Also, all those levers might be able to get in alignment for a while. Sometimes it takes that type a while to find it.

Diadem

What are the chances Montgomery is in the Cub's starting rotation in 2017?

Eno Sarris

12:20

As of now, he's the fifth starter. I actually think he might stay that way, with Z as the sixth starter and Brooks as seventh.

Andrew

12:20

Who is the logical fit for Holland? Red Sox?

Eno Sarris

12:20

Someone with room on the 40 man and in the rotation. I think he'll take opportunity over competitiveness.

12:21

R.A. Dickey

12:21

How much are the Braves paying me?

Eno Sarris

12:21

8-10 million?

Dana

12:21

Have we seen peak Marcus Stroman?

Eno Sarris

12:22

Second half Stroman maybe. Was using four-seamer, slider, curve for Ks, sinker for GBs.

James

12:22

Does Demeritte's rise in stock allow Atlanta to float Albies in trade talks for a legit starter? We have between 7 and 9 top 100 prospects to work with.

Eno Sarris

12:23

The depth allows them to really trade anyone. They don't actually have top-top prospects, which worries me a little, and I'm sure they have their favorites and won't trade all of them, but I can't imagine they have a lot of untouchable minor league pieces.

Dave

12:23

Bryce Harper has to rebound, right? Maybe goes from "not even listening" to "would need to be blown away" in the eyes of some? Good time to pounce?

Eno Sarris

12:23

I think he was hurt and should be healthy but may be injury-prone.

Dave

12:24

What is Eloy Jimenez's ceiling?

Eno Sarris

12:24

Well he won't play center, steal bases, or have a 15% walk rate, I don't think. But otherwise, all of the power.

Drew

12:24

That theory on command is dope. I'm sending that to my former college coach.

Eno Sarris

12:26

Confidence to throw it into the zone, athleticism to keep body parts in the right places, and repeatability to make the process of keeping those parts in the right places easier. Even Hendricks has the confidence to throw inside from a righty to a lefty, and the (I guess) clean mechanics to make it easier. I suppose he's a better athlete than people think.

Lure of the Animal

12:26

Who's the quietest player you've interacted with?

Eno Sarris

12:27

Early Addison Russell would look down when he started his answers. He's the guy that first comes to mind, even if it's not that way any more.

Neel

12:27

do you think its possible that Colorado might have decent pitching next year? can Gray and Anderson take steps forward

Eno Sarris

12:28

Gray can, and Anderson is who he is, and Butler has a non-zero non-10% chance of putting things together, and their position player youth is exciting enough to make the back-end types play.

The O's are looking for a corner OF. But budget constraints means that Cespedes and probably Desmond are out of the picture. What are their alternatives? Would signing Reddick to a three year deal at ~36 million make sense? If he can stay healthy he should help both with the bat and the glove. If he can't, they haven't lost a ton of money. Thoughts?

Eno Sarris

12:28

Oh man Reddick would be awesome there, and it actually makes some sense.

Nick

12:29

Does Urias and Verdugo start a trade for Sale?

Eno Sarris

12:29

Probably still two really good pieces away. Not sure you get away with getting Sale without giving up Bellinger too.

dgrussel

12:30

What is looking like the thinnest position for fantasy next year? Deepest?

Eno Sarris

12:30

We'll see, but there are a lot of 3b/SS types actually, so I wouldn't be surprised if the thinnest is second or catcher.

Minty

12:32

As a Bucco fan, should I be eager to trade Cutch and have Meadows replace him?

Eno Sarris

12:32

No, I mean Meadows is fun, and unlocked the power that his posterior projected, but it's not like he just tore through the minor leagues and is a lock to be as good as Cutch, and asking for him to be better...

Miketron

12:32

Who would you be more worried about getting TJ in 2017, Gerrit Cole or Thor?

Eno Sarris

12:33

Cole missed more time but Thor throws harder... Cole.

Drew

12:33

What's the reasoning for Cardinals accepting Garcia option?

Eno Sarris

12:33

He'd get more than $12m on the market, at worst case is depth or trade piece.

Joe

12:34

My dude, have you ever seen Cutch throw a baseball? Even if Marte is the same rangewise (which I strongly disagree with) his arm puts him way ahead of Cutch defense-wise in CF.

Eno Sarris

12:34

Long history of noodles in center.

Lure of the Animal

12:34

Re Soler trade, would they have to add other pieces to get Wade Davis?

Eno Sarris

12:34

I wouldn't think so but Gleyber Torres got a half season of the best or second best reliever so

Matt

12:34

Current Braves rotation: Teheran, Folty, Dickey, ______, ______. Who are the blanks going to be?
