Do you think the yankees will give the shortstop job to Peraza to lose in spring training? Will the other Oswaldo. Be their utility guy or is that rushing them both?
Derek

Peraza will start the year at Triple-A. If they had to go internally for a SS right now on OD, it'd be Urshela.
Jeb

Would you be cool including Peraza as part of a package for Olsen?
Derek
12:44
I think so, yes. But I'd really prefer to move Peraza for an up the middle player (Bryan Reynolds?)

Would you consider an offseason of re-signing Rizzo for 1B, signing Carlos Rondon for the rotation, and trading for IKF to be a successful offseason?
Derek
12:46
No. If you're not getting a big time SS, you better get Freeman/Olson at 1B and a better CF.

Any thoughts on a possible Zac Gallen deal as 4th starter?  He looks to have the sort of peripheral profile that would work in AL East.
Derek
12:50
Sure, for a mid/backend guy he's fine. Would need to do a deeper dive into why he regressed this year though.
12:51
I've got about 10 more minutes, but there are only a couple of more questions left in the queue.

Where does Dominguez start and end this year? High A and Double A would be my guess.
Derek
12:53
I think he goes back to Tampa (A) and ends with HV (A+). He's still just 18 and was just OK at Tampa this year. No need to rush.

Assuming NYY doesn't sign Story or Correa, where do you think they land?
Derek
12:53
Story: Seattle, Correa: Philadelphia

The humidor requirement for all ballparks was new last year yet I don't ever hear that discussed in the context of lower overall league offense, in concert with the new ball.  I think this has had a pretty significant effect but don't know how to go about testing the theory.  Thoughts?  It's possible some parks will store balls....slightly differently than others if you get my drift.

No idea how to respond here but I think it's worth linking to the Insider report about the league using 2 balls in 2021. Who knows what the hell the league was doing. https://www.businessinsider.com/mlb-used-two-different-balls-in-2021-2...

Queue is empty...last chance for any rapid fire questions. I'll give it another minute.

Alright, I'm calling it. Thanks for joining everyone.
