When does Nick Markakis stop hitting?
Travis Sawchik
12:51
Nick Markakis questions are creeping back into this chat. Why? He has a 170 wRC+.

Greinke still has amazing K-BB and FIP, but the drop in Velo "seems" to validate the ERA jump. Do you think his ERA finishes closer to his low-3s FIP or his current 4.10 ERA?
Travis Sawchik
12:51
Greinke is still one of the better pitchers in the game with diminished velo, but it's dropped him from the elite tier

I hereby submit that the Yankees' current 16-2 is more impressive than the Sox's earlier 17-2 based on strength of competition (projected .551 combiend WPCT), not to mentioned the zero offdays and criss-crossing the country.
Travis Sawchik
12:52
The Yankees are who we thought they were

Let us discuss Trout
Travis Sawchik
12:53
3 WAR and it's May 7!
12:54
That 15-win season is going to be something
Trout keeps getting better. I mean a 93% zone contact rate and career-low 5.5 swinging strike rate is remarkable given his power and quality of batted balls

Richard Rodriguez is dealing. What's up with that?
Travis Sawchik
12:56
Great question
Spicy Boy
12:56
Um how was Ubaldo projected for 1.7 WAR?
Travis Sawchik
12:56
That's another great question
Dan Szymborski

If Nick Markakis makes the all star team, do I have to resign?
Travis Sawchik
12:56
Yes

Vladdy jr... mlb eta?
Travis Sawchik
12:57
.398/.455/.624 slash in the Eastern League says 'yes'
aaron hicks
12:58
what's wrong with me this year?  any chance at a rebound?
Travis Sawchik
12:59
I'll take the switch-hitting CF with a 15.4% BB rate and 22% Krate
Looks like Hicks is retaining some of the skill growth from last season

Speaking of SF ... Samardzija's diminished velocity is (a) still hurt, (b) still getting warmed up having no real spring training, or (c) too old + too many hurts = just doesn't have it anymore ?
Travis Sawchik
That's kind of scary
Can he still run routes like he did at Notre Dame?
Big Joe Mufferaw

Can the yankees sign Harper and fit him in the Line up? (Gardner is an FA)
Travis Sawchik
1:01
There's a way to fit Bryce Harper in every MLB lineup
He could play CF in Yankee II

Do you have any concern that the American League is a lot more overpowered than the National League? The four best teams are arguably in the AL (Unless you feel strongly about Arizona)
Travis Sawchik
1:02
The AL does seem to be shaping up as a league with little parity. And if you're concerned about a greater divide between the Haves and Have Nots, it's worth paying attention to
Caleb Smith

Can i keep this up?
Travis Sawchik
1:04
To a degree, yes
CamdenWarehouse

Will teams still overpay for rental position players at the deadline or that a thing of the past?
Travis Sawchik
1:04
I suspect we're going to see teams overpaying for relief help

Is the Jays bullpen for real? Are they going to be that good for that long, or is it just a matter of time with the rotation slowly turning into hot butter?
Travis Sawchik
1:05
The Blue Jays could be for real but still finish 15 games out of first place. They are in the wrong division, obviously
Tristan
1:07
Looking at a couple of struggling starters. Who do you like more, going forward - Danny Duffy or Luis Castillo? I worry that the Reds may send Castillo down when Disco gets healthy...
Travis Sawchik
1:07
Two of the biggest disappointments to date. But they are each decent buy low opps
Larry Williams
1:08
Machado is a top five player again, right?
Travis Sawchik
1:08
A SS/3B with a 177 wRC+? Yep
