though that was more damning with faint praise

12:34

I dont' think he' s*this* good, but he's become a very disciplined player, so he'll sweat out an interesting OBP at times.

Dave Dombrowski

12:35

Can I get a top 50 prospect for Jean Segura? Usually I give away prospects so not realllllly sure what they are worth today. Thanks for your help Dan

Dan Szymborski

12:35

Top 50? That's still a bit of a stretch for me. But you do get the option year.

I do think you can get a good package from a team with a very specific need

12:36

But it's really hard to pry top 50 guys away from teams

Like Yu Darvish didn't

12:37

The Rays did with Snell, but Snell also had a lot more trade value

San Dymborski

12:37

Hi Dan, thanks for hosting today's chat! What advice do you have for statistically-minded people to get into the field? Start writing our own blogs? In-person scouting of local minor league talent? Thank you :)

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Depends what aspect! The last part you shoudl ask Eric

As for statistics, ask questions about things and try to find the answers.

12:38

If you can get the work out there, people will see it

Joe

12:38

Any chance the Orioles deal Means now that it looks like he'll be back after the break, or do they need to wait to re-establish him as healthy and good?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I don't think they trade him

McVittie's Chocolate Digestives

12:38

Name one trade you would love to see for both sides

Dan Szymborski

12:38

Hey, I'm not spoiling my usual Let's Make Some Damn Trades piece

OddBall Herrera

12:38

Being the cruel and cynical person that I am, it warms the cockles of my heart to see Canadian teams continue to be shut out of the Stanley Cup by true hockey cultures like Tampa Bay and Las Vegas

Tigers Fan

12:39

Why is Akil Baddoo's FV still a 40 on this website? Sample size aside he seems to pass the eye test of a player with a current value of a 50 or better?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

Eric and Kevin don't do weekly or monthly updates of the FV, unless I miss something

12:40

40 is a representation of what they gave him in March, not a variable number that rises and falls depending on fortune

I dont' know what they have planned in midseason updates

Norm

12:41

Is Kimbrel to the A's a real possibility?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

It's certainly a possibility. But even though Pressly's been excellent, I think Houston's more likely to land him

Josh R

12:41

Do you have a gut feeling about how much time Trevor Bauer is going to be gone or if the Dodgers might cut ties?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

Zero.

It's a horribly messy situation.

12:42

Both legally and morally and that's before you even get to basebally

I only have expertise in the basebally aspects

Freddie Freeman

12:42

What's the Trade Market on me if Atlanta ships me off?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Yeah, that's not happening

EvanC

12:42

Do you believe the Rockies when they say Marquez will not be traded?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Yes

Tigers Fan

12:42

What moves would you make if you were the Tigers at the deadline this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Low-key ones. THey've played solid ball the last two months, but I still don't thin kthey're a realistic contender.

12:43

I think you still make trades that help you in the future.

Though I don't t hink you need to go all-in on trading Turnbull or anything

T(win)s

12:43

Is it more likely Twins reload for 2022 or 2023? Pitching in minors suddenly injured so '23 looking more likely. Gut feel on trading Berrios?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I think the Twins sit on their hands

Tommy Schmo

12:45

Which available CF can the Mets acquire, Can Joc Pederson still play CF?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Joc is a stretch.
