And, without ragging on anyone in particular, I think there are certainly some writers who think that teams evaluate players the same way they did 10 years ago

Hey Dan, you should do one of those aged pictures for your chat avatar.

Whaddya call this one! I'm 42!

There were a bunch of writers who really thought J.D. Martinez was going to get $180-$200 million from a team back when he was a FA

Maybe I'll just go with the Donald Troump avatar.

What's the difference between lightning round chat and regular chat?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

In the Lightning Round, I have to answer *any* question, no matter how stupid, or no matter how little I know the answer, with the exception of a few categories (extremely personal, work-related, politics)

According to ZIPS, how much of an improvement is the Sox move from Colome to Hendriks?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

about 0.9 wins

why would a person say about 0.9? WTF Dan?

How's your 3080????!!!!

Dan Szymborski

1:02

Got the notice from Newegg that it shipped. So it could still technically end up the UPS driver's RTX 3080.

Dan Szymborski

No, I still have a goatee. That picture is like two or three months old

No changes in appearance since

When are the ZiPS bell curve projections getting released?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

We're still figuring out what to do/how to present the percentiles

And there's no bell curve! ZiPS does not assume a distribution.

Is non-parametric

Any thoughts on mlb.com's WS predictions for the next ten years?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

It's a silly exercise of course, but it was fun and it wasn't the craziest thing I've read

When do we see Adley?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

He pretty much has to make an appearance in MLB sometime in 2021 unless he's a disaster in the minors

Eric

whats your burrito order Dan?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

I rarely order burritos. Beans tend to disagree with me. I'm a taco guy.

OK, we're past one

Those how found this chat and helped make this one of the weirdest ever, you have my thanks!

1:09

Hopefully we'll be working correctly next week!
