Haha, you guys thought you were getting ENO and BOOM, Szymborski time.

ZiPS seems to be the low man on Ohtani. Do you take the over on his ZiPS projections?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:39
Geez, you call that low?
There are risks associated with him.  I think the really good projections are reasonable!

Should Eric Filia get more buzz, or is he just an old dude?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:40
Oh, he's worth seeing what he can do at AA
but for a 24-year-old 1B in the California League, his numbers gotta long Bondsian to get excited.

What are the odds Michael Fulmer gets traded in these meetings?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:41
15?  The Tigers *could* trade him for the right package, but htey don't *need to*.

If I was a billionaire, and went to the winter meetings offering to pay a player whatever he wants, but he would have to play indie ball for the next 5 years, how many would accept?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:42
You'll mostly get fringe guys.
Weird use of money though!

Prado < Danny Valencia?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Probably given the situation.

Derek Jeter on the Marlines Hearthstone card please?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:42
Heh
I want a three way trade!
2:42
Ozuna to Cardinals, Piscotty to A's should have been a three way trade!
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:43
Maybe the Nats could jump in and somehow get the best player in the three way trade.

Do other agents besides Boras shit talk teams' spending habits? Or Bores is that obnoxious/good?

He's the best trash-talker.

Dan, give me a candle in the darkness and tell me something really nice about either Sam Moll, Marco Gonzalez, or Andrew Moore.  Thank you,
AvatarDan Szymborski

None of those three are hired killers.

Jermaine Dye was a nice #1 comp for Santander - what are your hopes for him?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:44
Dye would be a really positive result.  Probably less than that.
Somehow, the Orioles have figured out how to develop Mark Trumbos and nothing else.
2:45
Like they found a recipe for steamed limes.

How bad do you feel for Yelich if he doesn't get traded?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:45
Pretty bad.

Is there any doubt that Ohtani's physical was leaked by a team that feels burned he didn't sign with them?  The timing and the initial exaggeration of the news has jilted ex-lover written all over it.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
I wouldn't doubt it.  Lots of teams *really* wanted him.
Fat Matt

I was worried that a co-worker (O's fan) was going to be suicidal yesterday.  He seems to have given up all hope
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:46
Wait, are you one of my co-workers?

Ohtani's injury must severely diminish the odds that he ever becomes a two-way player, right? Will the Angels really let him play between starts if he's rehabbing after TJ surgery or pitching with a compromised elbow?
