The Yankees are going to lose the Wild Card aren't they?
Eno Sarris
12:14
I don't think so but they tryin

I've started adding lettuce/spinach, tomato, and mayo to my breakfast sandwiches.  It felt dirty at first but now I like it.

Adds some wetness, keeps things from getting dry, helps your colon.

Yelich flyballs!
Eno Sarris
12:16
Still basically two grounders per fly ball, but there's an inkling of change there.

Do you think the Braves would allow a rookie (Acuna, Allard) to break Spring camp with the team? Or will service time factor in?
Eno Sarris
12:16
They seem like they want to keep the new park bounce. I bet they let one start with team at least.
Ozzie Albies
12:17
Is he able to sustain the babip? Atlanta is looking good for next year.
Eno Sarris
12:17
He's got a league average BABIP right now! I think the real questions are if he can improve the patience and keep the power. I think he can do both. I'm in the tank.

Recently, I've thought of ignoring pitcher injury risks as a whole when it comes to drafting. I'd rather 150 good innings of Paxton or McCullers than 180 of mediocrity. That's how I see it. That extra risk is tied into the draft price. The reward seems to be much higher.
Eno Sarris
12:18
Fine, if you also lobby for more DL slots, or else you'll have a bench full of injured guys and fall behind on innings.

What kind of numbers might we expect from Souza and Pham next year?
Eno Sarris
12:20
Pham is 30 next year!! I think .275/.350 with 18/15 full season seems like bakes regression and age in.
Joe Bags

I'm in a pinch with playoffs approaching with Sano stuck on the DL ... Trevor Story, Ian Desmond, Gerardo Parra - pick one for the next three weeks, 12 team 5x5 OBP league.
Eno Sarris
12:20
Story.

Check out the bar Gollum in Amsterdam. Fun place.

Any reason for optimism about Conforto?
Eno Sarris
12:21
Not feeling it after random doctor came in and said he may not get all the way back. Probably like a back end top 100 keeper with that in mind.

talk to me about Luis Castillo. Pretty sexual if you ask me. But forreal, what is your 2018 outlook from here. I know you don't LOVE the change, but he seems to be throwing it decently. Is he looking like a Severino type breakout next year?
Eno Sarris
12:22
Yes that describes his upside for sure. It's probably the command that's most worrisome but he's good.
Josh
12:22
Are you buying what Luke Weaver is selling?  Is he a top 50 arm?
Eno Sarris
12:22
He has the command to be much better than the parts. I'm buying where I still can.

How long does Sanchez stay at catcher?
Eno Sarris
12:23
This is the team that went with Jorge Posada forever. I think they just keep coaching him along.

At what point are we worried about the astros?
Eno Sarris
12:23
To me, the rotation always gives me worries.
Wes

Who is the biggest name to get traded today?
Eno Sarris
12:23
If it happened, and I do think there are a couple teams that should do it, Justin Verlander.
see how those two went together.
Coach McGuirk
12:24
Any thoughts on Dylan Bundy's future? He's had a really up and down year (currently up). I tried to sell high on him in June but couldn't make it happen, now I'm glad I had him for August.
Eno Sarris
12:24
Great to have now, wouldn't bank on health forever. His big mechanical tweak (how he holds the ball in the back) doesn't seem like enough to completely correct his past injury issues.

Hi Eno. In last week's chat, you mentioned liking Conforto over Benintendi because they had similar hit tools, but Conforto had more power and you didn't think Beni had difference making speed. With Benintendi on the verge of a 20/20 season (already at 18/18), do you really think the extra 5-10 HR from Conforto are worth more than the extra 20 SB from Beni?
Eno Sarris
12:25
Well, not now.

I faced a world class fastball pitcher (windmill style) and it took me 6 swings to keep one fair. I think it's safe to assume over a FULL season, a regular could get a couple hits. (Remember Dea Song Koo vs the Big Unit?)
Eno Sarris
12:25
Yeah I mean we're talking about luck and 2000+ pitches.
