DateQuestionAnswer
2020-04-01 13:00:00 (link to chat)I've been trying to follow the Cardinals' back-end rotation situation. From the outside, it looks like Kwang Hyun Kim could be leading the pack for that 5th starter spot, followed by Daniel Ponce de Leon and Genesis Cabrera. I think there's something to like about each of them, all were sharp in spring training, and assuming some missed time for Wainwright plus potential double headers, they may each get a chance to start at some point. Who do you like most from a skills perspective for a dynasty team that probably won't be competitive this year?
(Pete from Massachusetts)		We've got Austin Gomber in that mix as well. I like Cabrera most from a raw stuff perspective which is mostly what I like to gamble on when talking back-end guys in fantasy because they're easy enough to drop if needed. Kim is second for me in that he can probably help with WHIP assuming he doesn't get hit around much. He is always in the zone and won't walk much. I don't think Ponce de Leon should be factoring into a long-term dynasty team as a starter, really. Although in all honestly, probably none of these guys should. Cabrera is almost definitely a reliever long term. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-07-08 20:00:00 (link to chat)Can Austin Gomber come up to STL at some point in second half and be an effective SP for them?
(Craig from Chicago)		Sure, he was pretty close to that last year. (Jarrett Seidler)
2018-09-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)Are Austin Dean and Ramon Laureano keepers? Full-time players in 2019? And what are chances that Austin Gomber remains a starter in 2019?
(Slappy from NC)		I imagine Laureano will be in Oakland's plans, but I can't predict with any confidence what the Marlins will do. Dean doesn't have any "L's" in his name, so that has to work out in his favor.

I think the Cardinals' rotation is probably too crowded for Gomber to see regular action, although their staff hasn't exactly been the beacon of health, so he'll get some starts. (Mark Barry)
2018-08-29 19:00:00 (link to chat)Austin Gomber looks promising right? 4 on talent with some devil magic making him a 3?
(Kenny from Trampoline in back)		I think you're on the right track. I'm not in on him right now and a lot has to happen for him to be an SP3. (Eddy Almaguer)
2018-07-30 23:00:00 (link to chat)Austin Gomber looked impressive. Can he be a 3?
(Kurt from New Lenox)		I will never, ever speak ill of a high-slot funky southpaw, but that's too rich for my blood. Valuable big-league staff piece though? Sure! (Wilson Karaman)
