BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2020-03-02 12:00:00 (link to chat)Who are some under the radar prospects in the high minors that could help teams this year?
(bphil2712 from MO)		I'll throw Monte Harrison and Joe Palumbo out I guess. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-08-23 15:30:00 (link to chat)Some fringe guys I would like your thoughts on -- Adrian Morejon, Logan Webb, Peter Lambert, Joe Palumbo, Patrick Sandoval.
(The Colonel from Pasadena, CA)		I think Morejon doesn't really belong in this group. He's got a higher ceiling than the rest. Lambert is a big Jeffrey guy, but I think it's more mid-back rotation than anything. I think Palumbo might be in the same bucket as Lambert but with more strikeouts, so from a fantasy angle that's my preference. He might end up a reliever. Sandoval I just need to watch more of, but my sense from prior to the season was he's probably a reliever? I have no thoughts on Logan Webb. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-08-16 12:00:00 (link to chat)Any of these guys look like they could be more than #5s? Peter Lambert, Bryan Abreu, Jose Suarez, Adbert Alzolay, Lewis Thorpe, Logan Webb (GB%!), Joe Palumbo?
(The Colonel from Pasadena, CA)		I like Lambert, but it's a brutal profile for Coors. Palumbo is the obvious one there to me. Alzolay has upside well past a number 5, but significant reliever risk. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-05-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)Hi Craig. 2 Things: First, I'm a new subscriber and I am LOVING BP. Thank you guys for all the hard work. Second a quick question: I'm in full rebuild mode in a dynasty league, heavily tilted towards SP, and I've never had more fun. I'm stacked with prospects on the hitting side, and have some solid SP prospects. I was wondering if you had any under the radar names in the high minors with fantasy SP 2/3 upside. Already have Gallen. Cats are Ks, K/9, QS, BAA, WHIP, HLD, SV.
(pats1124 from Durham, NC)		Let's start with something nice. Thank you! Tell your friends.

Two names that came to mind that fit this profile (loosely) in addition to Gallen: Joe Palumbo and Deivi Garcia. (Craig Goldstein)
