BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2019-09-27 12:00:00 (link to chat)	If they take the happy fun ball out of play, whose stock gets hurt the most? (Slippery Pete from The Deep)	I think it's your random 20-home-run dudes more than you random 40-home-run dudes as I alluded to discussing Rosario. Roberto Perez going back to 2017 Roberto Perez, Danny Santana. Guys like that. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-07-03 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Is Bland Name Syndrome a real thing? How long do you let a Dwight Smith Jr, or Danny Santana sit on waivers because who is this guy, and why should I believe in the hot streak? (captnamerca from USA)	Maybe for guys on the fringe like that but I think more likely there are "known names" versus pop up types who are either unknown or previously known to be bad and we tend towards the guys we know have been good before. (Craig Goldstein)
2015-02-26 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Can Danny Santana be a poor mans Jose Reyes? Very similar skill sets. (Jake from GA)	Umm..no. Santana doesn't have a single skill that matches Reyes' either offensively or defensively. (Bret Sayre)
2015-03-03 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Danny Santana in MN is another that looked great due to BABIP. He's a waterbug. Does that type of player have a better or worse chance of full regression? (Cris E from St Paul, MN)	He's going to regress hard. A thing about some of the high BABIP guys is that they have low strike probability, indicative of the pitcher being afraid of them. Santana doesn't have that; he has one of the highest average strike probabilities in the league. He's a mirage, I think. (Rob Arthur)
2015-02-25 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Why does Danny Santana not get more recognition? He has always been a very talented hitter, even with some regression the sheer volume of plate appearances with his skill set could see him put up very similar numbers to what Jose Reyes did last year right? (Craig from Buford)	Danny Santana teased for a few years and would show flashes of what he could do followed by very bad days in the field and at the plate. Very inconsistent player. Scouts definitely liked him more than prospect list makers all along. He may very well have been a guy who plays better on center stage under the big lights (big leagues). Hanley Ramirez was one of those. (Al Skorupa)
