BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2015-05-26 19:00:00 (link to chat)	Mike, I'm eyeballing Ketel Marte for a spot on my roster. Roughly 100 minor leaguers are owned. What says you? Does he stick at SS or slide to 2B? Offensive upside worth it? (MP from Bluegrass State)	I think he can play a passable short, so he'll probably stick. The offensive upside makes him kind of borderline here. He's really a BABIP fueled player, and a lot of Mariners prospects don't seem to translate well to the bigs early on due to the tough park (think Dustin Ackley). So while Marte is worth owning here, he is borderline based on your question. (Mike Gianella)
2015-01-20 19:30:00 (link to chat)	A lot is being made about Jimmy Nelson the past two days with Breen even saying he heard a scout call him "special". What's his upside? Would you trade Michael Cuddyer and Dustin Ackley in dynasty for him for example? (OceanBalls from Yes)	I'd trade Ackley for him for sure. Cuddyer a closer call, really depends on need/where you are in contention cycle. He's not special for our purposes. (Ben Carsley)
2014-11-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Chris Davis for Dustin Ackley or Brad Miller, who says no? The Mariners could use a 1st basemen and the O's don't seem to want Davis. (Matt from Cambridge)	If Miller, the Mariners. If Ackley, the Orioles. (Sam Miller)
2014-06-17 20:00:00 (link to chat)	We in Canada have only been drafting Rule IV guys right after their June draft since 2009. That was the Dustin Ackley - Aaron Crow class in the American League. We've been drafting about 3 or 4 of them every June's first round ever since. It is too soon to say how many of them were a worthwhile pick. If Bryon Buxton turns out as good as expected that will make up for a long list of duds who didn't bring significant value. With your experience, can you quantify how worthwhile it has been to jump on these top picks right away? (John Carter from T.O.)	Since so many of the superstars in Scoresheet are first acquired in the supplemental that follows the MLB rule IV draft, we advocate grabbing as many of those lottery tickets as possible. You can keep the superstars indefinitely, so you don't have to be successful too often for it to be worthwhile taking those chances with supplemental picks. In some leagues, it's the only way you're going to end up with a player of that caliber, like Strasburg, Harper, Longoria, Tulowitzki, etc. In almost leagues, it's a great way to build up your keepers. We once said that in general you should trade for keepers and draft for depth, and the ability to pick up these potential superstars in a supplemental draft is the most obvious exception to that particular phrase. (Scoresheet Chat with Ben, Jared, and Ian)
2014-03-19 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Bret, besides Joe Mauer -- who is ending up on your team a lot this season? cheers, k (Kurt from Tacoma)	Alex Gordon always winds up on a bunch of my teams. Same with Albert Pujols. Then in the later rounds, Martin Perez, Dustin Ackley and Derek Norris (where applicable). (Bret Sayre)
2014-03-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Dustin Ackley. This is the year he puts it all together, right? (Frank from Seattle)	It could be. Again, we can't base anything off of what he does this spring, but its better than him hitting .150 all March, right? There's something to be said for settling into a spot on the field and just worrying about hitting. It worked for Alex Gordon after his initial struggles when he moved to the outfield. Ackley was learning a new position while trying to get to the majors. Not easy. Maybe he just needed to be left alone to hit. Who knows. (Jeff Moore)
2014-01-30 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Dustin Ackley or Chris Owings which has the better upside at the plate. (Jim from Tampa)	I like Owings better, at least relative to the stands of his position. (Ben Lindbergh)
2013-07-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you see Dustin Ackley as a quality MLB outfielder in the future? Even if he can field the position, will he ever hit enough? (Jim from Seattle)	Same thing as Jesus Montero. When you're not hitting enough for the difficult position you actually are playing, you're not hitting nearly enough for an easier position that requires more bat to provide the same value. I never liked when teams talked about moving their struggling guys down the defensive spectrum to add versatility. That's just making it more difficult for the bat to carry the position. (Zachary Levine)
