history, age, specific injuries

though that's longer-term

Do you think Kimbrel ends up settling for a 1/2 year deal, or does he eventually get the 4/5/6 year deal he's looking for?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

I think he'll get a reasonable non-exorbitant three-year deal

The Old Buccaneer

12:31

Is it strange the Yankees didn’t want to give 10 year deals to Machado or Harper but just gave a 7 year deal to Hicks, who is 3 years older?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Well, they're paying him a lot less.

Forget Harper and Machado. What has been your favorite minor league deal this offseason?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

Xavier Cedeño

or was that a non-guaranteed major league deal? I forget

12:34

if that doens't work, maybe Luis Avilan

12:35

though FAVORITE is Matt Davidson as I want a DH-slash-eephus-pitcher

Tim

12:35

In a fantasy league which list is most important Wrc or ops

Dan Szymborski

12:35

probably ops since at least OBP is frequently a category

Do you think Nimmo is given or plays his way into everyday ABs, or will he end up being part of a rotation with McNeil, Lagares, Broxton (and eventually Cespedes)? Are you a Nimmo fan?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I think he'll squeeze out 500 PA or so. I hope

if he doesn't get 500 PA and he isn't losing a foot or something, everyone there should be fired probably

What is the current Top 3 in fan bases that you hate?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I don't hate fan bases.

Now, if we flip that around

12:37

and just the fan bases that hate me the most, it's probably Rockies, Royals, and the Marlins fan.

What would, say, the Dodgers look like if Dayton Moore was in charge?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Probably like the pre-Friedman Yankees. Winning, but old, expensive, inefficient

The Old Buccaneer

12:37

Thank you for not leaving us.

Dan Szymborski

12:37

See, me being terrible worked out for you guys!

Fermanny Tatichado

12:37

In your opinion, is Machado worth $300M over 10 years and was this is a good move for San Diego?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Yes, yes

SadSoxFan

12:37

What does ZiPS think of 2019 Ervin Santana?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

"Pass."

Bad news aside, great job on the SoxMachine podcast!

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I admit in my heart I'm always surprised when people enjoy my podcasts/radio appearances.

I really hate my voice.

It sounds like Ira Glass talking while eating a bagel

Mark

12:38

What kind of year statistically do you expect from Machado? 30 HR, 350 OB%, 4 WAR?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

Guys the ZIPS were right there in Jeff's piece!

Peter Lambert v. Justus Sheffield. What do you think?They faced each other yesterday.

Dan Szymborski

12:39

I didn't see it so I don't have impressions of the starts

Don Von Handburger

12:39

Do you think we'll see a Juggalo in major league baseball within the next 5 years?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

We might already. I believe disclosing your cosplay-clown-metal affinites are against HIPAA

In a superhero sandlot baseball game, who would be first pick?
