Date	Question	Answer
2017-05-04 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you ever hear about parents getting involved in the development of a prospect? I assume teams keep that under wraps, but it's bound to happen, right? (Jack from Box)	Sure. Colby Rasmus probably the most recent famous example. A few others I can't really share of course. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2016-08-11 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Should Brewers fans be concerned about the struggles Brett Phillips has had this season? (Thatoneguy from Milwaukee)	I don't think so. Brett Phillips is the kind of prospect that gets underrated due to his low batting average. He's still a potential 15/20 guy in Miller Park with quality defense in center field. He may be a league-average regular, rather than a perennial All-Star, but guys like Colby Rasmus still have long big-league careers. (J.P. Breen)
2016-07-05 19:00:00 (link to chat)	What kind of deal do you think Josh Reddick gets? Good defense, good power, some issues staying healthy, and he still struggles mightily with lefties. (Todd from San Francisco)	That's an interesting question. He might get qualified, but he could also be one of the top free agents of this class...which makes him difficult to predict. Comp wise, he's close to Colby Rasmus, who took the qualifying offer. Alex Gordon took a 4 year, 72 MM deal. Reddick possibly ends up between them, both on years and cash. (Kate Morrison)
2015-10-06 19:30:00 (link to chat)	So, uh, Colby Rasmus? (Prospect Lover from New Yawk)	Well it had to work one of these years. - JP (AL Wild Card Game Chat)
2015-04-06 15:15:00 (link to chat)	Do you like Pompey as an everyday option in CF for the Blue Jays? (Denis from Toronto, ONT, CAN)	As opposed to what? Mike Trout? No. But Pompey is probably the Blue Jays best option. I suppose they could have re-signed Colby Rasmus, but that ship kinda sailed. If his defense is as advertised then they should be fine getting runs from elsewhere. (Matthew Kory)

Date	Roundtable Name	Comment
2010-04-05 09:30:00	Season Opener Roundtable	Notable on the long-ball front is the fact that Scott Rolen nearly went deep twice. Colby Rasmus went above the wall to steal what what would have been his second earlier today. (David Laurila)
2010-04-05 09:30:00	Season Opener Roundtable	I do believe that Mr. Colby Rasmus has gone deep. He will do that many more times this season. (David Laurila)
