DateQuestionAnswer
2021-02-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)In a dynasty league I am looking for starting pitching to help in ERA and WHIP; how would you rank the following for this upcoming season: Framber Valdez, Christian Javier, Jose Urquidy, Pablo Lopez. Would these rankings change any when looking long term?
(Flipai from Maryland)
Give me ALL the Pablo Lopez shares. After that, I'd have Urquidy, Framber, and Javier. (Mark Barry)
2020-01-31 13:00:00 (link to chat)Please rank as my final keeper in a 14 team 5 x 5.....Framil, Ryu, Urquidy, Wong, Odor.
(Vic from Baltimore)
Franmil Reyes & Hyun-Jin Ryu, gap, Rougned Ordor & Jose Urquidy, gap, Kolten Wong. Whether you keep Reyes or Ryu depends on the state of your other keepers and where you think value may be had during the draft. (Jesse Roche)
2019-11-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)Jose Urquidy has weird shoulders.
(Carl from San Antonio)
As long as his right one stays healthy, he should be fine. (Houston Astros Top 10 Chat)
2019-10-04 14:15:00 (link to chat)Can Logan Webb, Tony Gonsolin or Jose Urquidy be anything more than a #5?
(Stubby Clapp from St. Louis)
I'd bet on Gonsolin first here, while noting that the Dodgers are going to use him in weird ways. Urquidy next, as the Astros tend to do well with these kind of arms. Logan Webb might just be a #5. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-07-22 15:00:00 (link to chat)Fun with small sample sizes: Jose Urquidy has an 11.77 K/9, 0.69 (!!!) BB/9, 2.84 FIP and 2.65 xFIP. Again, small sample sizes, but this is exciting stuff, yeah?
(Chris from Houston)
He might be the most fascinating pop-up guy this season. It's hard to know exactly where he'll go from here because no-one really saw him coming, but he's missing bats and if there's any organization you'd trust to get the most out of him at this point, it's the Astros. (Darius Austin)
2019-07-22 15:00:00 (link to chat)Any of the following worht a flyer in deep dynasty leage:Ryan Borucki, Jose Urquidy, Rogelio Armenteros?
(beringstorm from Tacoma)
Hey, more Jose Urquidy! He's the one I'm most interested in. I think Armenteros is going to be a multi-inning/swingman type. Borucki has shown a little in the past and I think he can be reliable if he gets healthy but not exciting - the stuff just isn't there for that. (Darius Austin)
