Yeah I've been thinking the same thing myself. Agent analytics need a little bit of help right now.

Tom only won 2 out of 3 years, I won last year and will again this year :)
Eno Sarris

Lol just trying to point out dude is not crazy bad, just crazy.

Is Addison Reed more appealing than Greg Holland?
Eno Sarris
1:39
I'd prefer Reed. I see Holland as a fairly high injury risk. Lost his slider for a good portion of last year.

Was just talking to a friend of mine and we're trying to figure out if there's a potential Archer-to-the-Phillies trade fit out there. Given his contract, even if the Phillies headline a deal with Sixto and Kinger (plus say, Nick Williams), would that be enough?
Eno Sarris
1:40
It might be but the Phillies have money. I don't think they need a cheap ace.

Bogaerts, Didi or Semien.. no costs associated
Eno Sarris
1:40
Didi, but X has the ceiling if ever changes his launch angle.
Billy Beane

Don't know if it's your jam but the Flobots diss track about that dumb kid that posted a video of himself joking about a suicide victim was dope. And it wasn't even related! It was just him making a dumb rip-off of their song that they posted a week before he made everyone hate him!

Gary Sanchez just taken at the turn (1st round) in NFBC draft champions! whoa!
Eno Sarris
1:43
Went all in before last year where I could. Not selling.
Alonso
1:43
Is this new Yonder Alonso here to stay? CLE seems like a nice landing spot for him to repeat.
Eno Sarris
1:43
Even the lesser second half had a better launch angle and results than his previous career.

What is the chance that we see an fangraphs x-rated night chat  with you drinking a couple of beers and talking your off the air language?
Eno Sarris
1:44
There is that one podcast. You'll have to find it tho.

Could you explain briefly why you're supposed to spend much more on hitters than pitchers in an auction draft? I kept my budgets around 50/50 last year and did quite well, but did I just get lucky?
Eno Sarris
1:44
Pitchers get hurt more often, stay hurt longer, and miss their projections more often.

Any insights into how batted ball profiles age?  I remember reading this interesting analysis of Starling Marte in 2015 that lauded his batted ball profile, but also left me thinking that his production is so dependent on his high BABIP that a small drop in strength/speed as he ages could push his production off a cliff.  Now that he's 29 and no longer juicing (presumably), do you think that cliff is approaching?

You only hit more fly balls for a little bit, so yeah, starting out with a really low fly ball rate is not good for your power aging.
This is also relevant to Christian Yelich.

Any things that make you go hmmm that you've seen in the projections?

What kind of season do you think we can expect from Miles Mikolas in STL?
Eno Sarris
1:45
He was so standout in Japan... i'm going to get some shares.
Matt
1:45
What is the deal with lack of McCutchen interest? Could make sense for SF,CLE,ARI,SEA,TOR...etc. He has rebounded to being quite good and $15M isn't much(maybe PIT could eat some cash too). 3-4 WAR would bring these team into contention.
Eno Sarris
1:46
One year of control I guess.

To my great chagrin, a doctor recently said I may have a low gluten tolerance and suggested I cut it for a period to see. Do you know of any good gluten free beers or generally-available breweries that you like that brew them?
Eno Sarris
1:46
Stone delicious?
Lizard King

Over/Under on these stats for Miles Mikolas in 2018: 150 IP, 4.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 120 K's
Eno Sarris

I'll take better. Went to a good park, has two good breakers and ostensibly good command of a 93 mph fastball.

Its cold in Florida.  Not cold like the Northeast or anything, but cold enough to go outside after taking the garbage out and say "Dang!  Next time I go out there, I'm putting on a sweatshirt!"

Do players get nervous when they bunt about having their fingers so close to the ball? I would be. Especially if bunting wasn't really my thing.
Eno Sarris
1:47
Yes

Despite your famously developed pallet, do you ever indulge in childish, guilty pleasures?  Chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, frozen Jimmy Dean sandwiches?  I love me some nugs.
Eno Sarris

Fish sticks!

Jose Peraza is just another guy that we dream on because he would he so good if could hit a little, right?
Eno Sarris

Basically billy hamilton redux.

Does Profar start for the Rangers, sit the bench, or get traded? No options left.
Eno Sarris
1:48
Traded.
