Mike Leake has a no trade clause and isn't really exciting as a 3, but he might be an honest 4 (2-3 WAR pitcher) who is available. Is that a desirable commodity?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

I think he meant service time

Or may be I'm wrong

Pat G

12:35

Any fear Patrick Corbin regresses once the league has a chance to adjust to the new pitch mix?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

Not really

Nick

12:35

Who is called up first? Who sticks in the rotation?: Luzardo, Paddack, Cease.

Dan Szymborski

12:35

Paddack first

Kimbrel s Real Estate Agenr

12:35

When do I shop or do I even shop for homes in Dc area ?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

You should probably have a contract first

Turtle Jetpack

12:36

Didn't JR Richard have a short career too?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

He had like 5 or 6 full years before the blood clot in a four-man rotation, no? I woul dimagine he has more

are socks like burritos?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I can't even

Which current player has your personal favorite highlight reel? What about all time?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

My favorite all-time baseball GIF was Jose Fernandez catching that liner

12:38

For different reasons, I love Brendan Ryan and Delmon Young defense GIFs

Keuchel's slow free agency is so weird to me. Starting pitchers have done OK in this market, and he's going to give you 200 innings, probably of mid-rotation quality, and he doesn't have unreasonable demands like Kimbrel. Is there something I'm missing as to why he hasn't found a home yet?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

DOES he not have unreasonable demands? Hard to verify it

Laloosh

12:38

Does Alonso start the year with the Mets?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I think in the end, no

tom

12:38

why didn't you go to the fangraphs meet up?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I hurt a disc in my back that was already bulging so I'm taking it extremely easy

Matt

12:39

Eventually Dan, you will push back the start of the chat rather than make this fascistic attempt to push forward or backward the start of my lunch.

Turtle Jetpack

12:39

Does Keuchel get more than 4/60? Does Keuchel take reduced AAV to get more years and a larger guarantee? Houston apparently has offered 2 yrs.

Steve O

28 man rosters in september kind of stink, right? Just from a player mindset standpoint. If you're on the 40 man roster after a good season, you come up and make more money and experience the big leagues. That's going away for a lot of future big leaguers.

Dan Szymborski

12:41

I'd have to add up the rosters in September

12:42

I don't think they've finalized the wording, have they?

Not Dan

12:42

Does ZiPS take into account things like the humidor being added in Arizona? Was there enough of a discernible difference? If Adam Jones lucks into more PT in Arizona, would it have a negative effect on his HR power?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Still use weighted multiple season, because even if there's a known effect, the signal is lost in the noise in one-year factors

Sometimes I feel lazy and don't feel like sending chat questions is. By doing this, am I being selfishly lazy? Or am I benevolently allowing for others to have their questions answered?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Your desire to ask a question should overcome indolence.

12:43

If not, you probably shouldn't ask the question!

Turtle Jetpack

Butler put up 6WAR, had a 115 wRC+ in 1400 games; Cust had 7 WAR, 123 wRC+, 600g; Vogelbach's done nothing yet. But I'm just saying the bar isn't very high to win this contest.

Chile actually has beans....tortola beans, coscorron beans and bayo beans are its major bean crops....

My name is Judge...

12:43

re: dan late night show. i disagree with your assessment. i would watch every night for you to make dry snarky comments and of course for galileo's cat corner (don't know what it is but im sure it will be great)

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I don't do monologues or anything very well

Matt

12:43

I feel like you might be a good addition to Norm MacDonald Has A Show
