When does Bregman story drop?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Wait, what happen?

Chances a team that sold at the deadline makes the playoffs?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:25
Very low.  The Twins weren't *really* sellers, they sold a guy they had just bought.
2:26
Detroit and Oakland only real AL sellers and they're not making the playoffs
And no obvious NL candidates
My name is Judge...

Have The Rays played themselves out of contention, maybe not mathematically, but in a "these guys look like Gregor Clegane's sweaty underwear"  sense of the word?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:28
The offense has been horrifiterribad.
Oh wait, Texas counts for the selling question
2:29
What are they ate?  5% or so?
But on the Rays here's the thing.  After the four good AL teams, every team sucks to some degree.

With prospect lists being updated now, which org has the best minor league system?

White Sox

Thought experiment: Keep seeing writers say "For anyone as big as Judge...[blank] is going to be especially difficult." If we were scaling the game to be more Aaron Judge friendly, what would be the correct adjustment? Greater distance from mound to home? Bigger baseballs?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:30
Bigger baseballs he might kill someone
Oddball Herrera

Are we close to setting some sort of record for WAR lost to injuries, with so many premier players out for long stretches (Trout, Kershaw, Harper, Correa, Price, Strasburg, Turner, etc)
AvatarDan Szymborski

Would be interesting but I don't know

If Stanton gets 62 its an historic season as its the most HRs not aided by anabolic steroids.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:30
And?
2:31
Now, let's say I pretend to care.
2:32
Even if we ssay Bonds and McGwire are disqualified on the assumption of steroids, the case for Sosa is essentially an unnamed source reporting on ao result two years later and a lot of yelling OMG STERIODS SOSA

Last week Eno said you guys had Bregman analysis story dropping this week.

I keep telling you guys that I don't know FanGraphs related news!

Does Harper's latest injury affect his future contract?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:33
As of now, it's fart-in-a-tornado level

Can you explain Nate McClouth's 2008?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:34
It's the season that McLouth participated in that was between January 1st and December 31st, 2008, under the Gregorian calendar.

What should the reds do with their Suarez/Senzel problem? Move Suarez to short? Move Senzel to 2nd?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:35
I think they're still seeing how it sorts out.  Peraza's abilities and Herrera's shoulder are still very big obstacles
Jim

You think Buehler is in the discussion for top overall prospect? When will the Dodgers catch a break?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
I know, poor guys!

What are your thoughts on Carson's fatherhood?
or is that too mean?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:36
I don't believe in holding offspring responsible for the sins of the father!

Does Jeter sell Stanton or do you think he concentrate on compiling big star power a la his Yankee teams?
