Dan Harris

I don't have him within my top-14 second basemen, no. So many things went right last year and it was still an 11-homer, 24-steal season, with 120 combined runs and RBI. He's penciled in at leadoff for now but for someone who barely reaches double digits in homers and has good but not elite speed, I'm not totally a buyer. That said, I own Wong in plenty of leagues, but more as a bench piece and someone who can fill in as necessary.

Dinelson Lamet SD, Max Fried ATL, Matthew Boyd DET, Zac Gallen ARI. Please list in your order of preference. Thank you.
Dan Harris

Gallen>Lamet>Fried>Boyd.

Hunter Harvey 2020 Saves...>15 or <15?
Dan Harris
1:43
Just because I feel like we're looking at a maximum of 100 games with potential doubleheaders and few days off, I'll go under. But I do think he leads the O's in saves.

Hello. Thanks for chat. Justin Turner vs Matt Chapman. Sell me.
Dan Harris
1:45
Phew, well, I don't really think you should need selling on Chapman in this scenario. Turner is 35 and frequently deals with injuries. He's never come close to Chapman's 36 homers last year, and Chapman has plenty of more room to grow. I am happy to have Turner on my team. But he's in a different tier than Chappy for me.

Matt Olson, Miguel Sano, Franmil Reyes...who you got for the AL HR Crown in 2020?
Dan Harris
1:46
I think I pick Sano every year, so I'll stick with him, now that the team has fully committed. I fear for opposing fielders!

Do you think Mike Matheny might jerk Ian Kennedy in/out of Closer role? Any concern to Barlow or Rosenthal vulturing Saves?
Dan Harris
1:47
I don't really see why Matheny would do that, but Kennedy is in the last year of his deal, so depending on what happens with the trade deadline, he could obviously be dealt. But if he stays with the Royals, I'd expect him to be mostly the everyday closer.

Will there be a baseball pod besides leading off this week?
Dan Harris
1:50
Why do you hate Leading Off? Is it because there's no baseball for me to recap every night? FINE! Yup, one will be recorded Friday.

Who is a player who you could see completely falling off, but not because of their age?
Dan Harris
1:50
Danny Santana. Totally random breakout year, so could easily see him turning back into a pumpkin.
Justin
1:51
Quick question...W. Contreras or M  Garver at pick 140? In general do you go for a solid C bat or a power bat like K Davis here? Thanks!
Dan Harris
1:51
I'm fine going for a top-five catcher at that point if available. That's about the time I'm ready to pull the trigger. Narrowly Contreras for me.

Will Javier Baez qualify at 2B this year (needs 10 games)
Dan Harris
1:53
Meh, beats me. He'll obviously be the primary shortstop this year, though not sure if we can expect Kipnis to hold down the fort at second. Either way, hard to envision the Cubbies moving him off his primary position to second, so I wouldn't bank on it.

do you think Bumgarner is a top 20 pitcher ?
Dan Harris
1:54
Nope. I like Bumgarner, honestly, and he did gain back some velocity. But his home/road splits were SO awful last year and have been trending in the wrong direction for years. Out of San Francisco, I'm not willing to put him in my top 20. More like top 40.
Dom

Put these pitchers in order of when it comes to a CBS H2H system. Flaherty, Darvish, Glasgow, Sonny Gray, Woodruff, Paxton
Dan Harris
1:55
Flaherty>Glasnow>Darvish>Gray>Woodruff>Paxton. I'm assuming H2H means points here.
Justin
1:56
L. Gurriel Jr for upside or E. Encarnacion for power? Thanks!
Dan Harris
1:56
Gurriel for me. EE is a guy I'm willing to jump off a year too early than a year too late.
John
1:56
Please tank for this season Berrios, Bauer, Kluber and Gray. Thanks
Dan Harris
1:57
Bauer>Gray>Berrios>Kluber.

What young pitcher will get a shot at the bigs with short MLB games in 2020?
Dan Harris
1:58
Mentioned him earlier, but Nate Pearson is my pick. He's got the stuff, he's got an opportunity, innings limit concerns should be gone. So much upside, and I think he gets the shot pretty shortly out of the gate.
Sonny

Keeper league with no restrictions points scoring.  I can keep four hitters.  I'm definitely keeping Mookie and Lindor.  I then have Devers, JD Martinez and Albies.  Who are my other two?  Thanks for answering.
Dan Harris
1:59
Probably depends on how long you can keep a player. If "no restrictions" means forever, then Devers and Albies. If there's a limit on how long, then Devers and Martinez.

Ok everyone, this was a blast, as always. Thanks for stopping by and sorry if I didn't get to your question. Bobby should be back next week! Stay safe and healthy.
