Sometimes, when you’re a baseball player itching for spring training to arrive, you have some extra time on your hands. Such was the case with Tyler Anderson of the Colorado Rockies on Thursday.

Anderson, who went 5-6 with a 3.54 ERA in 19 starts during his rookie season with Colorado in 2016, took to Twitter to answer some questions from fans on Thursday. Included in the discussion were questions and answers on who was the best golfer on the team, what it’s like to play with Nolan Arenado and his feelings about the wave in Major League stadiums.

First, let’s get to the important question … what TV show would Anderson likely binge on watching?

On the subject of golf, Anderson believes fellow pitcher Chad Qualls thinks he may be the best on the links. It also sounds like, with the departure of Mark Reynolds, there could be quite a competition for golf superiority this season.

Anderson and the rest of Colorado’s pitchers benefit by having the game’s finest defensive third baseman on their team. So what’s it like to know Arenado is patrolling the hot corner?

And perhaps the most important question asked of the day … and a very wise answer from the 27-year-old southpaw.

You are wise beyond your years, Mr. Anderson.
