maybe it's in the smoothies their mothers make in the morning?

I know you're not a doctor, but do you have any idea why it took Soler so long to recover from a broken toe? He was supposed to be out about 8 weeks but ended up missing the rest of the season. Do you think his early-season break-out was for real, and is there reason to believe the injury could affect his hitting going forward?

Kiley McDaniel

1:17

you are correct; i am not a doctor.

STL Dave

What’s the comp for Nolan Gorman? Can he be more than say... Mike Moustakas?

Kiley McDaniel

1:18

I think he can be, but he's a similar type of player

When will the grit metric be rolled out on Fangraphs? Descalso must be off the charts

Re: Wilson and Touki - Could Atlanta feasibly have their 4 and 5 spots of the rotation be tandem starts? Thinking Touki/Fried for one and Wilson/Gohara for the other, each pitcher shoots for 4 IP

ATL: we're getting weird, too, but without cistulli

Braves are keeping Riley, Pache and Waters, right? RIGHT???

Kiley McDaniel

1:20

Riley is most likely of that group to be traded but I'm scared to say you aren't right

Carl

1:20

Rank in terms of trade value: Haniger, Albies, Nimmo, Realmuto?

Kiley McDaniel

1:21

Pretty sure they were Ozzie Albies, JT Realmuto, Mitch Haniger (gap) Brandon Nimmo on the trade value list in July

James

1:21

How much would a 1 year deal need to be worth for Harper to consider it? $35 million?

Kiley McDaniel

1:21

Seems like a starting point

1:22

He'd be giving up the chance to lock in guaranteed money if he gets hurt late in the year (which he gets with 3+ years and a 1-year opt out), so probably $40M is the realistic starting point

Twin city

1:22

If Austin Meadows had rookie status where would he rank and what numbers would you hang on him- thank you

Kiley McDaniel

1:22

Probably still around the middle of a top 100

Snacks

1:23

So Nate Lowe at 1B means what for Joe McCarthy?

Kiley McDaniel

1:23

I think those are the two 1B options at the league minimum, McCarthy plays some LF, you have the DH spot and can chase off Choi

Ryan Freel

1:23

What are your thoughts on Auburn SS Will Holland as far as scouting/projected draft range?

Kiley McDaniel

1:24

70 run, 50 raw, can play 2B and CF and maybe SS. Similar to Xavier Edwards from the last draft (SD, comp round overpay from South Florida HS).

Jeff

1:24

Why is everyone willing to play along and pretend the Cubs are poor? It’s pretty disgusting

Kiley McDaniel

1:24

you seem mad

Cashman

1:25

I keep hearing rumblings about the Julio Rodriguez kid in the Mariners minor league system. Is he one of these types that could bust out and really surprise?

Kiley McDaniel

1:25

The tools are monster

1:25

Think the reason TB is in on so many big fish is because Jesus Sanchez is already taking up a 40-man spot, and Brujan, Solak, Hernandez, N. Lowe, Linares, Fox, and Whitley are all R5 eligible next year. Problem is, aside from Realmuto and maybe Haniger, there just aren’t that many big fish out there. Who do you see them getting?

Kiley McDaniel

1:25

Thor, Bauer/Kluber also out there. Bumgarner maybe

Jeff

1:26

Why are sports fans so pro owner? When is the revolution coming?

Kiley McDaniel

1:26

I think common people like to think of themselves as identifying with the most successful business person in the sports area, which is always the owner. And they're fans of the team, so good deal for the team = good deal for them, since the players change.

Warbiscuit

1:26

Are there any concerns about Will Holland? I've seen him ranked in the 20's-30's or late first round of a few mock drafts, and what does he need to do to move up in the draft?

Kiley McDaniel

1:27

you should stop reading mock drafts this early

And there it is. Thanks for coming out this week. And of course the people that voted for the ATL meetup are spread over the three dates oh well.
