Ben Clemens: I’m leaving for a brief vacation today so I actually insisted on it

10:00
Jacob: Kinda a trade value q, do you think buxton will ever figure it out again or is he cooked

10:00
Ben Clemens: Man, I happened to catch a lot of his at-bats in this week’s Twins/Mariners series, and he’s clearly compromised right now

10:01
Ben Clemens: I think they need to try to get him healthy, he could play a long time like this and not figure it out

Dan Szymborski FanGraphs Chat – 7/20/23

bk: Dan, how does ZiPS like Orelvis Martinez moving forward after his breakout season this year (so far)?

12:02
Avatar Dan Szymborski: Martinez is back to pretty much where his projection was – ZiPS was already aggressive with him

12:03
Avatar Dan Szymborski: His projection really fell off in the earl going, but he’s been much better last couple months

12:06
Kyle: Outside of the big names being thrown around (Ohtani/Soto) which players that will be available at the deadline do you think would best help the Phillies?

12:06
Avatar Dan Szymborski: Outside of the big names, it gets unimpressive quickly!

Dan Szymborski FanGraphs Chat – 6/29/23

12:01
Avatar Dan Szymborski: Let’s slowly get this party started!

12:01
Avatar Dan Szymborski: Very slowly – I was late to set up the chat

12:01
Avatar Dan Szymborski: because I was over at mom’s because she incompetently broke her outside faucet and I had to go over there and fix it

12:02
Avatar Dan Szymborski: and it was *really* incompetent. She literally turned one of the handles until it fell off and then basically took the whole thing apart

12:02
Guest: If you could build a pitcher in a lab what’s their handedness, arm slot, and 3 pitch mix (spinrates or break measurement optional)? Fastball sits 93-95.

12:03
Avatar Dan Szymborski: Is this for aesthetics or optimization?

12:03
Chutzpah: Who are some prospects in this years draft you might be excited about that are not part of the top 20 group?

12:05
Avatar Dan Szymborski: Carson Roccaforte is one of the top of my head

12:06
Avatar Dan Szymborski: Cam Fisher has really fun power
