By just publishing this question we have probably started a rumor, Ben.
Chris
4:07
Is it me or do the matlins look somewhat competitive?
Jeffrey Todd
4:08
They are going to win some games, but that is about as bad as a major league roster gets. Especially with Realmuto and Straily on the DL.
Stearns, David Stearns

What type of prospect could I get for $6 Million in international signing pool allocation?
Jeffrey Todd
4:09
Can't trade it all in one chunk b/c other teams are capped at acquiring 50% of their original pool. (Pretty sure on the details there but I guess that could be slightly off.)
Anthony

Had a chance to listen to Feinsand's EA podcasts? I think they're really good insights into front office backgrounds/ perspectives
Jeffrey Todd
4:10
I have listened to several and we have linked to them as well. Always nice to hear the execs on longer chats b/c they ultimately let their guard down a bit on some things.

Maybe you should consider being on time for once. Do you get to show up whenever you feel like it at your regular job?
Jeffrey Todd
4:10
This ... is my job.
4:11
I was writing on the site before launching the chat, so ...
Since we are always managing site coverage -- to make sure we bring you the news promptly! -- it'll always be harder to have perfect attendance for the chats.
4:13
Going to grab a couple more questions here and then I have to run. I'd like to stick around longer but I need to relieve my wife of child watching duties (they are on spring break).
You bet

Chat's are great ignore the trolls
Jeffrey Todd
4:14
Thanks! But sometimes it's more fun to engage the haters a bit. On occasion we all learn something.
Jeremy

Should I pretend I didn't predict the Phillies would make the playoffs?
Jeffrey Todd
4:14
If at all possible, yeah, because it wasn't a great prediction from the get-go.
Mike

Jay Bruce as a regular 1B seems to make a lot of sense, doesn't it?
Jeffrey Todd
4:15
It may, but I don't think they are going to win any fans among veteran players by just dumping Gonzalez right now.
God
4:15
Do I exist?
Jeffrey Todd
4:16
You must be looking for our exclusive Friday chats, when we discuss such matters.
4:17
But if there's a god, would he or she have allowed Mike Moustakas to only get a one-year deal? Or for awesome pitching prospects to get hurt all the time? I don't know, seems suspect.

That's just an excuse for being lazy.....
Jeffrey Todd

Your comment suggests you have never written or edited professionally. It is unavoidable.
4:18
Some folks are better or worse at preventing typos and similar errors, of course, but there is simply no way for a human to avoid any such mistakes at all times.

Jeff, I’m baffled at all of the bizarre disrespect being thrown your way. I’ve followed this site since it’s inception. Nothing is ever perfect, but you kick ass. Keep it up and disregard the inane complainers.
Jeffrey Todd
4:19
Take that, No Editor!!!

If you didn’t work for MLBTR your job would be.....
Jeffrey Todd

Unhappy lawyer, until I inevitably was fired for typos.
4:20
Though I guess I could just throw a paralegal or junior associate under the bus in that case.

Eaton “tweaked” his left ankle on slide into plate. X-rays negative. Took him out as precaution.
Good news for Nats

Geesh! I was just trolling you Jeff, no need for the explanation ;)
Jeffrey Todd
4:20
I don't really think most of the critiques are as stringent as they can be presented.
Meat Puppets
4:20
Wow - you are getting some rather heavy trolling action today. These idiots need to relax.
Jeffrey Todd
4:21
It's typical ... I just put through some of the comments.

When you're late, you should refund everybody's money.
Jeffrey Todd
4:21
Done.
Benji

How do the Red Sox solve their middle relief problem?
Jeffrey Todd
4:22
That's what the trade deadline is for.
BASEBALL SITE?
4:22
Can you actually answer some baseball related inquiries?
