Of course.

Does simulation also take into account schedule? The Cubs are great, but they have the misfortune of playing in the NL Central.
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:06
Yes

Would you have a preference between all OF having 3 WAR seasons while the 2B/SS/3B are replacement level or vice versa? Or would they both be equal?

Did I read your tweet correctly from a while back, that Alex Rodriguez WAS PROJECTED FOR 82 WAR over the next 10 seasons, when he was 25?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:08
Yes. Projected as a SS, that is (he actually ended up at like 72 from 2001-2010)

goddamn it dan now I want tacos. Thanks for doing that right after my lunch hour is over

So do you lean toward the side that Heyward will translate to CF no problem? Even though no one has provided any evidence indicating that this is a smart move? (If you have any please provide)
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:10
I think he'll be fine. The typical COF-->CF and CF-->COF defensive change relative to average at hte position is about 10 runs.
WIth that changing based on speed score - Heyward's faster than the average corner outfielder.

Yeah, you're the chlamydia of FG writers. It sucks, but it's not really that bad.
AvatarDan Szymborski

OK, we're 10 minutes past 1.
Time for the LIGHTNING ROUND
1:11
The rules of the Lightning Round are simple: I must answer every question, so long as it's off-topic, with the exception of extremely personal or work-related things. Whether or not I have any insight or knowledge of the issue is no excuse for me not answering.

Have you reached the age where you can't eat certain things because they burn on the way out?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Yes. I have had to cut back on spicy food considerably in the last 3 or 4 years.
