People appear to have enjoyed this format.

The problem with doing the 30 team one was that by myself, it was basically 100,000, so I was basically writing a novel every fall, which would delay the ZiPS

>this guy<

12:23

Oh hell yeah Time Warps but at the nexus of before they became great instead of vice versa, sych as big unit idea above

How Bobby Grich Stole Christmas

12:23

Ah, I was hoping for something like Danny Danger’s Super Sports Future Telling Machine

Tiger Fan

12:24

What keeps projections so down on the Tigers's roster? They're not great by any means, but "least talented in baseball" feels a bit heavy. What am I missing?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

Hard to say at this point, simply because the projections right now are Steamer's

Ken

12:24

Any chance Gray stays with Rox, and if not, where do you guess he signs and for how much?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

I expect slim

12:25

Though I guess I could see the Rockies sign Gray for 3/50 or something because they don't understand that 1/19 would be a far better deal.

Moose for Didi? Moose for anyone is no.

Mozeliak

12:25

that was Didi Gregorius for moustakas

Dan Szymborski

12:25

I don't understand what the question is!

Mozeliak

12:25

How much does Castillo’s value go up if dealt out of the Queen City?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Not sure it goes up

Dan Szymborskate

12:25

Have you ever seen Brockmire? Have you ever crushed up and snorted an abortion pill? Should I ask this during the lightning round so you have to answer?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

Yes.

No. Is that a thing?

12:26

No. Offseason chats are slower.

Key Flaw

12:27

In my basement/game room, I have a flag of Austria-Hungary, Kindgomd of the Two Sicilies, and the Paleologos flag of the Eastern Roman Empire. What other defunct kingdom/empire flag should I get next?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

If you have the Paleologos flag, why not get some of the other Greek successor states of the time?

Empire of Trebizond flag

Did the Despotate of Morea use the same flag?

12:28

Free Republic of Vercors

12:29

(seal of carpatho-ukraine)

North Ingria

Gabe

12:31

Is there hope that Gleyber Torres bounces back?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

Some

Willie Mays GOAT

12:31

With possibility of Belt leaving, and Gausman, Disco, Wood, others too. Do you think they are closer to 3rd place next year or 1st again (and buying into Farhan voodoo)?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

Closer to 3rd, but they have a lot of winter to do stuff

TomBruno23

I received my COVID Booster yesterday and I all I got was a sore arm. And this chat. And coffee.

Dan Szymborski

12:31

My condolences on coming down with szymchat

I had fewer side effects from my booster than the second shot

Bill Schmidt

12:32

Since I’m not bringing back Story or Gray, who should I sign to make Rockies the playoff contender that my boss, Dick Monfort, always thinks we are?!

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Someone with incriminating photos of Monforts to blackmail them into stepping aside?

FA Frenzy

12:33

Which FA pitcher has the best chance of being 2022's version of Ray that puts everything together and exceeds expectations?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

Heaney maybe?

Pitchers with freaky HR totals tend to be good bounceback candidates

TomBruno23

12:35

Assuming Wainwright throws a pitch in 2022 that will be 16 years after he finished the World Series. I need to do this again at one point I figured out who lasted the longest after throwing the last pitch of a World Series. I think it was Jesse Orosco going from 17 years from 1986 to 2003, at least in modern times.

Dan Szymborski

12:36

Babe Adams was 17 years
