Is it unfair that some teams can use like an 8 man rotation, and just send some of the players to triple A and not use up roster spots?

Dan Szymborski

12:02

Next year, minimum option times are going to be 20 days.

err 15 days

2020

Jim Leyland Palmer

Dan, are you eating 42 bowls of chili today?

Dan Szymborski

12:02

No

Jackie Robinson wouldn't want me to have my stomach pumped in an emergency room.

What’s up with Garrett Hampton? He has gotten off to a rocky start, but the it’s odd to see that he is hardly walking at all.

Dan Szymborski

12:03

The lack of walks is concerning, but given how awful he (and the Rockies) have been, I'd be patient

Frankie

12:03

Is the Pirates pitching staff for real or is there start just a result of small sample size

Dan Szymborski

12:03

Well, if it's not sample size, I'm pretty sure they're not the best pitching staff in history

12:05

Well, second-best because Rays

and some teams in the 1880s

How the heck are we having a game at 11am, then nothing until 7pm?

Dan Szymborski

12:05

Baseball's scheduling occasionally drives me nuts

B

12:06

At this point, does Yandy diaz’s Power projection change?

Dan Szymborski

12:06

Let's not go *crazy* yet

Cincinnati Chili Cooperative

12:07

Skyline Chili > Ozzie Albies contract. That’s is the new slogan. Filling but both leave a bad aftertaste. We got that going for us.

12:07

What is Keston hiura’s eta?

Dan Szymborski

12:07

It's not quite as urgent as it was earlier in the winter, but I don't think the Brewers will mind if he mashes enough to give them an interesting decision later this year

Gub Gub

On the police Academy scale of Sweetchuck to Tackleberry, where does your general disposition fall?

Dan Szymborski

12:08

Larvell Jones

The true Police Academy is the funny noises you make along the way.

Bo

The enigma that is Julio Teheran continues...

Trent

12:09

The Rays and Padres have the best records in their respective leagues. Would such a World Series match-up be (a) extremely interesting, because of the young talent and relative novelty of those teams being in the playoffs, or (b) extremely boring, because of the lack of star power, large markets, and baseball history?

Dan Szymborski

12:09

Interesting to the afficionadi , but probably ratings poison

Eric

12:10

What role do you expect to see Julio urias take on once he moves to the bullpen?

Dan Szymborski

12:10

A flexible role, I think no matter how he's used, the Dodgers will try and give him a decent amount of PT

Fangraphs Reader

12:10

Does it seem a little hypocritical for fangraphs writers to shout it's April to anyone trying to draw too many conclusions from sss early season results in chats, while Fangraphs posts articles pumping up the early season results from the likes of JD Davis or Yandy Diaz?

Dan Szymborski

12:10

It's fun to try to separate April! players from April. players.

LFC Mike

12:11

Good Monday to you Daniel. Hope you have not overdosed on video baseball this week. Red Sox have had Chavis start at 2nd base at Pawtucket and Christian Vasquez is starting at second base today. Thoughts on Chavis?

Dan Szymborski

12:11

It's always good to push the boundaries of what a player can do

Chavis is off to a terrific start at AAA and if he can fake 2B, he has more valuable to the Red Sox

AF

12:11

Odds Jeff McNeil will win the NL batting title?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

Fairly low, but non-zero

JM

12:12

Would it be smart to trade for the Pads to trade Wil Myers this year?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

Well yeah, problem is that for most teams, it's not smart to trade for Wil Myers

mets fan

12:12

what can the mets get in a trade for dom smith? #4 starting pitcher?
