Do you agree with the high projects on Willie Calhoun this year?

I think I do

Do you see more clubs trying to "game" the 10 day DL to rest pitchers in 2018 like the Dodgers did in 2017?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:42
Yup.  Any good trick worth doing is worth stealing.

Hi Dan, Aledmys Diaz fell through the proverbial ZiPs cracks between St. Louis and Toronto.  Anyway I can get a quick projection for him with OPS+ and WAR?  TY in advance.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:42
I posted him on Twitter!  Now you gotta wait a couple weeks

Do you think Buxton will surpass his ZiPS projections of 18 homers and 24 stolen bases?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:42
He could, but he's been all over the place offensively

Do you think the Giants can win more than 81 games? Like is there any room anywhere on that roster to outperform projections? Or are they just screwed?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:42
I think it COULD happen.  ZiPS, depending on assumptions, has them around 75 wins and it doesn't take all that much being wrong to get them to 81
2:43
But in the contending sense, I think the Giants are kinda screwed without BIG moves
I had a fun chart in a piece a few weeks ago
2:44
It's not for lack of trying
But the Giants have lost out in quite a few competitions for players

Is Josh Harrison a good fit for the Yankees?

The Dan Szymborski Consecutive Chat Streak for 2018 begins and it currently stands at 1!  Could it beat 2017’s streak of 3?

What is the optimal Washington Nationals outfield configuration in 2018?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:45
Stanton/Trout/Harper
2:46
I'm not getting away with that answer, am I?
2:47
Personally, I'd go Eaton/Robles/Harper with Taylor getting 350 PA scattered around, but I don't think they'll be that aggressive with Robles

Is there any widely available minor league raw data? I've been working on my own data and can't find anything that's usable.
AvatarDan Szymborski

No, I have to obatin my own

Have you ever run into a question you really, really wanted to answer, but couldn't due to a dubious username?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:48
Actually yes.  Sometimes someone picks a foul-mouthed handle that I probably can't get away with
big trade need help
2:49
in an OBP dynasty league...Would you trade Andrew Benintendi for Ronald Acuna and Manny Margot?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:49
Yes

Aside from Machado, would the O's get real value from trading away any of their other players?
