Date	Question	Answer
2022-01-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)	So, for some reason I remember the post-trade deadline episode of For All You Kids Out There, in which you guys sort of mock the Mets for thinking that their offer for José Berríos stacked up to the Blue Jays'. Basically, the sense I got at the time was that the Mets seemed to think Ronny Mauricio was just as good (if not better) a prospect as Austin Martin, and you guys did not. With the caveat that I may have misunderstood/misremembered your analysis, I was just wondering if you could give a little insight into what went into ranking Mauricio/Martin back-to-back (I don't know Martin's body of work all too well, but I guess I expected him to be a little higher and Mauricio a little lower). (officialstankman from Southold, NY)	Yeah, I don't think any of us are super comfortable with the Mauricio ranking, but the back half of the list was a bit weaker than past year (for a couple different reasons I think). I think the larger issue with the Berrios trade is other teams (and yeah probably the Twins although I didn't outright ask) don't think he's as good as Martin, or at least not as valuable a trade piece when the deal was made. I'd expect Mauricio to have a fairly wide range of opinions based on how teachable you think the approach and swing decision issues are and to a lesser extent how model-heavy you are. (Top 101 chat w/Jeffrey Paternostro)
2020-08-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)	What pitching can I expect to get in return for Marcel Ozuna in a dynasty? Specifically in a QS league and competing this year. (Alex from Austin)	Look, I'm terrible at this so I took the question straight to my benevolent overlord Bret Sayre, who said someone in the vein of Jose Berrios or Frankie Montas--a top 25ish arm with limited mileage. I think Montas might be a stretch just because of how hot he's been, but Ozuna's been good too. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-08-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)	In a keep forever league with no salaries, I traded Yordan Alvarez for Trevor Williams earlier this year. I've been the laughingstock of the league ever since and no one will trade with me now because they all expect to get similar favorable deals. What's been your worst dynasty trade of 2019? (Haddy from Minnesota)	At least it's not as bad as trading Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields! We all have those, and it's part of the fun/terribleness of dynasty. This season we thought we made out like bandits getting Wenceel Perez and Jhon Torres for Jorge Soler. Like three years ago I traded Rafael Devers, Jose Berrios, Michael Conforto for Nolan Arenado, which at the time looked like a no-brainer, but has not aged particularly well. (Mark Barry)
2018-12-06 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Does Jose Berrios have another gear in him? (Chuck from Tinley Park)	Dude had 200 strikeouts and made the ASG last year. How much better can you expect him to be? (Jarrett Seidler)
2018-06-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)	What kind of pitcher would Freddy Peralta be if he had a plus curveball he threw 30% of the time? (Alex from Cabrini Green)	Uh, poor man's Jose Berrios maybe? If wishing only made it so though. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
