Does ZiPS think David Stearns' strategy of not acquiring any elite pitchers because theyre pitchers has struck midnight?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Since pitchers break, it's not a terrible strategy at all!

Laz Montes

12:50

Is he inevitable? Comparables to Yordan might not be so wrong after all...

Dan Szymborski

12:50

He's looking increasingl8y monstrous!

Junior Canyonero

What would you do with roster construction when Kim comes up if you were the Rays?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I mean, he's the obvious SS since that's what they signed him to be and they haven't traded Lowe

Biscuit

Any hope for a Brenton Doyle turnaround? Looks like he is way underperforming his xStats

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I do have hope. He's underperforming similarly in the zips version

Yolmer Carlos Sanchez

12:53

Who will be the White Sox all star this year? Shane Smith has had a rough stretch, it seems to be between him, Chase Meidroth, and somehow, Miguel Vargas.

Dan Szymborski

12:54

This is one of those really weird rosters where it may be someone random like Steven WIlson just because his ERA looks good or Andrew Benintendi because name recognition and having a better year than Robert

jersey numbers

12:55

would you adjust for retired numbers if actually studying this

Dan Szymborski

12:55

I guess you would have to

since a lot of teams have retirements in the single digits

Any chance the Braves tear up Acuna's deal after the season and give a new extension?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

tear up? Probably not, as I can't see them walking away from the 3/51 they basically have him for after this season. But I could see them open to discussing a lucrative extension

What type of profile guy are the tigers going to get before the deadline?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I actually think Detroit will be pretty aggressive

12:57

This may be their best opportunity and it comes whiel they still have some payroll flxibility if they choose to exercise it

Zips see Judge finishing close to 11 WAR and would be his 3rd 11 War season in 4 years. It would be hard to fathom but how likely is it that he catches Trout?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I think fairly low

12:58

I think Judge is amazing, but he's also 33 and nearly *30* WAR behind

Re: Sanchez/Chandler: Current offer is straight up and I will admit that's another reason I'm hesitating

Dan Szymborski

Meh, I'd role with ranger
