| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2020-09-11 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What do you think of Seth Beer for fantasy? I traded his rights for Ryu to make a run this year.
I guess I figured I traded and average contributor and can find more Seth Beers. (Loria from Milwaukee) | If the DH sticks in the NL, Beer's stock rises a good amount because the whole "where will he play/can he play this position" stuff goes away. I still think that's a fair trade for you because you're right. The "I'll really regret trading Seth Beer" odds are about at 5-10% or so. It could happen, but I doubt it. (Mike Gianella) |
| 2020-01-31 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Last two keepers in a midsized 5x5 h2h dynasty league - pick from Jordan Lyles, Carlos Rodon, Alex Young, Randy Dobnak, Austin Voth. Or should I dump all the pitchers and keep Seth Beer and Leody Taveras? I'm finding myself unnaturally attracted to Dobnak.... (James from Toledo) | I would dump them all and keep Beer and Taveras. Of the arms, we are highest on Rodon, but I also like Lyles a good bit. I drafted Dobnak in P365XDL this offseason at 936th overall so that tells you what the industry thinks of him. If he wins a starting job, his leash will be very short in Minnesota and his high-contact ground-ball approach does not normally provide a ton of fantasy value, especially if he is getting hit. Of course, if you want a high-end Uber driver, he is your man! (Jesse Roche) |
| 2019-10-04 14:15:00 (link to chat) | I wish I had a cool name like Seth Beer. Maybe Luke Booze? Nick Ale? Trey Lager? (Buddy from Peoria, IL) | Just call me Jeff Frisco. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2019-09-20 11:00:00 (link to chat) | I want to avoid too many low minor prospect picks in the future. At the same time, everyone wants to pick a Pete Alonso in 2020. Any notable corner infielders (I'm set up the middle) who might get their 1st and 500th AB in 2020 and may give 60% of Pete's production? (Vic from Baltimore) | So the problem is most of those guys good enough to mention here get service time manipulated to a certain extent. So you could I suppose bet on a potential swing change dude (Aquino or Gresham), but that takes about as much speculation as your low minors dude. So the closest Alonso analog might be Seth Beer, and Ke'Bryan Hayes might be a buy low swing change option. God speed. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2019-08-16 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Assuming he is available, if you're drafting for the Orioles do you take Emerson Hancock and if not, who? (smartishpace from Club Charles) | Making Draft decisions 10 months out is how you end up drafting Seth Beer 1.1 (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2019-08-02 16:00:00 (link to chat) | Given the D'Backs' acquisition of Seth Beer, is Christian Walker worth acquiring for Eric Hosmer? Similar prices, both can be kept for '20 and '21. (GBSimons from Columbus, IN) | Have you seen the film "Columbus"? It's about your hometown! Good little film; some gorgeous compositions.
Anyway. I'm kind of a Walker skeptic. 28 year-old who started hot and has since been pretty meh (sure, power, but it's everywhere these days). I'm actually coming around to the idea that Hosmer may be a tad *under*rated in fantasy. Steady, boring, but is back to a plus average this year and fills up the R and RBI categories. I think he's a solid CI. And he'll play everyday because he's an 80-grade towel-snapping dudebro and what contending team doesn't need one of those? (Jon Hegglund) |
| 2019-07-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What are your thoughts on Seth Beer going forward with Astros? Is the bat good enough to force the playing time despite defensive limitations, and also do you think he's an attractive trade piece for other AL teams? (dzemens from Toledo) | Beer was a tough one for me in the offseason. Obviously he had a lot of track record as an amateur but I was worried about the combination of his struggles against lefties and his lack of a real defensive home. He's put to bed any concerns about lefties this season, and I don't think it's a small sample or talent issue. I've only seen video but I think he's looked more comfortable and closed some gaps that were previously exploited. I do think he's someone that can probably be pried away, but I also think Houston could find space for him at 1B/DH if needed. I don't see another superstar but I think the bat will play just fine. (Craig Goldstein) |
| 2019-07-09 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Seth Beer: is it unreasonable to expect an early(ish) 2020 debut? (Bort from Sprungfield) | It's very possible he will be ready for the majors by then, but Kyle Tucker still hasn't gotten a long term look for the 'stros, as Wink wrote about today, so I don't know what Beer can do to really force the issue. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2019-06-07 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Only have a spot for one in a dynasty. Contention window 2-3 years out. George Valera, Alek Thomas, Dylan Carlson, Jazz Chisholm, Keibert Ruiz, Daulton Varsho, Nolan Jones, Trevor Larnach, Xavier Edwards, Shane Baz, Michel Baez, Or Seth Beer. Also, I wish I had 10 more roster spots (KJ from Providence) | I'd probably go with Carlson or Larnach. Keibert is the best pure prospect here, but also might not be a huge fantasy factor. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2019-05-31 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Seth Beer closer to AJ Reed, or Pete Alonso? (Alex from Austin) | He's probably closer to Dan Vogelbach, to be honest. On one hand, that's good. Vogelbach has hit 15 homers this year. On the other hand, Vogelbach didn't get regular big-league at-bats until he was 26 because he has significant defensive limitations. Beer has similar limitations and will need the stars to align (or for the NL to move to the DH) to be an everyday guy in the big leagues. (J.P. Breen) |
| 2019-02-06 21:00:00 (link to chat) | Who are some of the top contenders to be the next favorite big beefy boy? (Quail from Man) | I am really, really rooting for Seth Beer. - BC (Dynasty 101 Chat w/ Ben Carsley and Bret Sayre) |
| 2019-02-06 21:00:00 (link to chat) | Seth Beer, Jake Burger, Owen Sharts. Name a better trio; go ahead, I'll wait. (Mike from Dover) | Well where the first two go the third usually follows. - BC (Dynasty 101 Chat w/ Ben Carsley and Bret Sayre) |
| 2018-07-24 20:00:00 (link to chat) | Who gets excess value in a dynasty league (keep forever)
Side A: Rosario (OF-Min), Dozier, McHugh
Side B: Starlin Castro, Mike Montgomery, Hirano and Seth Beer??
Fair trade? (Loria from Milwaukee) | Fair, yes. I like Side A more, though, and it's not particularly close. (Scooter Hotz) |
