| 2020-04-03 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What do you think of my 14 team 5 x 5 pitching staff? (8 pitchers per team) Enough to compete? Nola, Erod, Ryu, Maeda, Odorizzi, Chirinos, Gausman, Hand, W. Smith
(Goat & Soda from Sarajevo) | I think it is competitive, but it is probably below average in a 14-team league. You do not have a SP1. Instead, you have a SP2 (Aaron Nola), two SP3 (Eduardo Rodriguez & Hyun-Jin Ryu), two SP4 (Kenta Maeda & Jake Odorizzi), and two SP5 (Yonny Chirinos & Kevin Gausman). You will probably need some overperformance to keep pace with the top teams in the league. You also may be struggling for saves as Hand is a potential midseason trade candidate (he could lose his role) and Smith is technically not a closer at the moment, though I do expect him to receive 10+ saves.

| 2020-01-24 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What do you think of Eduardo Rodriguez and Trevor Richards over the next 3-4 years. What kind of pitcher do they develop into?
(caseyj15 from Medford, OR) | I think we have seen the best Rodriguez has to offer, which is quite good. 200+ IP with 200+ Ks is a rarity these days. He turns 27 just after OD and I would expect more of the same from him, though he did outperform his 4.46 DRA and prior knee issues are still a background concern for me. I know some value him more highly than I do, but his early NFBC ADP is reasonable (136) and he is a top-150 dynasty asset for me. As for Richards, it is hard to say exactly what Tampa Bay plans to do with its plethora of arms, especially since they heavily utilize the opener. Last year, he was used as the arm behind the opener akin to Ryan Yarbrough and Yonny Chirinos. That rotation is loaded, though, with Snell, Morton, and Glasnow as locks, and Yarbrough, Chirinos, McKay, and Richards as the chief competition for the 4/5 spots. Given Richards' so-so control and basically two-pitch arsenal (FB/CH), he probably profiles best in a middle relief role. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2019-03-15 16:00:00 (link to chat) | If I start with a Sale and Taillon front end 15 team 5 x 5 pitching staff, can I wait until Round 20 plus for the other 5 starters? I would scoop up two closers between the Taillon pick and Round 20. What would be some options? Strahm, Lopez from the Marlins?
(Vic from Baltimore) | Man, neither one of those guys has been the picture of health, so I think that would be awfully risky to wait that long for rotation depth. As far as late round guys you could nab, I like Trevor Cahill, Aaron Sanchez and Yonny Chirinos an awful lot for their ADP. (Mark Barry) |
| 2018-04-05 20:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Yonny Chirinos worth even looking at in fantasy?
(Mr. Fister from Arlington) | yes in deeper formats. (Mike Gianella) |
| 2018-01-23 23:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you see Yonny Chirinos or Yarbrough getting significant innings in Tampa? And if so, relief or starting?
(Nick from Brooklyn) | Yonny's kinda been my undercover lover for the past year or so, and I wrote about him fauningly in an MLU back in September: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/article/32721/minor-league-update-games-of-september-7/
They profile similarly, those two - good control, sneaky better-than-you-think stuff. I don't see why TB wouldn't want to try 'em both out in rotation roles, they've both done some pushing and shoving in the upper minors. Yarbrough seemed to find a bat-misser last year, and with his control that's a thing, right there. I think Chirinos is the better bet between the two, but it's close, and I wouldn't be surprised if either or both wound up with perfectly functional big-league careers. (Wilson Karaman) |
