With the Padres 'stealing' low minors prospect in the Rule V, and the White Sox (or any, full rebuild, team) probably following suit. Do you see changes being made to the system?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:40
No, but I think teams will be more willing to protect those interesting low-minors guys over higher fringe prospects.

What name would you give a robot umpire? Would you give each of them an individual name?

With Robles in your ESPN piece today, Nats must have seen it and decided to call him up.

I'm SURE that was it!

If the Orioles were playing on Halloween in the WS theyd have to be in Black and Orange right? Theme night at camden yard?

You absolutely must watch it. Every sports fan should. It isn't just about cycling and how easy it is to fool drug testing. It goes places. Dark, sordid international places.

How good are the Indians? Given that they just jumped into the MLB lead in run differential, are they the favorites?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:41
I think they are in the AL, by a hair
2:42
Though that is me being optimistic about Salazar.
If you're not optimistic I think Houston ahead by a hair
Yes, I measure all projected winning percentages in hair

Should a team looking for a potential bargain try to sign Michael Pineda for a 2- or 3-year deal?

If the Yankees dont make the Div Series do they bring back Girardi? (lets assume Cashman is retained)
AvatarDan Szymborski

Yup and yup

How crazy was The Big Show to be willing to take that Braun Strowman powerslam through the cage on Monday Night Raw this week?

Bet my buddy $150 before the season the O's wouldn't make the playoffs? Still got a good chance at that?

There are a lot of teams.  What odds did you/he give?

If Mexico City would ever get a team, would they be allowed to put their AAA team in the Mexican League to help create a national fanbase?
AvatarDan Szymborski

That's honestly an interesting question.

I'm annoyed that the Phillies keep playing top prospects at their non-natural positions (Hoskins in OF; Crawford at 3B).  Should I be?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:44
Yes
You want to see what Crawford can do at the major league level.  While it's a nice gesture to get Galvis 162 games, *he* should accommodate *others* to make it happen in ways that don't hurt teh team's future

I see Robles is coming up. Do you think that means Harper isn't making it back for the post-season?
AvatarDan Szymborski

No

Which is worse: Pujols and 4/114 remaining or Miggy and 6/192 remaining?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:45
Pujols still.
2:46
I think Cabrera will come back and not su ck for a few years.
I think Pujols is a complete dead loss now.

If the stat guys are split between Stanton and Votto wouldn't it mean a playoff guy (Rendon, Goldy) might win?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
Stanton has a storyline too.
