Dave Cameron FanGraphs Chat – 3/8/17

12:00
Dave Cameron: Happy Wednesday, everyone.

12:00
Dave Cameron: The WBC is underway, so we have something pretty close to real baseball now.

12:01
Dave Cameron: And the season is now less than a month away, so plenty of 2017 expectations to talk about.

12:01
JT: If the Tigers bomb this year, what are the chances Verlander could be moved at the deadline as a Quintana alternative? How many teams need aces?

12:01
Dave Cameron: I guess I don’t really see too many scenarios where Verlander is good enough to have a lot of trade value but the Tigers are terrible enough to want to move him. I’d guess that if they’re lousy, so is he.

12:02
Sachin: Hi Dave! Big fan. Do you think starting pitchers will neutralize last year’s HR binge or is power here to stay again? It definitely puts more people in seats.

Eno Sarris Baseball Chat — 3/2/17

10:50
Eno Sarris: this is what I want to sing when I miss a pull up three on the break

12:01
The Average Sports Fan: If a team is true 85 win talent. Do they have equal chance for winning 70 or 100 games?

12:02
Eno Sarris: That’s pushing the spectrum really far. The answer is maybe ‘yes’ but neither is very likely. Standard deviation is about five wins. so that 85 win team could win 75 or 95 without ‘breaking’ the model.

12:03
natsfan: Please give me 3 targets for AL-Only endgame corner guys

12:03
Eno Sarris: It’s actually pretty bad. Take a shot on Pedro Alvarez? Trevor Plouffe? Danny Valencia? If Matt Duffy and Pedro Sandoval count, them.

Feast and Famine: Hi Eno. In your opinion, which positions are the deepest and which are the shallowest in terms of production for this year? (5×5 roto.) Thanks!
