That is the worst.

9:25

My kids have learned to follow their mother's example of never shutting off any light ever. It drives me up a wall.

Kiermaier's Engaged Green Eyes

Chris Archer (think Cupid)

Paul Swydan

9:25

Ehhhhh, I think we've got better names on the pitching staff. But I like where your head's at.

Keith Hernandez

9:25

Is Cespedes a 5 win player in 2017?

Paul Swydan

9:25

I'll say no.

New Guy

In a head to head categories keep forever league (standard 5x5) would you rather have Dahl or Sano? Have Arenado at 3B so will be using Sano at OF if I keep him this year. Thanks!

Paul Swydan

9:26

Right now, I don't think Sano is special enough to keep as an OF. But it's keep forever....tough. Can't blame if you keep Dahl.

Kevin

9:26

how deep of a fantasy leadgue do you have to be in to draft Sandoval? Seems good value in a 15 teamer

Paul Swydan

9:26

15 teamer is probably right. Or any AL-only league.

Don

9:26

Who's more likely to get 4 WAR this year: Carlos Rodon or Yoan Moncada?

Paul Swydan

9:26

Rodon

Blue Devil

9:26

Should the catcher be ty flowers?

Paul Swydan

9:27

Nah, I like the current catcher names better. But that's a good thought!

Justin

9:27

Can keep oh or Contreras in 16th round...Who you got?

Paul Swydan

9:27

Normally I'd say go with the position player. But if Mr. Cute Pants Maddon is going to cut into Contreras' playing time with Schwarber, then you gotta go to Oh.

Jim Ray Hart

Paul Swydan

9:28

Noted!

Pretty mad I missed on the Hart's and the Babe's.

But I'm glad you all are here to keep me in check!

Seanto

9:28

obtuse relevant question of the night: who really IS mitch haniger?

Paul Swydan

9:28

A baseball player? Probably a 1-2 WAR baseball player.

Kevin

9:28

Followup to DJ lemahieu. He had roughly 66% of his ABs batting 2nd last year. You don't think hes more likely to hit 7th or 8th with Dahl, Desmond and Blackmon rotating the top 3 spots?

Paul Swydan

9:30

We'll see. He literally just won a batting title. I think he'll probably start the year at the top of the order. Even if he is bumped down, that isn't going to cut into his value enough to make him a worthless player in fantasy.

Pitts

9:30

Why so many Baez's on the depth chart? I don't quite see its connection to Valentine's Day

Paul Swydan

9:30

Bae-z

The kids say "bae" a lot.

Moltar

Rich "El Guapo" Garces

Paul Swydan

9:30

Hahaha.

Rickey O'Sunnyvale

John Valentin

Paul Swydan

9:31

He's on there!

Kiermaier's Engaged Green Eyes

9:31

Wait there was a guy called Baby Doll Jacobson worth 25 WAR and he's nowhere to be found on the depth chart? What is general manager John Hart doing?!

Paul Swydan

9:31

Oh that's a good one.

Don

9:31

Should the Cubs trade Jake Arrieta for a pitcher with more years of control? Or do you think Theo is comfortable with signing him to a huge contract?

Paul Swydan

9:31

Uh, no. The Cubs should be trying to win the World Series. Trading Arrieta is not going to help them achieve that goal.

J. Peterman

9:32

Jon Singleton for the sad, lonely aspect?

Paul Swydan

9:32

Let's keep an optimistic tone here, Petah-boy.

mark

9:32

Are you a believer in Gleyber Torres?

Paul Swydan

9:32

I am!

mark

9:32

Any chance Machado continues to get some play at ss from year to year?
