Date	Question	Answer
2020-01-31 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who are your favorite young catchers after Rutschman for dynasty purposes? (Jordan from Milwaukee)	I could just point to our Top 101 and our Top 40 catchers, but where is the fun in that? After Rutschman, my rankings are: 2. Joey Bart 3. Daulton Varsho 4. Sean Murphy 5. Luis Campusano 6. Francisco Alvarez 7. Keibert Ruiz 8. Zack Collins 9. Diego Cartaya 10. Tyler Stephenson 11. Ivan Herrera 12. Miguel Amaya 13. Sam Huff 14. Andrew Knizner 15. Ryan Jeffers 16. William Contreras 17. Alejandro Kirk 18. Gabriel Moreno 19. Ronaldo Hernandez 20. Cal Raleigh 21. Bo Naylor 22. Mario Feliciano 23. Shea Langeliers 24. Connor Wong 25. Korey Lee (Jesse Roche)
2019-01-23 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Zack Collins was a top-90 prospect for BP entering last year, and put up a very solid .380+ OBP in AA. Why the snub this year? When do you forecast he makes the show and what kind of forecast do you see for him? (Jonathan from LA)	Less confidence in his ability to stick as a catcher basically. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2018-06-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)	How would you assess Zack Collins' year so far? (Tom from IL)	More or less holding serve (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2018-01-11 13:00:00 (link to chat)	I have 9 prospects on my dynasty roster and need to get it down to 5. My back end guys are Jack Flaherty, Chance Sisco, Jorge Mateo, Jose DeLeon, Yohander Mendez, and Zack Collins. Which two do I keep? Which ones might have the best trade value in a deep dynasty league? (edwar288 from Minneapolis)	Mateo is the obvious one from a fantasy standpoint. After that you have three arms without a clear out pitch, and two catchers that might not stick. I'd probably take Flaherty just based on floor, but I don't feel good about it. If you are short catching, hold on to Sisco. I don't feel good about that either. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2017-07-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you think Zack Collins sticks behind the plate? (kjesanis from Maine)	Catchers are weird. The organization did succeed in turning Flowers from a butcher to a plus defender back there, and they may have gotten Kevan Smith from terrible to adequate as well. The White Sox' scouting director, Nick Hostetler, feels very strongly about his ability to stick back there, and Collins has had great results throwing out baserunners. One last thing working in his favor is his work ethic, as he seems just as determined as the White Sox in staying back there. I think we'll know a lot more when he gets promoted to a level where we can track FRAA, but I'm more optimistic than I was when he was drafted, and think there's a decent shot he can hang there. (Nick Schaefer)
