Hi everybody!

9:01

Jeff may be late. Kids stuff. Pro tip - Never become an adult.

I have to say, I'm surprised 10.3% of you have faith in Jackie Bradley Jr. to beat Joe DiMaggio's record. I guess someone's gotta do it.

Jeet

9:01

I finally made it to a chat

Paul Swydan

9:01

Congrats Jeet!

Amir Garrett

Will I be in the majors this year? Makes sense right?

Paul Swydan

9:02

It absolutely makes sense, but the Reds front office isn't always dictated by logic. So you know, we'll see.

o/u 1 career .500 OBP season for Bryce Harper

Paul Swydan

9:02

Wow that's a great question. Let's put it to a poll!

9:03

How many .500+ OBP seasons will Bryce Harper have?

Zero (49.2% | 29 votes)

One (30.5% | 18 votes)

Two or more (20.3% | 12 votes)

Total Votes: 59

I gave you guys an out, because I'm nice like that. Sticking to the original question, I'll say under. Zero.

better pitcher in 5 years: thor or kershaw?

Paul Swydan

9:03

Kershaw.

The Hot Stove

9:03

Traded away Votto+Dietrich+Latos for VMart+Desmond+Houston Street. How did I do

Paul Swydan

9:04

Meh? I think that's fairly even.

Michael Saunders

9:04

Am I a top 20 OF. Who would you rather have ROS - me or Gallo?

Paul Swydan

9:05

Gallo. At least you'll be able to get good value for Gallo because he has some hype. No matter how good Saunders does, he'll always be one dive away from a 3-month DL stint, so no one is going to give you value for him.

Which Mariners reliever gets the next shot for saves if Cishek falters? Let's say everyone's at full health.

Paul Swydan

9:06

Oh fun, a chance to plug the Bullpen Report. The Bullpen Report guys do excellent work - you should always read them first. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/bullpen-report-may-23-2016/

They have Benoit up next, in case you want to save the click.

Devon Travis is returning very soon. Any predictions for when he's back?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:07

Hi, everyone sorry to leave you alone with Paul.

Paul Swydan

9:07

My prediction? Pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSPNQ82Sq4E

No, seriously, I'm hoping that he will be back at full strength, and I'm still a huge fan.

Jeff Zimmerman

I had a recent quote in my last MASH report

The Middle Infielders

9:08

Tulo or Kinsler ROS?

Paul Swydan

9:08

Kinsler

9:09

Xander just missed another double by a couple feet.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:09

Yea .... but it is close for me

Stenzy

9:09

Realistic trade targets for Giants at deadline? Chapman, Rodney, Pomeranz possibilities?

Paul Swydan

9:10

I think Chapman will be for sure. Rodney doesn't seem like the kind of guys the Giants usually target. Pomeranz will probably cost them more, since he's in division and under control for a bit.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:10

I think anyone could be in play. I think the NL stinkers may look to trade once the draft is over.

Stenzy

9:11

Hey look! Angel Pagan to the DL...again. Who do the Giants get to play LF?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:11

Shane Victorino doesn't have a job

Paul Swydan

9:12

I won't be surprised if they just roll with Parker and Blanco. Parker is starting tonight.
