Wouldn't the Jays help themselves more by buying good will with fans with a Vlad Jr. promotion? What are the chances he gets called up this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

He should've already!

At this point, they might as well just hold it off.

Bread Gardner

12:59

Dan, that's also the first five minutes of your chats, and also the intervening five-minute intervals.

Brian CashGod

12:59

we love it too

Dbo

is it a sandwich if I use to hinged rolls as separate pieces of bread

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Yes

Just like donut burgers are sandwiches

Morbo

manwichslaughter sounds delicious

i miss the old days of real September callups

TRANE

Unless they are trading for Trout, how do you forsee the Braves logjam at pitching working out?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I think Teheran is traded this offseason

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

1:00

Severino over Snell for the AL Cy‽ Not that Snell should win over Sale or the other deserving guys, but I'd vote for Snell way before Sevy. 6.0 RA9 WAR to 4.2.

Morbo

1:00

is it still a grilled cheese if i use a bun and a tomato?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

Yes

Bread Gardner

1:00

Dan chats are the most fun chats of all chats.

since Toronto's fan base is all of Canada, is there less reward for appealing to them than if, say, the White Sox who have half a city had a massive prospect that they could theoretically call up? just theoretically

Dan Szymborski

1:01

NHL preseason starts in a couple of weeks - at that point, the Blue Jay fanbase is 17 people in Toronto

Hosmer's fWAR is currently @ -0.7. Surely...his clubhouse presence has made up the difference to justify his $20M for this season.

Sad Mr. Met

1:02

Tell me about Jeff McNeil, Szymborski. What you thinking here, 80 hit tool, 90 hit tool? I’m sensing some Wade Boggs about the lad, but we’d settle for Gwynn at this point

hscer

1:02

I see I've been crap emoji targeted now

Ben

Is Bread Gardner part of a sandwich?

Morbo

1:02

Dan's CHAR for today 5.368

Dbo

1:02

whoa, grilled cheese with tomato is a melt

Dan Szymborski

1:02

It's only a melt if there's another, more important protein being enveloped by the melted cheese.

Morbo

1:02

I have no idea it that is a good CHAR as I've just instituted the system but I represents the single chat CHAR leader

Dbo

1:02

If there is anything besides cheese as the filling then it is a melt

Dan Szymborski

1:02

I don't think a tomato makes it a melt

1:03

Or you have a very strict grilled cheese guideline

hscer

1:03

that had better not be you, either

kevinthecomic

1:03

Does former Met Anthony Young still hold the record for most consecutive losses? 23 or something?

Dan Szymborski

1:03

Believe he still does.

Ben

1:03

If a team hits back to back to back home runs, is that a Homer sandwich

Dan Szymborski

1:03

If a team makes back to back to back awful free agent signings, that's a Hosmer sandwich

Dbo

1:03

I'm a grilled cheese purist

tb.25

1:03

is it a melt if the cheese isn't melted? some of us prefer cold, shredded cheese

Dan Szymborski

1:03

dafuq?

Brian CashGod

1:03

do we have a CHAR leaderboard for the fangraphs staff yet?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

OK, on that note, I leave you all to your failure grill cheeses.

Thanks for coming everyone! As a reminder, I am a full-time employee of FanGraphs and this is now where you find the vast majority of my content (the exception is the occasional ESPN piece). I can also be found at DSzymborski on Twitter.
