Date	Question	Answer
2017-11-03 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Any personal preferences among the back-end starter types in the White Sox system? E.g. Jordan Stephens, Spencer Adams, Jordan Guerrero, Ian Clarkin. I am exempting Dane Dunning from this list as I think he's better than this group. (nschaef from NYC)	I kind of like Spencer Adams despite it absolutely not being the kind of profile that usually does anything. Can I write-in A.J. Puckett? (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2016-12-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Kenny, thanks for chatting today. Who's your big sleeper in the Yankees system I should invest in for my dynasty team? (Jose from San Antonio)	You're very welcome Jose. I'm not the resident fantasy guy, but I kind of like Ian Clarkin, if you can consider him under the radar. If you want really under the radar, Tyler Wade is a five-tool player who just barely has the tools. Kind of boring, but smells like the kind of guy that will be consistently average. That might be worth something. (Kenny Ducey)
2016-06-20 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Can you give me the names of a few prospects, outside of the Top 101, that have the highest upside? (cracker73 from Florida)	LHP Ian Clarkin, RHP Tyler Mahle, SS Kevin Newman (Steve Givarz)
2016-05-19 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Kenny. Are there any Low Minor Yankee Prospects you are higher are then others who haven't been discussed? (Jerry from Earth)	Hey Jerry. I think Ian Clarkin has some upside as a 'low minor' prospect. I also think we don't talk about Jacob Lindgren enough. He still has a lot of strikeout upside to me. (Kenny Ducey)
2015-02-04 19:00:00 (link to chat)	Better pitching prospect this time next year: Luis Severino or Ian Clarkin? (jnyy from Oregon)	Severino has much better stuff, although it's certainly not a guarantee he sticks in the rotation. Three starter-quality pitches, but the body and mechanical profile is difficult to believe in. Stiff front leg, inconsistent release point. Still, Clarkin is more of a back-end guy, and you can at least dream on Severino. (Jordan Gorosh)
