Date	Question	Answer
2013-08-27 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Thoughts on the Rays acquisition of David DeJesus? Do you believe that they'll re-up on his 6.5 MIL club option when Luke Scott's 6ish MIL contract will be soon off the books? (jlarsen from Chicago, IL)	I think they buy it out for 1.5 and he shows up in Chicago for 2.5-3.5 in 2014. (Harry Pavlidis)
2013-05-22 18:00:00 (link to chat)	How much longer do you think Matt Kemp will be recovering from this shoulder surgery? Will his power be back at all this season, or is he worth trading for someone like Jay Bruce? (Kyle from Compton)	another 6 weeks or so. That front shoulder for hitters is huge and they need it to get their power. BJ Upton suffered from it in 2009, Luke Scott did last year, and Bagwell years before that. I'd deal him for Bruce and let someone else suffer through the frustration. (Jason Collette)
2013-04-30 12:00:00 (link to chat)	I know this has been the question with the rays for the past 4 years, but why does the offense always seem to non-existent? I get annoyed at these small moves that don't do much (Luke Scott, Kelly Johnson, Cliff Floyd, Shelley Duncan, etc.) but are the only moves the team makes. (Steve from Tampa, FL)	Park factors play a role. The free-agent hitters available in their price range tend to be either: old, hurt, coming off a bad season, or all of the above. I believe that offense has still ranked within the top five or six in the AL over the past four seasons by park-adjusted numbers, too. Solid given the circumstances. (R.J. Anderson)
2012-12-28 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Which of these Scotts do you foresee being the most successful this season: Feldman, Baker, Kazmir, Luke(Luke Scott) or Hairston? Is Scott Moore still playing? Do you think the Cubs have room in AAA for him? (jlarsen from chicago)	I'm going to say not Kazmir. (Geoff Young)
2012-10-18 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hello, old friend! James Shields, Jeff Niemann, Alex Torres, Cesar Ramos, Alex Cobb, Wade Davis or Chris Archer all likely not going to remain with the team past Winter Meetings, let alone Spring Training. How do the Rays better their roster, knowing there's a huge logjam of pitching and there's room for improvement offensively. James Shields kicked it up a notch after the deadline, but can the Rays withstand another horrible 1st half from him again? (jlarsen from chicago)	I don't think Archer is going anywhere. Part of his problem was philosophical-he pitched off his slider more than he should. He seemed to solve those after getting a taste in the big leagues and realizing his fastball plays against the big boys. Otherwise, he doesn't fit the profile of someone they'd part with at this juncture in his career. I do see Tampa Bay trading pitching. If you want a name I'd say Nick Hundley. San Diego has enough catching, in the majors and in the minors, to move him for value. He'd fit nicely on Tampa Bay's roster. I don't have a good feel for what the market at first base or DH will be like (if they don't bring back Luke Scott). Logan Morrison's name might pop up if Miami is tired of him. (R.J. Anderson)
2012-04-27 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Would a prospect with Luke Scott's personal views get a mark down for make up? Or does that just relate to work ethic and such? (richardkr34 from Saint Paul, MN)	Unfortunately, Luke Scott's personal views are more common in baseball than you might think. I don't knock a player for having opinions that I disagree with, but if those beliefs are extreme enough or destructive enough to derail developmental progress, I would knock the player's makeup. I mainly focus on the effort a player puts into their career. (Jason Parks)
2010-08-17 14:45:00 (link to chat)	Why isn't Luke Scott a Giant yet? Seems like a GREAT fit. The Rangers also could use his lumber. (Edgardo from San Fran)	Because the Giants have about 16 outfielders at this point and they just got Jose Guillen. Getting Guillen seals the deal that Scott won't be on their team. I agree the Rangers could also use him, but I don't think they are exactly hurting for offense. I think Scott stays put. (Eric Seidman)
2010-08-09 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who will be the biggest name dealt during the waiver period? And the biggest failure to not trade a player? (scottdsimon from Pelham, NY)	I know the answer to one of those is "Adam Dunn." I'll say he fills the first, and I'll go with the Orioles and Luke Scott for the latter. I'm not sure we can get too crazy about the second category; any player good enough to be a "failure" was probably claimed by a team that doesn't care whether it acquires him or not. (Joe Sheehan)
2010-08-02 13:30:00 (link to chat)	The O's didn't deal Luke Scott or J. Guthrie when their value might be at their highest. On the other hand, the two possess the qualities for which they would presumably seek in return -- power (Scott) and innings gobbler (Guthrie). Without knowing the tasty (or not so) they could have had in return, please comment on the logic of holding in this situation. (Jay from Madison)	Perhaps in part to leave Buck Showalter with all of the club's better pieces still on the board, especially if there weren't any suitors making offers Andy MacPhail couldn't refuse. Change is inevitable, but giving time and direct experience with the players to a new skipper with as much experience as Showalter does in recasting a franchise doesn't seem like such a bad idea to me. If nobody was handing out primo goodies--and let's face it, if the best prospects moved at the deadline were Dan Hudson and Tim Collins, not many people were--standing pat with a pair of under-control veterans was defensible. (Christina Kahrl)
2009-07-24 16:30:00 (link to chat)	I was thinking Josh Willingham or Luke Scott. But I think they need the rotation guy more. Would Willingham help in the AL? (lemppi from Ankeny, IA)	Willingham would help anywhere. The guy isn't an all-star but he, Scott, Spilborghs are all worthy of being pursued. (Eric Seidman)
2009-05-21 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Okay, let's say the Braves are in contention around the all-star break. Who are a few corner outfielders they could target? (DKANDREWS1 from Dan (DC))	Luke Scott, Randy Winn, Adam Dunn. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-08-27 13:00:00 (link to chat)	It's not like I have work or anything... a few more Tommy Johnnies from Baseball Reference's Wiki: Roberto Alomar, Jay Buhner, Jose Guillen, JR House, Todd Hundley, Trey Lunsford, Carlos Martinez, Ray Olmedo, Luke Scott, Taylor Teagarden, Tony Womack. Are catchers are more susceptible to UCL injuries? (Gump from nyc)	No, though you'd think they would be. It seems like it's 2B for some reason. (Will Carroll)
2008-05-30 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Shawn Greene is a Jewish dude with a Catholic-sounding name, but I doubt he could get me a severed toe by this afternoon. Luke Scott might pull a gun in a bowling alley. Bob Watson might be the only one around here who cares about the rules. (I think it's Sobchak from Los Angeles)	We've got these and whole bunch of others. John Kruk, Jeff Kent, and a vote for Nelson Figueroa as Donny. (Marc Normandin)
2008-02-07 14:00:00 (link to chat)	First overall pick in 2009? Don't forget about us! If Bedard/Roberts are traded our second best hitter is Luke Scott and our fourth starter is Brian Burres. (Orioles from Baltimore, MD)	Good point. This could be like the 1979 World Series again. Only the exact opposite. (Joe Sheehan)
