BUt Hampson more than usual

Getting a dog and my old lady is letting me pick the name, can you help me decide between Justin Furlander, Wade Doggs, Justin Furlander, or Jeff Begwell. (I'm an astros fan if that helps)

Dan Szymborski

12:44

Too bad you're nto a Padres fan - Eric Pawsmer

Lance Barkman

CamdenWarehouse

12:45

I'm disappointed that the tab header no longer says Baseball Statistics and Anal

Jsto

12:45

Rumor is the Brewers are seriously interested in Bumgarner. Who would you predict would go to the Giants?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

I don't honestly think the GIants will in fact do it

Chris

12:45

Is the, I guess revelation, at the end of the Mets prospect article about the Mets refusal to scout players below full season ball THE dumbest practice the team is currently engaging in, or is it merely very dumb?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

The Mets have deep wells of light, sweet, dumb that we can only imagine

12:48

On the expansion question with the larger amount of knowledge that teams have no of other systems in theory do you think this would make it easier for an expansion team to compete extremely quickly?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Not sure it would be the case - teams would also do a better job projecting their own players

Blue Morpho

12:49

Did you watch Wrestle Kingdom? If so what did you think?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I have not yet sadly

randplaty

12:49

Do you like the Padres pitching prospects better or the Braves pitching prospects better as a group?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Braves but it's really close. It may depend on the day you ask me! Padres may have more ace potential.

Brad

12:49

Is Nick Senzel more valuable as a 3B trade chip or as a Red at a new position?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I think a Red

Gub Gub

12:50

You're on the city bus?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

heh

Chris

12:50

How different is gentle, tender, eye stabbing from the practice of putting in and taking out contacts?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

I'm told that the stabbing involves eyeball puncturing

but gently done

Kasvot Vaxt

12:50

There's no way the Braves go into 2019 with Adam Duvall as their RF, right?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I would be surprised if Duvall was a starter

Kristen

12:51

Will Joey Gallo ever be able to hit .240+ without sacrificing power, or have we already seen the best of him?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I would be surprised if he is ever a decent BA guy. It's just not his skillset

Mandy is 92% Fresh

12:51

As Bruce Lee was to karate, who is equivalent for Szym-kata?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

E. Honda

Ozzie Ozzie Albies Free

12:51

Technical difficulties with a lady sitting next to you? Is that like “flu like symptoms”? Hmm....go get it Szymborski!!

Dan Szymborski

12:52

No, I closed my laptop to go outside so she could smoke, but this is the laptop that the power button sometimes gets a little stuck

and fixing it, I held it too long and it rebooted

and the other laptop was not on

12:53

well, it was in sleep, but it was in sleep with crusader kings ii on pause, so it might have taken longer than rebooting and getting back into jotcast

Adam M

12:53

Who finishes third in the AL West next year? Mariners went tear down but still have ML talent. Angels perpetually seem to live at 77-82 wins and haven't done much this offseason to change that. Rangers have talented youngsters in the lineup but a patchwork pitching staff.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

A's or Angels. Rangers will be more interesting in 2020

12:54

M'sprobably worse than A's/Angels even though I think they're nowhere near as bad as some are making them out to be

Pete

12:54

If you were forced to bet your entire personal fortune right this second on which team Harper signs with, who do you got?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Nationals. BUt please note that this is not a bet.

Fuzzy Dunlop

12:54

Braves would be nuts to give up one of their top 3 prospects and then some for Realmuto, right? I feel like a catcher in the NL is only more of a risk, and it might work just as well just to platoon like they have been?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I think it depends on who the then some is
