Date	Question	Answer
2014-08-19 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Does Baltimore have an issue with developing good starting pitching? Brian Matusz, Zach Britton, and Tommy Hunter are all now in the bullpen. Jake Arrieta is excelling in Chicago. Should Kevin Gausman be hoping for a trade? (Shawn from Cubicle)	Kevin Gausman will be just fine. I don't think their player development is the greatest but that also has to do with the players' makeup and willing to make adjustments and work. (CJ Wittmann)
2014-05-07 17:00:00 (link to chat)	Who are some under the radar guys who are available in most leagues that you could see taking over a closer role at some point this season? (Chris from NY)	Chris Perez on the Dodgers (he has moved past Brian Wilson in my opinion). Santiago Casilla on the Giants if Romo's arm falls off. I still like someone besides Tommy Hunter eventually getting saves in Baltimore. (Mike Gianella)
2014-03-19 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Bret, I'm tempted to trade my best keeper (Carlos Santana at $9) for a package of Tommy Hunter ($1), George Springer ($5) and Carlos Correa ($2) in an AL Only dynasty league. Smart? (Brett G. from KC)	Not if you want to win. (Bret Sayre)
2014-03-19 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Let's assume that Dylan Bundy's recovery goes perfectly. What do the Orioles do with him this year? How many starts does he get? (mattstupp from NYC)	Zero starts, and he ends up as a very strong reliever in the second half, possibly closing games unless Tommy Hunter can perfect a high-wire act against lefties. (Bret Sayre)
2014-03-19 20:00:00 (link to chat)	hi there. i need to trade for a closer in my pool... These are the guys "available". How would you rank these guys in terms of risk (being bad or injury): Tommy Hunter, Uehara, Feliz, Janssen. thanks... (Phillip from Squamish)	It's clearly Uehara if they're all similar prices. There's unnecessary risk in the other three. (Bret Sayre)

2010-10-06 10:00:00	2010 Playoffs Day One	Moneyball16 (Calgary): How much merit is there to pulling Cliff Lee and bringing him back for Game 4? Tommy Hunter seems like a likely disaster for the Rangers. This lead isn't exactly safe, but you're right, bypassing Hunter would really help the Rangers. It seems that the Rangers, like the Phillies before them, have made the determination that Lee just isn't built for starting on three days' rest, and would rather make sure of a Game One victory than risk pushing him past his natural limits. (Ben Lindbergh)
