Who's accepting the QO?

Ben Clemens

2:57

I have: Thor, Conforto, Verlander, Belt

The only lock, in my eyes, is Thor, though

Dennis

2:57

Only 2 non-closers made top 50? In today's landscape, where do you see the value in established and consistent middle RPs? Boxberger, Kelly, Chafin, etc.

Ben Clemens

2:58

I think they're really nice pieces and I'd love to have them

If you can get guys in the mid-seven-figure range, it seems liek a bargain

Loup, Graveman... I put a big number on Collin McHugh, but the crowd thinks he's getting 1/5

There would be a lot of relievers in the 51-75 range, too

Just some guy

2:59

Clank Legacy is great. Descent Legends in the Dark is great. The 7th Continent is great. Lots of great games out there.

Ben Clemens

2:59

Oh man, I love Clank Legacy and Clank in general

I haven't played Descent, and never really got into 7th Continent, though I have been meaning to give it another try

The mechanics just felt better suited for a computer game to me

Sad Dbacks fan

2:59

With a large hole at 3B and a way too lefty lineup for the snakes who do you see them pursuing

Ben Clemens

2:59

Kyle Seager? I just don't think they're going to spend real money

3:00

I think they feel burned by the false promise of their core in 2019 and are gonna try rebuilding a little harder before going for it again

Brose Canseco

3:00

Matt Chapman likely landing spots if traded - Nats?

Ben Clemens

3:00

I was thinking about this for the AMA earlier, and I really couldn't find an obvious landing place

3:01

The Nats have no prospects to trade

The Mets don't really either

Would the Brewers or Jays be interested? He'd be at least a sideways Semien replacement for Toronto if they pursue Ray over Semien

Jason Stack

3:01

How would the free agent market for hitters and pitchers be affected if in the new CBA the rules were changed so that instead of three outs per inning there were four?

Ben Clemens

3:01

You'd need many more pitchers

3:02

Also, you'd want relievers who can get you more than three outs, for obvious reasons :)

John S.

3:02

Of the shortstops on the market, can any reasonably play centerfield?

Ben Clemens

3:02

Hmmmmm

The fastest two are Story and Baez

3:03

So like, no, but not a hard no

Everyone else? Hard no

Biscuits

3:03

The Nationals have two young infielders that haven't fully grasped a starting role (Kieboom and Luis Garcia) and Alcides Escobar set to play next to Josh Bell. What the heck should they do?

Ben Clemens

3:03

I've thought a decent amount about the Nats, because my mom and a ton of my friends are Nats fans

3:04

I think that they can treat 2022 as a building to 2023 year by signing some pitchers they like, a few interesting hitters, and basically trying to fill every position with a)interesting youth or b)players who could be on a championship team in 2023

Give Kieboom another shot, give Garcia 2b, and good god don't play Esky anymore

Kosch

3:04

How do you entertain Jason's stupid question about fundamentally changing baseball by altering the number of outs in an inning and not answer my great question about that thing?

Ben Clemens

3:04

It's because of my great dislike for Eduardo Rodriguez

I left him off the top 50 list, and I'm leaving your question out too

Bobby

3:05

I've heard all the homecoming rumors about Story/Kershaw, will the Rangers attempt to sign these two or anybody else?

Dave

3:06

Javy in CF sounds like a big old waste of his SS talent

Ben Clemens

3:06

Okay sorry, thought I'd replied to Bobby's comment already

So let's hit these in order

3:07

I thikn the Rangers will be in on a lot of people, they have the payroll room and an interesting roster, though they're still a few years away I think
