Best Beard *Right Now*
10:56
Who has the best beard in the game right now? I'm voting Justin Turner, but I'm biased.
Jeff Sullivan
10:56
Late comer onto the scene: Tony Zych
Sterling Malory Chris Archer
10:57
If Vince Velazquez gets hurt at some point this year, should he move to the bullpen when he gets back? Or would you give him another year to start?
Jeff Sullivan
10:57
I'd be very close to just putting him in the bullpen permanently
He could even be a shutdown closer by June, for all I know
Chuck-it
10:58
Any chance a team swoops in and steals Oh from the Rangers? Is the delay related to his physical?
Jeff Sullivan
10:58
I don't know why there's a delay, but it's probably because of the physical, and, if that's true, I don't know why another team would be in a hurry to scoop Oh up

What kind of season do you think Quintana will have with the Cubs?
Jeff Sullivan
10:59
A good one
Sean R

Do you have any "jealous lover" envy when you hear Baumann & Ben pod?
Jeff Sullivan
10:59
I don't have the stamina to pod more than I already do. If Ben has needs that exceed what I'm able to provide, well, it only makes sense that we'd come to an understanding
Nick
11:00
What rookie from last year is in for the biggest regression in your opinion?
Jeff Sullivan
11:00
Probably DeJong
B
11:01
What are you expecting out of Addison Russell this season? He made some pretty big strides from 15-16, but last season seems like somewhat of a lost season for him due to injuries and personal problems. Do you see him bouncing back and continuing to the be the Cubs SS of the future?
Jeff Sullivan
11:01
I expect that he'll remain an above-average everyday shortstop who is still less than what people think he ought to be
11:02
I don't think Russell is going to blossom into a regular, consistent offensive threat. Not at this point
odd questions
11:02
NL East - lowest odds of any division to contain a wild-card playoff team this year?
Jeff Sullivan
11:02
AL Central
TRANE
11:02
Astros O/U set at 96.5 wins, which way are you going?
Jeff Sullivan
11:02
Over
Ander
11:03
Hi Jeff, please don't leave fangraphs. At least until next year. Thanks and this wasn't a question
Jeff Sullivan
11:03
Not planning to
Chet Manly

Jeff Sullivan is going to host a "Pitch Talks" one day in Ottawa when he realizes his dream of finally catching a Sens game, true or false?
Jeff Sullivan
11:03
I've been to a Sens game. I had the pleasure of watching them get destroyed by Montreal
Tater
11:03
Of the FAs still available who will get less than a ~50M contract, who has the best season in 2018?  I like Cahill.
Jeff Sullivan
11:03
Moustakas!
11:04
All right, I should get going
So thank you everybody for hanging out, and I'm sorry for what I didn't or couldn't address. We'll do it again next week at the same time, and until then, be well and have great days
