I just saw this line the other day and now I can't remember what it's from. Brooklyn 99?

Who's the winner of the Aaron Judge/Aaron Hicks competition?

Paul Swydan

9:13

In the end, it'll be Judge. To start, looks like it's Hicks/service time suppression.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:13

Hicks for now.

and to lose

Why will Jurickson Profar be starting over me?

Paul Swydan

9:13

Because he was twice the #1 prospect in baseball and you weren't? We know who you are and don't know who Profar is?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:14

Doesn't sound that what reading the headlines. You may also be leading off

Paul Swydan

9:14

Oh really? I haven't seen that.

Broseph

9:14

It's a crime that Jingle All the Way wasn't in the list of choices for Arnold.

Paul Swydan

9:14

I've never actually seen that one.

9:15

It came down to that, Commando and Conan for the last spot.

Angus

I am down to two keepers. NL only auction format, $260 cap. Rate these pitchers, all at $5. And does one or any stand out as must haves? Glasnow Ty. Anderson D. Hudson Ottavino

Paul Swydan

9:15

If you're wondering if any of these guys are worth keeping, I'd say Glasnow and Anderson are.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:16

Glasnow, Anderson, Ottavino (Saves), Hudson

My favorite continent is Zealandia. You've probably never heard of it; it's kind of underground. But it's gonna be big, I tell ya!

Paul Swydan

9:17

Huh.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealandia

It has variously been described as a continental fragment, a microcontinent and a continent.

I like the word microcontinent.

The only Schwarzenegger movies I've seen are the Last Action Hero and Jingle All the Way, and I've never seen a Julia Roberts movie

Get this person an Amazon video gift card, stat!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:18

You are better person for not wasting your time.

Paul Swydan

9:18

What do you mean, how else could we have learned about the dangers of mining precious trivitium from Mars' core?

Scioscia has stated that Maybin will be the starting LF for the Angels. But judging by the spring numbers would it be a mistake if Revere isn't starting in the OF somewhere? He has been on fire. Mayben has been the opposite.

Paul Swydan

9:19

Ben Revere and Cameron Maybin have been around long enough that we know who they are. Revere is not a starting OF. Maybin is...just barely. I don't make a habit of siding with Scioscia, but I will here.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:20

Quit judging players using spring stats. Also, quit assuming Scioscia will make rational decisions.

Dronefinger

9:20

Sleeper Wildcard picks?

Paul Swydan

9:20

You have to wait until the staff predictions piece on Friday!

9:21

(But I have a good one)

Jeff Zimmerman

9:21

/Checks to see if he has down them

/Yep

Paul Swydan

9:21

Yeah you did. Good job lol.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:21

Wait until Friday

Very deep redraft. Slow draft in progress with 106 players chosen so far. All of the big SP names are gone with injured Price just gone. What is your feeling on Harvey coming of his surgery as opposed to McCullers, Porcello, Duffy, C-Mart, Cole Paxton, Hill, King Felix, etc. (Dont need you to rate each SP, just giving you a taste of the kind of pitcher left. This will be my 1st SP.

Paul Swydan

9:21

I wouldn't touch Harvey with a 10-foot clown pole.

9:22

I def wouldn't take Harvey if guys like Martinez, Cole, and Hill are on the board.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:23

You are going to need a little upside, but I think Porcello will have the best stats at end of season of the group even with heavy Wins regression.

Eno!

On March 1, rotographs staff ranked Gsellman 108. Jeff was even lower. Today he suggested he could be top 20... What's up with that?
