DateQuestionAnswer
2019-07-09 12:00:00 (link to chat)When looking for lotto-ticket upside, whom of the following would you say is *least* likely to deliver that return: Will Craig, Yadier Alvarez, Akil Badoo, Lewis Thorpe, Josh Green, Gilberto Celestino or Steve Jennings?
(traindoggah from Maine)		What an interesting hodge podge. Alvarez has been a mess for long enough we are at the point where his 75th percentile outcome might not even be a major leaguer, yet you could still argue he has more upside than like Will Craig. Nevertheless, I'd still probably be okay cutting him out of that group. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2018-07-13 15:00:00 (link to chat)Can Gilberto Celestino be a top 50 guy in a couple years?
(Chet from H-Town)		Decent chance, sure. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
