Those are five pretty big hurdles and I can't imagine that *I'm* that much more valuable than the best people available that don't have those hurdles

Archimedes

I will say, the Las Vegas Angels is an amusing team name.

Why weren’t the Padres all over clay bucholz and Ervin Santana, etc?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I'd have liked Buchholz, but I'd have little interest in Santana

If they're just going after lotto picks, they have their own in-house

Why don't more teams offer deep fried oreos at their parks?

Good Dan, you stay put. The world needs to have nuanced sandwhich/chili/utensil debates along side its boring old/new (advanced) baseball stats.

Thor

Do you prefer sitting along first base, third, or the outfield?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Outfield or behind plate

You can't really see pitcher stuff as well first base or third base

I haven't had anything illegal since I was in Denver last September and it was legal there!

If two expansion teams were added and divisions were realigned, would that have any effect on the playoff format?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

I'm sure it would as you'd have 8 divisional winners

Matt

What about hurdles? Would actual hurdles be a significant hurdle to you working for a team?

Dan Szymborski

1:03

I wasn't a great runner or jumper even when I was relatively in shape

Like when I actively played sports

Ant Man

Mostly because I want a violent version of the hamburglar

negotiations

Is a Sousaphone easier to carry than a tuba?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

Yes, I've carried both!

You have a shoulder for the sousaphone

1:05

I played baritone horn in wind ensemble in high school and piano with the orchestra

but I'd fill in on tuba/trombone

We didn't have a marching band though

1:06

There was a real lack of interest in my school and on my band teacher's part as well
