Has to be in the top 5. By the time I realized he had surpassed 30 HR, he was almost to 40.

Where does McCann get traded to this off-season?

I'm sure the Braves will be in the mix but I think he'd be a better fit in the AL, where he can DH occasionally. Lots of teams will likely be looking for an upgrade. Astros, White Sox, O's, Twins.

How is it that the O's ruin every pitching prospect they have/had?

Jason Martinez

Bold prediction. Bundy and Gausman will be a very effective 1-2 punch in 2017. I'm also predicting that Brian Matusz has a Rich Hill-like resurrection as a starting pitcher after returning to Baltimore.

FYI - I'm joking about Matusz. Not about Bundy/Gausman.

Who are 1 or 2 "non-top 100 prospects" preseason who have jumped the highest this season?

Jason Martinez

Hard to tell but I use my power rankings as a reference because they're based on performance, age, level. This list shows which prospects weren't Top 10 prospects in their organization before the season ... http://www.rosterresource.com/milb-top-200-power-rankings-2016/

Can the Dodgers get past the first round of the playoffs this year? What does their post season rotation look like?

Jason Martinez

5:49

Yep. Kershaw, Maeda, Hill, Kazmir. If one of those guys is hurt, I think they have some decent options (Stripling, Urias, De Leon, Stewart).

Hector Neris for Yasiel Puig

Jason Martinez

It won't hurt to ask but I think the Dodgers will want more than a reliever with one good year under his belt.

5:51

Got to run. Thanks for chatting! Same time and place next week.
