There are civil defense sirens going off, so either it's noon on the first Monday or I'm going to die soon. Let's find out which!

Any update on ZiPS release schedule for 2019 projections?

Dan Szymborski

12:03

Starting tomorrow! Since I'll be able to do more a week for FG as I'm now full-time here, we should end around the same time.

What should the Padres do with Wil Myers, Hunter Renfroe, Franchy, and Franmil?

Hunt for for 28

12:05

The return for Segura seems pretty weak to me.. plus taking on Santana?? I don't get it

Dan Szymborski

12:05

Honestly, I think you have to trade Myers. With Hosmer at first for no particular reason

Oops, sorry, skipped an answer

With Hosmer at first, it's hard to get a look at all the corner guys

Then you probably see who's healthy in the spring

Which non-tendered player(s) have the best chance of making their previous team regret the decision? I think Avi Garcia and Schoop both have the highest ceilings based on 2017 production.

Dan Szymborski

12:06

Schoop has upside. Avi needs a ridonk-a-donkulous BABIP to be useful at all.

John S

12:06

Should the Padres be in on Kyle Seager?

Dan Szymborski

12:06

Not really, no.

12:07

He's already crashed hard over two years and is on the wrong side of 30. Though I guess it would depend on just how much the Mariners want to eat.

Oh, I think the return for Segura is fine. Segura's a solid middle infielder, but neither ZiPS or Steamer like him as much in the future and Crawford has a ton of upside.

12:08

ANd *something* is likely going back Phillies way to equalize the salaries more

Buffet rankings: Cosmo breakfast 70. Caesars 65. Wynn 60. Bellagio 50.

Dan Szymborski

12:08

I stay away from breakfast buffets because I might eat enough sausage and bacon to need my stomach pumped

But I've never been to Vegas, so I'd definitely like to try a buffet

Is a burrito just an infinitely rolled taco?

What total guaranteed $$$ would get a Rendon extension done for the Nats?

Dan Szymborski

12:10

5/100 maybe?

DJ Tanner

12:10

Do the Phils grabbing Segura mean they won't pursue Machado or is Machado OK with playing 3B?

Dan Szymborski

12:11

For $300 million, Many might be persuaded. They could always move Segura to third even if he couldn't

I mean, I'd prefer Machado at third and Segura at short, but it Machado at short and Segura so sub-ideal that you'd call the whole tehing off?

Caleb Joseph

12:11

With the O's missing out on the big Cuban names, do they get to keep all the international money they acquired or does it automatically go to Chris Davis?

Dan Szymborski

12:11

There's no acquire money, only the acquired ability to spend money.

Steve Phillips

12:11

Do you think Alomar makes the Mets a contender, or do they need another big bat like Mo Vaughn or Jeremy Burnitz?

Dan Szymborski

12:11

Burnitz!

12:12

I made a really mean blog entry about his signing some years ago

This was teh whole entry.

Justin

12:14

Assuming the Pirates have, say, $10 million available to spend, what is the next move that makes sense? I feel like SS is their weakest spot, but the non-Machado FA shortstops aren't that much better than the Newman projection. I have a "trade for Profar (who all of a sudden is only 2 yrs from FA), use that money on something else" bug in my brain.

Dan Szymborski

12:15

That's kinda the problem, I think they just go with Newman in the end.

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

12:16

More "surprising" non-tenders this year or am I just paying more attention?

Dan Szymborski

12:16

I'm not sure they were *that* surprising.

Hamilton's kinda surprising. He's always been this player and they've been resistant to trading him.

I had a dream the other night that my parents went into a restaurant you were eating at, turned you into a butterfly, put you in a box, and took you away. I'm not sure what that means or what it says about me, but I thought you should know.
