| 2020-03-11 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I run a dynasty league and one of my owners offered his Michael Chavis and Deivi Garcia for another owner's Ozzie Albies. The second owner then tweeted a fantasy expert asking if he should do this trade. Other members of the league saw the tweet and began circulating it. First of all, this would've been a terrible trade, right? Second, if you were offered the same deal, would you have gone to Twitter first seeking industry advice or gone to the league's trade block and posted to see what else is out there for Albies? Almost every team in the league could've beaten this offer probably, right? (Jordan from South Dakota) | Yeah that's a bad offer. I don't think it's a problem to try and find an expert opinion if you want, though I will say this is a great reason why the Bat Signal we offer is so useful. You get that opinion without anyone knowing you've asked. That said, yeah it can never hurt to say "I've got an offer for X and am considering it, if you want to make a bid, inquire within." I see that all the time in my leagues and it at least gives you the option of telling someone who complains about your trade "you should have beat it when I posted." (Craig Goldstein) |

Almost every team in the league could've beaten this offer probably, right? (Jordan from South Dakota) | In a standard dynasty league, it would be a bad trade, yes. If I (Albies owner) was offered that trade, I'd just decline, check the other owner's roster out, and counter if I saw a fit. The industry does tend to get bombarded by trade questions, but I'm fine with it to a point. It never hurts to shop a player league-wide if you intend to move them. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2019-05-01 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Michael Chavis is playing a lot of 2B in Boston. The Brewers are playing Travis Shaw at 2B. Do you see this eventually changing the way you evaluate second basemen? (Brady Childs from KIN 100) | As someone enjoying this Ajax run I am ready for positionless baseball. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2018-09-10 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Michael Chavis still on PEDs? Does it matter? What's his upside, he had a great year for the time he played. (The Undertaker from Death Valley) | Lot of wrestlers in the house today. Chavis probably isn't going to play third. I think he can hit enough to be a decent 1B without being anything truly spectacular. (Darius Austin) |
| 2018-07-13 15:00:00 (link to chat) | Michael Chavis has 2 bombs since coming back already. If the power is there again, will he be thought of as similiar to before the PED suspension? (Coach Swinson from parts unkown ) | I only got a one-game look at him on rehab, but it looked like mostly the same dude for good and for ill. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2018-02-05 12:00:00 (link to chat) | I recognize this isn't a fantasy list, but bat-alone would get Michael Chavis on the top 100, wouldn't it? (Greg P. from Boston) | Ben Carsley’s Fantasy Take: It’s true that power is at less of a premium today than it was five years ago, but Chavis still has the ceiling of a decent fantasy third baseman and the floor of a passable fantasy CI. Given his proximity to the majors and (to a lesser degree) his potential future home of Fenway that makes him a borderline top-50 dynasty prospect. He does carry risk thanks to the defensive deficiencies and the injury history, though. (Top 101 with Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2017-11-03 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you think Michael Chavis will have enough bat to play at 1B or is he trade bait this offseason? He lowered his K rate in AA which is promising but he posted only .800 OPS (likely driven down by low BABIP). (Lougle from Queens) | Dombrowski prospects are always trade bait. Uncle Jack saw him in the AFL this week and liked what he saw, FWIW. And with a nod to my earlier rant, that jibes with the 2017 reports generally.

