Any prospects on your radar due for a major jump in value once we start playing again? Perhaps into the top 15 or so?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I think that we'll actually have slower moves this year.

I'm confident we have some kind of 100 game baseball season. I have very little confidence that there will be meaningful minor league seasons

Odds Dom Smith starts 2021 on the Mets? Trade time finally?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I think he's traded

Jeff

Hmmmmm chat traffic seems down?

Guest

Is last season the best we'll ever see from JD Davis? Mets missing opportunity to sell?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I think there's a very good chance

Funniest thing you've ever seen happen during a baseball game?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

1988 opening day

they gave out these full size calendars for 1988

1:04

but the Brewers were DESTROYING the O's and people lost interest in the game

so the calendars naturally became an armada of paper airplanes

That were finding their way onto the field.

The first base coach, Minnie Mendoza, got hit by one that STUCK IN HIS EAR

Healthy Eric Davis would've gone 50/100 in 162 game season. Yay/Nay?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

I think if he hit that many homers, he would have been allowed to steal less often

Numpty

Was Chili Davis ever beaned?

Sam

If you did space jam but for baseball, who plays the Michael Jordan role?

Dan Szymborski

1:05

Jeter unfortunately.

If you can have an artist design a personal mask for you, what would it look like? You can choose up to 3 themes let's say.

Dbo

more likely to be a Bond villain: Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

Musk I think. He has that edge of weirdness

Jeff

1:07

What does peak Nico Hoerner look like? Is it interesting enough that the Indians will trade Lindor for him and others? They should get on that

Dan Szymborski

1:07

I think he'll be pretty good, though short of superstar status

If the Indians aren't signing Lindor and they're not adding much, they ought to consider a trade

Jeff

1:07

MILF Island or Rogan as Mandela?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

heh

Hinske

1:07

Is Eric Hinske (07-09 Sox Rays Yanks) the only person to play in the WS with 3 different teams in 3 different seasons? All in the same division! That's Khris Davis .247 level absurd, no?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

He might be

BarryBondsJuicedForOurSins

1:07

thumbs up, appreciate the Davis love, be safe out there

Jeff

1:07

Hey man, Jeter is mostly vlass

class*

1:08

How can the players get the media back on their side? Pool together and buy all the media off the owners?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

Players never do well in media.

Too many people actually think their ticket prices are high because of greedy players

THEY'RE GETTING PAID MILLIONS TO PLAY A KIDS GAME!!!!11111oneoneone <fart sound>

On that note, it's time for me to hit that ol' dusty trail.

Thanks for coming everyone!
