which is unremarkable

Prong

Speaking of people who can't play defense, I predict that this is finally the year that people realize Luis Arraez is nothing but an empty batting average. He's toast

Ben Clemens

3:32

maybe this'll be the year where he swings around from overrated to undrrated

he's not a bad player. He just happens to be a solid player in a way that makes people think he's a great player

3:33

if people switch around to thinking he's toast, that would be a funny reversal to me

Dave

3:33

Will the Marlins be willing to trade Sandy to the Mets?

Ben Clemens

3:33

I think so

Alright, two minute lightning round and then it's lunchtime

Dickneck

3:33

What's was for lunch?

Ben Clemens

3:33

Chinese leftovers

dads

3:33

Mlodzinki, Harrington, Dobbins ROS?

Ben Clemens

Carmen

Mr. Fister

3:33

Is one White Sox player called a White Sox or a White Sock

Ben Clemens

3:34

I try to avoid using it just to be safe

Profargate

3:34

After Profar, do you think mediocre players that randomly break out when they’re old will find an even harder time getting big contracts?

Ben Clemens

3:34

Yes

Brendan Donovan

3:34

How much of a trade haul will I bring back at the deadline?

Ben Clemens

3:34

I think you're unlikely to be dealt b/c your presence makes team-building much easier in the future

but if dealt, plenty!

I think Fedde and Gray are far more likely trade candidates

Bubbles

3:34

Thoughts on Liberatore? Results aren't good ER wise, but approach looks much better and command seems improved.

Ben Clemens

3:34

Too soon to say

Kasbo

3:34

Who do like best from an upside standpoint ....Bido, Roupp, Birdsong, or D. Festa?

Ben Clemens

3:35

Birdsong for me. I'm not sure whether this is logical or whether i give him a slight edge b/c of the name but... here we are

Creepy Kid

3:35

I like turtles!

Ben Clemens

3:35

I would absolutely love to know what this was in reference to

Nate

3:35

Is Hunter Goodman...good? Or think he'll just be a flash in the pan that can't hit his weight?

Ben Clemens

3:35

Leaning the second but without a ton of confidence

Dave

3:35

Mets game time was moved up due to the cold. That's a first for me

Ben Clemens

3:35

snow baseball in DET, what a time to be alive

Kyle

3:35

Do you see the Orioles bringing in any notables at pitching at the deadline

Ben Clemens

3:36

yes, too soon to guess who though

Alright, t hanks again for chatting with me today, everyone

May your enemies negotiate favorable trade deals with you and your injuries be minor and nagging rather than catastrophic, until next Monday at least
