Paul Zimmerman...

9:46

I'll eat a Duke's Mayo sandwich. The question is would you be satisfied with a pitching staff made up of Sale/DeGrom/McCullers/Morton/Lynn/Lackey and Sonny Gray and David Price on the DL?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:46

Skyfire was an autobot

9:47

I think that is standard in a 12-team league, great in a deeper league

Paul Swydan

9:47

I'd still be happy with it in a standard league.

CaptainPeanutbutter

9:48

skyfire was an autobot, turned decepticon, turned back autobot, if you want to get technical.

Paul Swydan

9:48

I didn't, but thanks, haha.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:48

No I didn't but now I know and knowing is half the battle.

Sean Manea

9:48

What do you make of me after 2 starts?

Paul Swydan

9:49

So far so good!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:49

OK, health will always be an issue. Also, I have never seen you throw great, even when you were in college.

Ken Tremendous

9:49

Transformers suck.

CaptainPeanutbutter

9:50

(I like transformers A LOT) if you couldn't tell.

Paul Swydan

9:50

Do not. Michael Bay might have taken it too far, but that's on him, not the Transformers.

Pikup Androppov

9:51

Who strikes out more batters this season Sale or McCullers?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:51

Sale on innings throw

Paul Swydan

9:51

I'll say Sale. But if McCullers stays healthy, it'll be close.

Bassitt of Deplorables

9:52

Who is the best player you would refuse to draft on the grounds he's too boring? (I assume entertainment value IS a factor for most people...I may be wrong)

Jeff Zimmerman

9:53

I'll draft anyone if they're a good price. Have you seen my boring ass Tout Wars team?

Paul Swydan

9:53

I wouldn't not draft a player because he's boring. I've not drafted people because I don't like them or (back in the day) because they were Yankees, but never because of a boredom factor. If anything, that might make them steals.

Mr Puddlesworth

9:53

I have to assume people are only picking vegemite as the hipster contrarian option

Paul Swydan

9:53

Who knows - maybe it's really good. Don't knock it before you rock it.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

Or they'll consume beer anyway they can

anonymous

9:54

What is the most practical, cost-effective alternative to rigging up multiple TVs to follow simultaneous baseballery?

Paul Swydan

9:54

MLB.tv?

Four games on 1 screen

Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

Yep

Jake

9:54

My GF hasn't texted me back for a full 2 hours and I'm concerned it may be because she's a Clay Buchholz fan. How long should I wait before calling 911?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:55

Give her a few days

Paul Swydan

9:55

If she's really a Clay Buchholz fan and isn't related to him, I mean, maybe you don't want to text her back at all. Just sayin'.

Nick

9:55

What is your prognosis on King Felix ROY?

Paul Swydan

9:56

Nick, we say ROS - rest of season. ROY stands for Rookie of the Year. Don't confuse us like that.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:56

I don't know for sure, tough to tell after seeing his talent drop that past few seasons.

Paul Swydan

9:57

Again, not willing to read much into performance just yet.

Lance Chips

9:57

I like Peter Pan peanut butter. It's legit, yo. What you think about this trade...Miggy Cabrera/Neftali/DeGrom for Max Scherzer and Wade Davis. Is Max a big enough upgrade from DeGrom to do that? I could use the big closer upgrade.

Paul Swydan

9:58

I wouldn't do that. I don't think Scherzer is a big enough upgrade to justify giving away Miggy like that.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:58

No way. If you need a closer, but try to trade for Davis and ignore the rest of the pieces.

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

9:58

Thoughts on the first Archer ep last week?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:59

He threw pretty good for the Rays.

Paul Swydan

9:59

I enjoyed it! I think the notion that they were able to pull Archer out of that pool in any sort of alive state is a little far fetched, but beyond that, the story seems fun.
