I do! So does Jeff, and he's a roto champ. Literally!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:12

I like the first three more by a large margain.

That I am

Paul Swydan

9:12

Man that's tough. Slight edge to Bryant/Votto/Polanco.

9:13

Wouldn't fault you for rolling with what you have.

Chip

9:13

Is Byron Buxton the September guy, or 1st half guy?

Paul Swydan

9:13

Hoping for September guy.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:14

Somewhere in between I think. I can't a good feel on him

Trainman

9:14

Hey guys I could really use a question answered as just got hit by a Nor'easter and so close to baseball. Last keeper AL only

Jeff

9:14

Blueberry

Trainman

9:14

Last keeper 10 team AL only: $3 Park (who has mashed in ST), $2 berrios (who has looked strong) or $10 Profar (would only qualify at OF or 3B due to me having correa or semien up the middle). I'm leaning berrios.. but parks power potential and profars potential still intrigue me.

Paul Swydan

9:15

Whoops, didn't mean to slide that blueberry in there.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:15

No on Parks

Paul Swydan

9:16

I guess Berrios, because cheap pitchers are cheap. But none of these is jumping out at me.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:16

I'd lean Berrios just because I have a notion Profar may get moved at some point

Trainman

9:16

How much belief do you have in Sandoval being serviceable this year? Or is he not even worth drafting?

Paul Swydan

9:16

I don't believe he will be serviceable enough to be worth drafting in fantasy. Keep him on your watch list.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:16

Very little and depends on league depth. I not reaching for him

Mr. Fister

9:17

Eric stated on a chat earlier today that he saw Luis Robert as a FV 50/55 player. Do you agree with that assessment? Much of what I've read recently describes him as one of, if not THE best OF prospect in baseball. What scouting grades would he receive on his individual tools if he were eligible for these lists?

Paul Swydan

9:18

I'm in no position to disagree with anything that Eric has to say about any prospect. Especially a prospect I've never even heard of.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:19

An average major leaguer, not bad

Mr. Fister

9:19

Should I still feel comfortable drafting Tom Murphy in my minors draft? I'm assuming that Tony Wolters shouldn't be too hard to de-throne once Murphy is healthy.

Paul Swydan

9:19

I'd probably try to find someone better than Murphy at this point.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:19

I think so but watch the news on his injury

Multipi

9:20

Does something like a strawberry/rhubarb fall under strawberry, rhubarb, or other.

Paul Swydan

9:21

I don't know. When I asked Jeff his favorite he said rhubarb, and I said like strawberry rhubarb? And he said NO NOTHING SWEET.

Jeff's weird, is what I'm saying.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:21

Strawberry/rhubarb is an abomination.

Mike Milligan

9:21

Thanks for the chat. How worried are you about Carrasco's elbow?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:22

Yes. Carrasco always seems hurt. Never gets close to 200 IP

Paul Swydan

9:22

Carrasco is a perennial stay away for me. As someone pointed out earlier tonight, Carrasco has one year where he's topped 150 IP.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:22

And you're welcome

Mr. Fister

9:22

I've never watched Dancing With the Stars, but if Bartolo Colon signed up, I just might.......Maybe

Paul Swydan

9:22

NOPE

Miky

9:22

So Lucas Giolito throws 91 mph fastball with basically no movement, has mediocre control and hitters easily lay off his curveball because he buries it in the dirt every single time. Is there still a top prospect hidden somewhere, or is this what he is now?

Paul Swydan

9:23

Jeff was watching him earlier today and wasn't impressed, right Jeff?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:23

That is what he was today. His mechanics were all over the place. Nothing has changed from last year.

BoJack Horseman

9:24

Strawberry Rhubarb? Get your head out of your ass Paul! Rhubarb doesn't get a plus one!

Paul Swydan

9:24

Sorry Bojack.
