2020-04-22 13:00:00 (link to chat)In a deep dynasty league, I was offered a huge package of Adell, Kelenic, Gore, Waters, Luzardo, Ronny Mauricio and Joey Bart for my Xander Bogarts. I hadn't planned on trading Bogarts but this is tempting. Should I do it?
(Scott from San Diego)
that's an easy yes for me (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)
2020-01-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)As purely a dynasty fantasy asset, Joey Bart sucks.
(Mark from Tampa)
I've been seeing a lot of dynasty prospect lists and mock drafts across my timeline recently ('tis the season I suppose), and I've come to realize that fantasy baseball is such a willful misreading of what on-field baseball value actually is that it's mostly irrelevant to my day to day job. But yeah, don't draft catchers. (San Francisco Giants Top 10 Chat)
2019-09-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)Is Joey Bart showing that he can be a Posey-type impact fantasy player or do you see him with similar pitfalls to so many other catcher prospects that have disappointed? How do you compare him to Rutschmann?
(Sean from Boston)
I have him behind Rutschman. If you are referring to fantasy I have him behind Ruiz and probably Campusano, too? He's hit better than I anticipated, admittedly, but I think the swing can get long and it's going to be mostly a power profile from behind the plate. That's still valid, but he's not the pure hitter that Posey was. He's a terrific defender though. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-09-18 13:00:00 (link to chat)Is Luis Campusano a riser for the 101 next year? Am I right to think he might be the best Dynasty Asset catcher after Adley?
(Carl from Iowa)
Certainly he's caught (no pun intended) the eye of our evaluators. I don't know if he'll land on the 101 or not, but he'll be in discussion for sure and is definitely a riser. I asked Bret Sayre who had second in terms of dynasty prospects at catcher and he said Joey Bart, who I'm not particularly into for fantasy. So, sure. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-06-05 21:00:00 (link to chat)How would you rank Rutschman relative to Joey Bart? And will Vaughn be significantly higher than Witt and Rutschman in your top 100 update? Any idea where they would slot in now? Top 25?
(jessemumm from Minneapolis)
Rutschman is far, far better of a fantasy prospect in my book than Bart and I imagine they'll be about 50 spots apart on my rankings right now. Vaughn won't be significantly higher than the other two, as they're all right around that 20-30 range for me right now. (Mr. President Bret Sayre)
2019-06-03 19:00:00 (link to chat)If Adley and Joey Bart are draft eligible the same year, who goes higher?
(Collin from Austin)
As we wait to hear whether Rutschman does get selected first... I liked Bart a lot last year but would take Adley over Bart because there are so few holes in his game. (Keanan Lamb)
2019-04-19 18:00:00 (link to chat)Should I be picking up Adley Rutschman in my dynasty league ASAP?
(Craig from CT)
There is plenty to like about this year's potential 1.1 and he would not be a bad guy to have. Being a catcher, though, leaves you with two main issues. If he is going to catch, there is a chance that slows down his charge through the minors (Joey Bart started this season in High-A). If he moves off the position, the bats gets a lot more pressure put on it. (Scott Delp)
2019-01-25 16:00:00 (link to chat)First year player draft, basically all 2018 draftees and J2 guys. First pick, who should I be targeting?
(Gary Mack from in the back)
This is better asked of the dynasty specialists, but given that there's no crazy-upside prospect in this class, I'd want a polished bat with a short time in the minors. Joey Bart, despite his being a catcher, fits that bill for me. Victor Victor Mesa could be interesting but likely not a needle-mover in any category. Nolan Gorman has more upside but probably a longer road to the bigs. (Jon Hegglund)
2018-12-12 17:00:00 (link to chat)Better pro career...Joey Bart or Adley Rutschman?
(Mr. Fister from Arlington)
somebody asked Jarrett Seider this question a few days ago and he wasn't confident enough to comment on a college bat and he has much more prospect experience than I do. As Little Nicky once said in the 2001 classic film "Little Nicky" "I'm going to take a mulligan on this one." (Mike Gianella)
2018-12-06 20:00:00 (link to chat)Would you rather have Joey Bart or Adley Rutschman in a keep forever dynasty league?
(Yusei Tomato from LA)
I don't follow college ball closely enough to answer this with great confidence. Rutschman seems like he has greater offensive upside. (Jarrett Seidler)
2018-11-29 23:00:00 (link to chat)What is your opinion of Joey Bart? Thinking of trading up to 1-1 in dynasty to take him.
(sykklone from IA)
Unless you're in a pretty deep two-catcher league the +/- for rostering minor-league catchers is just really, really shitty, regardless of who that catcher is. They have weird offensive growth trajectories, and even when they work out and turn into Buster Posey there just isn't that much separation between those elite top 2-3 guys in the league at a given time and the catcher you can draft or trade for in February. There were 3 catchers with a VORP over 30 last year, 1 over 40 (12 and 8 for 3B, for context). There were *10* catchers between 20 and 28. In 2017 there were 9-basically-10 in that range, too. That 4-14 bloc of catcher is going to be there, and you can win titles with any of 'em. All of that said, I still encourage you to trade up to 1-1 and grab a Dude, because that's just an s-m-r-t play. (Wilson Karaman)
