Do you agree with most of the ZIPS projections for the 2017 Red Sox?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:36
Sadly, yes.

Justin O'Conner seems to make perfect sense for the Braves, right? Wouldn't he already be better than Recker or Gosewisch?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
Would be a good move.

y Holidays, Dan! DMB league draft beginning next week, how would you pick between Mazara and Benintendi? Thanks!
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
I have Benintentions.

What kind of triple slash would Matt Kemp have to put up to be useful starter given his defense?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:37
Something like a 130-135 OPS+ to be a league-average starter

Assuming Dozier is not a fait accompli, who else might be an option for the Dodgers at 2B?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:38
Going with the one they brought.
Barry

Who will fill out Red Sox rotation 4th and 5th spots? Thanks
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:38
They have a lot of options. I'd hope Buchholz option is just them being careful
Julio Pepper
12:38
Sure, but most of that came from the Sale move.

ZiPS does have Shaw at like 10 WAR over the next 5 years.

What the heck do the Blue Jays do now?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
Try to get Bautista and especially EE back at a discount.
Brock Holt!
12:39
First to reach the playoffs, reds, brewers, padres or white Sox?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:39
Brewers
Thomas
12:39
Jameson Taillon is already an above average pitcher – is that right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:40
It ain't crazy at all. The question was how good he'd be when he came back and he was pretty good!
Joe

So you're really just gonna cop out and NOT give us your NPB version of the Caminerooooooooo song?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:40
I already did on twitter!
Kare wa chō kōsoku de daremoga yorokobu, kare wa hearēzunda, rīdoburaddi no pitchingumashin! CAMINERO! CAMINERO!

Did i miss the ZiPS for Locke in Miami? lol even that homer-repressing dome cant save him.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Trust me, you're not missing them at all.

Carson should really add the comp explanation to the posts. You seem to get the question each week. Make Carson earn his pay!
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:42
Carson earns his pay by absorbing the souls of the recently deceased after his blood magicks have been executed.

I am not a Yankees fan. I am not an Os fan. But it angers me beyond belief that Mussina is not a HOFer by now. HOW?!?!

Me = Angry

Wait, would you really vote for Trevor Hoffman over Curt Shilling?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:42
We can't clear off Schilling this year. We *can* clear off Hoffman.
12:43
My goal is to maximize the guys we get in and that involves making it so that there really only are 10 legitimate candidates.
And we can't do that without clearing off a net of four or five guys *before* the yearly candidates come in.

Speed round: Would you rather be a Fartasaurus or alive during the 22nd century?

Latter.

Future games make me sad when I realize I'm dead.
