Dan Szymborski

2:16

What I don't have is his career projections as of the end of 2009.

It's not in my easy import, so it woudl take me like 15 minutes to get the MLE in there and stuff.

Ben

2:16

How are los gatos?

Dan Szymborski

2:17

All good, but I'm very annoyed I can't figure out how Justinian's getting to the top of doors. He's done it in multiple rooms, none with nearby furniture.

The doors are not held in place.

Lee

2:17

Would you support a 27th roster spot for a "designated defender" just so we could see more dazzling plays from Billy Hamilton and others who are too offensively inept to justify a roster spot?

Dan Szymborski

2:17

It woudl be fun, but a little weird.

Devil Ray Jay Johnson

2:17

If you replaced Dayton Moore as GM today, do you into full rebuild mode by trading off anybody with less than 3 years of club control remaining?

Dan Szymborski

2:17

Yes

Macaca

2:18

Wouldn't 5 years of a cost controlled Verdugo for 1 year of Mookie Betts at 27 million be an overpay for the Dodgers?

Dan Szymborski

2:18

On pure value, yes, but it's tempo, not value the Dodgers are looking for.

Dayton Moore Talking Head

2:18

Over the next 5 seasons, what will be the Royals highest win total?

Dan Szymborski

2:18

Let's say 77

Gopherballs

2:18

I tried to warn you, Future Boy

Magic Kingdome

2:18

Who wins the AL West again first -- Angels, Mariners, or Rangers?

Dan Szymborski

2:19

Angels

Dr. Caligari

2:19

Planning to cook a 3-bean chili (black, pinto, & kidney) with vegan pork (omnipork), 3 different colors of bell peppers, carrots, and sweet corn. Any thoughts?

Dan Szymborski

2:19

What is 3-bean chili? Sounds like a bean stew.

2:20

Wait, where did all the questions go? They're coming in sloooowly.

Test

Dammit

2:21

Five questions in ten minutes!

Usually I get 15 a minute. Did changing the name of the chat screw something up?

dave

2:22

Who has the higher better long term projection? Touki or Tony Gonsolin?

Dan Szymborski

2:22

Touki by a bit

Adam

2:22

If the Dodgers acquire Betts for Verdugo+, do they hold onto Pederson, Taylor, and Hernandez this year, or trade one?

Dan Szymborski

2:22

I think they hang onto them.

Adam

2:23

What's more likely: all ten of last year's playoff teams make it back, or only 5 (or fewer) do?

Dan Szymborski

2:23

5

2:24

Is anyone having trouble asking questions? If so, please respond in the FG post or on Twitter.

Or is 2 PM just ratings death, as spoiled as I am by fancy noon timeslot?

Jim Leyland Palmer

2:24

What kind of contract does Andrelton Simmons command next offseason?

Dan Szymborski

2:24

Monetary, I presume.

(I'm firing up ZiPS, since we can go at a lesiurely pace)

2:26

ZiPS would try to offer 4/87

Chad

2:26

Is Edwin Rios ever gonna get playing time in LA? Kevin Cron gonna steal Walker's job?

Dan Szymborski

2:27

I think Rios is more likely to find playing time in his next organization. He can probably dispatch Beaty if he continues to hit, but the depth chart is steep.

2:28

Cron *could* and if I'm a team that wants a cost-controlled average 1B for awhile, I'm calling up Arizona
