2019-10-30 16:00:00 (link to chat) | Hi Craig, I'm still not talking to you, but what *realistically* would be an acceptable Lindor trade package? I'm fully prepared for it to be more underwhelming than it should be.
To steal from a wildly successful and rollicking podcast, Thanks, I Hate It. (Mark from The Bad Place) | Okay, so this is picking up on a rumor that Jon Morosi was peddling that may or may not be related to what I wrote in my Dodgers 2020 Hindsight piece. Morosi, stop stealing my bits for news! Anyway, the Dodgers are interested in Lindor and I think there are two ways for Cleveland to go about it from them. One involves Corey Seager as a centerpiece. What he gives you now is the same two years of team control as Lindor, a lower ceiling (but not THAT much, he was a 5+ win player in recent memory), and lower overall cost than Lindor. I think you fill that out with maybe one other significant prospect -- Keibert Ruiz might make some sense with the ascendance of Will Smith and Ruiz's down-ish year, plus maybe a DJ Peters type? Maybe a flier like Gerardo Carrillo (one of my fav arms in that system).
If you're not going with Seager I think you look to start with May or Lux and go from there. I don't know that you get 2/3 of them and Ruiz, but you might be able to pry Jeter Downs as a future shortstop type if you're not getting Lux. The Dodgers haven't tended to part with guys that are part of the current team so I don't know if May/Lux is feasible, but you could also chase an Alex Verdugo, potentially since the team is deep in outfielders. Could also work a throw in like an Edwin Rios, who flashed briefly. Rios types aren't major additions to the deal but he's ready now-ish and could contribute as a DH/1B type. (Craig Goldstein) |
2019-10-23 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Who are a couple guys who you think would be impacted more than most if they go back to the old baseball? (Quincy from Ames) | There are two profiles that I think get significantly impacted. The type that put a ton of balls in the air without legitimate plus power -- or with enough swing and miss that not converting some of those makes a big difference. Renato Nunez might be a good example of the latter. The second type would be the high-contact guys that experience power surges despite less than ideal pop in the profile. Someone like Alex Verdugo who hits a ton of line drives, some of which turned into homers because of the ball. (Craig Goldstein) |
2019-07-11 23:00:00 (link to chat) | What have your thoughts been on Alex Verdugo’s first full season up? Is there more power there? (Craig from Chicago ) | I'm a longtime fan and have been of the opinion for some time that more power will show up eventually, yes. He doesn't need it to produce well above-average offensive value, but the peak's gonna include some above-average HR seasons.

2019-05-31 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Alex Verdugo a set and forget OF 3 in a 16 team dynasty or do I need to tread lighter? (Teddy from Illinois) | He's a set-and-forget guy for me, especially because it's difficult to find high-average hitters in today's game. Even considering the fact that we're dealing with small sample sizes, there are fewer than 30 qualified hitters in Major League Baseball who have a .300 batting average. Verdugo also benefits from playing in a high-octane offense. We'll see if the power develops, but he does have a .199 ISO, which is promising. (J.P. Breen) |
2019-05-22 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Could you please wax poetic about Alex Verdugo? He should be an every day player even when everyone is healthy, right? Thanks for doing these weekly chats! (Flipai from Maryland) | Verdugo has been really good thus far, and obviously is doing some really interesting things, which I wrote about. Assuming the ball stays as it is, he could put up some really good numbers due to how much he makes contact while still retaining power. The Dodgers are so deep, I don't think he ends up an everyday guy, especially since it seems they're concerned about being lefty-heavy in the lineup. (Craig Goldstein) |
2019-05-15 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Craig, I heard you wrote a very nice article on Alex Verdugo.Can you give me the link. I would like to read it. Also what kind of hitter do you think he is going to be long term? (BaseballNUT2009 from Santa Ana) | Thanks for asking. You can find that article here. I think it depends a decent bit on the ball. I'm not going to predict 30 homer power despite his strength and bat speed even now, but something in the low-20s with a bunch of doubles seems right. (Craig Goldstein) |
2017-11-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Bat only, could you rank Anthony Alford, Alex Verdugo and Austin Hays, all intriguing, young OFs. (Duke of New York from Manhattan) | This is pretty close for me. If Verdugo can even find 10-15 home run pop it's probably him. Hays probably has the highest upside, but lowest floor. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
2017-10-24 20:00:00 (link to chat) | It's so hot.
Prospects, what can you tell us about Alex Verdugo and Walker Buehler? (Cole Whittier from Pasadena, CA) | They're both top 25 global type guys, and they're both very close to ready. Verdugo could be a tremendous defender who also hits for average, Buehler has some of the best stuff of anyone around but significant health/durability questions. I'd expect both to be in the mix for full-time gigs by next summer. -- Jarrett (World Series Chat) |
2017-07-06 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Over under 1.5 guys from today's list being traded in the next month? (Bwe206 from Myspace.com) | We had a long discussion at the Camden Yards event about the highest prospect likely to get dealt. I think we came up with Triston McKenzie. Alex Verdugo might be the better answer, although the Dodgers sound inclined to hold onto him. I guess never bet against Dombrowksi going nuts, but I'm gonna take the under. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
2017-06-27 20:00:00 (link to chat) | Two part question and thanks for doing the live chat!