2013-05-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Should Dustin Ackley be worried about Nick Franklin's hot start in AAA? (John from My desk)	At this point, Dustin Ackley should probably be worried about both Nick Franklin and Brad Miller. I really liked Ackley a lot coming up, but I wasn't alone there. While he's still 25, it sure doesn't look pretty. I haven't been the biggest Nick Franklin guy, but I do think he'd hit better than .226/.294/.328 in a full season right now. The only question is when you decide to pull the trigger on a potential move if Ackley keeps struggling. Don't forget, he was actually pretty good in 2011, but 2012 and the start of 2013 have been ugly. (Jason Cole)
2013-04-16 20:00:00 (link to chat)	How worried should we be about Jason Kipnis? Other waiver wire or buy low 2B to target if he is seriously injured? (RC from PDX)	See! You could probably get Jeff Keppinger for a song right now, and he should turn it around. Also, I'd be buying low on Dustin Ackley if you could. His owner is probably super frustrated with him right about now. (Bret Sayre)
2013-04-16 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Who do you think is best for the rest of this year at 2B: Dustin Ackley, Josh Rutledge, or Daniel Murphy? (nubber from tx)	Ackley. Still think he's the most talented out of that group. (Bret Sayre)
2013-04-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Should Dustin Ackley's fantasy owners cut bait on him? Should the Mariners? (Dan from NYC)	Thanks for the question, Dan. I'm one of those people who don't even look at April stats. If he was good enough in spring, he's good enough now. The situation bears monitoring, but we need more than 12 games to make that call. (Geoff Young)
2012-12-28 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Geoff, What do you think the Mariners' infield looks like for most of the season? (captnamerca from Dunedin)	Howdy Captain. I'm assuming it'll be similar to last year's, with Kendrys Morales displacing Justin Smoak at first base. Nick Franklin could make things interesting at second if Dustin Ackley doesn't get his act together. (Geoff Young)
2012-06-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Jay, After reading Jason Park's piece on Smoak, I was curious if you thought any of his struggles (and Montero's) were in part due the hitting coach. I realize Smoak has major issues, but the fact that the Mariners have made no progress in helping to resolve them, coupled with Montero's regression, makes me wonder. Is it too late to send Montero down in order to stop running the clock while he's hitting at a replacement level? Should they get him to learn 1B at AAA? (Nick Stone from New York, NY)	Hey Nick, I wonder about the quality of instruction the young hitters are receiving in Seattle - note that Dustin Ackley is struggling as well (.240/.319/.332). I believe that old friend Chris Chambliss is currently the hitting coach, the third one in four or five seasons (http://blog.seattlepi.com/marinersfanblog/2011/07/06/revolving-door-mariner-hitting-coach/). Maybe his approach just isn't working for the kids. That said, Safeco Field is a very tough place to hit, and I don't know whether there are weather/climate factors that have made it particularly tough this year beyond what we might have expected. Veterans like Ichiro have seen their performances collapse, Chone Figgins has never been the same since he hit town, and the road is littered with failed Mariners prospects. Maybe they need to think about adjusting the fences slightly to make it an easier place to hit. I do think the Mariners should send Montero down at some point in order to recover what may be a lost year from an arbitration/free agency standpoint. That said, Safeco is a particularly tough environment for righties. (Jay Jaffe)
2012-02-02 15:00:00 (link to chat)	I need to choose between Dustin Ackley, Jason Kipnis and Jemile Weeks as a long-term option at 2B in my Strat-o-matic league. Which of these guys has the most long-term value? I'm worried about Kipnis and/or Ackley moving to the outfield down the road. (Danny from NC)	I'd go with Ackley, he appears to be the most complete player of the three, and as best I can tell the Mariners seem committed to him at 2B. He's a much greater asset there than he would be in an outfield corner. (Cory Schwartz)
2012-01-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who is the better bet long-term at 2B: Dustin Ackley, Jemile Weeks or Jason Kipnis? (Desmond from Jersey)	I'd gladly take any of the above and smile the grandest of smiles. Forced to rank, I'd go: Ackley, Kipnis, Weeks. (Jason Parks)
2012-01-24 13:00:00 (link to chat)	SP keepers! The stats are the usual stats (ERA, K, WHIP, wins, etc.) The guys are: James Shields, Josh Beckett, CJ Wilson, Ervin Santana. Do I have them in the right order? (Might keep 2, but probably only 1 while hoarding young 2Bs like Jemile Weeks & Dustin Ackley.) Thanks! (David R. from Somewhere, USA)	Yes, you do have them in the right order, though I think there's a drop-off from Beckett to Wilson and that Beckett is a bit underrated this year. (Derek Carty)
