That's a big switch mid-season

As the person who wrote about Nicky Lopez's baserunning last year, I'd like you to take a look at the baserunning leaderboards.

I love that he's perfect on steals this year

I'm actually writing about steals as we speak

3:44

Or well, that's not true

I'm writing about steals for tomorrow

As we speak, I'm procrastinating via chat

Of the 10 guys you and Kevin had listed as “team-controlled but value is down”—Alonso, Castillo, Chapman, DeJong, Lux, Luzardo, Moncada, Paddack, Snell, Torres—who do you see as most and least likely to recover at least a good bit of their former value?

Ben Clemens

Lux/Castillo (he might already be on the way)/Moncada most likely

With Pete close behind

3:45

Least likely? Paddack and DeJong. Not that DeJong is worthless or anything, but I think he's a finished product, and I think Craig was too high on him on last year's list

Sorry Craig!

Go Cards, etc

3:46

And then Paddack, I mean, he needs another pitch

The Dodgers seem like a sure bet to make the playoffs, but the division title is in serious jeopardy. How much pressure do you think they feel to make a move to win the division and avoid a WC playoff?

Ben Clemens

3:46

A lot, and I think that's a reasonable feeling

Alright, on this note, I'm out of here. Gotta get back to writing so that I have a clear queue before the inevitable wave of trades

Also, probably eat some lunch

3:47

Thanks for hanging out and chatting today, and sorry if I didn't get to your questions; there were a ton of them today, and I went as fast as I could. Have a great day, everyone!
