Brandon Fahey is a deep dive!

I had a stick of Carefree gum, but it didn't work. As soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my myriad injuries.

Hi Dan. Fantasy closer question. Hector Neris just went on the IL for undisclosed reasons. (Get well soon, Hector!) Available options include Tony Watson, Mychal Givens, and Wade Davis. Which would you choose, and why? Thanks!

Dan Szymborski

Watson

12:21

He's just the guy I think is likely the best

O's are awful and Davis is scary

Though I'd be tempted to take Davis if I need a moon shot

Check Lewis Brinson's splits in the minors. Colorado Springs says it all. Home/Away was terrible. Rockies somehow did something smart for their franchise for a change at the Marlins expense.

is Zips operational for current KBO? If yes, how is it liking what Koo Chang-Mo and Kang Baek-ho are doing? They’re so young and crushing it!

Dan Szymborski

12:21

It is, but I don't have a daily model running!

Thursday Trivia: Since 1980, who are the only three athletes to play for the St. Louis Cardinals and in the NFL?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Well Chad Hutchinson is the easy one

12:23

Oh Brian Jordan

not sure who number three is

crap, didn't they have a pitcher who was a strike breaker?

12:24

I don't remember the name

Theo Epstein made a comment last year that there's more player development being done at the ML level than ever before, This reminds me of the NFL model of player manangement and strikes me as another salary supressant. Madness?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

Remains to be seen if it's baseball smart. Teams do like having as much control over their players as possible.

Not bitter

Dan, there was a butt-ton of Bobby Bonilla Day coverage yesterday, but we hardly ever hear about Bruce Sutter Day or others. Math-wise, was the Bonilla deferred payment deal exponentially worse than most others, just a little bit worse than most others, or pretty similar to most others? I trust you because I know you're impartial.

Dan Szymborski

12:24

I talk about the Sutter one a lot too!

12:25

It's hard to say which one is worse.

Sutter's interest rate floor was ridiculously high, but it was also at a time that interest rates were high

12:26

And the Mets were paying fora guy that generally played well for them

I can't believe Sutter is in the hall

Judge

12:26

Even banged up Judge seems to crank far better than 2-WAR (ie avg) seasons though

Dan Szymborski

12:27

But I think he's including the injury risk

hscer

We already had a Cy Young winner with only 2 wins and DON'T GIVE ME YOUR RELIEVER ASTERISK THAT'S THE IDEA

Adam Dawson

12:28

Do you see Trevor May getting the majority of holds for the Twins this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:28

I think he'd be the favorite. Also most chicken dinners

Mazel Tov to Bill DeWitt, Jr. for saving 1.3M when Mike Leake opted out. Every penny counts during These Troubled Times.

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Ian Desmond!

Dbo

12:28

What are the odds that the season gets cancelled?

Dan Szymborski

12:28

I think i-in-5

hscer

12:29

why did Stone beat Norris?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Whatcha talking about? Joe Piscopo LOST?

Hot Dog Neophyte

12:29

Hi Dan. If serving chili dogs for July4th, I assume: No beans and No Skyline Chili for the hot dogs? Gotta get this right.

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Yes

Dan Szymborski

12:29

roster

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

What walkoff home plate celebrations are allowed under the current rules?
