i was shocked to see '24 & '25 projs for Jordan Walker were sub-100 wRC+, is he just too young for the sims to expect MLB production yet?

ZiPS saw him as high risk - that's a problem you run into with mean proejctions sometimes

But high upside

I talked quite a bit about this, including when I had him in my breakouts piece

As a piano player I am biased towards Chopin but I will concede you made good points

I love Chopin

I probably should explain why I chose Liszt up there

1:09

He understood orchestral color much better than Chopin did

1:10

And he showed more evolution as a composer. Some of his later works were *very* different and forward looking

1:11

In some of the very latest works, there are hints of Bartok

1:12

and a lot of hints of impressionism

(Berlioz was the best orchestrator of the romantic era, of course)

If you were to work in an MLB front office, what would be your ideal role? You want to be the GM, right?

I would not be a good GM

I'm someone who has to have the freedom to explore projects based on whim, seeing where they go
