DateQuestionAnswer
2019-02-06 21:00:00 (link to chat)Pure closer prospects are obviously kind of rare since usually they're failed starting pitching prospects, but are there any that fit that description worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues? Burdi, anyone else?
(Nothing from Clever)		Dylan Cease, Taylor Hearn and Nate Pearson are guys who I hope can stick in the rotation but who are honestly more likely to be closer-type relievers. Burdi is a good one. Dakota Hudson and Yency Almonte could get there. Another sleeper candidate -- Durbin Feltman in Boston. - BC (Dynasty 101 Chat w/ Ben Carsley and Bret Sayre)
2018-02-05 12:00:00 (link to chat)Which player did you fight for but ultimately couldn't get inside the top 101?
(Jeremy from SD)		So the nice thing about taking the lead on this list is I can usually squeeze my guys in (see: Arquimedez Gamboa). Would have liked to find room for Yency Almonte, Jose Albertos, and Jhailyn Ortiz. (Top 101 with Jeffrey Paternostro)
