If anyone from a younger and less wise generation is reading, watch Office Space and abide by its teachings.

Should the Rox have sold high on me when they had the chance?
Jeffrey Todd
3:09
No. They needed a quality young SS more than most any other team in baseball.
Alex Cobb
3:10
4/48?  You guys are way too low on me.  I will score 5/65 to 5/70, easy.  I was a near ace before my arm injury, and i came back nicely last year and showed i am fully healthy.
Jeffrey Todd

There's a little more earning upside there than we predicted. We shall see.
3:11
By that, I mean to say that we can imagine him earning more than the number we landed on. Not saying there was anything wrong (in my view) with the number we chose.
Every guy has a reasonable range and in most cases it is fairly wide.

Will Matt Carpenter be a cardinals come opening day?
Jeffrey Todd
3:12
I'm not sure why he wouldn't be. Guy can still rake. Not like they are going to improve at first base without a huge commitment to another player.

Is Dom Smith the answer @ 1B for the Mets? A lot of people are down on him after his cup of coffee last year
Jeffrey Todd
3:13
Not sure, but I have a tough time seeing the Mets making a long-term commitment to another left-handed hitter that only plays first base, just b/c he didn't rake upon coming to the majors.
3:14
Maybe all the run-up to his promotion was bluster, but they have always seemed to be pretty high on him. And it isn't like he hasn't shown anything in the upper minors.
Dodgers Fan
3:15
Scott Kazmir and AGONZ are ?. What becomes of them going into spring training?
Jeffrey Todd
3:15
I have no idea. Dodgers always figure something out though.
Predict-A-Ball
3:16
In 2014, the Sports Illustrated writer predicted the Astros as 2017 champs and was correct.  You're given the opportunity now to predict for 2020.  Who's on your cover as 2020 champs?
Jeffrey Todd
3:17
I would recommend the Dodgers or Yankees, b/c they have very good young talent and insane amounts of money. But if I was going to go out on a limb with a rebuilding team, I'd take the Phillies, b/c they have good young talent and nearly-as-insane amounts of money but people seem to overlook that.
Okay couple more and I have to take my daughter to karate.
3:18
Never thought we'd be a karate family, but the child is pretty awesome at it.

How much of a ‘chunk’ of next season is Jimmy Nelson expected to actually miss?  Is there any estimate out there?  Are we thinking a return by the trade deadline could be the best case scenario?
Jeffrey Todd
3:19
Haven't seen a clear timeline. Think it's the kind of thing that is pretty open-ended, unfortunately.
Grand Theft Votto

Surprise trade of the offseason; Freddie Freeman to the Cardinals for Alex Reyes, Randal Grichuk, Sandy Alcantara.
Jeffrey Todd
3:20
The Braves are going to have a hard time doing something like this when the FO is unsettled. And pitching it to fans after all that has gone on? In the second year of the ballpark? etc ... oof. I don't see this. Also don't think post-TJ Reyes is enough, even if there's still plenty of hope he'll be awesome.
Abraham
3:20
Hey what's up Jeff, Abraham from Ukraine. What kind of package do the angles need for Gordon or Ceaser Hernandez?
Jeffrey Todd
3:21
Ukraine! Nice, definitely a new country to receive a question from (at least so far as I have been made aware).
I still see Dee as a near-even-value asset, so I don't think it should require all that much. But perhaps the market feels differently.
3:22
Hernandez is cheaper and more flexible, so I'd expect it to hurt a little bit to get him. Phillies also will realize that he could be a very useful utility guy for them even if they end up with a different starting MI duo. Not sure on specifics, but I think he'll cost a bit.
Loren
3:22
Does Yangervis Solarte have much of a trade market? What could the Padres reasonably get for him?
Jeffrey Todd
3:23
Yes, but I suspect he'll be seen more as a solid alternative to other players. Don't expect he'll command a huge return.
The Beard
3:24
Which beard, sir? Dallas Keuchel, Justin Turner, Jeff Todd, Charlie Blackmon.
Jeffrey Todd
3:24
If I were growing for show like they are, I'd like my chances just fine. Mine is Danny Espinosa-esque in its gnarliness. Big upside.
Dave S
3:25
Any chance the rumors of a Heyward for Shark/Melancon trade has wheels?
Jeffrey Todd
3:25
I really don't see it. And more importantly, neither do plugged in local media members.
Okay folks I do have to run unfortunately.
Wish I could stay longer today but we can try for a longer session soon.
3:26
Thanks  as always!
