Date	Question	Answer
2020-10-07 13:00:00 (link to chat)	The Marlins have had a nice story in 2020 and are still alive in the NL playoffs. Who are your 3 top (pleasant) surprises for you from their organization? And, if Sandy Alcantara is not included among those 3 players, could you please evaluate his progress from being a Cardinals' signee? (ironcityguys from daBurgh)	It basically all has to be on the pitching side, right? I was revisiting that Ozuna deal and they got him and Gallen (and Sierra) out of it. That's not bad at all. Can I include Gallen? I know they flipped him for Chisholm, but he really blossomed in Miami before the deal. If not, it's hard to criticize what they've gotten out of Pablo Lopez and Brian Anderson. Regarding Alcantara, I think I'm most impressed with the refinement to his control. He's really around the zone a lot, and hasn't always been that way. He's also become a lot more consistent, generally. I saw him a bunch last year and one inning could unravel him. Small sample, but it didn't seem to be the case this year. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-10-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Sandy Alcantara was a horse this year. Too many IP for a young pitcher? What do you see as his future? (ironcityguys from urban area)	Ehhh. He made 32 starts and was good enough to go deep enough into games and accumulate the innings. He had ~160 innings in 2018, so this doesn't seem like a drastic jump for someone who has the frame for it. I think he's a solid 3 most of the time, maybe a 3/4? He had some ugly outings but someone you close your eyes and at the end of the year, it is pretty good. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-05-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Can BP develop a weekly planning tool for determining which Sandy Alcantara will show up? (Jim from Chicago)	If only. I saw him in person in DC last week and he was really good...until he wasn't. I don't think he's consistent inning to inning, much less on a weekly basis. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-04-12 16:00:00 (link to chat)	12 team, Roto, 5x5, dynasty keeper (no penalty for keepers)... Who wins: Carlos Correa, Sandy Alcantara for Al Mondesi, Forrest Whitley. Thanks! (James from New Hampshire)	I think we're looking at the very real possibility that Mondesi is a better fantasy option than Correa, and Whitley is so far ahead of Alcantara for me that Mondesi doesn't have to beat Correa. (Darius Austin)
2019-03-15 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Who do you project to make the Marlins rotation? (Flex F Fox from San Diego)	I don't like to admit it, but I kinda sorta really like Trevor Richards. He started to strike dudes out down the stretch and had a 3.57 DRA in 126 1/3 innings. Otherwise, I'm guessing Urena, Chen, Straily and then maybe Pablo Lopez until Caleb Smith comes back or Sandy Alcantara is ready? (Mark Barry)
