And besides, there is no sabermetrics war.  Sabermetrics won.
2:51
Thinking that sabermetrics lost the war is like being a German in 1920 who think the army was stabbed in the back.

More likely to happen this season for Stanton--75 bombs or 300 K's?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:51
75 still.  300 is a LOT

Colin Moran better than the projections?

I wouldn't say that.

Think Glasnow is going to get stretched in the bullpen (3IP last time out) to move to the rotation? If so, over/under 12% BB rate once in the rotation?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:52
I think over.  It's still something he has to work on.

Has Ian Kennedy found the fountain of youth?
AvatarDan Szymborski

He needs a very specific fountain of youth that makes you exactly 26

I know you don't answer fantasy questions, so let's pretend that I actually care about both the Brewers and meaningless situational statistics for a minute: Who's going to close in MIL - Albers or Barnes?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:55
I suspect they'll lean on Albers more unless it looks like Knebel will be out even longer

Do you see any of Winker or Schebler providing any value long term?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:56
Winker yes, Schebler's really just a fourth outfielder type when it comes down to it
Though in fairness, Schebler hasn't been terrible in his CF appearances

I need a new ballgmae chant that works in the word "corpulence".  Any ideas?

How much is statcast data incorporated into ZIPs projections?

Used mainly in B ABIP stuff right now

There's talk about how it's fine putting Judge in CF because opportunities are CF are down significantly over the last decade (something like 20-25% fewer chances).  On the flip side, doesn't that mean someone like Hamilton (or Lagares, or Kiermaier) is less valuable?  At least with the Mets, Lagares is a 5th OF.  But shouldn't the Reds trade Hamilton instead of starting him every day?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:58
I'd trade Hamilton.
I do like putting Judge in center.  I like challenging your best young talent.  Give them new hurdles to leap until they can't

Think outside the box, and come up with a between-innings race that isn't the usual food/beverage items.  Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse mascot race.

Am I crazy for thinking this Michael Conforto hype is a little overblown? I think he’s a very solid 3-4 WAR player but it seems as if he’s being regarded as a superstar. Am I wrong?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:59
You're not.  He's a really good player
