Is this what Mitch Haniger is? Or a 90th percentile version?
Dave Cameron
12:35
He has a 195 wRC+. This isn't what anyone is.
12:36
That said, a power/walks/good D skillset with average-ish contact is a pretty darn good player. I still think he's probably more like a 110 wRC+ guy, but if the power is more real than we think, it's not out of the realm that he's a poor man's Cespedes.

Since we're emotionally overreacting to 7 games - Edwin Encarnacion is doomed, right?
Dave Cameron
12:36
Good news is Francisco Lindor stole his power, so the Indians should be fine.

I'm interested in writing a fan piece for the website, I have a passion for writing and would like to submit something that I find interesting. Where would I go about doing this and what are the chances that it gets seen?

FanGraphs.com/community
We regularly publish content from there to the site.

how can the Mariners upgrade at 1B?
Dave Cameron
12:37
Call the Orioles and see what Pedro Alvarez costs.
JD

If you had to plunk money on either Kiermaier or Billy Ham for higher WAR at years end who you got?
Dave Cameron
12:38
Kiermaier.

Is it possible to have a higher BA than OBP, or am I looking at a typo on Padres website for Wil Myers? If it is possible, how so?
Dave Cameron
12:38
Sac flies don't count against your BA, but do count against your OBP. So if you have more sac flies than walks+HBPs, then your OBP can be < BA.

As someone who doesn't write about baseball professionally, but as a hobby, the frustration Jeff Sullivan causes is immense. I write down a couple of potential topics, get home fron work/ have a day off, open up the web.... And Jeff has produced 5 articles in one day on all the topics I had in mind. I then spend some time finding something interesting to see Jeff has published a 6th article on this new idea.
Dave Cameron
12:38
He's a machine.
Logan
12:39
Concerned about very slow starts for Ender and Swanson?
Dave Cameron
12:40
Not really. Neither one is a great hitter, and guys with moderate power who rely on singles and contact will have stretches like this.
Brandon M
12:40
Do you think the rangers will be out of it in July?
Dave Cameron
12:40
Depends on health. If Beltre is out for an extended period of time, that hurts them a lot. They couldn't afford to lose anyone else of importance at that point.
Don Von Handburger
12:41
Did you have memento disease about Reed and White in your Astros' 1B column?
Dave Cameron
12:41
It was a column about why they might need to replace Gurriel, not about who might replace him.
JamesKrause
12:42
assuming the royals have a fire sale at the deadline, do you think they should sell duffy? great contract but pretty useless if you are inevitably gonna suck for next 3-4 years anyway
Dave Cameron
12:42
He took less money from them like two months ago to stick around. It's lousy business to trade a guy who gave you a hometown discount before the extension even starts.
Josh

Neftali Feliz hit 100+ multiple times yesterday. If this velocity sticks around, what type of value can the Brewers get for him?
Dave Cameron
12:43
He's always thrown hard.
I do think he'll be setting up for a contender by the All-Star break though. Jeffress, Thornburg, Smith... the Brewers are clearly in pump-and-dump mode in the bullpen.
Roadhog

Who is the A's ace by September? Gray, Cotton, Manaea, or Graveman? Any one of them could break out ahead of the pack this season.
Dave Cameron
12:45
I don't know that any of them are aces.
Big Joey
12:45
Keon Broxton or Joc Pederson for the next 3 years?
Dave Cameron
12:45
Joc.
JR
12:45
How much will BOS regret trading Margot?
Dave Cameron
12:45
Where would they play him?
Erik
12:46
What kind of returns do Quintana and Darvish get if they're traded this year? Close to the Sale trade, but swap out Moncada for a second Kopech-tier guy instead?
Dave Cameron
12:46
Darvish would be a rental, so nothing close to that.
Quintana is probably more like the Eaton trade.

I haven't done it yet, but can't you just plug in your laptop to your TV and watch MLB.TV on your TV that way?
Dave Cameron
12:47
Yes, but the average consumer isn't going to do that.
Jack
12:48
How long will Sam Dyson stay the closer?
