BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2016-02-25 12:00:00 (link to chat)Any hope for Dominic Brown ? Where might he land ?
(Steve from Chicago)		I'll go out on a limb and say Toronto.

I don't think there is much hope for him at this point, but I saw a lot of Chris Colabello and didn't see that coming, so... (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2015-10-22 14:00:00 (link to chat)Is Chris Colabello a Ken Phelp's All-Star?
(Paul from DC)		Late-blooming bat-only guy who proves legit? I... have my doubts. Strikeout-to-walk ratio is a mess. Phelps played back when batters had much better control of the strike zone leaguewide, and he was no exception. Maybe Colabello's stat line is just what a Phelps type looks like in this day and age, with global strikeout and walk rates where they are, but I would wait to see the next 500 PA before jumping in on him with both feet. In fact, even with one foot. (Matthew Trueblood)
2014-04-24 13:00:00 (link to chat)Is Chris Colabello for real ROS, or is it all going to come crashing down soon?
(Frank from Frank's House)		He's getting insane RBI opps with Dozier, Mauer, and Plouffe getting on base a TON in front of him. I'd sell high. He's not worthless, but nowhere near this good, IMO (Paul Sporer)
2013-09-04 13:00:00 (link to chat)Do you think there's such a thing as a AAAA player? Are there guys who destroy AAA but just can't play in MLB? Not directly related, but sort related, can Chris Colabello be a Morneau replacement in MIN? Does his 2013 MIN say anything about 2014?
(Cris E from St Paul, MN)		I absolutely believe in AAAA players. The major league level is the highest level for a reason, and the talent gulf between AAA and the majors can be extreme. There are countless players that have the skills to play in the upper minors but lack the high-end skill or adjustment ability to find sustainable success in the majors. (Jason Parks)
2013-07-19 13:00:00 (link to chat)Callups today: Chris Colabello and Junior Lake. Fliers or bench fodder?
(RotoLando from Cloud City)		Really depends on league, but needs to be pretty deep for either. (Paul Sporer)
