He'll get an SS job.

Is any team bubbling in the back of your mind as a surprise team (in a good way) for 2018?
Dave Cameron
12:47
I think the A's could actually be kind of interesting next year. Full years from Chapman and Olson, maybe a step forward from some of the young arms.

Who will be the Padres starting SS next season?
Dave Cameron
12:47
Luis Urias.
Nathan E

Given his lack of track record offensively, what do you think Cozart gets?
Dave Cameron
12:48
2/$24M, maybe with some kind of vesting option for a third year.
Scherzer's Blue Eye

Team likely to take a step back next year. Don't say Nats. Don't do it.
Dave Cameron
12:49
Maybe the Brewers? Steamer *hates* their roster, and they won't have Nelson for a good chunk of the year.

I was at a game Roy Halladay pitched at Coors Field some years ago when his Colorado family occupied the two rows immediately in front of mine. Every time he got a two strike count on the batter, a young boy, perhaps seven, stood on his seat and called out as loudly as his squeaky voice allowed, "Strike him out, Uncle Roy!"

Who are some interesting young, cost-controlled SPs that you can see realistically being moved this offseason? Doesn't seem like a ton of guys out there.
Dave Cameron
12:50
Archer probably the big fish, if someone can blow TB away. Maybe Wacha or Salazar if you want to take some injury risk?
Stanton
12:51
What are the odds I actually opt out in 2020? I'll be over 30 by then, and I'm not a model of durability. My contract will still be ~7/210 starting in 2021 anyhow.
Dave Cameron
12:52
7/210 won't look that intimidating after you see what Harper/Machado/Kershaw get.
But it probably depends on health. If you have another knee problem, then the opt-out becomes less likely.

Theo offers Schwarber to Indians for Salazar.  Indians ask for Baez instead.  Theo says ______?
Dave Cameron
12:53
Nah. Too much injury risk.
Little Poison

Who should the Cardinals deal from their outfield surplus?  Are the Marlins going to send them Stanton for a package headlined by two of their top three prospects?  Do they Cardinals want that deal?
Dave Cameron
12:55
My guess is STL wants to do something like Grichuk/Alcantara with MIA picking up a big chunk of the long-term salary.
But that's just a wild guess.

Has anyone else reported that audio from ads keeps popping up when I open a page and sometimes it is hard/impossible to find the ad causing the noise so I can turn it off.  Using Chrome.
Dave Cameron
12:56
If you can identify which ad is playing the sound, that would be very helpful.
We hate that stuff as much as you do.

I'm a Phillies fan who was away at college watching Halladay throw his NLDS no-hitter in 2010. My clapping & screaming was so intense that my neighbors called the RA on me. The RA was a baseball fan & basically told my neighbors "please, this is history" & we both watched the rest of the way, being as loud as possible.
Rich
12:56
As a Blue Jays fan, Halladay's death breaks my heart.  It is a shame that the Jays could never put together a contender when he was there.  I think this made him constantly underrated to the general population.  Glad he had the short run in Philadelphia where he got the recognition he deserved.
Nathan E

You said earlier you don't see the Dodgers getting under the luxury tax soon. Think it's possible they go more after Machado who may be cheaper than Harper to try to stay under? 107Mil committed as of now, bbref projects around 50 Mil in arb costs, threshold is 205 Mil. Maybe it depends on if Kershaw opts out as people seem to expect?
Dave Cameron
12:57
Turner/Seager aren't going anywhere.
So no real spot for him.
Scherzer's Blue Eye
12:57
Halladay should be a 1st ballot HoFer.
Dave Cameron
12:57
Agreed.
Josh R

I have come here from the year 2037. Just wanted to tell you that Dinelson Lamet is widely considered the greatest pitcher of the last 50 years.
Dave Cameron
12:59
At this point in Lamet's career, Kershaw already had like 6 Cy Youngs.
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
12:59
Roy Halladay had four seasons with 200K and 35 or fewer walks. No one else has ever done it three times.
Matt
12:59
To what do you attribute the Cubs decline from an excellent defensive team in '16 to whatever they are now?
Dave Cameron
1:00
More Schwarber, regression.
Grover

Regarding Machado, could the Dodgers move Turner to 1B for the last 2 years of his contract and move Bellinger to the OF to make room at third?
Dave Cameron
1:00
They could, but signing Harper would just be easier.
Slick

When you retire as editor of this site, are you going to return to being a committed Mariners fan?
Dave Cameron
1:01
Probably depends on my kid. If Drew gets really into baseball, and we stay in Oregon, the Mariners are probably his team, and having that to share with him could bring it back for sure.
Tim
1:02
Do you think that Halladay is going to be the pitcher that moves the Hall to reconsider what a modern Hall of Famer looks like (low win total, but absolute dominance in peak years)?  Pedro has some of this, although I think he is such an outlier.
