What is the most common reason for you to not answer a question?

Connor Byrne

8:11

Either I simply don't see it or I've answered it before

Alfonzo

8:12

Archer to the Angels

Connor Byrne

8:12

OK, but the Angels would still need a Cole/Strasburg type as well

Can you see this?

8:13

Will the padres land a tor pitcher this offseason?

Connor Byrne

8:13

They'll improve their rotation, but how many top-level guys are actually out there aside from Cole, Strasburg and maybe Ryu? Not many.

Twins

8:14

Ryu or Bumgarner the better deal?

Connor Byrne

8:14

I'd probably rather have Ryu. He'll get less and I think he's better pound for pound.

Tim

8:15

How much would it take to get Ryu? 3 and $60 million?

Connor Byrne

8:15

Something in that vicinity. We've got him at 3/54, I believe

One more thing: QO for MadBum. Not the case for Ryu.

Tim

8:16

Was that a fat joke about Ryu ;)

Connor Byrne

8:16

I knew I'd regret that choice of words. No, it wasn't.

8:16

Most overrated player today?

Connor Byrne

8:16

Hosmer

Mike78

8:18

Most underrated player

Connor Byrne

8:18

Do enough people know how good Ketel Marte is?

Dodger Blue

8:18

Any ETA on the Dodgers off-season outlook?

Connor Byrne

8:18

That's my responsibility. It'll be up this week.

wiffle ball star

8:18

Why don't the Tigers unload Boyd while pitchers are bringing a premium, he's no stud.

Connor Byrne

8:19

They should do it this offseason.

Norm MacDonald

8:19

If Bill Gates offers you $10 and a Big Mac would you end the chat?

Connor Byrne

8:19

Maybe if the great Norm MacDonald were to shake my hand, I'd end it. Big Norm fan here.

Shaun

8:20

Nobody overrated hosmer anymore. Harper is the most overrated player in baseball. He’s a good player but nowhere near the level he’s constantly lauded to be at.

Connor Byrne

8:20

Fair enough, but I disagree. A lot of the big media types still seem to think Hosmer is something special. At least Harper's valuable.

Worked with Norm

8:21

You’ll be happy to know he’s a great guy.

Connor Byrne

8:21

This doesn't surprise me.

Norm MacDonald

8:22

I don't want you to end it. I want to know who I should bet on getting Josh Donaldson?

Connor Byrne

8:22

Haven't you already lost a lot of money gambling, Norm? In any case, I'm going down w/ the ship on the Rangers

Glenn Quagmire

8:22

What's the worst sports movie you've seen?

Connor Byrne

8:23

"The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia" Phenomenon comes to mind

punch me in the face for remembering the title

SteveB

8:23

The day after the chat do you read through all the questions you didn't get to?

Connor Byrne

8:24

No. Not sure that's even doable.

Lunar verLander

8:24

I feel like when a movie title has that many words, it's bound to be...not great...

Connor Byrne

8:24

I feel like you're probably right

Bargain shoppers

8:24

Are the Brewers going to keep their trend going of signing guys let to short term deals under expected value? Makes for a long winter as a Brewers fan.

Connor Byrne

8:25

Probably. No real reason to expect they'll deviate from that.

Nellie Fox

8:25

Any room for a 5 homer .400+ obp anymore?

Connor Byrne

8:25

There's always room for a .400 OBP
