BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2021-04-28 13:00:00 (link to chat)Very deep NL only, do you see any upside to any of the following: Austin Adams, Robert Stephenson, Sam Howard, Sam Coonrod, Kyle Finnegan?
(Buff from Colorado)
If you're saying for saves...not really. If I was going on good bets to produce a strong season, I'd take Adams. He could hurt your WHIP but the strikeouts are there and he can also work his way out of jams with his stuff. Kind of a high risk/reward type there. (Craig Goldstein)
2015-05-22 13:00:00 (link to chat)What can you say about the trio of pitchers the A's have down in Stockton: RHP Dylan Covey, LHP Dillion Overton, and RHP Kyle Finnegan? They have put up okay numbers so far this season, but each is pretty old A-ball.
(Melissa from San Francisco)
Dillon Overton - FB has been around 88 mph this year. Lacks the plus stuff but there's a chance for a backend option here. More of a command/feel type that has a good CH where he replicates the arm speed.

Dylan Covey - Usually sits around low 90's. Command/control has been erratic. Not sure I see a starting profile here but it's an intriguing arm.

Kyle Finnegan - Has FB velocity, with the other stuff lagging behind. Another interesting arm but likely not a start. (Tucker Blair)
