The Giants' outfield woes aren't exaggerated, are they?
Eno Sarris
12:01
1.4 win projection for the whole outfield. Worst in the big leagues. By almost a win behind the Royals. And it's all in a bounce back from Pence, who looked pretty toasty last year.
Chris

The Mets need to shake this roster up. Would a Lagares/Wheeler/Nimmo for Herrera and Merrifield be doable? At least start the conversation.
Eno Sarris
12:03
I'd like them to keep Nimmo, but this would be interesting. They still need an infielder, and I'm not sure how much they have left to spend.

ENO! It's still like a month until mock drafting on Yahoo! Where can I get my fix?
Eno Sarris
12:03
Couchmanagers maybe?
Yo my dude
12:03
Thoughts on Mike Minor as a starter? How would they rank for you next to guys likeJC Ramirez and Patrick Corbin?
Eno Sarris
12:03
I *might* take Corbin first, but him and Minor are in the same ballpark. I think I'm out on Ramirez. He tried throwing the slider almost as much as his fastball and was still supermeh.

So is Cole going to actually be traded sometime soon?
Eno Sarris
12:04
Lot of smoke here.

How do you feel about the Mets' bullpen? I've read articles stating it as both a weakness and a strength.
Eno Sarris
12:07
I think a lot depends on Familia. He dropped velo last year and is coming off a significant injury. If he's okay, then they have a legit three-headed monster at the back with Swarzak and Ramos, and each has fairly different skills, which I take as good. There's some weakness behind the three, but Robles has some ability and Montero might be able to become a good reliever. Blevins is a good lefty.

So what's a normal day for Eno like at say, 7-8 am?
Eno Sarris
12:07
Bedlam. Yelling. Pleading.
Blackburn
12:07
Chances Cole, Cutch, and/or Harrison are all traded this winter?
Eno Sarris
12:08
Better than two thirds on each, but that still means all three isn't super likely.

Dodgers, Astros and Yankees have the longest WS windows.  Sox, Cubs, Indians and Nationals have 1-2 years before their windows close.  Agree or Disagree?
Eno Sarris
12:09
Indians and Cubs and Sox maybe have a bit longer, IMO. I guess the Indians start losing pitchers, but they've been very good at developing pitchers, so I wonder if they won't find some new ones. Cubs and Sox have good position players and money.

Yelich for Clint Frazier, Aarin Hicks, Estevan Florial, and a low minors pitching prospect.  Who says no?
Eno Sarris
12:10
Apparently the Yankees are trying very hard not to trade Florial. That might pry him loose, but I think they'd rather save chips for pitchers.
Sparhawk
12:10
If you were the Braves would you fill your RF/LF spot with Yelich (very costly), Clint Frazier (medium cost) or Brett Phillips (lowest cost)?
Eno Sarris
12:11
I would not trade for Phillips. Swing seems messed up to me. Yelich is an interesting pickup to me, if they think they can identify some prospects that the Marlins will overvalue.
Timmuh in the PHL
12:11
Is King Felix done?  Or do you think he can rebound at all?  Picked him up late in an NFBC draft recently (in round 18 as a roll of the dice).  On a side note, will be visiting my brother in Santa Cruz in a few months ... any good breweries to visit in that area?
Eno Sarris
12:12
Think he can be a league average type, back end starter for a bit, but for more I'd like to know what his velo is this spring. Gotta go to Sante Adairius in Capitola when you're there, they are world class.

Am I nuts for seeing Bruce as an excellent value for the Mets?  A lot of people seem to be upset by this deal but I'm a big fan.
Eno Sarris
12:14
It's definitely not a really bad deal. It's only three years long, and if they have to swallow a year and $13m that won't hurt the team. Is it a great deal? Dunno. You can maybe say that position adjustments for corner guys are a little off, and he'll get another win, and ZiPs likes Bruce more than Steamer, but I'd probably put his over under on wins around 4, which means it's a fine deal.

I've been looking at pitch sequencing data and am curious about your opinion on one aspect of it. Between changing eye level and changing distance from the hitter (as in "x-position" parallel to the plate), which do you feel has more impact on a hitter?
Eno Sarris
12:15
I'd guess X. The Pirates had a famous finding about inside pitches followed by outside ones.
And Beltre told me that by looking for pitches up, pitches down looked much worse and were easier to lay off of.

Thoughts on James Kaprieleian(sp?)? Is he worth keeping as a prospect in a Scoresheet keeper league? He'd cost probably my 33rd or 34th pick. Thanks!
Eno Sarris
12:16
Absolutely worth it. Big arm. People get TJ, not the end of the world.
Minty
12:16
What kind of power/speed numbers are you expecting from Ozzie this year? I want to buy in but worry about adjustments.
Eno Sarris
12:17
Dude makes adjustments. Heady, energetic, 1-to-1 GB to FB, patience, contact, and speeeeeed. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ALBIES

What's your take on the terms of that Jay Bruce to the Mets deal?  Also, do they actually run with Cespedes in left, Conforto in center, and Bruce in right if they can all stay healthy?
Eno Sarris
12:18
Conforto not ready for the start of the season so I'm guessing Bruce / nimmo&lagares / Yo to start, and a month for Dom Smith to be better before Bruce goes to first.
Babe Lincoln
12:18
I know we can't quantify clubhouse presence, leadership, etc.  So how should we factor intangibles when we think about contracts (e.g. Bruce)?
