A fair point, Matt.

Hi Jason.  In my opinion, Marte is easily the most complete player on the team.  Guys with his skill set don't come cheap.  So, if they trade him, that sounds like a salary dump and rebuild.  Your thoughts?

I agree with you. I would not trade Marte, and I don't think they need to rebuild. I think they can get reasonable competitive again with a couple key tweaks.

Who do you like tonight? Who are you rooting for?
Jason Mackey

I like the Astros tonight, but I'm rooting for the Nationals. Scherzer finishing this thing off would be awesome theater.

Do you think that Banister is really a good option for managers?
Jason Mackey

I do. I think the world of Banister. But I could also understand if the Pirates thought they wanted to go in a completely new direction. I don't think you could argue with that.

Do you think that Cole Tucker can take a step forward and maybe push Adam Frazier out?
Jason Mackey

Gold Glove finalist Adam Frazier? Ha. I don't think he will push Frazier out. But I do think Tucker could change the calculus in the infield. If he hits, he could force Newman to third and to get some time at shortstop. Again, if he hits.

OK, folks. That does it for this chat. We'll try to do this again real soon, whenever we have more to talk about. Thanks.
