I think the customers at an average Radio Shack exceed Marlins average attendance.

Assuming you were the Rays and had a limited, small market budget, would you rather have Kershaw and his massive deal or someone like Gerrit Cole on his contract & ARB deals?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:15
Cole. Rays aren't spending $30 million a year on one guy
12:16
And I think for the *majority* of teams, you rather have Cole over Kershaw given the contract requirements.

What team, in your opinion, failed to address a major hole the most this offseason? Angels and Indians in OF, maybe?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:16
Angels, Indians, Orioles

Which OF is more of a mess, Angels or Orioles? Angels have Trout, but outside of him not much.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:16
Trout plus just about anything is really good!

How long do you think it will take Devon Travis to get his job back from Goins once hes back at 100%?

12:17
It's hard to tell ahead of time - it depends on the contours of the situation.

Are we witnessing the Angels completely wasting the peak seasons of the greatest player of our generation?

In general terms using team X, what is an appropriate return for the Braves to get for Ender Inciarte? Two top-100 prospects? A top-50 and a top-100?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:19
A little rich.

Is Christian Walkers time in Baltimore done with the signing of Chris Davis or do you see them trying to get creative with some line ups?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:20
Honestly, I don't think it has any effect - we're talking a player that's going to be 25 and doesn't really hit AAA pitchers all that well (for a 1B)
12:23
I think it unlikely he has much of a MLB career. With 12/13 man pitching staffs, a 1B that has no actual positional flexibility *has* to hit and I just don't think Walker will

Now that AJax is in tow, does Eaton have more value in LF or RF?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:24
Right. It's not like Melky has the arm either. That will be the downside.

Dan: I'm in a 10 team AL- only 7 x 7 cats league with BB and OPS on the offensive side. We're allowed to slap a franchise tag for 3 yrs. on one player and freeze his cost for that time. After that, his price goes up to whatever ESPN uses for their AL-only cheat sheet. Our LM says that Mike Trout, who can no longer be franchised, is worth only $34. I say: something's wrong, you must not be adding OPS and BB to the calculator. A few people are saying I'm making a big fuss about nothing. I say: the best player in baseball should be priced correctly. Am I wrong to dig in my heels about this?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:25
Well, I'm not involved there.
But unless it's an obvious mistake that is rectified, I think you have to go by the third party.

How do you pronounce "Szymborski"? Is it zim-BOAR-ski?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:26
Yes, though that's not technically accurate in Polish. But I don't speak Polish.

does Steven Souza not have a place in OF in tampa?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:27
No, he'll get time. I just don't think he's all that good.

How do you go about the catcher position in a 2C only league?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:28
If you can't grab an elite, wait for the bargain shops.
Ryan

Mike Trout for Rafael Devers and Yoan Moncada. Who says no?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:28
Angels.
12:29
I think Mallex gets playing time the quickest, but the other two better long term
