Is Berrios worth holding on to without an NA spot on roster?

Paul Swydan

9:17

Not in a redraft league, no.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:17

Nope, not right now

Phil

9:17

Which SS situation would u prefer : Story or a Kang / Villar platoon?

Paul Swydan

9:18

All hail President Kang!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:18

Kang/Villar

Roger

Who has been the most disappointing prospect in the minors this year (i.e., excluding Buxton and Berrios)?

Paul Swydan

9:18

Who has been the most disappointing besides the most disappointing?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:19

All the hurt pitchers

Which all seems to by on TDGX team

Paul Swydan

9:20

Ryan McMahon has had quite the slow start.

9:21

Also, really displeased with how Swihart has been shunted aside.

Trainman

I read Jeffs piece on Russell Martin today, I am still holding hope he snaps out of his funk, but he is starting to feel like a sunk cost. Do you guys think he will figure it out and get to 15 HRs and a .750 OPS?

Paul Swydan

9:21

I have faith. Martin has been counted out before.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:21

No on 15 HRs, but the OPS seems workable

Tim

9:22

Thoughts on Bauer? is he finally getting it together?

Paul Swydan

9:23

He seems better, but hitters are swinging less overall, and less both in and out of the zone. I'd like to see at least his O-Swing% be higher.

But, so far, so good.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:23

I need to see a half season to believe. I have been burnt too many times in the past

Paul Swydan

9:23

Infield in strategy burns again, Jeff. Guess John Farrell didn't read your piece in last year's THT Annual.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:24

He could be a NASCAR driver with the number of corners he's turned

It really doesn't work

Anthony

9:24

Wait...what did I miss w/ Swihart? Why is everyone saying the Red Sox want him out of town?

Paul Swydan

9:25

They sent him down after 6 games when he had a .391 OBP and they have had him start playing left field in Pawtucket, even though the reason he was supposedly sent down was to work on his catcher defense.

9:26

Better president: Nixon or Nixon's head?

Paul Swydan

9:26

Like you had to ask!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:27

Nixon for the dual peace signs

Jim

9:27

is piscotty enough to get david price

Paul Swydan

9:27

I certainly wouldn't think so.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:28

No, not really

Battah, Battah, Battah

9:28

Really impt. Need hitting in very deep 16 team redraft. Was offered Corey Dickerson for Matt Andriese. I know Dicker has been in a terrible BA slump esp vs Lefties. Thots on Dickerson rest of year? Same owner has Bour. Bour any better? Thanks.

Paul Swydan

9:28

I like Dickerson better. He'll turn it around.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:28

I think I would ride out Dickerson

Trainman

9:29

Over under 35 homers for Byung Ho Park?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:30

Under, but it is a good number IMO

Paul Swydan

9:30

What Jeff said.

Danny Almonte

9:30

All of baseball is thrown into a draft. Which current team has the most 1st round draft picks?

Paul Swydan

9:31

Probably Cubs or Dodgers. Maybe Red Sox.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:31

Dodgers

9:31

If Rich Hill keeps up his current rate, what would he fetch in this market?
