ZiPS already loves Gallen!

12:46

Did you not see the three-year ERA+ projections in the Clevinger trade piece I did?

Numpty

Marlins are going to do that thing where they win a World Series despite not being that great and then go back to being terrible, aren't they?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

It does seem to be a case of history rhyming

Robb

Preller calls the Angels and offers Gore/Abrams/Campusano/4th lower level piece + Myers or Hosmer for Mike Trout, what’s the answer?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

I don't think the Angels trade him for any package worth considering.

George Herman Ruth

NL-only 5x5, all categories are very close. Need saves desperately. Do I trade Tatis, Almonte, Caratini, & Joyce (reserve) for his Segura, Workman, Contreras, & Dahl (reserve)? Hate giving up best player but does help in saves & C overcome big drop Tatis->Segura?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Not really crazy about that at all.

If all categories are very close, there's huge downside risk here

Re: Rays trades, the early results on Cronenworth/Pham for Renfroe and a slapdick prospect are not looking great. How are you evaluating that one?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

I'm not sure if we can say CLEARLY after a month though.

Is the switch-hitter dying? are millennials to blame?

Dan Szymborski

12:50

It's been slowly fading since the 90s

not rockies

12:50

I'd imagine the rays want the German Marquez for Corey Dickerson deal back

john henry

12:50

sure the dodgers have mookie betts locked up, but the red sox have way more financial flexibility now, so it's impossible to say who won that trade

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Heh

The Red Sox twitter was a hilariously tone deaf tweet

I used ZiPS as my base to do projections for fantasy this year, and I somehow came up with Kyle Tucker as a top-30 player, so I snagged him in the 10th round. Looking pretty good now!

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Hope you didn't take Robles based on this. Ouch!

He's really messing up my breakout piece! lol

12:51

Been awhile since i've attended a Dan Szymborski chat, is there still non-sense? Is the non-sense a sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

There's a lot of nonsense because everything I do has an element of nonsense.

Morbo

12:51

It's supposed to say "morbo" not "guest" and that is a good idea LFC Mike

Was clevinger down long enough at the alternate site to gain another year of control? How many more days would he need to be down?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I do not believe so.

It's like 10 or 11 days and I think, based on the prorating, that they would have had to keep him down for 20 days

Where did luis guillorme come from?? In the cosmic sense, was he on your radar

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Well, when a mommy guillorme and a daddy guillorme love each other very much...

He's probably over his head, though the Mets seem to not want to find out and give Frazier the nods

12:56

By that you mean you expect him (Nola) to get reps elsewhere on the diamond, yeah? That team is just filled out and I'm not sure where those reps would be

Dan Szymborski

12:56

There's always playing time

Snowy

12:56

Any concern with Carlsons slow start?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Is cheese and crackers lunch?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

It can be

David K

12:56

Is Brodie Van Wagenen the worst gm in baseball? I can’t think oof anyone that is worse

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I would take the Mets FO over Rockies or Royals

Becoming sentient

12:56

What language is ZiPS programmed in? Does it have an interface, or does this Dan character just poke around in the code base?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

haha language

Dan's Mom

12:56

Danny! Lunch is ready! Mincemeat pies!
