Jay Jaffe FanGraphs Chat – 3/11/22
| 2:00 |
 Jay Jaffe: Good afternoon, folks, and HAPPY BASEBALL SEASON!
|
| 2:01 |
Jay Jaffe: Brooklyn resident here, and I’m trying to get my blood pressure under control after this:
I’m walking into City Hall from one direction while Mayor Adams comes from the other. Before I can get a word in, he says “This is New York, we don’t wear Boston hats.”
It’s a Brooklyn Dodgers hat! |
| 2:02 |
Jay Jaffe: But nonetheless, i’m delighted that the lockout is over and that we’re going to get a full baseball season in. My coverage of the new CBA deal is here https://blogs.fangraphs.com/we-have-a-cba-deal-and-a-162-game-season/

Jay Jaffe: I’ve also got a fun podcast spot with SB Nation’s Jon Bois here https://blogs.fangraphs.com/fangraphs-audio-jon-bois-on-dave-stieb-lou…
|
| 2:03 |
Jay Jaffe: My recent piece about Dave Stieb’s Hall of Fame case (https://blogs.fangraphs.com/cooperstown-notebook-born-in-the-fifties/) and the first installment of Jon’s four-part documentary series on the great Blue Jay () coincided so it seemed only natural for the two of us to nerd out together.
|
| 2:04 |
Jay Jaffe: Anyway, let’s get to it! A word of warning: between my Hall of Fame coverage and the negotiations, I haven’t thought about transactions very much since early December. Things could be a bit rusty.

: This should be good.
|
| 12:02 |
Dan Szymborski: Nothing is good at the moment!
|
| 12:02 |
: What is the best possible explanation for Gleyber Torres? It just doesn’t make sense
|
| 12:03 |
Dan Szymborski: If Gleyber Torres doesn’t make sense, you must acquit!
|
| 12:03 |
Dan Szymborski: I guess the ideal possible explanation would be that he had a secret injury which magically healed this offseason

: Luis Medina at 60 overall seems to suggest at least a reasonable chance of becoming a starter?
|
| 1:01 |
: Reasonable chance, yes, but it’s far from a guarantee . . . very far in fact. Stuff is fantastic.
