Depends how bad your team is. If you're contending now, I wouldn't chase the hope, but if you're not, the theoretical prospect is there

Do you know of a place to directly get the specific "expected" StatCast stats (I mean x1B, xHR, etc, not xwOBA and such, I do know where to get that). Previously xStats.org hosted all that info, but as far as I know that won't be updated for 2019'

Dan Szymborski

12:26

I don't believe so.

I don't make the zBABIP public, though I may at some point

Please tell me the Rockies have a moment of clarity and let McMahon have the full time 2b job. He was just named Spring Training MVP for the Rockies so I am expecting him to be sent straight to single A ball in Maldovia for the next 3 years.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Let's just say I wouldn't bet my life on the Rockeis being smart

If you could put a spell on MLB guaranteeing NO injuries this season, would you? Or do you prefer the randomness and drama injuries bring?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Notice I call the Rockies dumb while being unable to spell "Rockies" correctly.

Well, what are the consequences of casting this spell

12:28

If I lose a year of my life or something by casting this spell, I want to talk with baseball and come to some kind of financial compensation agreement.

BUt if there are no consequences, no amount of randomness or drama can justify not sparing players injury

ICE CREAM BREAKFAST *clap* *clap* *clapclapclap*

Dan Szymborski

12:29

I don't particularly like ice cream.

Can we expect much improvement for Pads pitchers due to what is presumably a massively improved IF defense?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

I think the defense will be excellent and you'll see it in the raw stats

Beamballz

12:29

Do like Keller as a cheap option for dfs opening day

Dan Szymborski

If hs'e scheap

If people were complaining about this year's offseason being boring I can't wait until next offseason, where the lone free agent will inevitably be Keuchel after the 1 year deal he'll eventually take

Dan Szymborski

12:29

There's still some hope left!

12:30

But Goldy, Verlander, Sale, Mikolas off the table is a bad start

Calvinball

You ever play D&D?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

When I was a teenager

But most of my friends don't do gaming stuff anymore

12:31

They all have stuff like "families" and "responsibilities"

An otherwise very nice youngish woman sarcastically refers to "Dan's Fairy Princess Life"

The Twins look median at nearly every position ranking so far.....that seems to make it hard to improve, since they have few gaping holes. What would you have done differently this off season?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

I really think the Twins should have gone big and been involved in Harper/Machado

Art Moreno

12:32

Am I more of a bored sword swallower, or a sore sore wallower?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Whichever one causes you to hilariously overrate Garret Anderson

Gaslamp Gary

12:32

Dan Straily to the Padres maybe?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Blah

Guest

12:32

Dan! Whazzup! Tell me about messr Puig in that gorgeous ballpark. Drafted him as my OF2 in a ten teamer

Dan Szymborski

12:32

He does get some fantasy value

Loch Ness Monster

Hey, think you can lend a guy about $3.50?

Dan Szymborski

IN THIS HOUSE WE EARN OUR MONEY

Beamballz

Is my chat working

Dan Szymborski

12:33

It broken

brad nj

12:34

what do you think of Tyler Nevin?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

I think a lot depends on what position he eventually plays

and it's been disappointing that he hasn't hit for more power than he has
