Is Straily the best guy who will be DFA'ed this week?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

No. I'd rather have Chasen Shreve

Thor

12:52

I'm kind of upset Duke won yesterday. You?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I'm really disconnected from college basketball these days

12:53

How should I make A's possessive? A's'? A's? Just say Athletics'? There are no good options.

Thank you for adding Richard Lovelady to the depth chart so I can look at the Royals page and see two pitchers with a FIP/ERA projected below 4.00. This rebuild is going great!

Dan Szymborski

12:53

They did show interest in him in the spring

12:54

Both projection systems love Lovelady I believe

The notion that a good single-player mode like KaC's Dungeon Run siphoned off players from the ladder is ridiculous.

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Yeah, did blizzard say that?

Chorizo

12:54

Alonso start/keep NYM 1B job?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I think he'll keep it

Dallas in Minneapolis

12:54

This should've happened months ago

Dan Szymborski

12:54

It's the 3/25/19 chat. It can only happen on 3/25/19

12:55

maybe it should have happened 100 years ago, but there was no internet and I was not born yet and my grandfather was only 8

and it's not a preview of my 3/25/2119 chat because I will by dead

Say something nice about Ketel Marte.

Dan Szymborski

12:55

I think he'll be fine in center

Chorizo

12:55

I walked 8.6 miles this morning. Will I lose weight if I do that every day?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I would imagine you'd have to unless you're finishing every walk with a celebratory cake

Bigfoot Erotica

12:56

Who would win a fist fight, Crazy Joe Gallo, the mobster, or Joey Gallo, the baseballer?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I think the mobster would win

Clown Question

12:56

If you could play any position which would you play?

does 'Bo Bichette' rhyme with 'Boba Fett' or 'throw machete'?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

boba fett

or I pronounced Dante Bichette's name wrong for 30 years

Lori Loughlin

12:57

Paddack vs Strahm. Who will have the bigger impact this year and who would you prefer as a keeper

Dan Szymborski

12:57

paddack easily. strahm's interesting, but paddack has startential

Rog

12:57

What are the odds that Harper has less WAR this year than each of the Nat's three outfielders?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Probably under 10%

Trent

12:57

The article on the Goldschmidt extension mentioned running the deal through Fangraphs' "contract estimator." Is that just shorthand for an ad hoc $/WAR analysis, adjusting for inflation etc., or is there an actual tool or program that you guys use to spit out the numbers? And if the latter, any chance you'd like to make it public for us visitors to the site to play around with? (Please?)

Dan Szymborski

12:58

we have a *lot* of tools for various things, because sean dolinar is a frigging genius

I don't use the contract estimator though as I have zips for taht

Matt

12:58

Wait...the Thong Song guy plays for Baltimore?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Sisqo wasn't a captain

Trevor

12:59

ZIPS and Steamer hate Scooter Gennett so much that the Reds' projected record improved by a game after his injury. What sort of contract do you think he'll end up with in free agency after this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I think it'll be Cozartish, maybe a tad better