| 2017-07-19 17:00:00 (link to chat) | What's the buzz on how Michael Chavis' breakout season? (Mark from Santa Fe) | He's made himself the second-best 3B prospect in the system, but it's hard to find a better 3B prospect than Devers that's not named Yoan. He's probably become trade bait at best, since Devers' defensive improvements have made it less like that he's moved to 1B. I like Chavis, but he's probably traded soon. (Brett Cowett) |
| 2017-06-13 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Michael Chavis is the next Aaron Judge, right? (mattymatty2000 from Portland) | hahahahahahaha (Craig Goldstein) |
| 2017-05-22 23:00:00 (link to chat) | So, Michael Chavis is a confusing prospect. Can you shed any light on the offensive/defensive profile? I feel like I want to discount the breakout not just due to SSS but repeating the league. (Rob from Alaska) | Greg Goldstein's gotten a couple looks at him so far, and his very-raw-still-forming-first-impression reads thusly: "He has legit raw power and looked like he has enough bat speed to pull inside pitches over the fence. Don't think his hit tool jives with that monster average he's putting up." We'll have more on Chavis directly, I'd imagine. (Wilson Karaman) |
| 2017-04-28 13:30:00 (link to chat) | Michael Chavis seems to have started hitting in High-A (finally). Do you think he can maintain the improvements? (AJ from Canada) | I don't think he can maintain a .545 ISO or a 15% walk rate, no. Do I think he can get back on track? You bet. (Craig Goldstein) |
| 2016-01-27 19:00:00 (link to chat) | Hey Matt, prospect question. Do you have any personal favorite prospects who aren't well known heading into the season but are keeping an eye on there stock this year? (Vladimir from Russia) | Hate to disappoint, but I'm among the worst person on the staff to answer this question. My only real deep prospect knowledge is in the Red Sox system, so I can give you a couple of those. Michael Chavis was a first round pick so maybe he doesn't fit here, but he has huge raw power and I can see him jumping up in public perception if/when that starts showing itself in games. Luis Basabe was really impressive when I saw him in Lowell last year, too. Good speed profile with sneaky power for someone of his size. (Matt Collins) |
| 2015-06-22 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Rank the Greenville infielders in order of wishing they were Phillies: Michael Chavis, Rafael Devers, Mauricio Dubon, Javier Guerra, and Yoan Moncada? (I put them in alphabetical order for you to avoid any cognitive bias based on how they initially appeared) (Steve from Phila) | Love this question. I'll take Devers, Moncada, Guerra, Chavis, Dubon. I love Devers. He's got that innate bat speed and barrel feel I was talking about earlier. It's just natural and pure. Mondada is great for the obvious reasons we've talked about. I also love Guerra. He's a stud and a legit big league shortstop defensively, and he has more pop than you'd expect from his thin frame. I've seen him go out opposite field and it's impressive.
It's too bad the Red Sox have played themselves out of the need for Cole Hamels, because that's a system deep enough for the Phillies to make their demands and actually have them obliged. (Jeff Moore) |
| 2015-05-22 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I'll be in greenville tonight, anything I should keepan eye on at the game? (teddy from lexington) | For starters, check out my reports on the following players:
Rafael Devers – http://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_bat.php?reportid=217 Javier Guerra – http://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_bat.php?reportid=214 Michael Chavis – http://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_bat.php?reportid=220 Mauricio Dubon – http://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_bat.php?reportid=213 Dedgar Jimenez – http://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_pit.php?reportid=257 One thing I am specifically intrigued by is the progression of Devers at 3B. How is the footwork? Is the first step lagging and lacking the instinctual necessity for a ball down the line? Is it choppy and causing him to be out of position when he attempts to field a ball? Those were my issues when I watched him play, and could ultimately push him to 1B if there are not improvements. I'm likely on the lower end of the spectrum with his defense, but I am not alone. I've talked with scouts about his defense and the opinion has generally been split. Oh, and check out that guy Yoan Moncada. Unfortunately, I missed him by a week. (Tucker Blair) |
| 2015-04-22 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Rafael Devers and Michael Chavis: have you seen them? Who will become the better hitter?
Thanks. (CyMature from Cooperstown Retirement Home) | I will see them soon (I am hoping). If I had to answer this one, I would guess Devers. (CJ Wittmann) |
| 2015-03-29 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Does Michael Chavis have enough elite bat speed and hit tool to rocket up the prospect lists this year? (Victor from Dumfries) | He does but I haven't seen him live. Didn't hit as well his first year in pro ball but again some HS hitters need those first few months just to get used to being a pro. His first year was just weird. I really want to keep an eye on him this year. (Ryan Parker) |
| 2015-03-29 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Who do you have higher actual realizable prospects for….Michael Chavis or Michael Gettys? (Nate from Florida) | Chavis likely Gettys is making the right improvements so far.
So it's like a race, Chavis got the head start but Gettys just realized he was running with a boulder tied to his feet. (Ryan Parker) |
| 2015-01-15 18:00:00 (link to chat) | Who has most most power potential of the first round third basemen - Matt Chapman or Michael Chavis? (Robbber from Norcal) | I have more faith in Chavis getting to his raw power in game situations, and as a result I would give him the edge here. (Mark Anderson) |
| 2015-02-09 20:00:00 (link to chat) | Hey Nick who was your favorite guy from the 2014 MLB draft that did not make the list? (Mo from MN) | Touki Toussaint, Michael Chavis, Sean Reid-Foley, Jack Flaherty, Derek Fisher, Max Pentecost, Michael Kopech, Luis Ortiz, Forrest Wall. There's been a solid influx of low-minors talent. (Top 101 Chat) |
