Dan Szymborski: ANd we go!

Dan Szymborski: Welcome to the chat!

Dan Szymborski: Uh oh

Hi: This doesnt show up on the homepage. Chat is only accessible thru tweeted link

Dan Szymborski: I am asking!

Dan Szymborski: I will have to answer slowly! lol

Meg Rowley: Hey pals, will get started here in a moment – just wrapping up a call!

Desperate for a chat: Hurry up, Meg

Scotty: Meg, hello

Meg Rowley: Hello am here!

Meg Rowley: Sorry about that, everyone. Had to chat with Appelman. Let us chat!

E.L.: If you’re the Giants would you rather have as little money committed to 2022 as possible or would you spend a little now so your lineup isn’t full of holes in a year?

Dan Szymborski: And welcome to 2021!

Dan Szymborski: IT STARTS NOW, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS 2020.2

Tony Schiavone: Welcome to one of the greatest chats in the history of our sport!

Dan Szymborski: I am in the top 100% of all chats.

See! You! Later!: What do you think is the biggest area for potential improvement to ZiPS? What are you focusing on improving with the system?

Dan Szymborski: Injuries, though that’s harder to actually *work* with

Meg Rowley: Hi all, and welcome to the chat. Give me just one moment to run something to the mail box before my carrier comes for the day!

Meg Rowley: Ok, am back.

Meg Rowley: Everyone be nice to their mail carriers – they are having a heck of a time.

Jerry dipoto: When am I making my next move?

Meg Rowley: Please not today, I have gifts to wrap after this and feel tired.

Syndergaardengnomes: What is Realmuto’s market now?  With the Mets out of the picture, where do you think he ends up?

Eric A Longenhagen: Morning, everyone. I’m gonna let a few more questions flow in and then we’ll begin

Philip: forget the team situation for the second. CJ Abrams maximizes his value at SS/2B/or CF?

Eric A Longenhagen: Any/every player would max out at shortstop, which is the most valuable defensive position on the field. If you’re asking which I think Abrams would end up playing independent of Tatis? I’m still more in the 2B/CF camp. I was CF-only until this fall, CJ looked pretty good on the infield.

Jeff: What puts Steven Hajjar ahead of Chrisitian MacLeod in the college ranks?

Eric A Longenhagen: Athleticism/body projection right now, but they’re not crazy far apart and MacLeod could have bigger conference stats to tout by the time we’re through.

Guest: Your pick to win the central? Cards could do it with Hicks, Reyes and a nice season from Carlson
