Date	Question	Answer
2019-07-31 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Just wondering how the 2019 season has effected your view of Dansby Swanson. Needle pointing up? Do you see continued growth, a plateau, or mirage? His infield buddy, Albies, seems to have proved a few things this year. Is he going to keep getting better? Thanks! (Boz from Chicago)	I think it's been really nice to see after his struggles. I don't think there's necessarily another gear for Swanson and frankly the change in the ball makes it really difficult to grasp what changes are internal to the player and what production is the result of the external ball change. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-04-05 16:00:00 (link to chat)	How legitimate is Dansby Swanson's start? With Trea Turner going down, I've been looking for a fill-in while Turner's finger heals. (BACowett from Fayetteville)	Do you think that the wrist injury slowed him during 2018? Maybe it did, a bit. But do I expect him to be a .290 hitter in 2019 with 15/15 upside? Not really. The supporting cast is great, and you may as well play the hot start while you can. If you could flip him after a month, I'd do so because you're not going to miss out on a sudden top-10 shortstop. (Kevin Jebens)
2019-02-04 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Who to protect going into this season in a HTH keeper league, Dansby Swanson or Starlin Castro? Thanks! (Stash from Chicago)	I'd go with Swanson's upside, but it's close. (Mike Gianella)
2018-09-10 14:00:00 (link to chat)	How overlooked am I? I'm only 24 years old and have 3.2 fWAR this year. I've got a .358 wOBA and a 123 WRC+ at both third and short. I'm so much better than Dansby Swanson. I'm even a great dynasty asset! Please sing my praises. (Johan Camargo from Atlanta)	Thanks for taking time out of your day to come to a BP chat, Johan. You have been outstanding, and clearly better than Swanson. Good approach, solid power, exciting young team. Hopefully he stays underrated going into draft season! (Darius Austin)
2018-05-25 12:15:00 (link to chat)	I've heard a lot about Nick Madrigal as the top fantasy prospect in the class. But I'm finding it hard to get TOO excited about him from a fantasy angle, especially in a points league where his steals might not be quite as valuable. I kind of get a Dansby Swanson vibe with Madrigal. Am I missing the boat on Madrigal? (John from CA)	excellent hitter with gap power and plus speed. I think he is a better speed guy than Swanson but if you're in a league that doesn't value that then I guess I can see where you're coming from. I think he's a better pure hitter than Swanson was considered, though. (Craig Goldstein)
