Padres EVT Podcast: Episode 79 with Dan Szymborski

Happy New Year, Padres’ fans!

With the New Year comes a new EVT podcast where we are joined for the third time by Dan Szymborksi, ESPN Writer and creator of the ZIPS projections system.

We begin the podcast by talking about Eric Hosmer and whether it would be a mistake for the Padres to give him a contract in the seven-year, $140 million range.

Then we move on to discussions about Lorenzo Cain and Mike Moustakas, the Padres acquisition of Freddy Galvis, the value of clubhouse leadership, the ZIPS projections system and its pros and cons, and finish up with a Hall of Fame discussion centered on Trevor Hoffman and whether the system as a whole is broken.

Thank you for tuning in and stay tuned for more special podcast guests!
