Sorry, was looking for a graphic

12:16

For example, here are grounder rates by vector

Perry Minasian

12:17

Do I trade Ohtani this offseason? And if so, what % of the Soto return should I expect to get?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

No, becuase you'd probably only get half.

Biscuit

12:17

Think Barrero can eventually impact a major league roster? That K rate looks pretty scary.

Dan Szymborski

12:18

I am increasingly pessimistic. His plate discipline numbers have collapsed in the minors this year, along with everything else

Dansby SwanSong

12:18

I still don't understand why the Yankees traded Montgomery for a great defensive CFer who is on the IL with plantar fasciitis. Please offer your take.

Dan Szymborski

12:18

He should be back. Cards are being careful.

Oakland Ass

12:18

Which fan base should have less hope: Rockies or Royals?

Dan Szymborski

12:18

Rockies

12:19

The Royals have a craptacular plan that needs everything to go right, but sometimes they land on free parking

And when they're good, they have the understanding to augment that

when the royals had their moment, they DID make trades to add talent

The Rockies just shuffle along randomly.

12:20

Gimme a crappy plan combined with boldness than no plan combined with indolence

KIDZERO

12:20

Long time Rockies fan who is totally disillusioned by Rockies front office. Iglesias, Colome, Kuhl, Estevez all soon to be free agents, but not moved for any future players...put me out of my misery!

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I'm not allowed to murder people, I think.

12:21

But here's my collection of Hearthstone-Rockies images.

12:22

12:23

For those who don't get the last reference, the Rockies held a pizza party at the trade deadline instead of doing anything

James

12:24

People are sleeping on Profar this season, dude’s rockin a 126 wRC+ and projected to finish with ~3.7 fWAR. He’s probably opting out this winter, right?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

I think it's likely

He can probably beat 1/7.5 with a 10 mutual option, which is what he has if he doesn't opt out

Oakland Ass

12:24

Let’s play make believe — Hosmer opts out. How much does he get as a free agent?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

ZiPS would offer him one-year, $2.3 million.

Oakland Ass

12:26

I get the A’s moving but is Las Vegas really a good market for baseball or just an easy mark to get stadium funding?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Latter

M's Fan

12:26

Who could/should the M's target in the offseason to add a bat? The farm is pretty gutted to make a trade now.

Dan Szymborski

12:27

This isnt one of the more exciting FA years

12:28

Abreu as DH would be fun

If you can settle who plays where without any disasters, Swanson or, assuming opt-out happens, Bogaerts

12:29

(I'd try to move JP to 2B for Swanson, not for Bogaerts, so who knows who would get pissed)

Didace

12:29

What team has a better record in 2025 - Padres or Nationals? (Please say Nationals, I need to feel good about this situation.)

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Nationals BUT YOU MADE ME