First, what's a way to evaluate minor league numbers? I see a guy like Willy Adames put up a mediocre BA but some put him developmentally ahead of Gleyber Torres at his age. How can we read beyond scouting reports and box scores to see the real talent?
Second, do guys like Ryan McMahon or Alex Verdugo have a shot of getting a permanent callup this season? (tbdubbs from New York) | Adames hasn't been ahead of Gleyber Torres for some time. Torres has way more hitting potential, but it's not something that's necessarily obvious from a triple-slash; it's more to due with raw power and bat speed. The best way to tell is, of course, making it out to games and watching a lot of baseball. Secondarily, talk to as many people as you can who know the players and know the game.
McMahon and Verdugo could both be up at any time. Both those teams are contending and don't have an immediate organizational need, so it depends on injuries and the like. (Jarrett Seidler) |
2017-05-02 13:00:00 (link to chat) | who do you think is the best fantasy prospect that is not considered a good real life prospect? (kjesanis from Worcester) | It was Dan Vogelbach for awhile. Might be Rowdy Tellez right now. Alex Verdugo & Raimel Tapia also come to mind. (George Bissell) |
2017-01-06 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Could you give a % chance that Alex Verdugo and Bellinger become everyday players in majors?
Not reaching full potential, but just normal big leaguer 400+ ABs (HB from LA) | I think it's reasonably high for both. Verdugo maybe 50%, Bellinger closer to 80%. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
2016-01-21 19:00:00 (link to chat) | From Russia with a question regarding prospects George. Was curious if you had any low minor prospects that maybe aren’t making many Top 10 lists or Top 100 that you are paying close attention to this upcoming season? Any personal favorites of yours you’re looking to say when it’s this time next year “told you to watch out for this player in 2016”? (Vladimir from Russia) | I really do have an affinity for Victor Robles. He's unreal. Alex Verdugo is another guy I like. Both outfielders. (George Bissell) |
2015-11-18 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Chris - what are the ceilings for Dodgers outfield prospect Alex Verdugo and first baseman Cody Bellinger. Either make the Top 101 list? Bother performed very well in High-A. (sbnbaseball from NJ) | I think Verdugo can be an average starter in a corning outfielder, and Bellinger an above-average first baseman. I don't think either makes the top 101, but it's early in discussions there. (Christopher Crawford) |
2015-12-11 13:00:00 (link to chat) | were you able to see Alex Verdugo? what were your thoughts? (JoeRandom from San Jose) | I only caught Verdugo for a few games, but liked what I saw. One of those rhythmic/momentum-generated swings I have a soft spot for. Can be a solid across-the-board type player. Wrote up a Ten Pack on him here, and I'd imagine I'll get a bunch more looks at him next spring assuming he starts back at Rancho: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=27355 (Wilson Karaman) |
2015-07-23 17:00:00 (link to chat) | long term, Alex Verdugo or Derek Fisher? (Ike from Omaha) | Fisher for me. (Mike Gianella) |
2015-07-23 17:00:00 (link to chat) | I know no likes to give out comps, but is there one that sticks out for Alex Verdugo? He appears to be figuring things out, and I was curious to what potential his tools may have. Thanks (ike from o) | The Joc Pederson comp is the one that has been rolled out there, and if the development continues apace, that makes sense. (Mike Gianella) |
2015-07-23 17:00:00 (link to chat) | looking into your crystal ball, could you rank the following outfielders for me. Braxton Davidson, Derek Fisher, Harold Ramirez, Alex Verdugo and Michael Reed (though he's fallen off quite a bit recently). (fred from C-Falls) | Fisher, Verdugo, Ramirez, Davidson, and Reed. (Mike Gianella) |
2015-01-09 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Which NL West 2014 Draft bat has the best fantasy baseball impact? Forrest Wall, Michael Gettys, Alex Verdugo, or Marcus Wilson? (tlw08 from The Great White North) | Gettys is the biggest upside. Wall is the safest bet. Verdugo needs to be run through the full season gauntlet, because it's been a Jekyl & Hyde act over the last 18 months and we don't really know what we have here, yet. Wilson has five-tool potential, but is a slow developmental burn. (NL West Top 10s With Nick Faleris) |
2014-11-04 18:00:00 (link to chat) | What did you think of the Dodgers 1st two picks Grant Holmes and Alex Verdugo? (Mike from Utica) | I don't have a lot of experience with Verdugo, so I'm not the best to ask there, but I love Holmes. I saw him quite a bit at the prep ranks and I love the profile and think he's pretty easily a mid-rotation starter and possibly as strong as a #2 type. (Mark Anderson) |
