BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2020-03-06 13:00:00 (link to chat)Always scrounging for filling out the team. Based on ADP I see the following players undervalued by the market, your thoughts? Alex Dickerson, Anthony Santander, Nicky Lopez, Hanser Alberto, Miguel Rojas, Brandon Belt, Adam Frazier (ugh), Victor Reyes, Avisail Garcia, Leury Garcia, Mauricio Dubon, Nomar Mazara, and why not Josh Donaldson?
(pauls121 from Madison)		Based on ADP, I like Mazara (of course) and Donaldson. I am not in on the others mostly due to lack of impact offensive ability (Lopez, Alberto, Rojas, Frazier, Reyes, L. Garcia), lack of consistent playing time (Dickerson, Avisail Garcia, Mauricio Dubon), and simply proper pricing of the talent (Santander and Belt). (Jesse Roche)
2019-06-10 20:00:00 (link to chat)Many pundits were high on Adam Frazier, Chad Pinder, and Austin Barnes this year. I nabbed all 3, but not liking the results. Any hope now thru the end of the year?
(Vic from Baltimore)		I’m wrong all the time, so i get it, but ... what pundits were all over Austin Barnes and Chad Pinder, haha? I think those two just are who they are -- fairly bad. I like Frazier the most out of the three, but the ceiling there is like, .270-15-15? It’s just not a very enticing group. (Ben Carsley)
2019-02-25 16:00:00 (link to chat)Who are some fantasy sleepers this year?
(Buddy from Peoria)		See Simon's question above. Also, apropos of nothing other than their presence in my draft queue in Tout Wars right now (look away fellow drafters), I'm kind of into Adam Frazier and Ji-Man Choi. (Jon Hegglund)
2018-01-23 23:00:00 (link to chat)As the Pirates ship out established players for spare parts, are there any prospects, pre-existing or acquired, whose prominence for the 2018 season has accordingly risen, from either an MLB or a fantasy perspective?
(Bernie A from Yinzers with sad faces)		Yeah, we wrote a good amount about this in the various TAs in the wake of the Cutch and Cole deals, but in general, pretty much everyone who arrived in Pitt saw their outlooks improve. Moran'll get a shot to show whether his swing overhaul and improved launch angles can translate against big-league pitching in a longer look. Michael Feliz has closer-type stuff, he could emerge with some fantasy value if he can take a next step with his mechanical consistency. Musgrove's probably the biggest beneficiary in the immediate, as he'll get a shot to stick in a rotation now, under the tutelage of a pitching coach who has thrived repeatedly with pitchers who work off of similar skill sets. I like him as an NL-only play. Bryan Reynolds is pretty boring as a fantasy prospect, but his ETA probably bumps a bit in the Burgh. Even Jason Martin'll get a shot in the nearer term at holding down a 25-man role, there's some moderately interesting speed and pop there.

Then beyond the new arrivals, Adam Frazier probably starts the year as a starting outfielder now, which is good for his owners, and Jordan Luplow might get a shot to show what he can do as more than just a weak-side platoon until Meadows proves he can stay on the field and is ready to contribute. (Wilson Karaman)