2012-01-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you think Dustin Ackley and Mike Moustakas will have effective enough traditional 5 category numbers to be solid starters at their positions in a deep 11 team keeper league? Very encouraging late 2011 numbers by both guys. (Honey Badger from NYC)	Honey Badger don't give a shat... Ok, out of my system... If that's a mixed league, they might be solid enough, but they're not guys I'd be thrilled to have starting for me in 2012 in a 5x5, 11-team mixed league. I'd rather have Moustakas than Ackley for 2012, though. (Derek Carty)
2011-11-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)	How do you evaluate the following young 2B in terms of long-term fantasy value?: Jemile Weeks, Jason Kipnis, Dustin Ackley. (Steve from Pitt)	Kipnis, Weeks, Ackley (Derek Carty)
2011-05-09 13:00:00 (link to chat)	When does Dustin Ackley's stock start dropping? Doesn't he actually have to produce at some point? (Geo from work)	Seriously, you people read what I write, correct? (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-03-09 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Fantasy question. I am in a deep 20 team league with 5 keepers per season. Looking at 2nd baseman strictly for this season, who would be more valuable, Dustin Ackley or Sean Rodriguez. And looking at it from a more long term perspective, Ackley, Christian Colon, Grant Green (assuming he moves to 2nd) or Rodriguez, (kcroyalsguy from KC)	I'd go with Sean Rodriguez. Better team. Ackley won't get called up until June, and I think Ackley's value lies more in his secondary skills than standard 5x5 stats. Long-term, out of those guys it absolutely has to be Ackley, no? He just projects to be a different caliber of player. (Jeremy Greenhouse)
2011-02-22 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Dustin Ackley seems to be one of the more controversial prospects out there. What's your take on him? Has Kipnis surpassed him among 2B prospects? Is Ackley a 2B in the end? (Rob from Alaska)	I have an article coming out tomorrow on the Mariners system, with a lengthy Ackley report. (Jason Parks)
2011-01-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)	I have the 1st overall pick in this years draft out of a 16 team, H2H, 7 holdover league. I'm debating over which minors prospect might be the best one to select. I'm currently looking at: Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Mike Moustakas, Dustin Ackley, Julio Teheran. I also realize that some of these are obviously closer to the Majors than others, or should that not be my only requirement? (Bill from New York)	I'm far from the fantasy expert here, having given that up years ago (too much of a good thing), and you don't need Kevin Goldstein to tell you those are all great prospects. Harper is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent, but obviously he has no real track record as of yet. I love Trout because of his range of skills and would probably go for him just on that basis even if you won't see him for awhile, and I figure Ackley to be the most speculative of the bunch. Moustakas is probably the safest short-term play, even though I'm certain that the Royals will delay/screw up/botch his promotion in some way. They'll probably block him by luring Ruben Sierra out of retirement, or something like that. (Steven Goldman)
2010-08-20 15:30:00 (link to chat)	How do Dustin Ackley and Jason Kipnis match up as far as tools, projection and upside? (Mike from Cleveland)	I've asked this exact question myself and it's one I'm struggling with. There is the whole reputation vs. results quandry. Ackley is faster, should be a better hitter, but Kipnis HAS been the better hitter, and has a much more successful conversion to the infield. (Kevin Goldstein)
2010-05-28 14:00:00 (link to chat)	What are the reports on Dustin Ackley at the quarterpole? His early season flop seems to be behind him, though he's still not playing as everyone seemed to assume he would. (jaymoff from Salem, OR)	He has two hits in his last five games. You sure he's out of it? I'm quite concerned. I've talked the three scouts who have seen him. Every time I've expected something like "He's fine, just hitting balls right at guys and pressing.". But I'm not getting that. I'm getting reports with a lot of questions about his game. (Kevin Goldstein)
2010-04-08 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Who are some of the early favorites for Minor League Player of the Year? (scarlisle17 from Carrollton, TX)	Mike Stanton, Dustin Ackley, Christain Friedrich . . . (Kevin Goldstein)
