That's not my job! Literally not my job at all.

9:31

You shouldn't really care what I think. You should care that I pay very close attention to the baseball reporting world and do a solid job of putting information in proper context.

But it's also fun to just talk about baseball, so here we are, chatting.

Does King Felix fit on any teams Big League roster?

Jeffrey Todd

9:32

Non-roster invite

Is Price good enough that anybody should be trying to trade for him? Coming off a really rough year...on the other hand, a bigger park and a great defense (LAA) could help.

Jeffrey Todd

9:34

I don't think it was really rough, on the whole. He had solid enough results given the offensive explosion. And peripherals suggested he was better than his ERA. I wouldn't expect a team to just take over his contract, but I'd prefer him to ... I don't know, Dallas Keuchel, who just got 3/55.5

Mark Turner

9:34

extend ken giles right?

Jeffrey Todd

9:34

Still think trade

Dog named Su

There’s kinda a lotta free agents unsigned

Jeffrey Todd

9:35

By volume, yes, but the biggest impact is gone.

But there are a lot of notable, solid guys, for sure.

Philip J Fry

9:36

JTR get extended or does he hit free agency?

Jeffrey Todd

9:36

I'd guess extension.

Nicholas

9:37

What are the chances the White Sox making postseason next season.

Jeffrey Todd

9:37

40/60?

Not an easy wild card path.

Jorge

9:38

When I post a question and it isn’t answered right away, is there a point when it is clear you won’t answer it? In other words, are you scrolling questions and only looking at the latest questions posted such that I should know that my question isn’t going to be answered?

Jeffrey Todd

9:39

Not necessarily ... I kind of skip ahead at times. I wish I could do it in an orderly way but it's just not possible. Waaaaaayyyy too many questions to look at them all and I have to try to answer what I can in a timely manner.

Jim

9:39

Will Myers on Padres roster opening day?

Jeffrey Todd

9:39

I'd guess not. But it's hardly certain.

Justin

9:39

If you were Ross Atkins ... and you're not, but if you were, would you still try to track down another starter? Ross Atkins is gm of blue Jay's.

Jeffrey Todd

9:40

Thank you, Justin, for those provisos. I -- Jeff, not Ross -- would actually turn my focus to achieving upside on the position-player side, digging up interesting relief arms, exploring creative trades, etc.

Brad

9:41

Wait wait wait Barnhart is coming open?

Jeffrey Todd

9:41

There has been chatter about the Reds upgrading behind the plate for a long time. I was just referencing that.

Twins, not twinkies.

9:42

WHAT in the world are the twins doing? They said they’d get major pitching once the window was open. Yet here we are with nothing

Jeffrey Todd

9:42

Well they did get nice buys on Pineda and Odo. But ... yeah, pickings now slim.
