2019-05-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)Josiah Gray has gotten bombed in Hi A. Should I drop him for Ljay Newsome? I want guys who produce.
(Alex from Alaska)		Are you in a minor league fantasy league or something? Gray got bombed in one start out of three. Others haven't been great but they're more than fine for a guy in his first taste of the Cal League. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-04-26 16:00:00 (link to chat)Is Ljay Newsome a must add in deep dynasty leagues?
(Kelvin from Chanahon)		It depends on how many prospects you can roster. I'd take a flier on him in deeper leagues since he's just demolishing guys in his second stint at High A. Since this is his first dominant year so far, I'd like to see how he adjusts to Double A before getting too excited. (Mark Barry)
