That if present LoMo and possibly future LoMo are ever in the same room together, it could rip a hole in space time?
Cron's 2018 was promising. There's limited upside there, but he's also likely an upgrade on their existing options and isn't very pricey.
Triples are Great!
2:47
If you were a free agent, would you rather sign with one of the "alphas" like the Yankees or Dodgers or a smaller market team without such a prestigious history?
Meg Rowley
2:48
I am shame-motivated, so I would probably sign with like, the Reds, because the odds of anyone noticing my failure would so low.
Why yes, I am in therapy, thank you!
Dillon

If the Yankees get Machado would you trade Andujar for a pitcher and plan on Machado being at 3B long term?
Meg Rowley
2:49
I wouldn't be so quick to move him. Machado likely does end up at third but unless you're getting Syndergaard, I don't get the rush.

If cano goes to Mets and the mariners trade gordon as well who will play 2nd?
Meg Rowley
2:50
Who are they trading Gordon to? Dude just had a pretty rough lil' season.

Will Mariano Rivera have the highest vote% in HOF history?
Meg Rowley
2:52
I'm inclined to say yes, even with the penalty some will give him for being a reliever (which is doofy), but I don't think he'll be unanimous.
Dillon

Predictions on who do the Phillies end up signing?
Meg Rowley
2:52
Everyone!
Corbin seems increasingly likely.
2:53
My gut, just my dumb lil gut, tells me that they'll pass on Machado and wait to make a run at Arenado. But I could see Harper there. Also, Andrew Miller.
Larry
2:53
Why do you refer to yourself in the third person?
Meg Rowley
2:53
I don't normally? Sometimes for affect. Little thing called flair.

I'm amazed by how knowledgeable Fangraphs writers are about seemingly every player in MLB and most of the top prospects too. I follow baseball obsessively, but i find that following just one team is pretty much a full-time job and that it's hard for me to keep track of all the players on the other teams.
Meg Rowley
2:54
Well I can pick the questions, bug Eric and Kiley when I feel like I have to talk about prospects, and look stuff up while chatting, so there is a bit of illusion here.
2:55
But thank you! Also, this is our job. We are unburdened by giving eye exams or digging ditches or preparing quarterly reports.
Hunt for for 28
2:55
Now that Sheffield was included in the Paxton deal what do you think it would take to pry Goldshmidt from the D-Backs?
Meg Rowley
2:55
For the Mariners to do that? The Mariners can't do that.

Will you be going to winter meetings this year?
Meg Rowley
2:56
I will be. I will there for just such a very long time. So, so long. Too long.

Meg stated on time because she didn't need to respond to an email/call from her boss...because she is the Boss!
Meg Rowley
2:57
David Appelman is the boss, to be clear. But on this particular day, none of our wonderful staff required my attention.
You're not the worst
2:58
I bought myself business cards yesterday because my job doesn't make them. I am the worst.
Meg Rowley
2:58
You know, I would never use business cards except for next week and at saberseminar and then I might really, really want them, so this purchase strikes me as rather practical.

For one glorious exhibition game, replace all the regular wooden bats with other bats and bat-like objects.  Cricket bats, sawed-off oars, metal bats, stop signs, regular ol' tree branches, and so on.  Who wouldn't want to watch Aaron Judge try to hit a home run with a croquet mallet?
Meg Rowley
2:59
I think this should 100% be part of the All-Star festivities.
t Bone
2:59
Would the Yankees trade Aaron Judge + and pay the full salary for Mike Trout? Would that be a reasonable trade?
Meg Rowley
2:59
No, it would not be.
Oops

Worst free Agent first baseman signing.  Eric Hosmer or Carlos Santana?
Meg Rowley
3:00
Hosmer with a bullet (sorry, Dave)
joe

Meg, can you suggest to the guys running 'The Board' to add a column for Highest or Current Minor League Level?  This would be helpful in doing age/level comparisons and just good info overall.
Meg Rowley
3:03
I believe that in our next version of THE BOARD (coming soonish) there is some filtering sort of to this end.
John
3:04
Should top prospects who have been traded be viewed differently than prospects who haven't been?
Meg Rowley
3:04
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

Do you consider Die Hard a Christmas movie?
Meg Rowley

Yes.
