Did you watch Little Big League on MLB Network last night?

No

Is osuna being wasted as a closer? Should the Jays re transition him to a starter?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:45
I think it's tricky in that he was never really stretched out aggressively as a starter
I think you try to give him more innings, see how it works, and then revisit in the next couple years

Asked Eno this already, but I'm going to the MIT Analytics Conference next weekend, and I was wondering how I can best spend my time there as someone trying to get in to the industry

Do you believe that there will be an exemption for Shohei Otani to come over next offseason or will he have to wait till he turns 25?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
We'll have to wait. I'm not happy, of course.

Regarding formula to compare FBB stats...wouldn't a z-score be what he's looking for?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I thought he meant a specific baseball-thing

Angel Pagan - most paradoxical name in baseball.

Trevor Story 30 homers. You have the under?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:47
Yes. It's not a baseline and we dont' know if we're in a new HR era rather than a one year blip

There are almost games today and there are real(?) games tomorrow!

I'm sick of these nerds trying to explain a game they've never played with their fancy computers. MAKE BASEBALL GREAT AGAIN!

At the risk of cluttering your "inbox", just wanted to say thanks for posting that!
AvatarDan Szymborski

I'm not sure the reference!

You have to start one Padre, one Twin, and one Brave in your fantasy team. Who are they, and are you at all happy about it?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:48
Margot, Buxton, Freeman?
Happy about Freeman, not so much the other two since I'm not getting properly compensated in fantasy for their defense

Where is the ZiPS projection for Chris Sale's JRpG? (Jerseys Ruined per Game)
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:50
None - the Red Sox don't have super outlandish throwbacks
Eric Hosmer

If you HAD to sign me to a 10 year deal, and you knew you were going to cut me somewhere in the middle and were treating the last 4-6 years as deferred money, how much would you be willing to pay? $25 million? Also, do you want whatever we're smoking at my house?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:50
I might go as high as 3/40 if I'm in win now

Game 7 of World Series...you starting prime Higuera or old Colon?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:51
Colon so that people don't know I'm wasting my time machine

How many wins would Mike Trout lose if he was forced to wear a 25lb weighted vest at all times while on the field?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:51
I dunno, 0.5? Would be interesting if we had the data to track weight gains.
2:52
But of course a lot of that would sometimes be muscle rather than flab

Which non-Nick Markakis player do you foresee bringing in the most question in SzymChat after week 2 of the regular season?

Request for Barry Bonds projections

If a Toyger kitten showed up at your local animal shelter, would you jump all over that, or are they too flashy for your taste?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:53
I'm not quite ready to adopt an additional cat unless a specific event/need arose.

AvatarDan Szymborski

I sometimes toss cats onto couches or chairs or beds or something.
