But the problem is 5. There's something weird about the first round of a playoff structure being the most likely to eliminate the best team in the league.

What would Eric Hosmer get if he was a free agent this year?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:38
There's such a huge variation. I think he'd at least get more than he should.

Could the Braves give away Markakis and his salary if they get nothing in return? Would the savings help in the general scope, even looking after 2017?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:38
I think they could probably give him away at this point. Not sure if it's enough to make a difference.

Ender, Albies, Newcomb, and Whalen for Chris Archer? Who says no?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
Not sure the Braves are willing to do that, simply because they don't have a lot offense in-system.
But I also didn't thin kthe Braves would be willing to pay Matt Kemp to not be a DH so whateves

Why don't we bust players more for standing in the box 'miring their not-homers? There's no situation better served by standing around over a purposeful jog. I love bat flips and showing off but sometimes you misjudge a ball or the wind says no.

The purpose of complaining about these kinds of behaviors is to ding players the commentator doesn't like.

Robert Gsellman and Seth Lugo- whats your take on these guys?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
I think Gsellman more interesting long-term than Lugo

Is there any world where the Jays don't give Bautista a QO? I don't get it.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:40
No
Frigging CUDDYER and KENNEDY got QOs and they acutally WORKED OUT for those guys.

Will the Twinkies win more games next year? Why or why not???
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:40
Yeah. Better roster almost by definition and the plexiglass principle. Probably was a 70-win talent team or so that underperformed.

Do the O's have any realistic moves to improve significantly?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:40
I think their moves will have to be on the margins

Before the Mets fans start with the "who hangs up first, Wheeler for XXX Great player/Prospect" questions can you please explain that Wheeler lacks that kind of value for the same reason Mets fans want to include him in every trade proposal, he’s injured and he has set backs AND his service clock is ticking while he’s rehabbing.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:41
Why wouldn't you want to include Wheeler in every trade proposal? Fans always want to trade up. And if you can, that's the way to go

EE is making a good case for biggest contract.

I think like bautista, his age might scare enough on for it to come lower than a Cespedes

Can you believe we're getting Tomlin vs. Bucholz in the post-season, even after a rain out?

is the hazing that severe to get in?

I was admittedly a wuss, I didn't want to ask and then be turned down.

Why does Ron Washington keep getting interviewed for managerial positions? I always got the impression he was a pretty terrible manager that happened to manage a really talented team.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:43
Once you're a manager, you get into these circles where you always get interviews.
Washington didn't strike me as terrible, just mediocre. Though I don't see the point of a mediocre manager given there are only 30 of these jobs in baseball.

Today is the day to celebrate all things that aren't specifically given their own days. It's the 10th amendment of days.

Do you really think Bautista would get more than Encarnacion this off season? Would this down year not affect Joey's value?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:44
No, you're probably right. EE will get more than Bautista.
I'm attaching *too* much money to sentiment and reputation.

Should the Royals keep the band together for one final tour or start trading off pieces so the rebuild lasts only 5 years instead of 10 years?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:44
They should break it up if they're really wanting to trim back payroll from this year.
