Date	Question	Answer
2015-05-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)	In my Yahoo league I am building for next year and thereafter. My roster is Russell Martin, Kendrys Morales, Josh Harrison, Brock Holt, Brett Gardner, Dexter Fowler, Gregory Polanco, Coco Crisp, Carlos Ruiz, Travis Snider, Kyle (and Corey) Seager, Jason Heyward, Carlos Correa, Desmond Jennings, Javier Baez, Matt Harvey, Carlos Martinez, Jimmy Nelson, Edinson Volquez, Jonathan Paplebon, Chris Heston, Noah Syndergaard, Lucas Giolito, Julio Urias, Jose Berrios, Matt Cain and Sean Doolittle. 8 keepers allowed. Comments? Suggestions? (TimLandry from Montreal Quebec Canada)	Keep Matt Harvey eight times. (Christopher Crawford)
2015-02-16 11:00:00 (link to chat)	Who do you think will make the biggest improvement with their new team (traded or FA pickup) as compared to their most recent team? seems like you like lawrie? (Dan from Bloomington)	I think Lawrie is probably a little underrated because he's a post-hype guy. I'm not sold on him being equal to or better than Donaldson though. Myers is up there. He'd probably be my pick, actually. Kendrys Morales is an obvious one. Jason Grilli isn't going to be the biggest gainer, but I liked what I saw from him in Anaheim. (R.J. Anderson)
2014-08-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)	What are your thoughts on Kenny's Vargas and his prospects after his productive start? (Silverback38 from VA)	I like him a lot. I could see him in his prime becoming what Kendrys Morales was before his season-ending injury. (Mike Gianella)
2014-08-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Thoughts on Kennys Vargas' hot start and future as the Twins DH/1B? (Ed from Minnesota)	I was asked about him earlier. His peak might be Kendrys Morales before the Morales season-ending injury. (Mike Gianella)
2014-05-29 19:30:00 (link to chat)	Word is the Yankees are interested in Kendrys Morales. This is an ideal landing spot for him, no? (SK from Boston)	From a fantasy POV, Yankees and Rangers would both be great. Keep him away from Seattle. (Ben Carsley)

2010-04-05 09:30:00	Season Opener Roundtable	Hideki Matsui and Kendry Morales go back-to-back off of Jose Mijares. Probably not what the Twins were hoping their lefty specialist would do in that situation. (Dan Wade)
