Not familiar enough with the high school players to have an opinion on them

Mariners were recently ranked in the bottom-half for starting rotation by ESPN. Should they prioritize a starter over infield?

I haven't ranked the rotations 1-30 but the Mariners' group would likely be in the top 10 for me. Don't think it's a concern at all, no

There's a lot of people with the D'backs as a dark horse playoff team. Their young position guys are exciting, but do they have the pitching to make it to the PS?

I wouldn't project them as a top six team in the NL. They're more of an interesting long shot than a team I'd pick to make the playoffs. The bullpen's still rough, and they're counting on Bumgarner and Davies to shoulder some innings early while they break in some of the pitching prospects

Alright that's all I've got time for tonight. Have to write up that Will Benson trade

Thanks for the questions. I'll do another chat on Friday exclusive to Front Office subscribers, where I can get to a significantly higher percentage of questions in the queue
7:07
Steve and I also do weekly analysis posts for Front Office on various topics. I looked at a handful of potential extension candidates for the Reds this week considering their long-term payroll flexibility and number of interesting pre-arb players
