Hey guys!

What are your thoughts on Franchy Cordero’s # of plate appearances in the majors this year?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:06
It'd be surprised if he got more than 100 honestly.

Did Thor just peak for the year? 7 of 12 perfect 1st inning pitches at 100 or 101 mph
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:06
Crap, am I missing Thor?

Noah Syndergaard hitting 101 in first ST start. Everything is good in the world

Who would hit more baseballs off a tee, you or Mike Trout after a dizzy bat race?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:06
I can hit off a tee

What do you make of the SFG in 2018?  Do they make the playoffs?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:07
I think they're a wild card contender, but could use evern more help.

Which version of Trevor Story would you predict we see going forward? The one who couldn't stop hitting home runs, or the one the Rockies started benching later in 2017?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:07
Boringly, somewhere int he middle.

Is there value in Reds making some outlays of cash and trending closer to a .500 team?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:07
Not this year, I don't t hin

After the initial run of projections, do you periodically update them based on moves, changes to playing time, etc.?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:08
Well, moves, but playing time changes are part of what I do to project teams, not part of the standard released dataset

Dbacks fan here and I have been scouting out the NL WC competition. I understand all the O/U/logic for the teams besides two--mets and cardinals.  Cardinals have weak rotation depth and an average at best bullpen to go along with an above average, but hardly excellent set of position players. Mets have two aces, pretty solid collection of arms behind those guys to comprise 3 other rotation slots and a sneaky (really?) good bullpen. They have a similarly above average set of position players as the Cards (with maybe best OF offense in MLB). What am i Missing?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:09
I think you may be underestimated the Cards rotation depth.
2:10
Even if you decided that Wainwright is done, they have six pitchers that may be average or better.

How much do you expect the humidor in Arizona to affect Diamondbacks players?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:13
It's very dry, so I imagine that itwill have an effect.  It's one of those interesting things around the league.
Desperate, confused Marlins fan
2:13
Wouldnt it make sense for a team like the Marlins to go after guys like CarGo or Arrieta and then trade them when they recover their value and are needed by a contending team?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:13
Arrieta maybe, but if he wants tot ake a cheap contract, he can get it better places
2:14
I don't think CarGo makes a lot of sense; I'm not sure his value ever recovers

What are the chances Matt Harvey has an actually decent year?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:15
They're disapperaing, but I wouldn't compeltely call him off
CamdenWarehouse

If you had to pick a current star to completely fall off a cliff this year to never recover, who would it be?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:15
Does Miggy still count?  There's a real possibility
UncleWeez
2:15
If Devin Mesoraco opens the year healthy and somewhat productive, do the Reds shop him at the deadline? Barnhart is entrenched, but the backup C options are kinda rough in Cincy
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:15
I think it's likely, but that's also a big if.

Dee Gordon's ZIPs Fld of 7.7 = assuming this is @ 2b? What do you project in CF?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:16
I projected him as a CF

Apparently Kemp lost 30LB and looks fit for Spring Training. Would he still be that atrocious at LF? Chances of a minor rebound where he's no longer the WORST fielder out there but just a bad fielder who still puts up 115-120 wRC+?
AvatarDan Szymborski

He was in the best shape of his life last spring too.
With writers praising how young and spry and fit and motivated he was non-stop.
And he was garbage.
