2020-03-06 13:00:00 (link to chat)What are we supposed to do with Brad Keller in a 16 team dynasty league, 28mlb, 24milb? Seems like industry is vaguely hopeful. Obvi not much on the wire, but guys will pop up, like Houser last year or Keegan Akin maybe this year. Thanks!
(whiskeyblood78 from NYC)		Keller is fine. He is a sinker/slider specialist who generates tons of grounders and few whiffs. I would expect him to continue to outperform metrics like FIP/xFIP since he strikes few hitters out, walks plenty, and consistently has sub-.300 BABIP. The guy pitches to contact and generates a bunch of weak grounders. Plus, he has a solid middle infield behind him (Mondesi/Lopez). Keller should not hurt you much, but he also will not win you any leagues. Serviceable backend roster guy for innings in a pinch. (Jesse Roche)
2016-09-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)What are your thoughts on Eric Lauer? Was he a big name out of High School? How do college guys at non major conference schools stand out and show they're worth a compensation pick?
(Thadeous from Ft Wayne)		I have a scouting report on Eric Lauer here – http://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_pit.php?reportid=460 and a match up with Keegan Akin here - http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=29436

He wasn't a "big name" but the Blue Jays did draft him in the 17th round in 2013. He went to Kent State to work with pitching coach Mike Birkbeck and it obviously worked out. For a pitcher in the MAC – which is a D1 conference but obviously not the SEC, it is more difficult to gain traction but when you are a lefty throwing in the 90s, with multiple secondary offerings and an easy delivery scouts will find you. Lauer had lots of attention going into the season as *the guy* in the MAC after a successful sophomore year. (Midwest League Wrap Up)
