Franco doesn't remind of me of Beltre

Considering its history, do you think the MLB would join the NFL and NBA if they came out in support of nationwide sports gambling or actively fight against it?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:06
If NFL and NBA came out in favor, MLB probably wouldn't improve the odds of it happening.

4 for 3000 square feet isn't a bad ratio

I hope Laroche comes out and says that Drake didn't need to go to school and that baseball and the bible is all the teaching he needs. Just to see the backlash.

I would purchase a Cameron/Sullivan 2016 t-shirt if one existed and I would also consider voting for them as a write in this November if they declared themselves candidates

Would you rather speak in rhyme or talk in double time?

Last question I ever want to post about the LaRoches, but how awkward would it be when the ChiSox draft Drake LaRoache 1-1 in four years?

If Sale was a free agent next season, how much would this temper tantrum hurt his value?

Not much.

What are some common pitfalls of amateur baseball analysis?

Knowing what's actually predictive and what isn't.

Does Trea turner win the opening day job? if not when do you think he will be up?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I don't think he'll be up at the start. By June

If all players were werewolves which would be the best? I'm going with Ben Revere. The little bit of werewolfness would go a long way with him.

Harper?

That Vampire show that this woman I know watches seems to have all young ripped werewolves.

If the nats wanted to move Tyler Moore to the CHISox - do you think they could get a good enough return to warrant it?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:09
I don't understand the basis of the question.
1:10
Moore's a lower-tier role player - his employment and location simply depends on roster math.

Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:11
Bonds. Ruth has been dead for a long time and Bonds just won a Home Run Derby.

Exactly on that "previous guy" contracts thing. Dramatically stomping on your predecessor's goofs is actually quite good for your own repute.

Travis Shaw says his improved major league performance is due to being able to watch video of pitchers, something which he did not have access to in the minor leagues. Is this useful info or a pile of baloney?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:12
It shows he has the capacity to learn, which is good, but you can't forget his performance.
OK, 1:12.
SO let's go off to the Lightning Round.

The rules are simple: All off-topic questions must be answered so long as they're off-topic and not one of the exception categories (very personal at my discretion or work-related)

Should dipping tobacco be outlawed for grown men playing professional baseball?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Outlawed? No. It shouldn't be a question for the justice system.

why isn't my question posted?

Because I get hundreds of questions?
