He can always be a bit better, but I don't see the HRs going that high

So how many PAs can we expect the annoying dodgers (with all of their annoying depth) to give Toles this year?

250-300? They have a lot of guys

How far back in time do you think we would have to go to find a World Series winner worse than the 2017 Padres? Infinitely?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
They would certainly be the worst team I ever projected to win the World Series.

Is the Kipnis extension a fair comparison for Odor's extension?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:38
I can see something comparable

$750M for those three means Harvey's had one hell of a decline.

Somebody should calculate all the time we've would have saved if the intentional walk rule was around during Bonds' peak years
Hoser

If Trout was better than Bonds and Ruth put together then he would be comparable to Gretzky.

Re: Kendrys Morales, like 275/30/90 well?

Would take the under on the BA for sure.

What do you think of Bo Bichette? Could he become a stud SS prospect a la Torres/Rosario?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:39
A little premature.
Guys that young, I don't like forming too much of an opinion without some significant professional play, even looking at tapes

Dan - as a paying FG member, I am officially a customer. You should never yell at your customers, Dan.

Am I wrong to be a fan of Randal Grichuk?

How will Eric Hosmer ever sign a 10-year deal when the Rockies signed the greatest 1B of all time in Ian Desmond?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:40
I'd sign Hosmer for 10-years, $30 million. That's like seven free years!

Schafer? I barely knew her.

Why do we never see college coaches hired by MLB teams in need of managers?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:41
College baseball has always been the weak cousin of the college versions of major sports
2:42
The minors are an extensive buffer between majors and college that you don't have

Based on pure value, what does a Mike Trout trade return look like? Can be prospects from multiple teams, not just one.....
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:43
It would almost need to be a complex trade because I don't think a fair value for Trout is so much
Ron

Why are people so high on Jon Gray? All things being equal (Park Factors, Run Support, etc.) he is a top (insert here) pitcher?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:43
Becaue he pitches well?

Is the full version of the ZiPS algorithm used in OOTP18 or is it just a set of projections you've already run?

Set of projections

What type of season does Stroman have? Cy young caliber?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:43
I think he's good, but people have frequently overrated him. He's not an elite pitcher.
Matt

Dan, Dan, he's our man! If he can't do it, then it's hard to imagine that in a world of over 6 billion people there's not someone else who can!
