Hi Dan! Need Zips to justify my recently-purchased Bieber cards. What’s the computer see in next 10 years? Only interested in answers that provide confirmation bias. :-)

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Well, ZiPS think he';s pretty awesome now, so no reason to expec otherwise except for injury!

Bob Pollard

Who do you think is the closest comp to Wander Franco, not in terms of talent but in the consensus that he's going to be a stud? Vlad Jr? Profar? No one?

Any tips for an aspiring data analyst looking to get into sports?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Think of interesting questions and then figure out how to answer them.

That's where you get the most out of it

I haven't looked closely because I'm lazy, but I'm assuming ZIPS has an opinion on Dunning moving from Chi-town to Texas. What say you? Is Dunning still good now that he is in Texas?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I think he's fine iether way

CeddyBReady

12:51

I'll take the under on the Pirates' HRs at 49.5

Guest

In the top 100, Edwards is above Padlo, but Padlo is above Edwards on the 2021 projection. I’m assuming it’s a length of time factor, so which does the top 100 take into account: years of team control vs career vs next year?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

It's just career

I don't hae it front of me, but it's likely one has a longe rprojected peak

Dave

12:51

With the DH gone from the NL, does it have any effect on the number of projected innings from NL starters?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Not for me, no

The Pain and the Smell

12:52

If the over/unders for Ohtani are set at 100 innings pitched and 450 plate appearances, what are you taking?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Under and over

He's an injury risk until proves otherwise!

Dee Arby

12:52

Dan, he’s our man, if he can’t do it, who else can?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Lots of people I'm sure!

Mr. Fister

12:52

What would be your ideal lineup allignment if you managed the Blue Jays?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

One spot for each player on the field, with the DH replacing the pitcher.

Otherwise the umpire gets mad!

Mr. Fister

12:53

Is Thomas Szapucki a real person, or does he just show up on lists once in a while? Will he ever pitch, anywhere?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

For a long time, I wasn't sure if James Kaprielian actually existed

Guest

12:53

Will the Pirates get to 50 HRs?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I think so

LFC Mike

12:53

I here analysts often say they are cautiously optimist about a player...but never have I heard they are carelessly negative about one...

CeddyBReady

12:54

As an aspiring data analyst that recently got a job doing analytics, learn query languages. Catching up on that has been the hardest part for me. I wish I had been interested in it as a yoof.

Mr. Fister

12:54

Okay, smart-ass, lineup order then.....

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Not being a smartass would go against brand

12:56

I *think* I'd go Biggio, Vlad, Teoscar, Springer, Bichette, Semien, Tellez, Gurriel, catcher

JO D
