I had Eovaldi at 4/ 56. Am I high or low?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Might actually be a little low.

He's one of the most INTERESTING of the pitching candidates that don't suck.

12:28

Even in the down market, Cobb got 4/57 and Chatwood 3/38 and Eovaldi's more interesting than either were

1 thing that was big IMO was the Red Sox roster construction- with only 11 pitchers(well, 10 plus Bucholz). Allowed for 14 batters. Boston was able to be really agressive with lineup changes as a result....

Park

12:28

Favorite ballpark?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Too much nostalgia for it to not be Camden Y ards

Did Harper name his team? IF he was serious, it would to me indicate either Yanks(boyhood team) or staying with Nats....?? If he was kidding, what is the point?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Trolling is always good.

The funniest overpay this offseason would be a careless team mistakingly giving Dixon Machado 300 mil.

Dan Szymborski

12:29

It would be the Royals

12:30

and it would be 2/10 with an 8/290 after player opt-out which the Royals congratulate themselves for making because that contract will totally only commit them to two years! Totally!

Kiermiaer's Pretty Healthy

So Dan...you don't now have an offseason ..you think that excuses you from even modest housework? I guess Galileo empties the litter box? I would pay to see that.

Dan Szymborski

12:30

When did I ever have an offseason? I think my last offseason was 2002.

12:31

I just have one giant litter box in the laundry room. Cats generally get along.

___ % chance that Kershaw re-opts with the Dodgers for last 2 years/65 million.

Dan Szymborski

12:31

A different Matt

12:31

Offseason started, so like Veruca Salt I want 2019 projections NOW. But seriously when will we see them?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

We usually start them a week before Thanksgiving

Pie Eaton Contest

12:31

Do Kershaw and Price both opt out? Who gets the largest deal and most AAV; Price, Corbin, or Kershaw?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

I think kershaw opts out (or more likely, comes to a reasonable extension with the dodgers). I think Price doesn't

And Kershaw gets more in his extension than Corbin in his deal

GSon

12:32

you still aren't able to do this..

Dan Szymborski

12:32

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS IS REFERRING TO

12:33

Is it referring to chinups? I can still do like...1...chinup, maybe 2 if I'm feeling sufficiently good

Doesn't sound like much, but beer and a too-sedentary lifestyle means there's a lot of up to chin.

Why don't the Red Sox just roll up the Brink's truck and offer Betts $350M/10 right now?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

They can probably get that in two years.

Though I do think they could hammer out an extension

Do you remember when you first rejected beans in chili, or is it one of those things where the origin story has been lost to the mists of time?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

I do not recall honestly

Jon Heyman

12:34

Do you guys write original posts or just copy and paste Jon's work?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

Jon has a projection system?

Then again, I've never projected Kimberly and Krlly.

Wes

12:35

When are you announcing your signing with the Dodger's analytics team?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

I have zero desire to work full-time for a team.

James

12:35

How long until this agent-GM thing blows up in the Mets' face?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

January. But to be fair, 3 months is about as long as it takes most Mets decisions from blowing up in their face

hscer

12:36

Would Dakota Fanning count as someone with the first name of a state

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I think so
