Dan Szymborski FanGraphs Chat – 11/21/19

: And away we go!
|
| 12:03 |
: How’s that ZiPS 101 article coming? I know it feels to you like self promotion, but there are sooooo many projection skeptics out there who could be converted if they better understood the process.
|
| 12:04 |
: Not even thinking about it until my two big year-end/winter projects (the elegies and the ZiPS are done).
|
| 12:04 |
: I had process writing.
|
| 12:04 |
: What’s $/WAR at these days and how can I help make it better for the owners?
|
| 12:04 |
: Depends who you ask. Based on ZiPS projections, I still get the best predictor of salaries players get in the mid 7s.

: Hello from ATL! Scout is patrolling the backyard and Eric and I are readying ourselves for the NYC live event and the first batch of team prospect lists |
| 12:33 |
: Don’t know if he’s mentioned this yet, but we’ll be doing lists by spring training pod, since lots of pro coverage groups teams that way and it makes it easier to talk to each source once in the offseason instead of circling back a bunch of times |
| 12:34 |
: and I just noticed it appears to be sold out already |
| 12:34 |
: so I’m just being a tease now |

: Greetings, there is no baseball!
|
| 12:02 |
: But there is pretend baseball that may lead to future baseball.
|
| 12:03 |
: Unless, you know, the world ends in March or something. But then you won’t be aware of no baseball so our demise works out also!
|
| 12:03 |
: I like existing, but no longer needing to finish cleaning out the basement is cool too.
|
| 12:04 |
: Where can I get plate appearances per lineup slot. Thanks!
|
| 12:04 |
: Our Split Leaderboards are just the tincture you need for revitalization, good sir!

: Hello from ATL! Scout is sunbathing on the porch and the grout for the backsplash should be going in later today. Big changes to the chat as I figured out how to add a picture so you can tell me apart from people that ask questions as me. To your questions: |
| 12:21 |
: As a recent home purchaser whose kitchen could use a slight face lift, I’d love to see the pictures of your new backsplash! Did you install yourself? |
| 12:21 |
: I knew this would be the backsplash chat |
| 12:21 |
: |
| 12:22 |
: that’s mid installation, it’ll eventually go to the ceiling behind the vent |
| 12:22 |
: Had the contractor’s guys do it. 5th contractor was the charm! |

: Hello fellow baseball fans. Let’s get this thing started.
|
| 8:05 |
: Greetings chatters and chatees.
|
| 8:06 |
: The end. The end of baseball.
|
| 8:06 |
: Let’s pretend the Mariners make the World Series in the next few years [hearty chuckle]. Who throws out the first pitch?
|
| 8:06 |
: Don’t know what we’re going to see tonight, but I’m rooting for a nail-biter with no ump-show controversies.
|
| 8:07 |
: Unless he’s signed with a team, no way King Felix doesn’t get to throw out a first pitch in this case.
