I will benintentionally pick the former.

Does your answer to Go Braves mean that Wheeler has more trade value than Gsellman?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:24
it's tough - there's likely to be a lot of variance in evaluation of Wheeler. We don't really *know* what his arm is like and even the Mets probably don't

Lance berkman signed with the rangers like a year after bashing the team hard

Cameron thinks we'll see 9 figures for a reliever. Do you agree?

No

Greg Holland. Discuss.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:25
The proper name is Greg Netherlands.

Dansby Swanson looked good in his stay with the big club at the end of the year. Chances he's a 2+ win player this year?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:25
Quite good
Q-Ball

Aren't Jansen and Turner inevitably going to stay on the Dodgers? Dodgers have need and a mountain of cash, and both players have said they like L.A. This should happen, right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:25
I think it's very likely they retain.

Do you feel that Kang has a 5+ WAR season or two in him if he can stay healthy? 40 homeruns?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:25
Probably a little too aggressive for me.
12:26
Gotta see if he can stay healthy and remember, he turns 30 early next season
I'd be more comfortable saying one than two

Trey Amburguey has an 80 name tool, no? Asking for Steve Martin.

Amburgey-Bargy was a Squeeze album.

Think the Orioles open up the wallet for someone like Reddick? Rickard/Reddick platoon in RF sounds nice. Or are we looking at a not so nice platoon of Bourn/Rickard.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:27
I would really hope the Orioles never go into an offseason in which significant time next year for Rickard is a Plan A.
12:29
One year platoon splits are essentially worthless - Rickard's minor league platoon splits are fairly normal, even slightly to the smaller side than typical.
And I don't think Reddick signs a deal with a team with the intention of platooning him.

With Ruben Amaro Jr. and Dave Stewart gone, what FO now do we direct our sabermatic bullying at?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:29
It's wide open! Probably Rockies

Who do you take right now from the Pirates outfield (given contract and everything)? Is it possible that McCutchen is the least desirable of the three?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:29
Yes
12:30
Not just possible, is. I'd trade less for McCutchen than I would for Marte of Polanco.

What do you think will be the biggest change to the final CBA?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:30
I t hink in the end they decide to just tinker around the edges.

Bigger FA contract offer: Chapman, Jansen or Melancon?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:30
Chapman
Minty

Do you have more hope for Baez or Heyward at the plate?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:30
Baez

What teams should consider shifting to rebuild mode, from contention mode?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:30
White Sox definitely
12:31
Probalby Tigers, they're already threaten to retool, but I don't think they have the assets for that anymore.

Which non playoff team spends the most money this off-season? Are they also the non playoff team most likely to make it next year?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:31
Yankees I think. They have more money to play with and had to be unusually responsible at the trade deadline for the Levine bunch.
Rex

Out of curioisity- at this point, what do you think the odds are of Asdrubal Cabrera's 8.5 million 2018 club option being exercised ?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Decent actually
