I swear to God if you do not turn off your LinkedIn notifications setting, I will go HAL 9000 on you
AvatarDan Szymborski

I'm awaiting approval for like 80 people.
2:50
I don't check my linkedin much.
The truth is that national sports journalism isn't *that* big a world.
And since I've been around for awhile, I know most people anyway, so LinkedIn doesn't have quite as much networking value.

Is Gary Sanchez projected as a top-5 MLB catcher this season?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Looks like it.

That was not part of the deal

At the risk of sounding heartless - let's say Ventura had a decently sizable contract, and the tragedy happened in June. How would that work against the teams Lux Tax?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I *think* it depends on whether they have to pay it out or not.

Which teams do you see as having their window of opportunity closing post-2017?

I think Detroit's at the end of the rope.
O's may be soon.

Buster Posey is the best looking but Pence has the best body.
If Buster Posey becomes a full time 1b does he become a top 5 1b in baseball immediately?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:54
I don't think so. I have him projected at an OPS+ that would put him somewhere around 7th. So it dpeends on how much it improves his hitting and how good he is defensively full time
Sgt. Slaughter
2:54
Who would you rather have in your corner, The Big Boss Man or Sgt. Slaughter?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:54
Sgt. Slaughter. First, he's alive. And second, he can bring in the GI Joe characters to help.
2:55
Big Boss Man can bring in Akeem, but Sgt. Slaughter knows Snake Eyes and Flint

Would you rather have Logan Forsythe and Brock Stewart or just Brian Dozier?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:55
I think Forsythe and Stewart, but I don't think it's a slam dunk
Dave

JP Crawford or Amed Rosario?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Crawford

What are the odds we can move Matt Kemp for anything at all? That contract scares me...
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:56
I think he's still slightly movable to an AL team.

Leody Taveras came in at #35 in KLaw's top 100 prospects. Impressive for someone that young to land so high on the list. I'm curious to know your thoughts on him and his projections?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:56
Taveras comes lower in ZiPS.
2:57
The ZiPS Top 100 prospects comes out tomorrow!

I am not at work, however I might be the only one in the chat who is currently in a college class. Your chat is far more interesting than a Business Law Lecture.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:58
I will only answer questions that come in between now and the next 5 minutes if they're about the Uniform Commercial Code.
So if it's time-stamped as coming in between 2:58-3:03, it has to be on that subject.
Or anything else business law.

If given the choice between yogurt and Gustav Mahler, I pick Mahler, Dan.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:59
I didn't say yogurt was better than Mahler, I said I like yogurt more than Mahler did. Probably.
