What do you think the chances are that the redsox resign Schwarber, does he project better or worse in Fenway then his 3 year projections going in to last season?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I think for Sox he was just a fill-in

12:37

he was awesome with Boston, but he's also not a great fit for the park

and JDM didn't opt out

What will be the players’ biggest gain in the new CBA?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

I'm hoping they find something that works better to avoid service time manipulation

How would a Strasburg for Eric Hosmer trade work? Seems that money would have to trade hands, but Strasburg also seems significantly more valuable when hes healthy. Allows the Nats to move payroll and maybe add a prospect or two and gives the dads a potentially elite pitcher when healthy.

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I don't think this trade would work.

That's a huge gamble on a player with health questions

George

12:39

Any hope for Corbin? Where on earth did the strikeouts go?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

His stuff got notably worse. Contact rate jumped a bunch

John B

12:40

Jim kaat in 1965 had a 4 WAR difference between b and f. His whole career has the same. 45 vs 71. What gives ?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

He's got one of the largest FIP/ERA discrepancies

Jon Gray feels like a Cardinal signing.

szymchat is not real, put on by the fake news media to trick everyone into thinking Dan Szymborski is a real person when in fact he is clearly a bot send from the future to destroy our love of the national pastime.

How’s your mother doing? She still knocking over your trash cans?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Mom's fine. Her health has actually gotten quite a bit better since she retired.

12:43

Though she keeps getting sick babysitting my nephew and then she comes over here and gets me sick too.

Do you think a: The Twins and Buxton play out the year; B: They agree to an extension; C: They trade him?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

B > C >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A

You are a man with ideas, some of which are actually palatable! I want players to have free markets where they can earn what their worth and choose which organizations they work for. But I also miss the old days when team rosters were more static and fans got more attached to players on 'their' team. How can we get the best of both worlds?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I'm not sure you really can

The system we have kind of is a balance between those things

Do you buy the Reds weirdly high park factor in 2020/2021 (relative to prior years)? What does Zips think? Will this lead to teams disagreeing on Reds free agents to any significant degree.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

One-year park factors are notoriously volatile

So will 1.3875-year park factors

Is Hosmer a full time starter in 2023?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

Maybe for the Rockies

James

12:45

Is Cristian Javier with 10% better command an ace?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Let's say 15%

Ben

Is Bobby Dalbec good enough to be a starting 1B/DH somewhere in your eyes? Having a RHH pre-arb player with his batted ball profile seems valuable to me, but obviously the contact and walk rates are a huge question mark.

Dan Szymborski

12:45

I think he's Cronic. He can start at 1B, but he's not going to be your franchise player there

Jeb

12:45

Which team does Zips forecast Trevor story to sign with : ) ?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

NO FAIR ASKING ZIPS TO PROJECT THINGS IT DOES NOT PROJECT

Splork!

12:45

Well, what kind of car did you get?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

I got a Mazda 3 Turbo in the hatchback form factor.

12:46

MSRP, unfortunately. Given the lack of availability of new cars, buyers have little leverage, so no haggling success here. I was happy to get it just for MSRP
