2020-03-27 13:00:00 (link to chat)How close to major league ready is Jordan Balazovic?
(Jim Bob Cooter from Actually a real name)		Not very close. I expect Balazovic to spend the year in Double-A with a shot at a debut in 2021. His secondaries need a lot of work, as he chiefly relied on a mid-90s fastball and solid command to cut through A-ball. His breaking ball is solid, but more average than anything above. Balazovic does a good job of manipulating its shape to give hitters different looks. His change-up, on the other hand, is still a work in progress, and likely a necessary piece of the puzzle if he wants to profile as a starter long-term. (Jesse Roche)
2019-08-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)Rank the following for dynasty purposes: Shane Baz, Jhoan Duran, Jordan Balazovic, Tarik Skubal, Edward Cabrera
(Ron from Wisconsin)		Skubal, Baz, Duran, Balazovic (Mark Barry)
2019-06-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)How would you rank these pitchers in a dynasty format? Deivi Garcia, Ryan Weathers, Griffin Canning, Grayson Rodriguez, Jordan Balazovic, and Zac Gallen... thank you!
(Nathan from Florida)		Man the Garcia talk has been extreme. I prrrobably slot him over Canning and Gallen and have it like this:

Garcia, Gallen, Canning, Weathers, Rodriguez, Balazovic (Craig Goldstein)
