| 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) |
| 2017-05-15 17:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you think Will Craig can be a first division 1B? Again thanks for the chat. (Accudart from VT) | I doubt it. Too many concerns about his defense that mean his bat would have to be really special. (Mike Gianella) |
| 2017-05-10 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Yes or No answer on this one... I know its not going to happen but would Dylan Cease and Candelario be enough to get Tyler Glasnow? (BC from Urbandale) | No. But this isn't a crazy idea. I say no for two reasons.
1. The Pirates love Glasnow's stuff and have confidence that he'll eventually figure out how to command it. I'm not as sure, but he's a tantalizing guy. 2. The problem with the package you're proposing is that Cease isn't ready for the majors, and if the Pirates see a window for contention, they'll need a higher-minors pitching prospect for Glasnow. Candelario is not a great fit for a team that's got both Will Craig and Ke'Bryan Hayes on the farm (both third basemen, though Craig may not stay there). (Rob Mains) |
| 2016-11-11 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What are your thoughts on Will Craig? I wasn't too excited about that pick by the Buccos. (Brandon from Urbandale) | It's not that exciting. He's a first baseman in the end, and I don't know if the swing works well enough against advanced arms to get the power to play. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
