Is Basallo the best bat in the minors per ZiPS? Is Williamson the best defender?

Dan Szymborski

1:15

I believe Campbell rates out as best bat in minors at this moment

and ben Williamson as best defender

1:16

though did I say taht already? That's a great guess!

Who does ZiPs like better out of Walker Jenkins and Roman Anthony? I'm very intrigued by both so just curious!

Dan Szymborski

ZiPS prefers Anthony

Re playoff structure: I too want the better teams to advance more often. But do you think MLB likes the current crapshoot nature?

Dan Szymborski

1:17

Yes. A crapshoot championship reduces the value of a win

Since you started doing these, do you know who has overperformed their projections from after no more than a cup of coffee (so, not a ROY season or anything) the most?

Dan Szymborski

1:17

I dunno off hand

Maybe BrandoN Crawford a few years ago?

But that's a wild guess

I think you mentioned that he was great in the Ms ZiPS breakdown but didn't know whether that was for ALL positions or just 3B

Dan Szymborski

1:18

Actually, he's behind Connor Burns slightly in D

Is it safe to say the Juan Soto was the one highly sought after 26 year old that New Yorkers are glad didn't slip away from the city this past week?

Dan Szymborski
