Everybody seems to be talking about this Fünke prospect around the water cooler . . .

jon gray or patrick corbin in fantasy?

ZiPS actually says Gray even with Coors

I think the Yanks are all-in on Andujar. How would they marry that thought with a Moose signing? Is Moose a good enough player to *bring in* to block Andujar? Do you try to know it to a one-year deal? Do you not allow a NTC?

Moose fits better as he may take a short deal.

"only letting the batter step out of the box in very few situations" - Didn't they implement this a couple years ago only to stop enforcing it?
AvatarDan Szymborski

The problem with any pace of play with discretion means you have to get umps to enforce it

Do you have an exclusive deal with FG relating to ZiPS, or do you guys just have a mutually beneficial relationship? If you wanted to, could you release them parallely on your own (hypothetical) website with 25%/75% confidence ranges?

I'm a long-time friend of FG
and there's a good FG/ESPN relationship
Generally, the goal is to keep from clashing with the latter's needs.

Will you release a ZIPS List for players who were left off of the teams reports?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I actually did a pretty good job.  The team rundowns only missed 11 guys that FG depth charts had projected for more than 1 PA or 1 IP
3:01
There will be requests
I did about 2600 this year

Dan, can you give us your most optimistic take/scenario for the Hosmer signing. please
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:01
Hosmer suddenly realizes he doesn't have to hit like Willie Mays Hayes

I am far less qualified than you but if offered a GM job how could you not take it? The opportunity to make a bunch of money and probably failing spectacularly? Sign me up!

I did make an exception for a GM job that I would not get!

My FG/ZiPS question was mostly relating to the intervals. I would love to get some intervals on projections - most give the median outcome, but would love to see higher/lower probability numbers as well.

The problem is that each player literally has a different error bar.
On that note, I have to get going.
Thanks for joining me, everyone!  You can find my work at ESPN.com, chats and projections at FanGraphs, and at DSzymborski on Twitter.
