FanGraphs Chat with Dan Szymborski on May 16, 2024

Dan Szymborski FanGraphs Chat - 5/2/24


12:01 Dan Szymborski:

There’s a time for every purpose under heaven, even SzymChat

12:03 Guest:

why is ZiPS still so in on Jack Suwinski’s bat?

12:03 Dan Szymborski:

One thing is I’m not sure taht wRC+ is working correctly on the FG page at the moment

12:04 Dan Szymborski:

But it’s still an extremely small sample

12:04 Dan Szymborski:

and full fat ZiPS isn’t that much more negative

12:04 Guest:

With the new BatCast data, do you think it will turn out to be better to have tightly clustered A and B swings (in terms of length or bat speed), or to have a smooth continuum?

12:04 Dan Szymborski:

Honestly, I’m not sure yet

12:05 Edward:

Who does zips think grabs the lions share of the NYY C position going forward? Both great framers and strengths offensively

12:05 Dan Szymborski:

Not sure ZiPS really has an opinion o that type

12:05 Dan Szymborski:

I expect the amount of the job Wells grabs to be how much his bat plays

12:06 Maino:

Is NYY bullpen a mirage?

12:06 Dan Szymborski:

To an extent, but not Holmes

12:07 Gio:

I feel like I need to stick with Jorge Soler and reactivate him when he comes off of the IL this week but I’m wondering if he’s going to bounce back. What do you think?

12:07 Dan Szymborski:

Mildly confident maybe?

12:07 Dan Szymborski:

It was always going to be a bit of a struggle in the park he was in

12:07 Dan Szymborski:

And if MLB’s monkeying with the baseballs again, I can see it hurting Soler more than the average player

12:07 Despair:

Say some bad things about the Cardinals for the sake of my catharsis please

12:07 Dan Szymborski:

I had a very mean AI thread yesterday

12:07 the person who asks the lunch question:

what’s for lunch?

12:07 Dan Szymborski:

I had a bowl of rice chex

12:08 Dan Szymborski:

there’s chili in the slow cooker for later
