2020-09-30 13:00:00 (link to chat)Hi Craig, A lot of Cs debuted this season that have the potential to be at least average-everyday catchers. Any changes +/- from last seasons' write-ups that you saw from their major-league time for Tyler Stephenson, Keibert Ruiz, Ryan Jeffers, William Contreras, Sam Huff, Alejandro Kirk, Luis Campusano?
(The Colonel from Pasadena, CA)		Great Q. I like Stephenson more than I did before. Jeffers impressed but I don't think I'd roll with him for 130+ (and the Twins don't need to). Keibert, no change. Contreras no real change. I didn't get to see much Huff. I've been low on Kirk. I think he can really hit but idk that he's a regular backstop. Campusano is still the class of the position as a prospect. (Craig Goldstein)
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)
2019-05-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)Any deep prospects who you've picked up in leagues or just interest in this year?
(Sal from Philly)		I snagged Sam Huff and Ivan Herrera in TDGX, and Jonathan Ornelas, Abraham Toro-Hernandez and Jarren Duran in my AL-Only league. It's a 300-deep prospect universe on the AL-Only side. Terrin Vavra in my NL (same depth). I had Mariel Bautista last year but I think he is in the same vein. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-05-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)Do you think the present craziness of Sam Huff is real? He is also very large for a catcher.
(A rubber goose from Toronto)		I think he can legitimately hit and the arm and accuracy are big helpers, but yeah the body behind the plate is going to be something to watch. (Craig Goldstein)
