Votto

Does my home run binge including one over 113 MPH exit velo, show I still have life in my bat, or am I still mostly cooked?
Connor Byrne
2:18
There's definitely life left in the bat, and you know Votto's going to work extremely hard in the offseason to right himself
Votto's wOBA: .329. Votto's xwOBA: .374
I'm not burying that guy
Joshua

What do you see the Nats doing with Kieboom, Garcia, and a returning Castro next year? Could you see one of them on the trade block? Thanks.
Connor Byrne
2:20
Castro's the most expendable. He's an average player in his 30s. Way too soon to sell low on a player like Kieboom
Marlin Man
2:21
Your honest opinion, do the Marlins make the playoffs? Also is Don Mattingly the NL manager of the year?
Connor Byrne
2:21
I'll say yes to both. The answer should be yes for Mattingly no matter what.
well, not no matter what
but right now, yes
Dylan
2:22
What’s your take on Austin Nola? Legit player who broke out later in career or someone who will fizzle out? Also, the pads have Campusano waiting in the wings
Connor Byrne
2:23
I think he's a legitimately useful player who it seems had to wait too long to get a chance
Dylan
2:23
Mattingly over Tingler?
Connor Byrne
2:24
Did anyone think the Padres would be bottom feeders, though? I figured they'd compete for a playoff spot, and it seems many others did too. Granted, few if anyone thought they'd be this good, so Tingler's a legit candidate.
queuebd
2:24
:o not Kapler?
Connor Byrne
2:24
Another possibility, but I'm taking Mattingly for now
Darrell
2:25
Have you ever seen a worse offensive outfield than the Cardinals are parading out there?  Is it a complete team re-build when you add in Matt Carpenters continual problems?
Connor Byrne
2:26
It's pretty bad, but I'm confident there have been worse. They seem oddly fond of Rangel Ravelo.
Also, no, I don't think it's a complete team rebuild.
2:27
Disappointing year so far, but they got ravaged by the coronavirus earlier and are still in the hunt
Zach
2:27
As an A's fan, I'd like to see La Stella stay in the green and gold next year.   What type of contract would you say he will get on the FA market?
Connor Byrne
2:28
off the very top of my head, maybe something in the 2/10-12 range.
Mr met
2:28
Do the owners approve Steve Cohen bid to by the Mets?
Connor Byrne
2:28
I don't know why they wouldn't
Reds Fan 101
2:29
Would Bauer take 3yr/$60M or would he walk for more years?
Connor Byrne
2:29
Well, it seems like he wants fewer years, but I don't think 3/60 would get it done either way
Guest
2:29
what return do the Pirates receive for Josh Bell this offseason?
Connor Byrne
2:30
A relatively weak one with the season he's having. I'd keep him from the Pirates' standpoint, hope he bounces back, and then re-evaluate
He's a Boras client, though, so he's not long for Pittsburgh
Tribe Time
2:30
Indians are in Purgatory.  Time to tear it all down?
Connor Byrne
2:31
I don't think Lindor will be there next season, but I'm not sure that means "tear it all down." I know they've been awful of late, but they're still a pretty good team.
Bill
2:32
Voit for MVP??
Connor Byrne
2:32
No, but he continues to be an incredible find for NYY
Mitch Haniger
2:32
Are the Mariners done waiting for me to get healthy with our suddenly impressive outfield options? Are Mallex Smith and I in new uniforms next year?
Connor Byrne
2:32
Mallex was outrighted and will likely leave as a free agent in the offseason. This isn't the time to give up on Haniger, though.
Tribe Time
2:33
Indians bring back Kluber on a 1/$10
Connor Byrne
2:34
Ehh, not sure Kluber's the guy to spend $10MM on from the small-budget Indians' POV. Their rotation's not exactly a problem with Bieber, Civale, Plesac, Carrasco and McKenzie sticking around
MVP
2:34
Abreu or Anderson?
Connor Byrne
2:34
Anderson is making a serious run
2:35
not that Abreu hasn't been great, but I'd rather have the big-hitting shortstop than the big-hitting 1B
