Do you think teams are overvaluing and paying much in trade value for elite rp's?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:45
Possibly.

Should Pedro Alvarez be shagging flies im

Given his defense at 1st and 3rd, he's probably better off not answering the questions of whether he can play in the outfield and leaving it in doubt.

What do you think it costs to lock up Mookie Betts?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:45
A ton.

Could we have gotten peraza and vertigo for
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:47
Already got peraza. I wouldn't recommend getting vertigo - I had a case of it mys enior year of high school
Chris
12:47
Sry. Could the reds have gotten peraza and vertigo for Chapman and still had the Frazier piece?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:48
I think so.

Does Joey Votto have positive trade value? Would any team hypothetically take him and his contract without any prospects being sent over?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:49
Probably not positive, but I think it's close enough that a team with a real need might have some interest.
Won't get any great prospectage without eating salary of course.
Unlike Bruce, overpaying for Votto can actually fill a need.

If the Angels were able to post Trout like they do for the Japanese players , how high do you see the bids going ?

All the tea.

Why isn't Denard Span getting more buzz? Seems like a sneaky good signing.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:51
Problem is he's a CF on the wrong side of 30 with slipping defensive numbers who had back and hip problems.
Though I do think he could be a good signing.

Does Kolten Wong get 150 starts at 2B for the Cardinals or is he replaced by Jedd Gyorko?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:51
He shouldn't be replaced with Gyorko
Andrew
12:52
What does Lunhow see in Evan Gattis? First to acquire him, then to ensure he's the everyday DH by keeping him and not adding a replacement? He's not good at all is he?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:52
Wasn't all that excited about him.

I know you've said in the past that you tinker with ZiPS projections a few years into the future before releasing updated versions. Are you using any new variables (or substantially different weights) from years past?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:52
Yeah, more pitch data is involved.
RotoLando
12:52
A team of 8 Mike Trouts with Kyle Farnsworth pitching, vs a team of 8 Barry Bondses with Juan Nicasio pitching. In Coors, late May.

Which of the remaining FAs are most likely to consider a pillow contract and which are most likely to wait until after the season starts to sign?

Latos

Local car dealership
Chris

Of Pederson, grichuk and polanco, who is line for the biggest step forward and the largest step back?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:53
Polanco, wouldn't say any of them take a huge step back

Jason Heyward's signing bonus is deferred, unless he opts-out; it makes it all the more likely he will opt out after 3 years, barring injury of course. If he continues to perform, is 3/78 a reasonable pay for the next 3 years of Heyward?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:54
Yes

Jorge Soler...are you a believer? Obvious power potential, loud contact, but poor defense last year and middling results.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:54
I like him, but I feel I was always more realistic than some people who went crazy
