dedicated to the baby child, or his song dedicated to me I guess.

Masterson gonna pitch in majors this year, and will he have any value at all?

Eno Sarris

12:00

Doubt it.

Chad

12:00

Floyd or Sanchez get the 5th spot? I can see arguments for both

Eno Sarris

12:01

Sanchez. If you put him back in the pen one more time it's the last time.

How nervous are you about Grandal's injury?

Eno Sarris

12:01

Fairly nervous.

Ryan

This seems to be a weekly question in your chats, so why not keep the train going. Is Eno still 100% on board with Sam Dyson becoming the new closer for Texas?

Eno Sarris

12:01

Yes. At least eventually. Zero confidence in Tolleson.

I'm working off-site today and am in an office where everyone can see my screen. Say hi to all the people, Eno.

Eno Sarris

12:01

FART!

Jays Fan II

12:01

The Jays are going to eat it with the fans if both Bautista and Encarnacion leave next year. I'm a die hard Jays fan, yet I can't shake the notion that they might be right in refusing to offer either player the contract they're seeking. Do you think it would be wise for the Jays to re-sign both, keep one, or let both go?

Eno Sarris

12:02

If they can get a good number on Bautista, the fans seem to like him more and he seems more dedicated to his fitness and health. Edwin makes me a bit nervous even though he's younger.

How do you feel about the Stars and Scrubs approach in roto?

Eno Sarris

12:03

Hopefully that things' not fully operational. Also, hopefully you're in a shallow league. Hate it in onlies.

George is Curious

The first American League rookie OF to be called up this season and make an impact will be ____________?

Eno Sarris

12:03

Tyler Naquin.

Anthony Rendon... overrated based on a 2014 he can't repeat? Or great bargain likely to rebound this season?

Eno Sarris

12:03

Decent bargain. The next healthy year will be a monster.

Twinkies Rock

I realize that Joe Mauer is on the downside of his career, but isn't it fairly possible that he's being on the level when it comes to having blurred vision last year due to his concussion? I know that injuries will play a factor, but couldn't Mauer return to at least something around a .285 AVG?

Eno Sarris

12:03

Empty OBP/AVG possible for him, yes.

Hi Eno, I drafted last weekend in a 6x6 (traditional + K/9) 12 team league, and my starting pitchers wound up as Kluber, Salazar, Iglesias, Samardzija, Quintana, Verlander, and Gausman. Am I banking too much on upside/bounceback candidates?

Eno Sarris

12:05

Samardzija, let me get out in front of this one. By Zimmerman's spread sheet, he's the same. Brooks has him at 94, which is 93, which is down a bit. I've been watching and have only seen 92s. Which might have been cutters, I guess, but even if they were cutters, that sucks, because his cutter sucks and he got whooped last year.

(with more cutters)

As for your team, I actually like it enough, though in K9 I take my starters way earlier than usual because most of my sleepers are like 6-7K9 pitchability types.

And not much to be done with The Shark now but chuck and duck (which seems to be what he's doing).

Brian

12:05

Piscotty and Grichuk. Do you see both or either of them getting 600 PAs this season?

Eno Sarris

12:06

Grichuk closer because he can play center.

Tuna

12:06

This year's 2nd-4th round pick (12 teams) that performs like a 1st? Last year you had Donaldson and Arenado pegged perfectly.

Eno Sarris

12:06

I'm FEELING Maikel Franco.

Yesterday I hit a lude with a 121 mph exit velocity but did i get an article?

adam

where are all the white guy dreads in baseball?

Eno Sarris

12:07

John Jaso interlude.

Tom

12:07

What is Adam Conley's long-term upside in dynasty?

Eno Sarris

12:08

Let's see. He's at 93 or so this spring, which is plus velocity. Has a great changeup but the breaker lags behind. Lefty, change-first, good command, velocity coming back... Cole Hamels is the very best he can be. I know there are people that say that Conley is a reliever, so that's your basement. A lefty Ian Kennedy is an interesting in between, but I believe in Conley's velocity coming back.

Jack

12:09

Rank for keeper leagues: Eickhoff, Robbie Ray, Rubby, Bassitt, Shane Greene, Aaron Sanchez

Eno Sarris

12:09

Eickhoff, Rubby, Sanchez, Ray, Bassitt.

Miketron

12:09

Last keeper in my AL-only Gausman or Schoop? I feel like the negative news on Gaus gives me a better chance of re-drafting him if I want.

Eno Sarris

12:09

Schoop because second base in AL sucks bad.
