Dan Szymborski: Manfred would by no means need a spherical of golf to be imperiled

Visitor: not your fault dan, only a bunch of fantasy seasons over and the playoff races not as dramatic as they may very well be

Meals comparability: who’s the “rooster nugget” of MLB? Constant, comparatively excessive flooring however not a lot upside. Moreover, who’s the smoked brisket? Limitless upside however tremendous low flooring.

Dan Szymborski: I nonetheless assume Jordan Walker has an actual upside

Dan Szymborski: however the flooring is non-existent. He’s principally collapsed to the molten core

Foolish head: I’ve seen just lately that many of the finest defensive catcher seasons (when it comes to defensive runs) befell from about 2008-2013, which is when framing information turned obtainable IIRC. Have been McCann, Lucroy, and others actually THAT good at framing or did they merely concentrate on that facet of catching when possibly not each workforce had fairly caught on but?

Sirras: Re: eggplant – you skipped the terrible joke earlier than the “tip your waiter” bit! Ah properly, I’ll must be funnier subsequent time

Trout: I do know it appears completely absurd however is it doable Choose catches Trout in WAR by the top? I simply don’t see Trout staying on the sector in any respect.

Dan Szymborski: It’s definitely *doable* if Trout’s bodily breakdown isn’t ameliorated by a lesser defensive schedule

Dan Szymborski: He’s like 30-something behind in WAR

Dan Szymborski: and ZiPS has him at 30ish, so MORE than 30 is a definite chance

Justin: Hello Dan. I’m a Mets fan so I’m extra invested, however I really feel like that is such a monumental screw-up by mlb to not transfer the mets/braves video games. Am I overreacting? It simply looks like this was so avoidable.

War2d2: Miguel Amaya had been the #1 prospect within the Cubs (admittedly weak) system for years, however was bit by the weird-injury bug. This 12 months he was horrible for months, then on fireplace for many of July/August, and is presently again to being horrible. Does Zips assume he’s just about a bust, or will he have some worth going ahead?

Dan Szymborski: SOME worth, however ZiPS doesn’t see him as something mroe than stopgap starter at this level

Smiling Politely: Am I donning blue-tinged glasses in pondering that the Dodgers may carry out *higher* in a brief collection (no less than in comparison with final 12 months’s depressing rotation) as a result of, regardless of the shortage of wholesome starters, they’ve a bunch of deployable, 1-3 inning arms, Shohei Ohtani, and a possible bye?

Dan Szymborski: I don’t assume so. I imply, ZiPS agrees with you

Greg: So we’ll get a breath workforce and a sweet workforce?

War2d2: The Cubs are each very younger (beginning 9 avg age is like 27) and really mid. They’ve some bats coming, however all of them have massive holes of their sport–no “Kris Bryant 2014” in sight. That leaves FA to patch holes. Clearly a Juan Soto signing would repair every thing, however they’re unlikely to pay that. What would make a much bigger dent in getting them out of the .500 vary, Snell/Burnes or Santander?

Dan Szymborski: A pitcher

Bosoxforlife: One of many extra astounding trivia solutions is that till 2024 just one HR had ever been hit by a participant with the primary title of Jackson. An obscure catcher named Jackson Williams who hit one for the Rockies in 2014.

Tim Tebow’s Thunder Thighs: If the Rockies dug a 5,000 foot pit and moved Coors to the underside, would that get rid of the Coors Hangover impact?  Or does the journey schedule for such a distant workforce impression them as a lot/extra?

Dan Szymborski: Perhaps? There are probalby some issues with enjoying baseball in an underground pit

Dan Szymborski: they usually’d do much better chasing good gamers than chasing an impact that *possibly* prices two factors of OPS+ general

Dan Szymborski: Now, when you put the Monforts in that pit they usually don’t have telephone entry, that might be useful to the Rockies

Dbacks fan: our CEO bought ripped for asking for $100’s of hundreds of thousands at a tough time for thus many. Doesn’t the FO have somebody who works there that knew this may look unhealthy? Speak about being unaware

Justin: How do you fee Dave Dombrowski as a GM? He at all times has good groups however on the identical time appears to have a tough time with participant analysis. I believe the Nick Castellanos and Taijuan Walker FA signings the place unhealthy once they signed and he appears to overpay in trades for relievers (soto for vierling, estevez commerce). It’s nearly like hes caught in 2010 however the Phillies are actually good so I’m undecided what to make of it.

Dan Szymborski: I believe he’s nonetheless fairly strong. I believe he could also be overrated nowadays on pure expertise acquisition, however he’s at all times underrated as a normal administrator/chief

Would the league assist with discovering that man? Or wouldn’t it be finest to seek out Theo Epstein’s cell quantity and beg him to take the reins?
