Anything is a racial slur, depending on who you ask.

I liked Aziz Ansari's bit where he tried to invent a racial slur

The Yankees might be fine playing Andujar at 3B, but my sim team is not. Except we can't DH him cuz we're in the NL. Do I need to trade him or are we getting an OF rating on the future outfielder?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

He has 0 professional games in OF.

He ain't getting a DMB rating

Don't sell yourself short. Your chat record has been pretty good since Carson left.

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I've been better since I joined FanGraphs!~

12:53

THe simple fact is that before, I had a primary employer and things they wanted me to do took priority over my cameos at FanGraphs

12:54

Now, tis' not an issue!

Whether more Dan chats is a benefit to you or a detremit, that's up to you!

Orioles traded away international bonus slot money to the Rangers. Do the Orioles no longer intend to sign any big international free agents? Who are the Rangers eyeing?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

I think the O's just liked the guy

Is Jake Lamb a legit 1B or did you just slot him in there because the D-Backs didn't have plans there at the time. Does he have a viable position still?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I think he's just stuffed there because they have Escobar and traded Goldy

Vlad Jr. did a face plant head first slide yesterday that had all of Toronto making pee pee in their collective pants. Tatis Jr. broke his thumb last year on head first slide....etc etc etc WHEN WILL THE MADNESS STOP? No head first slides!!!!! Teach it.... Now back to your regularly scheduled chat about baseball and nothingness...and not in that order.

Zips is definitely a weed term but I've never heard it used as any kind of slur?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Unless you don't like Zip's burgers in Cincinnati

12:57

or you have some weird bias against these generic Ritz crackers sold at Kroger

Jim Broni

Have you ever farted and blamed a cat?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I have not

You mentioned in the Dodgers ZiPS that ZiPS is high on Muncy. But it still only gives him 385 PA. Does ZiPS project PA based on prior years' plate appearances, or does it take into account other things? It seems like if his skills are truly that good, he should be getting more PA than 385 and there's been chatter the Dodgers will platoon less this year.

Prior playing time, age, injury, quality
