Dan, can you explain with a little greater detail exactly how greetings work?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:26
It's something a Priest does in Hearthstone on turn 2.

A woman in the MLB is never going to happen, right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:26
I think it will happen eventually.
A knuckleballer seems most likely.
12:27
I'd love to see it happen, but there are very real physical differences that make it an uphill climb.
Joshua
12:28
Who won the Davis/Soler trade?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:28
It was reasonable for both sides.
JT
12:28
What happens between the "agree to sign" and "actually signs" period. Can agents shop the agreed upon offer, can teams get cold feet and back out? Is this a gentlemens agreement or is there any real language that governs this period?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:28
There's usually a gentlemen's agreement at that point.
12:29
Teams and agents have long-term relationships, so you usually only see the applecart tilt in a fe situations

Dan, would you eat stuffing mixed with gravy and blended to a smooth sticky pulp?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:29
No.
I don't even like my food touching on Thanksgiving.
If I won't eat stuffing with gravy on top of it, I'm certainly not going to eat it in a blended shake.

With Pablo slimmed down, whos the fattest MLB batter? Fat Matt Adams?

Would the braves be better served to use Mallex Smith as 4th outfielder or let him get regular playing time at AAA?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:30
They'd best be served dumping one of their mediocre outfielders and seeing what they have in Mallex.
12:31
Short of that, I'd rather have him on the AAA injury shuttle and playing fulltime

What do you think of Joe Biagini? Can he actually be a good reliever?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:32
He was good already.
I don't see him getting to an elite level though.
Bret
12:32
How will the Mets end up sorting out their OF situation? Is it enough to just dump Bruce eventually? Or do they need a real CF?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:33
I think they expected a better market for Bruce, though god knows why.
I think they're *really* going to play Granderson in center. In 2017.
Bork
12:33
Rasmus won't be a 4th OF. He's perfect for a cheap 1 yr bounceback contract, no?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:33
After that year, I can't see him getting a full-time job just handed to him
Bob
12:33
Any advice on how to strengthen pitch identification skills? Got an MLB job that requires great precision, so I want to be as sharp as possible

why does this chat never really work on Chrome?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:34
Beats me.
Maybe it's Mealworms

Dan, can you dunk?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:34
If I have a ladder.

What is the darkest ZiPS timeline?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:35
There's a non-zero chance that a Super Nintendo Schwarber dinger causes a vacuum metastability event.
12:36
Dammit guys, even doing a third of the questions, I'm only up to 12:04.

Do you like basketball?

Yes
