They'll give him another shot now that he's throwing two breaking balls instead of trying to throw that change.

Touki was dealt by the D-Backs for Philip Gosselin in 2015. Can you think of a worse deal since?
Eno Sarris
1:08
Even worse, it was mostly to save money.

Would Anthopoulos trade Freeman?
Eno Sarris
1:09
I don't think he was brought in to rebuild. He was brought in to trade the right players away in order to win now, wouldn't that describe what he did in Toronto? They have the prospects.
Otani

Guess I'm less likely to be a Mariner now that Healy's at 1st and Cruz's at DH full time. In your estimation, what non-NYY, LAD team might I land with? Rangers? Twins?
Eno Sarris
1:10
I don't think Ryon Healy is keeping Otani out of the lineup. They just traded for some international cash.

What do the Brewers need to be contenders next year?
Eno Sarris
1:10
Pitching.
Magic 8 Balls
1:10
Thoughts on Addison Reed? I think he'd pair up nicely with Kenley in LA. How many years at what cost are you projecting?
Eno Sarris
1:11
3/25-30? He'll go to a win-now team sure.

How crazy am I for thinking Kyle Schwarber could help with the Rockies 1B issues?
Eno Sarris
1:11
The problem is that, if the Cubs trade a major league hitter, they'll want a pitcher.

I'm entering my 6th year of Nelson Cruz ownership in dynasty. After next season he doubles (from 22 to 44, so aside prom age concerns, keepable if production stays). For the last three years, I've thought about trading him and held on - to great benefit. Wash, rinse, repeat - or is this the year to cut bait?
Eno Sarris
1:12
He's 37 and you're on borrowed time. I'd definitely ask around.

What deal do you think the "King Kong of Slug" will get? 210 million seems like Boras is shooting for the moon seeing as what other OF sluggers got last year. Also, what team do you think will sign him?
Eno Sarris
1:13
Boston needs slugging. I think they'll go for it, and maybe there will be some options that make it look like a nearly $200m deal, but doubt it is that much in actuality.

If the Giants look to shop him around, would Brandon Belt have much of a market with the glutton of 1b FA's?
Eno Sarris
1:13
I don't even think the league has a consensus about how good he actually is.
Jamie

In my Scoresheet NL league I need one of these minor league roster guys to hit big next year: Lamet, Woodruff, Reynaldo Lopez, Mahle.  Which do you see the brightest future?
Eno Sarris
1:14
Lamet but also love Woodruff.
Matt
1:14
If anyone thinks that Hosmer would be super willing to change his swing, ask Eno about his hair.
Eno Sarris
1:14
hah

Dave said Clint Frazier for Stanton (with no money kicked in) would be an overpay by the Yankees. Agree or disagree?
Eno Sarris
1:16
I think it's about right without looking closely at Frazier's surplus. If he's a league average guy, maybe it's a bit much. But the negotiating position seems like this: If he ages well, he's worth $400m. If he ages poorly, $300m. To a luxury tax team that loses a second-round pick if they sign an FA but not if they acquire Stanton, they save the value of that pick, around $15m. So I expect the Marlins to get a player/prospect with $45-55m in surplus projected. Of course, the options confuse it, so maybe just $40m.

Piscotty to Oakland makes too much sense, right!?
Eno Sarris
1:16
Would prefer that to Avisail, and see it as more likely than yelich or Ozuna.
Matt
1:17
Considering that FG lives in the dark ages and still lists Greg Bird as Gregory...are we getting Ohtani, or Otani?
Eno Sarris
1:17
Agent has insisted it's Ohtani, and we will enter his name into the DB ourselves, I think, so Ohtani. We must be getting Gregory from one of our stat services.

Eno...should I watch "Fastball" on Netflix?
Eno Sarris
1:17
yes!

Headed to the Gulf Coast for Thanksgiving, any recommendations?
Eno Sarris
1:18
So Tampa? Gotta go to Green Cycle and Bench. And Cigar city. We'll have a piece out for this very soon on October.

$10 Bregman or $22 Cole 2017 prices
Eno Sarris
1:19
Bregman.
Johnathan

Odds of the Dodgers trading Grandal for pitching? Any other contenders besides Boston hurting for a short term (but significant) catching upgrade?
Eno Sarris
1:21
I think they're good. They went with Barnes in the world series. and backup catchers are everywhere. Rockies? twins? Brewers? Maybe there's no match here.

Hi Eno. I sent a question to Jeff and Paul during their "After Dark" chat and got some good feedback, but not exactly what I was looking for (due entirely to some incorrect wording on my part). I was hoping you could provide some additional help. Basically, I’m trying to accumulate a comprehensive sampling of all (or as many) players throughout baseball history who performed at an elite level for consecutive seasons during their short-lived peaks (ideally a peak of three consecutive years, give or take a year or two), but were otherwise mostly replacement-level (or worse) in the surrounding seasons, thus making them unlikely HOF candidates. As an example, I present Kelly Gruber. Do you have any advise on how such a search could be done and refined (i.e. a particular site/database or method)? And would you say WAR is the best stat to go by? Thanks in advance.
Eno Sarris
1:22
Probably use WAR and the age filters. First find guys under 27 that had large WAR. Then do a 27-40 search, no minimums, download that. Vlookup WAR from the second range onto the spreadsheet for the first, and then just subtract one from the other and order descending. Sounds like a good idea.

Gonna be in Denver for the first time in forever, other than Crooked Stave is there a brewery or two I should check out?
