yeah jeets, yeah jeets
7:35
Is Jeter going to go into the HOF unanimously?
Connor Byrne
7:36
You're either a HOFer or you're not. I can't stand this unanimous crap (not picking on you, but the voters who decide to dissent for the sake of it).
Carlos Martinez
7:37
Do I hold very much trade value or does last year out weight my stuff?
Connor Byrne
7:37
Yes, you're a really good pitcher (either a reliever or starter) who's in his 20s and signed to a very reasonable deal. (Just looked up C-Mart's birthday and it's the same as mine!)
7:38
I'm older, though. Anyway...
Steve A
7:39
Where does Bryant end up?
Connor Byrne
7:39
I can't give a decent answer until the arbitor decided on service time.
Joe Buck
7:40
Derrick Henry vs. Aaron Judge, who wins?
Connor Byrne
7:40
If Derrick Henry ran directly into Aaron Judge at full speed, there'd probably be an earthquake
Philliefollower
7:41
Are the Phillies strictly in dumpster diving mode now?
Connor Byrne
7:41
They still need at least one more starter. Problem is there aren't many who are clearly out there (same issue for the Angels).
Ted Simmons
7:42
How many times does a catcher have to hit above .300 to be considered a good hitter?  Buster said Yadi wasn’t an offensive asset in his prime.
Connor Byrne
7:42
If he really said that, he should feel bad
THE ARBITER
7:42
I have made my decision. I’m just proofrreadin
Connor Byrne
7:42
I'm normally a good spellor
Chop
7:43
Bryant is still gonna still have two years of control left. Pretty much everyone agrees. Why don’t you just answer Steve A’s question?
Connor Byrne
7:43
OK, fine. The Cubs.
Dixon
7:43
Any truth that Trade Rumors was bought and will be a pay site?
Connor Byrne
7:44
We were bought by Bigfoot and will be charging $50 a month.
Rick Hahn
7:44
Do I really need to do anything else?
Connor Byrne
7:44
Some bullpen help could be in order for the White Sox, who have clearly made strides this winter.
Carlos Beltran
7:45
How do you think I do as a manger? 1st year prediction?
Connor Byrne
7:45
Well, if you don't get fired by your first game, 87-75
Jeff Bridich
7:46
Should I get Jonathan Lucroy again?
Connor Byrne
7:46
Lucroy's not very good anymore, but the Rockies do still carry a torch for him, it seems, and their catching situation was a disaster last season. So, it's quite possible.
Jerry Reinsdorf
7:47
I won't pay $50 a month for this!
Connor Byrne
7:48
Funny, Jerry, because the other cheap Chicago baseball owner said the same thing (at least JR's spending this winter, to his credit)
Why Do the Birds Go on Singing?
7:48
Give me one good reason why, as an Astros fan, I should go on
Connor Byrne
7:48
Your team's still loaded with talent.
Mitch Moreland
7:49
How did Smoak and Thames get signed before me? Who’s signing me?
Connor Byrne
7:49
Because they're better and have higher upside. No clue who's signing you, but you may have to settle for a minors deal.
David Sterns
7:50
Y am I not being active.
Connor Byrne
7:51
I think the Brewers have been pretty active. They just aren't willing to spend much, which isn't Stearns' fault.
wtfdaemon
7:52
Whoa, you actually thought Luhnow and Hinch weren't getting this level of punishment?  The rest of the country (and baseball fans) think the Astros were given a stunningly light penalty for this type of blatant cheating, post-warning.  There's no way to spin this other than game-breaking cheating that cost other teams championships.  The right call by the gutless commish would've been lifetime suspensions for Luhnow, Hinch and Cora and a way harsher loss of draft picks and cap space, followed by a expungement of their title.
Connor Byrne
7:53
I'm just surprised to see a commish go to this extent (and a team to subsequently fire the offenders). I was apparently too conservative with my expectations.
Bernie Brewer
7:53
What happens to Ryan Braun after this season?
Connor Byrne
7:54
Brewers buy him out, he signs somewhere (probably an AL team) for a somewhat modest sum, but Braun can still hit
Three Rivers Sadium
7:54
Do You Remember, the 21st Night of September, Mr. (Earth Wind &) Byrne?? Would Russell Martin be a good fit for the Buccos?
Connor Byrne
7:55
I like the idea of Russ leading a rebuilding team's clubhouse
Joey Cora of the Red Sox
7:55
Why would the Red Sox be penalized for their manager's bad behavior with another team?
