Would any team look at Seung Hwan Oh for 2 years/8m?
AvatarDan Szymborski

They should
Re: Collusion
3:01
This feels like a information disparity - the owners have better information about the players (aging curves etc) than the players or their reps do.

Add that to a terrible round of CBAs taht put huge restrictions w/ the luxury tax - I don't think this is collusion

I can tell you that agencies have excellent sources too.

Do you think Felipe Rivero can be an Andrew Miller-like, top 5 reliever over the next couple of years?

Yes

The Angels should sign Arrieta. Do you think they will?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:02
Not sure, but they absolutely should
Didn't I even give Arrieta to the Angels in my piece?

You are managing the Blue Jays (sorry) and Rockies (yay?). You will be very busy, but what does your starting OF look like for each?

Do I get to make signings?
3:03
I did!
Pad Squad

Thanks, Pad Squad's Friend!....but no, that wasn't what I was getting at. I don't want the Pads to get Hosmer, I just want some fun speculation as to who they Should get. I like guys like Yelich, Josh Bell, Anthony Rendon.

What team most needs the marginal wins that could be provided by dipping aggressively into the FA market? Cardinals? Nationals?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:03
Rockies and Angels.
Angels realize it, I believe.
Rockies do not, I believe.

Thanks, Pad Squad's Friend!...but no, that wasn't what I was getting at. I don't want the Padres to get Hosmer, but I am looking for some fun speculation as to who they Should get in a year or two. I like Yelich, Josh Bell, Anthony Rendon.

hahahaha. You aren't pompous or inflexible at all. do you get a lot of that stuff?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:04
I'm flexible, but I'm totally pompous
One has to be realistic about their faults.
3:05
I try to balance condescendence and self-deprecation.

When the A's played Ryon Healy at 3B, it was the functional equivalent (defensively) of a scarecrow.

Sure

How much money will Holland get?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:05
Actually, it's Greg Netherlands
3:06
I think he'll do worse than the QO on a yearly basis

It's only a few weeks until Pitchers and Catchers report, surely there will be an influx of FA signings......or not?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:06
I think so, but I also thought we'd get January signings too
Tony Eusebio
3:06
How did other mega prospects (Harper, Bryant, Correa, etc) first ZIPS projections compare to Acuna? Is his unpredecented for a prospect that age?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:06
Not unprecedented (Trout and Bryant are two of the rare players with projections like that)
Connecting…
