No idea where this floated to me from. I gather they were popular around when I was born.
Brian

Your pitcher rankings suggest you're lower on Verlander than most. I know Sporer is a believer. What are you seeing that he isn't?
Eno Sarris
12:02
I think I'll revise that up. Apparently he's got the best fastball spin rate, and when seen in tandem with the fact that he found his rise again last year, I think a lot of his struggles were release point related. If that's true, and he's healthy, it all seems fixable. I'll move him up above Shields, maybe into the low 30s. I should update those.

Can you get a free agent to get an Eno clause in his contract in which you get to be around a team 24/7 like Laroche had?
Eno Sarris
12:03
Judging how Greinke gave me an hour last week after he told the beats that they had to pool their questions, I might have a chance.
Astro Boy

Who's leading the way for the Astros' 1B job as of today?
Eno Sarris
12:03
Taylor White?
Wayne

Does Cano bounce back this year, or are we seeing the beginning of the end?
Eno Sarris
12:03
I think health was a big part of that picture.
Jack
12:03
Eno, there isn't a real possibility Buehrle returns to the South Side - is there?
Eno Sarris
12:04
Doubt it if he's not throwing, but the point was to stretch my mind and think of anything that *could* happen, not necessarily what's likely to happen. There are plenty of reasons to argue against each of my bold predictions, as well as this White Sox one.

We arroyo gone, do we like Ross and Roark even more now?
Eno Sarris
12:04
Ross. Worried that Roark gives way to Giolito fairly soon.
Please Help

Specific question but much appreciated if you can answer it. I've been offered Smyly for my Semien in an AL-only league. I could use the pitching and I have Rollins on my bench, but man I love Semien this year. Would you pull the trigger?
Eno Sarris
12:05
Nah. I'd rather pump up Rollins with a good first week or few, and then try to trade for a struggler I like.

Who ya got in the NCAA Tourney?
Eno Sarris
12:05
NO BRACKETS AND IT FEELS SO GOOD
Andy
12:05
I have no basis behind this but I feel like David Peralta is going to have a huge year. Thoughts?
Eno Sarris
12:05
Hits the ball hard to all parts of the field, which is a great way to start.
Bork
12:05
Your "Shelby Miller will make me happy I didn't trade him" sounds a lot like "I couldn't trade Shelby Miller and have drank enough to make an argument to convince myself that I win by keeping him"
Eno Sarris
12:05
Ok.
Andrew
12:06
Hi Eno! I have first pick in my draft this weekend. Keep 3 years no penalties 5x5 w/ OBP instead of AVG: Who do you pick between McCutchen, Gordon, or C. Seager? Am I overthinking it by leaning Seager? Thanks!
Eno Sarris
12:07
Cutch clearly out in front in an OBP league and unless it's super deep, Seager has to hit close to his top percentiles to make it the wrong decision.

Do you like Rizzo over Arenado this year fantasy wise?
Eno Sarris
12:07
I do. Rizzo Is not a minus in any category with those steals, and I'm not sure Arenado hits 40 again.
Dock Ellis' Altered Reality
12:07
Would you be amused by a game of mirror image baseball? i.e. switch 1st and 3rd base. Infielders become left handed.

Scrap the HR Derby. I want moar BATFLIPZ
Eno Sarris

Batflip Derby Interlude.
Tony G.
12:08
I have Rich Hill as part of my fantasy staff. Is he done for? Should I be leaving him on the pine for a few starts at the beginning of the season?
Eno Sarris
12:08
Especially on the road.
Pat
12:08
Who do you think has a better chance of signing back with the Jays, Jose or Edwin?
Eno Sarris
12:08
Jose, if only for non-baseball reasons.
Texas Dolly
12:09
Who's the closer in Texas on Opening Day?
Eno Sarris
12:10
Sam Dyson. Closer to free agency than Keone Kela, power righty arm with Ks and a super high floor with the GBs, and he got the last save.
Maxamuz
12:10
I'm relying on some sleepers for the back end of my rotation. I have Kluber, Archer, Salazar as my top 3, with Wei-Yin Chen, Jason Hammel, Carlos Rodon, Kevin Gausman and Alex Wood rounding out the back. Am I going to regret this decision not to go more heavy over top end SP in a league with QS / K9 / ERA / WHIP / SV / HLD?
Eno Sarris
12:11
k9 means you have to get as many aces as you can, unfortunately. However, the three ace approach isn't terrible. I might sit some of those guys in bad matchups to try and keep the k9 high, get some really good relievers.
Adam
12:11
Would you ever see a case for keeping Carrasco over Joey Bats in an auction league, when you know it's going to be a dogfight for the top SPs, and a ton of SPs are being kept already?
Eno Sarris
12:11
It's okay, yes.
