Date	Question	Answer
2020-03-27 13:00:00 (link to chat)	If you could choose 3 guys outside of the fantasy top 200 who you think have the best chance of contributing like a top 50 player by the end of the year, who would you take? (Senator Ron from Whipping my caucus)	I assume you are talking redraft (and not prospects). I think certain prospects drafted 200+ could arrive and produce like a top-50 player (Adell & Gore). Others include a healthy Andrew McCutchen, Josh James, Dylan Cease, Willy Adames, Trent Grisham, and Gregory Polanco. (Jesse Roche)
2020-02-28 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who are some pitchers you're targeting in dynasty for contending teams that have a killer offense but meh staff. Im headlined by Bauer Greinke Marquez Woodruff with solid closers in a 14 tm 31 active 15 minors h2h roto. Have a ton of ammo in the minors to spend. (Chansen8895 from Salt Lake City)	Target the olds (Scherzer, Verlander, Morton, Darvish, Price, etc.). They come at an age-related discount in dynasty leagues and can provide excellent short-term production. If you want arms with more staying power (youth) absent the high cost of players like Jack Flaherty, then I like Mike Soroka, Frankie Montas, Max Fried, Zac Gallen, Julio Urias, and even Dylan Cease. (Jesse Roche)
2019-10-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	The odds of Dylan Cease and Mitch Keller becoming: a #2 / #3 / back-end guy / RP? (The Colonel from Pasadena, CA)	Oof, I don't know. Off the top of my head: Cease: 15%/40%/20%/25% Keller: 5%/35%/25%/35% I might feel differently a week from now. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-09-20 11:00:00 (link to chat)	Who would you rather have, Dylan Cease or Brusdar Graterol? Brusdar's stuff is FILTHY and he's around the plate. Cease is consistently wild but is ranked higher in most places. I get the bullpen worry for Graterol but his control is so much better than Cease. Gun to the head, but then you knock the gun from the guy's hand and point it at him and then tell him... Brusdar or Cease. (The Colonel from Pasadena, CA)	Cease was up at midseason so he didn't get ranked, and Brusdar had the arm issue around then, but we only had them seven spots apart coming into the season, and I imagine that minor gap is more or less the same now. I have concerns about Cease's command long term, but he's flashed enough that boy if he ever does figure it out. And if not, he'd be as good a reliever as Graterol, who again, hasn't thrown over 102 innings in a season yet and has an elbow scar. It's huge variance on both, but for some reason the command stuff worries me slightly less than the durability stuff in this case. Maybe it's a "White Sox usually figure these guys out" thing. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-07-19 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Dylan Cease appears to have excellent stuff, but how likely is is that his command will improve enough to realize his potential? (JP from Green Bay)	That has always been the question with Cease. I'd like to see the White Sox just commit to him for the rest of the season and let him work things out in the majors. He's not as young as you think (then again we have been talking about him forever) and it's not like Chicago can't open up a slot in the rotation. I'd bet on him figuring it out, but there's always been significant reliever risk in the profile. He could be a monster late-inning arm though, and that would be fine too. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
