If you were Klentak, would you trade Sixto for anything? His profile I believe doesn’t have a history of working out, but he’s also hurt so his stock may be down.
AvatarKiley McDaniel

This isn't the time to trade him, given the injuries. If he shoves next year and is healthy, he'll be near peak value at the deadline if they're in striking distance
12:51
He also may pitch himself into untouchable/best pitching prospect in baseball territory
If I'm PHI, I use money and all the MLB youngsters to try to remake the team and leave the premium assets (Nola, Hoskins, Sixto, Medina) alone

What would you need to see from Tony Santillan to bump up his 45 FV from the last update?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:52
Finalizing that list now, may be up on Friday. Either 45+ or 50, it would appear

Will FanGraphs be introducing a Trade Machine similar to what ESPN has for the NBA? In other words a tool which would allow me to see, for example, which Padres prospects/players would be a fair return for Thor.

funny you mention that

Give your quick assessment of Lonnie Chisenhall in his new situation, and whether the Pirates could/should have done better.  Thanks!
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Almost snuck him on the end of the top 50 FA. Nice gamble as a platoon corner bat, buying low

If all Presidents/GMs were let free into the wild who would get the highest contract and what would it be?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Cistulli

How much does your opinion of a GM rely on what they tried to do vs what they did do when other factors were involved? Meddling owners, a player drafted one spot ahead, etc.)
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:56
Much of it. Eric and I hear about a lot of these things behind the scenes and don't report it. Like some scouting staffs getting remade, pretty minor scoops regarding people we know and talk to often that we keep to ourselves. Often right after the draft you'll hear which teams got their pocket picked and you remember those for later. One notable one was TB having Christian Yelich as the next option if Josh Sale wasn't there in 2010. Usually don't see the wild swings that low in the draft since the stars usually go up top. Everyone has a Trout story.

Braves actually more likely to land Lebron than Harper like Olney suggests this morning? Could they win the Eastern Conference and the NL??
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:58
BIG IF TRUE

How do you project Antonio Santillan? Any  realistic chance to be a 1 or 2 SP
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:58
Probably 3 or late relief

Nate Pearson still have legit potential to be elite if things go well?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:59
He'll probably always be elite in some way regardless of how this goes. Seems more likely to be reliever than 1 year ago at this time, but that's no longer a pejorative, especially with a 95 mph slider

If you Freaky Friday’d with Preller, what players would you make untouchable in trade talks?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:00
I need to know if it'll be more like the original or the Lohan remake
or the Lil Dicky music video

what are the responsibilities of a team's Director of Baseball Operations?  Is that person usually capable of building stat models in R, SQL, etc?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:01
Lots of different versions of that job since titles are kinda fluid now. Traditionally it's the admin person that knows MLB and contract rules, handles budgets, interns and get some exposure to everything but is the lead on that stuff.
1:02
sorta chief of staff type role. some teams have that guy with an AGM title that does that duties, so he can't be poached
well Jean Afterman w/NYY does some of these things, too. So let's go with they or he/she
1:03
Typically R/SQL stuff is only in the R&D/analytics department and anyone outside that group that has those skills is a positive

Jose Siri- was hurt early and played better late . Has anything changed-still high risk/reward?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:04
Yes and also the defensive metrics weren't as good and his approach is still too aggressive. Getting a little old for the "yeah but what if everything clicks" disclaimer
1:05
Anthony Alford, Monte Harrison, Lewis Brinson, Jorge Mateo, etc. there's lots of those types of players with elite tools/upside and a hole or two and the recent track record at least hasn't been positive. Kyler Murray also fits in that group, broadly speaking.

How many of those questions for your Thanksgiving(or close to it) chat were actually from your family?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:05
I suspect almost half of them
I asked the room for their input on like half of my answers and they busted out laughing a little too often
Bearry

Sanchez, McCarthy, and one of the excess ML bullpen arms (Roe?) or MIF (Duffy) for Bauer. Close?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:07
In the ballpark value wise and also makes sense for team needs. That's an acceptable chat trade proposal, congrats! I think CLE would prefer a lower variance, more MLB-ready OF option that Sanchez, but that's more me guessing.
Also clears out TB's 40-man a bit, which they'd like. Similar crunch to NYY in recent years

What are the odds the braves choose to hold ALL of their pitching prospect depth this offseason in hopes of being able to develop the ace they seem to be searching for during 2019?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:09
That feels unlikely. I'd bet they trade at least one. I'll set the over/under of a 45 FV or better pitching prospect traded this offseason for ATL at 1.5
1:10
Over/Under 1.5 ATL 45 FV+ P prospects traded before opening day
Over (2 or more) (57% | 86 votes)
 
Under (0 or 1) (43% | 65 votes)
