AL West Live Chat: Friday, March 13th Noon PDT

That's lunch hour on the west coast and 3pm on the east coast, or the hour before you leave work for an early Friday happy hour. We've got a stacked lineup for this one, yet again, although the host is kind of lame:
- Matthew Carruth from Lookout Landing.
- Adam Morris from Lone Star Ball.
- Graham Goldbeck from right here and Oaktown A's.
- Jim Gardner from The Halo Is Lit and Who's the Closer (WiHaloFan over at Halos Heaven).
- Eric Seidman from everywhere, like Fangraphs, THT, and BPro.
Four teams, five really smart baseball fans, and a Friday afternoon. Be there five minutes ahead of time to get your questions first in line. And we'll bring back the always-popular "which manager would win in a fight" poll question. (Winners so far are Lou Piniella and Jerry Manuel.)
Chat window after the jump -- put in your email address for a pre-chat reminder.

Jerry Manuel only wins because he carries a knife with him to cut people
Let Manuel keep his knife and give Manny Acta a bat and let’s see a real battle.

To see Matthew's obvious bias against the Halos in action.

To. . . talk about baseball? For fans of baseball teams to ask smart baseball people about their teams?

I don’t mean the chat. I mean the whole division.

To play baseball games to entertain people so money can be made?

Yes because the NL West is just absolutely loaded.

It is, or haven’t you heard of Brian Bocock yet?

Better jump on the Bocock Rocket to stardom now before it’s too late!

Any sort of schedule for upcoming chats? I’m itching for some hot NL West action.

Eh, figured we'd drop that one this year.
The NL West is the new NL West.
No, no dates yet. Coordinating schedules with people.

Fine. I’ll just have to flood the AL West chat with questions then.

The order will be AL Central, AL East, NL West to coordinate with Erik's prospect series.

Kind of a random question
but how many wins does a replacement level team win in the AL/NL? Does it change per year?

I come in here and there's 20 comments for a chat that hasn't even happened!?
I think we can already declare this one a rousing success.

My bold prediction in the chat will be that all four teams make the playoffs.

Seidman?
You’re letting an amateur like Seidman into one of these chats?

How did 38% of this chat think Syracuse is going to miss the tournament?

That thing is a beating to read
Next time, can you guys try answering the questions or at least wait to post another question after everyone’s done talking about it?
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Probably would be difficult due to time constraints
but yeah, that was rough.
Entertaining though, thanks!
