Date	Question	Answer
2015-01-20 19:30:00 (link to chat)	In your old age, how many beers could you consume in one sitting if you really put your mind to it? (Hoodie from Next Door)	Man, I don't know. I assume this comes from the Wade Boggs story? Now that I'm old and 25, heroic acts of drinking become less and less appealing to me as I must deal with the consequences the next day. I like to think I'm too mature to try this now, but given that I wasn't mature enough to skip this question ... if "one sitting" equals, like, six hours, let's go 24. I'm not the man I used to be. (Ben Carsley)
2014-12-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you see Joe Mauer ever being an All-star again? (John from Chicago)	Man, I hope so. I'll be honest, I didn't see a lot of the Twins last season, but when I do watch him, the swing just makes me giddy. So simple and just reminds me of the pure hitters I grew up watching (Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn). If he can just stay healthy, I believe he has an AS level still in him, but staying healthy just doesn't seem too easy for him, does it? (Sahadev Sharma)
2010-08-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who are you "buying" for 2011 based on disappointing 2010s? Lincecum, Braun, Prince, Mauer... Obviously, "disappointing" is relative. (adfeit from NY)	Lincecum has some oddities going on--high BABIP against, which is a point in his favor, but he's also faced some of the weakest lineups in the league via quality of opponent OPS, and has allowed an OPS a few points above that. So I can see him being the same next year, which is still pretty great, but people shouldn't be drafting him in the first round (not that they should have been this year either, he does pitch). Braun's big issue is production against lefties--given he's right-handed, I don't see that lasting. I'll take a deeper look at some point, but that's the kind of "anything can happen in 129 at-bats) answer. Mauer has already redeemed himself. He's hitting .329/.406/.482 now. Expecting him to hit anywhere near 28 homers again was a dream--Mauer reminds me a lot of Wade Boggs, who also had one big homer season, but was mostly a doubles/OBP guy with a high batting average. Prince Fielder sure is up and down with his ISO, huh? .213, .330, .231, .303, .211 in his last five seasons. (Marc Normandin)
2010-02-18 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Is Wade Boggs a good comp for Ackley aside from position? (Tex Premium Lager from NJ)	I said consistent .300+ for Ackley. Not consistent .350+. I can't think of every being in a position to project a guy as a consistent .350 guy. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-07-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)	so ryan howard is the fastest ever to 200 hr. but he's also 29. is it really a surprise that a great power hitter who basically started playing in his prime is also way faster to 200 than anyone in history? (amr2002 from philly)	This answer is kind of a punt, because I don't know if I can address it intelligently on the fly, but the question itself is interesting. And suppose Howard had come up a year or two earlier -- would he have proven himself ready? What about someone like Wade Boggs? (David Laurila)

2008-10-10 13:30:00	Friday LCS	Given how everyone is now bending over backwards to put Rice into the HOF maybe I shouldn't say this, but the GDPs are the one bum rap he got -- hitting behind Wade Boggs and Dwight Evans, or Boggs and Marty Barrett, even Vince Coleman would have hit into a bunch of double plays. There were only a couple of years in Rice's career in which his rate led the league. (Steven Goldman)
