I think 10-15 is fairer as there is some injury risk

You playing MLB The Show? I haven't gotten it yet because it seems like they really haven't done anything new with RTTS. It could use an overhaul.

Dan Szymborski

1:20

Not this year as I haven't gotten a PS5

Probably will sometime this month now that you can just purchase them

Chip

I saw a lot of punditry saying that TOR would win the ALE on the back of their rotation over NYY. How many games of Toronto's pitching shenanigans will be enough for them to admit that that was a silly projection?

Dan Szymborski

1:21

Well, a couple more gothroughs and I'd be worried

But it depends on the degree

ROBOCOP

1:21

Well sh**...now I need to have another child just so I can name them Buttertooth

daro

1:21

does boston have it to be competitive in 2-3 years?

Dan Szymborski

1:21

Sure. They're not THAT bad a team

Sometimes people talk about them like they're the Reds or something

Alan

1:21

Team O'Neill or Team Marmol?

Dan Szymborski

1:21

I try to take a step back from things like this

1:22

I didn't even consider myself on Team MLBPA during the lockout

I cannot speak for every writer out there, but I do *not* consider myself an advocate for anything other than truth and logic.

1:23

And I don't think I'm qualified to make judgments on personal matters like O'Neill and Marmol

Nor do I think anyone is interested in seeing that from me]

Chris from Catonsville

1:23

Should I be rooting for the O's to promote Westburg and/or Ortiz? That's only going to happen if Mateo and Urias don't hit, and I feel uncomfortable rooting against the laundry. How much better would the team realistically be with the wave of prospect INFers and when will they be up? (not in April!)

Dan Szymborski

1:23

I'd prefer them playing full time SOMEWHERE. Having them up to sit isn't helpful

The Frazier signing really confused me

Most talented

1:23

It might actually be Jackie Robinson given how many sports he played.

Dan Szymborski

AND BO JACKSON

SP help

1:24

Wesneski or Pfaaft?

Dan Szymborski

1:25

I'm a bit more confident than Pfaadt though for fantasy purposes, Wesneski has the distinct advantage of already *being* in the rotation

Johnny two shoes

1:25

You need a profile picture with less forehead…Or more hair

Dan Szymborski

1:25

I'm always had a high hair line and since I'll be 45 in two months, that situation is not going to improve.

On the plus side, I haven't had a single gray hair on the top of my head

1:26

If I let my beard grow out, I do get an occasional snow white hair

and I get the occasional brilliant white hair in my crazy old man eyebrows

1:27

Which are already extremely blonde for me

(I'm naturally kind of reddish dark blonde with my beard generally growing out as straight-up red)

Darin Ruf House

1:28

Is this the lightening round? Yes, it must be the lightening round. OK, here we go. Please give us your 5 point plan for each MLB team on how they should manage player development over the next 5-10 years.

Dan Szymborski

1:28

That's the molasses round

Pawnee = Oakland As Destination?

1:28

what would your walk up song be?

Dan Szymborski

1:28

easy one!
