But seriously, talk me down and tell me why Marmolejos isn’t a very good sleeper bat in the mold of Jose Martinez? Could be helpful, right?

Dan Szymborski

1:11

He's at least interesting. Seems like the type who ends up in Japan

If a player is on the 26-man roster for both games of a doubleheader, does he get two days of service time?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

Not normally since it's days and not games, but I imaigne something would have to be changed in a shortened season

Everyone in 1995 got a full year of service time

Morbo

what time will the chat be over today? so I can post proof of naming a fantasy team the winning result?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

I'm going to close it in about 5 minutes as I have other work to do

You can post the proof next week!

1:13

Assuming you're healthy

if I'm not, you can do it in Ben or Jay's chat and confuse them

Ronaldo

I know what ZiPS thinks about Matt Olson, but what do you think about him? He's one of the players I'm most excited to watch this season.

Dan Szymborski

1:13

I like him a lot

Other work as in figuring out how to use your projecting skills in the upcoming apocalypse?

Dan Szymborski

1:13

Getting the ZiPS in-season stuff ready

Still want to plan things normally

H2H points league: Would you rather keep a $0 Gallen or a $0 Luzardo

Dan Szymborski

1:13

Gallen for certainty, Luzardo for upside

Morbo

I'm sure ill be fine I'm actually a news monster and therefore immune to the corona virus

Will

Is there a schedule for when each team's prospect ranking list will come out? I've been eagerly awaiting the list for the Mariners

Dan Szymborski

1:14

I believe there's a list, but I am not privy to it

And even if it were, I don't even tell you guys the *ZiPS* order!

Slapshot

What four pro wrestlers would you put on your version of a pro wrestling Mount Rushmore?

Dan Szymborski

1:15

Guerrero/Hart/Flair for sure

Even brain-damaged, I can hardly put Benoit up there, even if he was my favorite wrestler at the...uh...time

1:16

I'll go with Hennig

LScott

Suarez.

End.

From a giveaway awhile back

I don't really collect physical things

Springer McSpaniel

1:17

So, projections think the Mariners are somewhere between bad and horrible. As a Mariner fan, I find this a little lazy. Walker, Graveman, and Marco should be average. I think Sheffield and Kikuchi are going to be better than that. The lineup is so young, I get dinging them for lack of track record, but their range of outcomes is very high. Am I thinking too hard about projections, or not hard enough?

Dan Szymborski

1:17

How are computer projections lazy?

huh?

1:17

You collect metaphysical things?

Dan Szymborski

1:17

I'm more of a digital hoarder

And on that note, time to end the chat for another week!

Hope to see you all next week!

And the poll has ended Morbo
