Date	Question	Answer
2014-08-06 16:30:00 (link to chat)	Is there anything Yuniesky Betancourt could beat Barry Bonds at? (Tanner from Nebraska)	Hot dog eating contest? Mario Kart Double Dash, but not the original Mario Kart (Yuni thrives on his ability to swap powers) Bunting Parcheesi (Cespedes Family BBQ)
2014-06-26 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Would you rather have Michael Gonzalez or Yuniesky Betancourt play at 1B? (Ron from Milwaukee)	Give me Yuni B. Look at it: http://onmilwaukee.com/images/articles/br/brewersyunibhitting/brewersyunibhitting_fullsize_story2.jpg?20130510101356 He was also hitting .141/.139/.155 in 18 games for Orix in Japan this year. I'm pretty sure he got sent down to the minors in Japan, too, which is hilarious. (J.P. Breen)
2013-04-30 12:00:00 (link to chat)	To follow up on your Moustakas comment, I guess I'd be satisfied with his production as long as his numbers don't regress and he matches last year's numbers (.242, 20 homers, 72 RBI). But from what I've seen so far, he has no chance to reach those mediocre numbers without something changing soon. (Bob from Kansas City)	Then I'd probably hold onto him for just a little longer unless there's a no-brainer available. Remember: We're still at the point in the season where Yuniesky Betancourt, bless his heart, is among the leaders in runs batted in. (R.J. Anderson)
2013-04-23 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Grade your snark (beckerharry from Guatemala)	Sort of lacking. And Yuniesky Betancourt is playing first base for a major league team, so no writers should have any excuse for lack of snark. It's like a golden era for snark. (Zachary Levine)
2012-04-23 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Rumor has it Jordany Valdespin is being called up. Do you see him carving out a role in that offense or is it just a short-term move? Thanks.. (LoyalRoyal from Kansas)	Considering who the Royals have at shortstop, he probably isn't any kind of drop off. But Yuniesky Betancourt is the very definition of a low bar to jump over. (Matthew Kory)

2010-04-05 09:30:00	Season Opener Roundtable	Heyward's home run might have been the most important bomb of the day, but I'm torn between Yuniesky Betancourt's and Carlos Gomez's for the most surprising. (Dan Wade)
