So, can You help a brother out and give Duplantier a projection?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:13
I'll post public spreadsheet sometime this week witht eh request area.  No guarantees as I don't like projection pitchers until they have AA experience.  I do when I need to, but I try not to

Zips has Trevor Story remaining at his 2017 levels with a bit more SLG and everything else about the same. Why do you think it's not giving him a better chance to rebound to some 2016 levels?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:14
Well, because the year that suggest 2016 level was his ability is only 2016

Should the Yankees go all in on Harper or Machado? Frazier-Machado or Harper-Andujar?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:15
Absolutely, especially machado

Are their unlimited Capri Suns at the fangraphs' clubhouse?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:15
I hate capri suns.  I hated them as a kid because you got 6 ounces instead of 8 and I'd always poke that sharp little straw through the back.
Now Hi-C Ecto Cooler was money.  And you could trade that for ANYTHING.

You have any read on Brandon Moss' future?  Or Matt Holliday for that matter?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Golfing.

I saw an article recently claiming scouts are pretty down on Ohtani's hitting.  Is this just an isolated conclusion, or is this the general view?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:16
Views are all over the place.

How can I convince my friend that not signing Lance Lynn was a good move by the Cardinals?  Am I better off simply finding a new friend?  His name is Karoush, by the way.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:16
Lynn just isn't that good.
The Cardinals have a bunch of OK pitchers.  Lynn doesn't really give them much they don't already have.

Sad day in Reds-land, but the battle for the final rotation spot has left me slightly more optimistic. Not that injuries are good, but which of the young SPs does the Finnegan/DiSclafani news "help" the most?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:19
Mahle I would assume.
Post Malone

Do you think the Yankees brining in infield veterans has anything to do with keeping options open to Make a Move for a big piece?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:19
It could, but I think Walker improves the team in 2018.

Friers and Lynn both reportedly turned down the Orioles to take less lucrative offers elsewhere.  Is the Birds reputation amongst pitchers really that bad?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:20
Naturally, if the Orioles want you, something must be wrong with you as a pitcher.  Total bad PR!

So the Twins 'won' the offseason in terms of value FA/trades, right?  (saw the article on Lynn too, great value for 1 yr)
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:21
They did a really good job.  Like the Angels, they look to be at a place where additional wins have huge playoff consequences.

Will Arrieta have the same success in Philly as he did with the Cubs or is he just a product of a good system? Did he go there just for the cheese steaks?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:22
He'll be fine in Philly.  The infield defense won't match Cubs, but his ability to keep ball down valuable in the park.
Nolan

Is THIS the year Nelson Cruz finally shows some age?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:22
You would think, but he's aged shockingly well.

Do the Reds dip into free agency now that they're down 2 starters? Who might fit?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:22
No purpose.  Winning this year is a nice-to-have, not something you spend on.
awy

so uh, pitch sequencing with the new 3d pitch visualizer statcast tool, seems promising.

Dan, am I looking fantastic or what?
