Outta my way, Gyorkass

Vegas has CHC 89.5 STL 88.5 MIL 86.5 CIN 79.5 and PIT 77.5. Any one or more of those make you itch to plop an over or under bet on?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

It gets a little harder to find over/under opportunities every year

Would Manny be signed already if he were a 3rd baseman or is that not even a thing?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

Not a thing

Outta my way, Gyorkass

Standard WWE match - who you got, Eric Thames or Jesus Aguilar?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

Thames

John S

Have you seen Wil Myers' new hair? I think it boosts his confidence and he'll be the Myers the padres thought they acquired. The other possibility is that it falls out a third of the way thru the season and he's completely deflated. I guess he could get an infection from it - that would be so Wil.

Dan Szymborski

12:21

I haven't seen his hair! Anyone got a link?

12:21

"ZiPS isn't typically prone to overexcitement!"

Outta my way, Gyorkass

12:22

Same WWE standard match - Tim Tebow vs Colin Kaepernick?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

I think Kaepernick

Just how scared should we be that Escobar is going to make the Orioles? I know Elias is not Duquette, but still.

Dan Szymborski

12:22

cautiously worried

Wilfong

12:22

Help! How is Max Keplers comp Robin Jennings, he of a career 226 PA's, 64wRC+ and -1.4 WAR?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Other baseball exists.

12:23

If Jennings were 10 years younger, he would have had some kind of career

Chris

12:23

What is a realistic wrc+ for Luke Voit this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

I don't think the projection is unreasonable

resumeman

12:23

Do you know if Fangraphs is going to provide DFS SaberSim projections this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

No idea

Outta my way, Gyorkass

12:24

Moose tacos sound like they at least have a chance to be good. Fried Bryce just sounds like cannibalism.

Mitch

12:24

Is Aaron Hicks really the second-best CF in the AL?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

Well, ZiPS says third-best, but yes, we're in the timeline where Aaron Hicks developed into a borderline star.

12:25

I was told the Yankees dont need Bryce Harper because Brett Gardner is a comparable player. How should I react?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

If there's a table that's unflipped nearby, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Fred Lutt

12:25

Why don't the Reds trade Matt Kemp to the Indians? Make it salary neutral or whatever but that seems like a good move for all parties

Dan Szymborski

12:25

I don't think Kemp's good enough to even make the Indians OF

Dahlish Intention

12:26

What should fans expect of dear former prospect star David Dahl?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Occasional injuries, but the Rockies might be out of craptacular players to play over him

12:27

THough they still have 6 weeks to sign one

Der-K

12:27

When do you expect that we'll see the ZiPS for players that otherwise got lost in the shuffle (dealt/signed after their new team was posted, before their old one was)?
Thanks!

Dan Szymborski

12:27

After the final team (White Sox) goes on Friday!

Skyline Chili requests for you to cease making jokes about their high quality delicious chili or we shall see you in court...where we will have vats of our chili for jurors to eat and relish.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

As long as the trial is somewhere with good taste, I'll win

NotBurtReynolds

12:27

Do believe Zips is superior because it was the only projection system that correctly forecasts Kris Davis's batting average for 2019? Are all other projection systems inherently flawed if they don't return a .247 BA for Davis?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Yes and for exactly this reason

Kristen

12:27

Over-under on Gallo hitting 53 HR's?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Under

Irrational Man

12:27

Any taste of what Jeff McNeil's DEF projection would be in LF?
