Sure

I am fooling around in Photoshop with putting the logo over both the (first) A and the N with a tiny bit of transparency. I don't have time before your chat ends to get it how I'm imagining, but perhaps you can picture it--three quarters of the A is still visible, plus the outer edges of the N and a ghost outline of the diagonal.

Paul Swydan

9:53

I honestly can't. But I appreciate you playing around with it.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:53

Really?

Paul, what ballpark is Jeff at?

Paul Swydan

9:53

Yeah Jeff, what ballpark is you at?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

Eck Stadium. getting a look at Oral Roberts' Whatley. Possible top 5 round pick.

Wichita State's stadium

Paul Swydan

9:54

Is it named for Dennis Eckersley?

9:55

Or Aaron Eckhart, star of "Thank You For Smoking?" and "The Dark Knight" ???

Jeff Zimmerman

9:55

No, not sure who is is named after. Probably a rich donor

Paul Swydan

Damnit Jeff

Worried about Russell? Think he is ever a great fantasy SS?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:56

Good, not great. I think playing time will be an issue with him on the loaded Cubs

Paul Swydan

9:56

I'm a little worried about him, but either way, I don't think he will ever be a great fantasy shortstop.

There was a piece recently, I think at BtBS, about how we lose him in the weeds because there's so many good shortstops nowadays.

9:57

He's a 3-4 WAR player. It's OK if he's not a great hitter.

First poll. Why not a vote for "none" ? Not keen on the idea. Don't think it looks like it would belong.

Paul Swydan

9:57

Well look who's the killjoy!

BoJack Horseman

9:58

How come you guys never put me in a poll during the season? It's almost like all you want to talk about is baseball and not me, Bojack Horseman (THE MOVIE STAR)!

Paul Swydan

9:58

Damnit BoJack.

My Grant Dayton and Brinson for his G. Cole and R. Ray in an NL-Only dynasty (if they go to AL we lose them). Thoughts please?

Paul Swydan

9:59

I'd probably take the pitchers. I like Dayton, but his value is limited, and Brinson is still in the minors.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:59

Depends on if you need pitching now.

Joe Kelly

9:59

Can I be the Devenski of Boston?

Paul Swydan

9:59

Oh god, that's funny.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:59

Probably not

Paul Swydan

OK folks, we need to wrap this up a touch early tonight. Back at it next week!

Thanks for hanging out.
