Well if assists are a category, I would assume that Seager is by far the most valuable of that group.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:17

Sadly, you have to drop Kluber. Maybe bundle 2 for trade

Paul Swydan

9:18

I'd try to sell high on Stanton. He won't do that again next year.

I know I'm way too early on this, but in a 12-team points league, 6 keepers, who would you keep as your 6th keeper: James Paxton (proclivity for injuries but very talented) or Whit Merrifield (qualifies at 2b and OF, but this could have been a career year)?

Paul Swydan

9:18

Paxton

Jeff Zimmerman

9:18

Agree with Paxton

Tommy

Why is there no baseball?

Paul Swydan

9:18

Because we needed a night off. And so we can have a dry run for the winter.

Jeff Zimmerman

God hates us

Statement, not question: All these games on FS1 are pissing me off. Why can't they just be on FOX, TBS or ESPN? I've missed so much :(

Paul Swydan

9:20

I feel your pain. If it helps, this is the death rattle for cable networks. They know that hiding the games on less popular networks is the ONLY way to get you subscribe to the channel.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:20

Don't you have a friend or family member with cable?

You can log in via the internet.

Paul Swydan

9:20

That's true. Tap your network, if you can.

Big Joey

9:20

Would you rather keep Conforto or Miggy in a league that counts OBP and SLG on top of the normal 5 offensive categories?

Paul Swydan

9:21

Conforto, but I wouldn't feel super confident about keeping either of them for 2018 only. If you're talking 2019 and beyond, certainly Conforto then.

Big Joey

9:22

I know it's way too early but I see Judge being ranked 20-25 ADP next year, that's insanely low, what are people thinking?

Paul Swydan

9:22

https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/2018-too-early-mock-drafts-adp/

I thought it was too low too.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:23

Whoa, I think my second monitor just bit the dust

Paul Swydan

9:23

That was actually my comment in the Best of post this past week.

Got some smoke smell going on

Big Joey

9:24

Health pending, should Severino be a top 10 SP the next 3-5 seasons?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:25

I would never guess a pitcher out 3 seasons, yet alone 5. But yes, he should be a good bet.

Paul Swydan

9:25

I do really like Severino. I think there's a few guys in the top 10 this year I wouldn't say yes to that question to, but him I will.

Long Live Jeff Frye

9:25

I would have preferred a simple "No, it's going to be raining" option. I don't consider you stupid. Wrong, sometimes, but not stupid.

Paul Swydan

9:26

Fair enough! But I am pretty stupid.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:26

Yep

druidiful

9:26

You shouldn't have made those polls so early!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:27

Yea Paul

Paul Swydan

9:27

Sorry, baseball practice was at 4:30 and then swimming was at 6:30, and we had to fit dinner in in between. The polls either got made early or they weren't getting made. :-)

Tommy

9:28

Could LeBron leave for the dodgers?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:28

It depends on how much they are willing to pay him

Paul Swydan

9:28

What position do we think LeBron would play? First base? Third base?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:28

No hard salary cap in baseball

Long Live Jeff Frye

9:28

I guess I have four related questions: do you think Farrell will be fired? Do you think Farrell should be fired? Do you trust Dombrowski, hirer of Ausmus, to hire a manager? Would Brock Holt be enough to trade for Torey Lovullo?

Paul Swydan

9:29

1. No. 2. Yes. 3. No. 4. No.

I think the fact that the Sox rallied to win Game 3 and make Game 4 a fight at home against a clearly superior team saved Farrell's job.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:29

No, Probably, Yes. No
