Do you like Kumquats? They are better than grapefruits and one of the 5 ancestral citrus fruits unlike grapefruits.

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I do, but I don't really get kumquats

Do Padres compete for a wild card with the current roster?

12:49

I think they nearly do

Slapshot

Trivia Time: Can you name the only draft-eligible player to go undrafted into pro ball (ie, not international players) and go on to win an MVP Award? Anyone? Anyone? Draft began in 1965...

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I assume this is Larry Walker trivia since it's the HOF season.

Y. Alvarez or Vlad ROC?

12:53

Still Vlad

Dave

Tame Impala?

Dan Szymborski

Some Insider

Think Trevor Bauer will follow up on his "I'm only going to sign 1 year deals" stuff?

12:54

If his offers suck

Some Insider

Any word on Domingo German? The yankees were told he will avoid a "substantial suspension". But media are saying EVERYTHING from nothing to full season.

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Haven't seen a darn thing

Seamus the trick to good chili is to add all the beans to it. All of them.

Dan have you tried white truffle infused hot sauce? Thoughts?

12:56

I have not

So the Rockies make the least sense in MLB. Who makes the second least sense?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Royals

Marlins are bad, but they're straightforward at being bad

Boycott Szym

DAN IS A FILTHY LIAR

Jeff

On a scale of 10-100 where 10 is already amazing, how great is Andrew Friedman at value? Has there every been anyone better in any industry?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

What's with you guys today?

James

12:56

Any thoughts on which Rule 5 guys might stick?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Running projections after chat!

RSO

Does David Price make sense for the Angels? Some guy on reddit predicted the Cozart trade 5 hours before it happened and said they'd end up with Rendon, Price and Ryu.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Was it that wetbutt guy?

pop

12:57

ZiPS like Gausman in SF?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I DID write a piece!

Not Vlad (international signing in 1993). We are looking for an American born player who signed as an amateur free agent in November of 1980.
