DateQuestionAnswer
2019-05-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)Is A.J. Minter poison the rest of the way? I’m desperate for saves, but the ratios are so bad...
(tallahassee from Chatham, NJ)		Luke Jackson has gotten the last two save chances, so I think your concerns are shared in Atlanta. I'm not sure he's ever going to be a WHIP guy, and I wouldn't be shocked if the Braves aren't in play for Kimbrel. I'd be ok with moving on. (Mark Barry)
2018-02-28 20:00:00 (link to chat)A.J. Minter a closer in waiting?
(Keith from Oakland)		YES. I love him and if you're in a 15-tm roto league, I highly advise snagging him. He's filthy. Has TJ in his history so Braves won't overuse, but still should be useful. (Eddy Almaguer)
