I did not, actually

Mike

What are your thoughts on Domingo Santana? I've remained stubbornly optimistic with him so far

Dan Szymborski

3:00

I'm in your bin.

Why is Kemp even in the NL anymore? He can't field that many games a year....

Dan Szymborski

3:00

If he's a 180 OPS+ guy, well, that makes up for his defense!

Erik

What's more likely: someone beats a healthy Trout to the top of the batter WAR leaderboard, or someone beats a healthy Kershaw to the the top of the pitcher WAR leaderboard.

Dan Szymborski

3:00

healthy kershaw

Villar Redux

3:00

If Delino DeShields (aka DDS, aka The Dentist) keeps his job, he's this year's J. Villar, right? .320-30 OBA, 5-10HR, 40+ SB?

Dan Szymborski

3:00

Too optimsitic for my blood

Garza Gifs

Do people need to relax on Schwarber a bit? While it seems like he is a veteran, he has a total of 400 at bats only. I don't think we can really tell exactly what he is or isn't yet.

Dan Szymborski

3:01

I tried WARNING people that he isn't without risks.

But it's hard when you see his power to remember that!

Hmm

3:01

Is Corey Seager basically a young Joey Votto at short? Batted ball profiles very similar

Dan Szymborski

3:01

You mean the WORST PLAYER ON THE REDS THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BAD THINGS EVER BECUASE I'M A BRENNAMAN?

Sam

3:01

Is Aaron Hicks good enough to trade Brett Gardner?

Raviolis as a sandwich is unbelievably patently absurd. Who eats 20 sandwiches in a sitting?

Dan Szymborski

3:02

I think I'm too old to be allowed to punch my sister

Andrew

3:02

Most overrated and underrated desert?

Dan Szymborski

3:02

Overrated: Sahara

'Underrated: Gobi

Jorge de la Rosa - are you buying his recent success as transition to the bullpen? ZiPS forecasts regression, but those projections are based on his SP data, right?

Dan Szymborski

3:02

Yeah, the relief projections would be different.

Ajay

A healthy Shohei Otani makes 32 starts in the MLB this year, how many WAR as a pitcher only?

Dan Szymborski

Allow me to modify someone else's question: If you found 200 dollars on the street in the form of ten 20's rubber-banded together with a post-it on them saying "For use by finder," how would you waste it?

Dan Szymborski

3:02

Deposit it into my bank account.

976

3:03

Where is Hyun Soo Kim a good fit? Because its not "on the bench".

Dan Szymborski

3:03

One of the teams Buck doesn't manage. Preferably one that can use him as a DH.

Babe Lincoln

3:03

If you think ice cream is overrated, then you're a Communist.

Dan Szymborski

3:03

Sorry, it's true.

And I say facts, not opinions!

Matt

Eric Thames and Aaron Judge enter a cage match. Each gets a baseball bat, though Thames' is slightly longer to account for his size disadvantage. Both players fight to the death. Who walks out?

Dan Szymborski

3:03

Eric Thames is the veteran, so I t hink he'd have a trick up his sleeve

3:04

like a poison dart or something

hscer

3:04

"toasty players don't hit like this that often, even for a month" I bring you the five weeks Danny Espinosa had from late last May to early July

Dan Szymborski

3:04

I said that often!
