DateQuestionAnswer
2016-05-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)Do you like Pedro Payano or Mitch Keller better?
(Larry from New Castle)		Like Payano, but Keller by a wide margin. (Christopher Crawford)
2016-05-18 19:00:00 (link to chat)Hey George. Was hoping to get your thoughts on some Low Minor Pitchers off to strong starts: Yohander Mendez & Pedro Payano? Should there strong start adjust our perspectives on them or too early?
(Jerry from Earth)		I really like Mendez. He's striking out 12-per-nine at High-A right now. Always bet on a lefty. (George Bissell)
