DateQuestionAnswer
2018-05-25 12:15:00 (link to chat)What do you see the long term roles for Erik Swanson and Ryan Helsley who are impressing in AAA?
(Peter from Denver)		Relief for both. Not to say they can't be more (I'd bank on Helsley maintaining a SP role before Swanson, but neither is impossible) but the likelihood is relief for both, for me. (Craig Goldstein)
2016-08-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)What are some sleepers in The midwest League?
(Twin from Cali)		Here's a few... Ryan Helsley for Peoria, Ruddy Giron for Fort Wayne, Rayder Ascanio and Luiz Gohara for Clinton, Sam Hentges for Lake County and Fernery Ozuna for Kane County. (James Fisher)
