|---|---|---|
| 2014-04-08 14:00:00 (link to chat) | In a points league where SP RP dual eligibility is huge I am going with Jesse Chavez Jim Johnson and J Benoit in my 3 RP slots. Would you drop any for Daniel Webb, Cody Allen, Farquhar Ryan Cook David Carpenter or Chris Withrow?
Scoring Saves (8) Holds (4) K (2) W (10) IP (2) (Stu from Rhinebeck, NY) | I really like Cody Allen as well as Withrow, so I might swap one of them in for Benoit. Withrow is my favorite of the group, but probably ranks last from a fantasy perspective given the longer odds of his finding saves. It depends on the size of your league, but Chavez could have a shorter shelf life of relevance if it's a shallow league, and the A's will likely be cautious with his workloads this year. (Doug Thorburn) |
| 2011-08-16 17:00:00 (link to chat) | Thoughts on Dodger SP prospect Chris Withrow? Looks like control is still a major issue, but in his last 10 starts he's thrown 50 IP, 39 hits allowed, 35 walks, 51 strikeouts, and a 3.60 ERA (4.22 ERA on the year). (DS from LA) | Control is a major issue, so s the fact he has thrown 266 innings in AA since the 2009 season. Additionally, a 3.60 ERA despite allowing 74 baserunners in 50 innings screams a very lucky strand rate. Relief potential unless he finds better command. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-07-21 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Chris Withrow of the Dodgers made a few Top 100 prospects lists as recently as 2010. He lost his command last year, but it looks like he's bouncing back this year, with 81.2 IP, 68 hits allowed, and 82 Ks (but 49 BBs). Any thoughts on Withrow and whether he can be a viable mid-rotation guy in the future? (Dennis from LA) | 5.5 walks per 9 at AA worries me. Don't have enough info on him but I'm efforting from someone who's seen him (Mike Ferrin) |
| 2011-06-02 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Welcome to BP!
Would really love to hear more about how you got into Scout School and some tales of how it went. Could you possibly write an article on this?
(SaberTJ from Cleveland, OH) | Thanks! I'm very excited to be here. Unfortunately, if I recall correctly, they didn't want me to write too much about the inner workings of the program, so an article would probably be out of the question. I can tell you that I remember Billy Hamilton (Reds), Francisco Peguero (Giants), and Chris Withrow (Dodgers) being some of the more impressive guys I saw and thinking all three could be legit big-leaguers. I was kind of unimpressed with the small sample I saw of Randal Grichuk. Also, on the last day, there were some Arizona Fall Leaguers taking BP on the field across from where we were, and I remember watching Jason Heyward and thinking that he had awesome bat speed. At this point I don't need to tell you that Heyward is good, but given his slow (potentially injury-compromised) start to 2011 and now his DL stint, he might be a good guy to inquire on in fantasy leagues. (Derek Carty) |
| 2010-04-08 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Logan White claimed in an interview that Chris Withrow's arm is better than Kershaw's - spring training hype or legit evaluation? (does White have a rep for inflating his players?) (Sanchez101 from Santa Barbara) | Logan certainly likes his own players, but Withrow certainly has Kershaw's velocity, if not a tick more. What he doesn't have in Kershaw's breaking ball, nor his left-handedness. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-12-11 13:00:00 (link to chat) | A debate's been raging on another site, as to who is the better prospect, Chris Withrow or Jenry Mejia? I say both may wind-up in the pen, if they don't develop better secondary offerings. Care to weigh in? (Rhys26 from Kansas City) | I think you're first comment there is VERY accurate. I like them both quite a bit -- there's no slam dunk obviously better one. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-02-16 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Few 2007 1st rounders that could possibly break out this year: Chris Withrow and Neil Ramirez. Yay or nay? (Ronald Reagan from GA) | I'm gonna go nay, yay, and then throw in Justin Jackson for fun. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-03-26 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Chris Withrow or Tim Alderson? (Jack from Lexington) | Alderson for now, but I trust Logan White's decision when he chooses Withrow. (Bryan Smith) |
