The king he wears a broken crown/his house of rubble, halfway down/it's time to leave this land alone/to sail away his driftwood throne.

Dan, talk about the holes on the Nationals roster. Is this a case of a lack of health? A lack of depth? Or mis-reading the competition in the division? Still think they run away with the East?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:34
The OF depth isn't really bad
2:35
Difo was actually better than I thought, but I don't think their spare infield options are all that great

Clearly the Rays are showcasing Sergio Romo's talents for blowing games in the early innings AND late innings.  It's an astute move.  There's a strong market out there for these kinds of results.

I have added Edwin Jackson in my dynasty league. What should I expect RoS?

You better be in a 50-team league

2 parts - do you ever compare your preojections with other systems and see anything out of whack and then re-evaluate?  For instance, let's say you have Donaldson hitting 40 hr's and everyone else has 30 - do you reassess?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
Generally speaking, systems tend to be close.

2nd part - do your projectiuons typically come out before others?  around the same time?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
I like to give them out in dribs and drabs, team-by-team, over the offseason
More fun that way

With his injury, is worrying about Justin Turner when all his indicators are basically the same (other than D) the equivalent of "April!" ?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
It's still April
for him
ITS ALWAYS APRIL SOMEWHERE
Wait, that doesn't work

The amount of hamstring,groin and oblique injuries SHOULD be an embarrasment to MLB and the supposed physio staffs of all the teams. Pitchers can't run without hurting themselves and it seems like everyday going from first to third is more dangerous than than waking through a minefu
AvatarDan Szymborski

Hamstring and groins were always a thing
But when did we start having obliques and capsules?  I dont' remember those growing up.  Did humans start growing those recently?

I have been polling a number of the vast army of trolls who pepper you with nonstop Nick Markakis questions and predictions.  Now that he is an allstar and in light of your immediate resignation, would you like to recommend a colleague who will be inundated with similar questions about an as yet unidentified player (perhaps Johan Camargo or Eddie Rosario) who will be catapulted to stardom through sheer force of massive trollery, and thus demonstrating the egregious falsehood of that colleague's reasoning?

Ask Gleeman if Luis Rivas is going to have a big comeback

If baseball players were like pokemon and could only communicate through saying their own name, who would give the best interviews?

Hey Dan, your baseball writing and projection systems but your most important work is your dogmatic approach to delicious foods. Keep fighting the good fight!

Did you ever think Tucker Barnhart would be an average hitter?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:39
He's a decent player that always projected well

What is up with all the groin, hamstring and oblique injuries? Pitchers can't cover first base without pulling something and batters going from first to third is more dangerous than walking through a minefield with clown shoes on.  Where is the conditioning failing?....and hand injuries with headfirst slides is a different rant.

Is Eugenio Suarez a top 10 3b?
