Admittedly made that comment right before noticing the new article. Oops...But also would be interesting to see the Diamondbacks especially, since they've got both Cron and Lamb as immediate options, with Smith and Beer as possible options depending on how they fare. Plus, gives at least an option to make use of Tomas that isn't a defensive drain.

From taxi squad to DH, I have Arizona as team with 5th most benefit

Dan, were you as disappointed as me that you couldn't play the Detroit Tigers over 56.5?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

I hadn't gotten to the point at which I was seriously considering over/unders yet!

Can you make a Zips projection about how many rainbows I will see this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I would imagine I need some rainbow data plus your region.

12:57

I guess a combination of sunlight/humidity and historical rainbow data?

Also quite a few fans use the argument of "If you don't like it, just find another job".

ZiPS seems WAR agnostic (as in it projects a lot of related things, but there's no zWAR that I know of), how would you alter the stand WAR framework if you were to generate your own?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

For one, I'd have positional value change long term

12:58

and two, I'd use an adjusted FIP, regressed differently based on a player's history.

I believe you should treat Tom Glavine's 1992 WAR differently in 2005 than you would in 1992

Great revenue idea for fangraphs inspired by seeing you on ESPN yesterday.

Didnt finish my question

Dan Szymborski

12:58

We still have a deal with ESPN!

Do you make up not getting bullied in HS by hosting a chat where random strangers bully you about your opinions on chili and sandwiches?

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Am I being bullied?

12:59

I thought we were having an amiable exchange of crazy ideas.

"but some opinions are less valid than others". sure, that's true. But the judgement on what is a less valid opinion, is also an opinion and that is driven by your own personal bias rather than anything that can be factually proven. "less valid than others" is just a fancy way to say to the other person....I think you're an idiot and so I choose to be dismissive of what you said.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Sometimes, you gotta do that.

Dan without ads you have PBS. For every Downton Abbey you get the guy painting trees for an hour then he hangs the picture up in a low end motel near the airport.

Did you see Bauer's tweet calling the owners' media based strategies out? I imagina it's time to leak some more dirt on Bauer

Dan Szymborski

"Yeah, but I'm not troubled by bad opinions. I'm sure I have some too."

"Yeah, but I'm not troubled by bad opinions. I'm sure I have some too."
Like, say, chili orthodoxy.

Dan Szymborski

No, I'm sure about that one.

Dan, what kind of article do you hate writing but it does okay numbers and so you do it anyway?

The ad-free membership really is a game changer.

Blue Morpho

Is this the type of season that benefits implementing many rule changes or do you think it would be better playing them out in a normal season?

Dan Szymborski

I rather see goofy rule changes in a OMG WE JUST NEED THEM TO PLAY season
