Date	Question	Answer
2018-07-16 19:00:00 (link to chat)	Can Ranger Suarez turn into a sneaky 3 like a Jose Quintana type? What was it that made Quintana so good? (Eddie from Naples)	Jose Quintana was not a 3 at his peak, he was a 2 bordering on an ace. Quintana, at his best, has elite command and is difficult to pick up; the sum of the pitcher is greater than any individual part. I like Suarez. Ranger Suarez might be a 3, but he probably won't be Quintana. (Jarrett Seidler)
2018-04-23 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Would you rather own Aaron Sanchez or Jose Quintana in a dynasty league? I've been offered Sanchez & Kela for Quintana and am pretty tempted to do it. (Warren from Australia)	Man, I'm bummed about Quintana. He lost a tick on his fastball and it seems to have made a difference. I've never been big on Sanchez. Though he's been using his changeup a lot this season and it's an average pitch. However results are still meh. I'd hang onto Quintana. (Eddy Almaguer)
2018-02-28 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Can I win a 16 team league by almost exclusively focusing on hitting? Blow off arms and just hodge podge 2 start guys, starters in the RP slot, hodge podge. (Kurt from New Lenox)	I wish. The replacement level pitchers in today's fantasy games are worse than ever before. Especially if you're in a H2H league you need that pitching for the playoffs. You can try and make the tier of Jose Quintana starters your first, but that's as long as I'd wait. (Eddy Almaguer)
2017-10-12 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Is it Jose Quintana time? (cowhitchurch from Austin, TX)	I guess you try to let Hendricks muddle through with the bases empty (now that Taylor killed that rally, am I right?) and if he gets out maybe give him another clean slate next inning, especially if you score some runs. If he lets a few more guys on base though that has to be it, right? (Nick Schaefer)
2017-10-12 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Can we confidently conclude Jose Quintana is great and very lovable as a player? (Mike Musary from Illinois)	If anybody disagrees, not only should you dislike and distrust them, I think you can report them to the police for suspicious behavior. (Nick Schaefer)
