout your life? what has been your favorite? least favorite? thanks...happy opening day!

Travis Sawchik

3:41

Most recently Billy Hamilton essentially called me an idiot ;)

Eric Chavez

3:41

Better Q - how long should I wait for people to forget your discussion of Pache before starting an auction for him in ottoneu?

Eric A Longenhagen

3:41

Oppo dinger for Springer

Travis Sawchik

3:42

Ha. Today would not be the best day

Pache is our sixth-most searched minor leaguer at the moment

Jay Jaffe

3:43

the only nickname I have ever had was mercifully brief, maybe jr. high when a friend started calling me "Snaffe" as in "SNAFU". Thankfully, that went away after I carved his eye out during lunch one day. Nobody has called me Snaffe since. True story.

K-Man

3:43

Eric, are you still high on Max Kepler? Seems like a potential swing change profiteer

Jay Jaffe

3:43

*story may not actually be true

Eric A Longenhagen

3:44

Yes, picked up on it during the Spring and ranked him accordingly

Team FanGraphs

3:44

weird... anyone else getting this on their gameday?

How much of a disappointment will next year's hyped free agency be when Harper and Kershaw both re-sign next year and Machado is the only star Free agent, who goes to the team we all expect him to go to 2 years in advance.

Travis Sawchik

3:44

!!!

3:45

Wasn't Kepler anti- launch angle last year? Quite a pivot
