any plans for more advanced stats to be available in DMB program? Thanks

Dan Szymborski

12:26

No idea, would have to ask the DMB guys!

Big Joey

12:26

Does Gerrit Cole take yet another step forward this year? Is he the next Scherzer?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I think two steps forward of that magnitude would be damned hard.

Birddog

12:26

Doesn't Adam Jones and the Giants make sense at this point? Other than the Braves, Blue Jays, and Indians, where else may he land?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Not particularly. Jones isn't really a CF and Oracle Park has a BIG frigging outfield

12:27

In fact, I think SF would be one of the worst destinations for Jones.

He'd be more useful somewhere like Cleveland

12:28

Or Colorado

But we know why Colorado won't happen...

Dan

12:29

What would a reasonable return be for Joc Pederson from the Braves?

Gohara?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

I think Gohara's a bit steep

Though I like Gohara, so maybe I'm biased

12:30

Maybe someone like Kyle Muller?

Big Joey

12:30

Are you worried about Jose Ramirez's 2nd half?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

Rebbie

12:30

Any chance the Rangers are the mystery team for Machado?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

Long shot.

Paul

12:30

Is this the right time for the Padres to make a "big splash"? Or should they wait for some ML production from their prospects?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

If it's a true big splash, like a Machado or Harper, then yeah, you can't get those guys at any old time

But if big splash means just a few mid-market guys, meh.

Chris

12:31

Would you trade senzel?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

No.

12:32

Though you could make the argument that the Reds have haplessly got themselves pot committed for 2019.

12:33

I think they've hot-shot themselves to an 80-win-ish team, so there's no value to pushing the rest of the chips

12:34

They've put themselves in a position where to actually finish this OMG LETS GO FOR IT IN 2019, they're practically forced to either trade a few actual crown jewels

Or sit back and watch the rotation improve to mediocre, Puig be overrated, and Kemp getting way too many ABs and canceling out the benefit

12:35

I'm not convinced that a 3B-LF-RF combination of Suarez-Kemp-Puig is actually an improvement on Senzel-Suarez-Winker.

12:36

Now, they could play Winker over Kemp, but I'm not sure they have the guts to do that

druidiful

12:36

Are we having a lighting round this week?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

Sure

Mandy is 92% Fresh

12:36

Is this is the most Padres talk since Kurt Bevacqua?

12:37

Who ends up as the Royals closer? Why, yes, this is a vital question.

Dan Szymborski

12:37

I would imagine Peralta

Big Joey

12:37

Does Jesse Winker get full playing time? I love his plate skills

Dan Szymborski

12:37

I hope so, but the Reds are close to the Rockies than the Astros/Indians in philosophy

Billy Boy

12:37

It’s 2019. Nobody cares about OPS and ERA+
