Don't make me spoil all my March articles!

What could be the Yankees rationalization for playing a broken down 36 year old LF everyday vs. signing an all-world 26 year old left handed superstar bat for nothing but cash?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

The're some rot in the root cellar.

Only so much cash to go around!

Does the ZiPS machine give you an idea of the odds Bumgarner returns to his 92 mph form circa 2014-2015?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Yeah hold on a sec

12:54

OK, his two best ERA+ were 146 and 131

12:55

Sadly, ZiPS runs a little bit faster on my main rig than my statnerd rig now

Maybe I'll convert it into a threadripper, but I'd have to lose my little prodigy case

(it's in a red bitfenix prodigy case)

12:56

ZiPS gives Bumgarner a 6% chance of hitting an ERA+ of 146, 14% 131

Should Indians fans be disappointed in this offseason? I get the budget constraints, but I also get the fact that their window is open right now )and might even be closing), shouldn't they be utilizing a starting outfield that does not include Jordan Luplow

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I would be

12:57

I still don't understand why they didn't QO Brantley

What are your thoughts on Senzel moving to CF? Are they screwing him up long term or giving him a chance?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Any way they can get him in the lineup, they should

This week's Battle Royale: TV Commercial Characters. NON FOOD DIVISION (otherwise the Jolly Green Giant wins everyweek..right?). I take old school Brawny Guy. First out of the ring is the Pillsbury Dough Boy...he just giggles anyway.

Dan Szymborski

12:58

old school brawny guy would beat the crap out of metrosexual brawny guy

Don't know how large king vitaman's army is

oh wait, kinda getting back to cereal

but he's the JOLLY green giant, not the angry green giant

That would be a good name for my generic store brand frozen vegetable company: Angry Golem

Can I make chili with ground beef or does it have to be brisket?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I'd accept ground beef

Frankenberry is a sentient golem. How do you stop that?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Frankenberry is the doctor.

Jamie

That Superman cereal is BS. Not a real cereal mascot. Tony the Tiger all the way

I've made a good living for a decade!

Not like Buy a House in San Francisco living, but I have no complaints

Bob

You didn't post a ZiPS for Issac Paredes who is one of their best prospects and finished the year in AA!

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I did do one afterwards, let me grab it

Who is the best pinch hitter in baseball this last decade?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

It's barely a specific role in baseball anymore. It's just the "other guys" now

1:02

It's probably someone like Seth Smith or Matt Stairs

Cove Dweller

How is the Pillsbury Doughboy part of the Non-food division?!

Dan Szymborski

1:02

non-cereal division

1:03

Fun Joe Randa Fact: he was once traded for LeBron.

Dan Szymborski

1:03

Different one
