Hi everybody!

9:01

Vegemite doesn't have the least number of votes. What a time to be alive.

Hi

Dahl Makhani

No hummus? Shame on your western-centric spread selection!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:02

Honey for the spread

jim,

9:02

meat spread

Paul Swydan

9:02

You eat honey sandwiches?

I have definitely NEVER seen a hummus sandwich, and I am Lebanese, so I have plenty of exposure to hummus.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:02

Yea

Paul Swydan

9:03

Well, OK. Learn something new every day.

BIG ED

9:03

Worried about Bregman's rather mild start?

Paul Swydan

9:03

Nope. It's a week.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:03

No

Paul Zimmerman

9:04

Dukes Mayo is best. Would you take Max and Moncada for Manny in a 10 team redraft. 3B and SS would be Castellano and Seager.

Paul Swydan

9:04

I'll reiterate - this was for spreads you eat AS a sandwich, not ON a sandwich. I like my mayo, but not as the sole ingredient.

9:05

As for the trade q, I wouldn't want Moncada in a redraft league, no.

And while I think you mean Max Scherzer, there's another popular fantasy player named Max in Max Kepler, so...please be specific.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:05

Keep Machado

CaptainPeanutbutter

9:05

If you were given 200 points (on the 20-80 scouting scale) to build a pitcher, how would you distribute them? For sake of this exercise you can’t choose knuckleballher?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:07

50 for FB, CB, SL, and control. Bland, but a league average pitcher

Paul Swydan

9:07

60 control/command, 60 fastball, 40 off-speed, 40 changeup

9:08

that's pretty tough, unless you didn't want us to use points for control/command

CaptainPeanutbutter

9:08

wtf is cookie butter?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:08

Yea

Paul Swydan

9:08

It's gross. It's something just north of cookie dough, I think. I dunno, Trader Joe's sells it. But people like it.

Hannah Hochevar

9:09

I know they can't all be Mookie Bettses, but was Carson's Yandy Diaz optimism a little misplaced?

Paul Swydan

9:09

No, few people deliberate things for a longer period of time than Carson. If he believes in Yandy Diaz, you can trust he thought about it for a long time and had good reasons.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:09

Carson's optimism is always misplaced

Yangervis Solarte

9:10

What does my ceiling look like?

Paul Swydan

9:11

I think we saw it last year.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:11

That white popcorn stuff

9:11

Pesto

Paul Swydan

9:11

Man, either people really didn't understand the question, or I am way out of the loop on what kind of sandwiches people eat.

snid

9:12

If trading one for a much need bat. Which? MadBum,Kershaw,or Sale ?

Paul Swydan

9:12

Even though he's been great so far, you'd trade Sale. Always trade the AL pitcher.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:12

I might be a little slow tonight. I am watching a congressional race. I am in a heavy Red district and the Dem is up big early. People are freaking out.

9:13

Agree with Sale
