When is the Angel prospect list coming out? Feeling rather neglected, here.

Dan Szymborski

12:23

Gotta ask Eric! It's his baby!

Hey Dan, who would you take in a fight: Spencer Torkelson or a level 29 Torkoal with a white smoke and overheat setup?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

I think the Torkoal. I don't know how you fight a human sized tortoise

Dude

12:24

Can you please tell Jaffe to do JAWS with fWAR? Thanks

Dan Szymborski

12:25

I don't know the fully story

but I believe that since it was done with BR for so long, it was agreed to keep it with bWAR for stability

Gordon Lightfoot

12:25

What would it take for the Jays to get Kris Bryant and Hendricks?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

A LOT

Jewish Pache

How legit is Austin Riley? Running a .400 BABIP and his wOBA > his xwOBA but the xwOBA is still .370. We buying in or is this just a hot streak?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

He's on a hot streak, but I think he'll still be fine

Brad NJ

12:25

is Bundy a buy low right now?

Yes

What's more likely, that we see someone hit .400 again, or an ERA under 1.00 (qualifying)?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

ERA under 1

Wanna guess who leads all MLB SS in wRC+ with a minimum of 50 PAs, at 184?

Dan Szymborski

12:28

CHARLIE BLACKMON!

(Sorry)

I did a clickbait headline thing neural network run for baseball and there's a funny Blackmon one in there

12:29

near the bottom of the middle column

So, after a few requests, I then generated an article for that headline

12:30

And then, since the article reference Blackmon's feud with Ben Affleck (!), I generated an article on THAT theme

Yup, this is how I spend my life

The White Sox getting Adam Engle back is that enough that Rick Hahn will not look to acquire an outfielder and instead wait until Roberts and Jimenez come back later in the year ?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

Sadly, yes.

Cat Latos

12:32

Am I dumb to start learning to code now and actually think I could get a job in baseball entering my 40s? Gonna learn anyways since I can get a not-baseball job

Dan Szymborski

12:32

Learn something because you want to learn something and then see what happens

Brian Cartwright sells a lot of data to teams and he's like in his 50s I think

Thought I might be fooled by his mustache

I assume everyone with a mustache is 55
