Frazier is right there.

Re: Cubs/Chapman. Flags fly forever. short of their 1st born, the cubs could of given up anything and it would of been worthwhile.

Eno Sarris

1:05

Oh sure, just commenting on the value of a reliever in trade. Maybe if you add something to a stud young cheap reliever that's worth more than the pieces the Cubs add to Soler, you have a trade.

when you cellar a beer, do you do it at fridge temp or just make sure it stays below room temp?

Eno Sarris

1:05

Dark/light is most important.

Drew

Any thoughts on Arrieta's comment about Hollywood packing their bags? Lowkey surprised you answered a political question so let's see if you answer another.

Eno Sarris

1:06

I mean I don't agree with his politics but sure he can tweet dumb things. We all do.

Went to a birthday party last weekend. It was BYOB. But when I arrived, there was a half keg of Sculpin. It was my first time. But I was the driver. That one beer was, well, fulfilling.

Eno Sarris

1:07

It's still a really good beer, especially fresh. Score has gone down as it's been distributed more widely, but it's still v good.

What are the benefits of becoming a Fangraphs member?

Eno Sarris

1:07

A good night's sleep and a clean conscience if you ad-block.

Phil

Do the nationals have a bigger hole going into next year at catcher or in center field? Is Severino really going to be starting next year already or will they try to get a stop gag?

Eno Sarris

1:08

The bigger deal is having both, I guess. Easier to fill center field, maybe, so I think they focus there and get a veteran behind the plate.

JoJo

1:09

Is it really a big deal as to who catches a Knuckleballer like Dickey? Josh Thole has caught around 900 more innings of Dickey than any other catcher.

Eno Sarris

1:09

It looks really, really hard. You have to throw framing out the window and just make sure you get the dang thing. Which is hard, because it goes against their training.

1:09

meatball sub?

Eno Sarris

1:09

I'm buying.

Although: acid reflux wowza. I am buying my sandwich today though. Excited just thinking about it.

Start a franchise with one player - Who?

Eno Sarris

1:10

Carlos. Correa.

I believe in his defense. Plus plus makeup. All five tools. Excellent with media. Excellent with teammates. Bilingual.

Hank

1:10

Do you think Addison Russell takes another step forward offensively next season?

Eno Sarris

1:11

I'm a little worried about his problems because he swings at too many pitches inside and hasn't done much with low and away, so it's really two problems. But I've seen him shrink his swing zone before, and he's so young, so yeah I think there's more there.

Sno Earris

If Lester, Lackey, and Arrieta all get hit with the olds--whether its regression or injury--and are worth significantly less than this year, how much trouble are the Cubs in?

Eno Sarris

1:12

Only one is on a long-term contract, and I feel like his arsenal can handle the drop in velo more than anyone's because it relies on everything looking the same, not necessarily on everything looking different (like Scherzer, say).

1:13

Re Chapman/Cubs. I got it. being a bit of a smartass as I'm still very happy about breaking the 108 year drought.

ohioastrosfan

1:13

who has higher WAR next year - Correa or Altuve?

Eno Sarris

1:13

Correa by more than one win.

Math-eny

1:13

Does Holliday land back in COL? Possible beneficial mutual reunion.

Eno Sarris

1:14

As their first baseman! He even has some experience there! Parra looked putrid there.

John

1:15

Any big league shortstops comparable to Amed Rosario?

Eno Sarris

1:16

Maybe an Elvis Andrus, maybe a Brandon Crawford, 95th percentile a Lindor I guess. Really good defense, emerging power, good plate skills, good speed.

When do 2017 projections drop?

Eno Sarris

1:16

They're up! In the auction calculator, in the depth charts. all around.

finally one person willing to be ridiculous.

Richie

1:17

I mean, Da Vinci Code fans are sure the Catholic church is up to something shady, that stupid Oprah prison memoir thing fooled so many despite being so transparent to the rest of us. Professional wrestling fans of the 50s were convinced those programs were mostly on the up-and-up. We really really like pretending our entertainment is way more authentic than it is.

Ens Sarrio

1:17

Is Carlos Martinez going to win a Cy Young in the next three years? Why havent the Cards extended him yet?

Eno Sarris

1:17

I don't think you extend those mechanics. Flies open a lot.

Kosch

Does Boston have the best OF next season?
