I have not.

LAXTONTO

12:03

How do you reconsile that one of your cats can levitate and yet you have never caught him in the act?

Dan Szymborski

12:04

There's lots of weird things in the world.

Connor

12:04

Dan, will you ever make the zips projected career war remaining that you occasionally reference in your articles publicly available?

Dan Szymborski

12:04

Not sure. They're fun fodder for articles and they change fairly quickly.

12:04

Who has a better, say, 3-year outlook - Sandy Alcantara or Brad Keller? thx

Dan Szymborski

12:04

Probably Alcantara

Jacob

12:05

What teams do you think have the best yohng

Dan Szymborski

12:05

I don't know what that is.

LAXTONTO

12:05

Does the utilization of nontraditional data sources ie text, image and distance vector data, sometimes overcomplicate analysis?

Dan Szymborski

12:05

No, in the big picture a lot of these things are fairly simple.

Jaffe rhymes with Taffy

Morning Dan (west coast). An interesting sidebar to the trash can thing. Could you see pitchers who feel their careers were negatively affected by the scandal take legal action? Mike Bolsinger pitcher 0.1 innings in 2017 against the Stros, 4ER, never heard from again,. There were bangs on 12 of his 29 pitches.

Dan Szymborski

12:06

I'm not sure if this is something the courts would deal with; you'd have to have solid data on what the value of those bangs were.

But I'm not a lawyer

Laxtonto, I'm not answer all 75 of your qs

What's the biggest animal you could throw over a football crossbar?

Dan Szymborski

12:06

cat?

12:06

Is ZiPS out on Taylor Trammell? What's his median outcome look like? Thx

Dan Szymborski

12:06

Over in Padres

greg

12:07

If I were to conduct an OOTP fantasy draft, somehow ranking all of the players based on their ZiPS projections, overall I'd do pretty darn well, right?

Dan Szymborski

12:07

I would think so as OOTP uses it for the initial start

LAXTONTO

12:07

Can you recommend me a laptop? Needs to be strong enough to do simeple work but would be mainly for travel to conferences and to do simple writing while sitting on the couch.

Dan Szymborski

12:07

Some HP or Lenovo convertible proably

kingdome

12:07

why so low on Mariners outfield?

Dan Szymborski

12:07

Because ZiPS doesn't think it's very good other than Haniger?

Inaccessible Rail

12:08

When did “dialoging” become a verb?

Dan Szymborski

1883

Magic Kingdome

12:08

For the Super Bowl party, should I bring pizza sauce or a potato?

Dan Szymborski

12:08

dependso n your state.

Pizza sauce for North Dakota, a potato if Nevada or Idaho.

Chris

12:09

Doesn't Puig make way to much sense in Colorado? Besides giving away their comp A pick or arenado, how can they make this happen?

Dan Szymborski

12:09

It appears he would need to work for free.

Matt

12:09

How do you determine what order to do the zips projection articles in? Hoping the Phillies are soon!

Dan Szymborski

12:09

Random number.

Bistrin

Dan Szymborski

12:09

Stan is the worst.
