I wouldn't. I think the Pirates are happy having Meadows consolidate his gains

Can you explain Abreu (2.4 t-9th) and Pujols (1.5 t-18th) having positive BsR value?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:43
Don't look at me. I'd design BsR differently

What do you expect from W. Ramos when he comes back later next month? Steamer has him pegged at a .309 wOBA, below his career .320

Injured catcher is a who knows!
To the chess guy, email me (it's in my twitter sig) and we can play some chess.
But I'm very rusty. I haven't played regularly for a long time.

What would someone have to do to you for you to hold a 3 year grudge of wanting to inflict pain upon them? Other then being Cistulli.

Has Quintana's trade value gone down, what would Yanks have to give up to acquire now
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:45
The problem is I don't think what they would accept for him has gone down.

If the fangraphs staff (I'm counting you even though you mostly just chat/project) were the heads a Front Office with Cameron as GM and Longenhagen as head scout, how good do you think they would be? Probably not Theo-level good, but not Stewart-level bad, right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:45
I think that if you took the whole group, it'd be pretty decent, because there's a wide range of skillset among people.

Yonder Alonso should start the All-Star game in the AL, but do you think there is any chance he actually will?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
Over Judge? No.
Zorn

Where are you at with Hunter Renfroe right now?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
Just friends.

Am I the only one who hears "Mookie Betts" and thinks "Bernie Goetz"?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
What?
Billy Beane
2:46
Saves are obviously dumb, but what did you think of Nate Silver's Goose Egg? Interesting, or more work than it is worth?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
It's better than saves for sure.
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
2:47
You'd likely get more production out of Tim Salmon than Mike Carp at this point.

Does ZIPS treat a drug suspension the same as an injury, then? As in, it knows that you missed 80 games but is agnostic as to why?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:47
Yup.
Generic "time missed" I have as less than a generic injury.
Rest of Year
2:48
Who would you rather own for the rest of this season: Matt Harvey or Lamet?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:48
It's weird to say this, but I think I'd take Lamet
Danny Salazar's Elbow

Is Quintana droppable in a 10 team league?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:48
That's too aggressive, even without knowing who is on yoru waiver wire
Jack

Is Chase Utley the greatest baserunner of all time?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:49
I think that's Sabathia
Curious George

What percentage of questions would you estimate you usually get to answer?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:49
About 20%
About 20% are complete nonsense.
About 20% are way too specific about personal fantasy teams to be interesting to readers in large doses.
So I answer about a-third of the ones I'd like to.
Don't you forget about me

Given how well Thames did to start the year, is Jesus Aguilar being overlooked for how good he is?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:50
Well, Thames has done it in more playing time and he destroyed his minor league last few years while Aguilar was just kinda there.
Billy Beane
2:50
(Judge and Alonso don't play the same position)
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:51
Oh, I thought they had been listed as DHs on the ballot.
