How many team totals over/under plays are you taking this year?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I haven't made any yet!

If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?

I know what you're trying to do here, so I'll just say ssergorp.

What's MORE likely: the Braves end up a playoff team in 2018 or sign Harper or Machado in the off-season?

Why do people always reference Ben Zobrist as the first super utility guy?  Seriously though Infante had been that guy for a year or two prior to Zobrist even being in the Show.

Seriously Dan, Capri Sun is made better by the bagginess of it all. If it were sold in a can would you like it less/more?

More.

Juice boxes on the otherhand are unmatched. Ecto Cooler will always be king. Long Live Ecto Cooler

It's literally made of slimer and corn syrup, I heard.
There was always the dread that a foolish grandparent or parent would accidentally buy you Juicy Juice
2:44
For some reason, depsite being more juice it really tasted weird.  Like teh cherry flavor was cherry juice, but it was made by some guy squashing cherries in his armpits.
Juicy Juice had zero trade value, it was like an Orioles signed player.

If you had to pick three NL Wild Card contenders, who would they be?

Cardinals, Brewers, Diamondbacks

What's the one breakout I keep betting on that never pans out?

Danny Salazar because that's me every year

This one kid at my school would always have oreos and he could get literally whatever he wanted for lunch. My ham and cheese lunchables might as well have been prussian franks because I couldn't trade for anything with them.

Fruit Sharks! Yes! Those were gold. Could even get chromies for some of those.

How do you account for years of control for young players in the future power rankings? It seems like the Cubs are getting a little underrated because that doesn't factor strongly enough into future value. They control all their important position players for at least 4 more years (Contreras, Happ, and Almora for all five years of the rankings). It just seems like even with the weak farm system, they have enough "future value" on their roster to rank ahead of the Cardinals and Braves.

It's folded in the current players.

Have you ever prank called a MLB player or front-office executive?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
No, but a fellow by the name of John Mosey and I would crank IM Bill James occasionally in the late 90s.

I'm kind of new to the projection systems here on fangraphs.  What's the difference between steamer and zips?  Zips seems a lot more generous to me.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
Jared Cross is stingy and generates his projections by squeezing out orphan steam urchins with steamrollers.

I ate least give them gruel.

Greg Holland- where do you think he'll end up?

I could see him with the Angels.

Do you think Acuna will break camp with Braves or be a May call up?
AvatarDan Szymborski

He'll start in minors for obvious reasons but be up before May
