keep forever, no salaries dynasty rank-em....Conforto, Judge, Sano, Bellinger.

Paul Swydan

9:30

Sano, Judge, Conforto, Bellinger. Ask me again in a week and I might have a different answer. I like all four. I put Sano first based on him being a 3B.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:31

Sano, Bellinger, Conforto, Judge. All are close and not sure. I am worried Judge will age badly.

Jim Lonborg

9:31

Yeah, I'm still feeling like Marrero is a better option than Sandoval. . .

Paul Swydan

9:32

But Marrero needs to play 2B right now. Also, you're only saying that because Marrero jjjuuuuuuuuuuuuuust barely squeaked out a homer just now.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:32

Better than Sandoval .... pretty low bar to set.

John

Redraft AL only - I was offered Adam Jones for Trout. What do you think?

Paul Swydan

9:32

NOPE. Jones has been bad lately, and may be hurt.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:33

Yea, aim a little higher

Enlightening Round

9:33

What do you make of Grichuk being sent all the way down to A ball?

Paul Swydan

9:33

First, I love that name - Enlightening Round.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:34

He needed to get sent somewhere and heard there was a certain coach the team wanted him to work with. Level doesn't matter to me

Paul Swydan

9:34

Yeah, it seems like they put some thought into it. Seems fine, as long as his ego survives.

Toronto looks like the WC team they were built to be, were we too swift to write them off or are they too far back in a super deep AL East?

Paul Swydan

9:36

They were written off a *little* fast, but they still really do have to play exceptionally well and/or have the rest of the division play pretty crappy for them to get back into it.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:36

I think they could get a wild card. Also, they play the AL East a ton to make up ground.

Paul Swydan

9:36

The one thing working in their favor is that both Wild Cards may come out of the AL East.

What would Joey Votto cost the Yankees in prospects and dollars? (assumming Reds pay something of contract)

Paul Swydan

9:37

Doesn't matter because Votto has a no-trade clause and he's not waving it. He has made that abundantly clear.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:38

What Paul said

Paul Swydan

9:38

Going back to the Blue Jays question, they still have the 3rd highest WC odds - http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx?type=2&lg=wc&date=current

Sam Travis went yard off my team in high school playoffs. This means he is probably a future all-star

Paul Swydan

9:39

Speaking of Sam Travis, he just muffed a single into a triple. They gave the error to Bogaerts, but Travis should have just come off the bag and caught it.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:39

Betting reasoning than what Murray Chass has been using.

Jim Lonborg

9:39

Can I change my vote for best pitching matchup?

Paul Swydan

9:40

I know, right? Sale v Quintana landed with a thud.

hscer

9:40

Killjoys are often correct.

Paul Swydan

9:40

Oh you.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:40

Thanks

Jeff Zimmerman

9:42

I like it

Phil Sheridan

9:42

Is Quintana hurt? How do you explain this season for him?

Paul Swydan

9:43

He's had a few bad starts, and a bunch of good ones. I think he's probably fine.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:43

Everything seems inline but his ERA.

Rick Hahn

9:43

Q got tattooed again tonight. Does this totally crush his mid-year trade value?

Paul Swydan

9:44

If teams are scared off because Deven Marrero lucked into a couple of homers against them, they probably need new talent evaluators.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:44

No, but he wasn't going to bring back too much talent anyway
