2017-03-09 20:00:00 (link to chat)Last keeper in a NL league. A Cabrera, Ju Chacin or J Harrison. Have starters in front of Harrison and Cabrera and Chacin would be 5th starter.
(sportsguy21792 from Madison, WI)		Great news, you're asking people who have drafted Jhoulys Chacin to be their actual 5th starter! This is not a hypothetical situation for us. We do like Chacin some, mainly because he'd have to be horrendous to be replaced, and Scoresheet replacement level is a lot lower than it is in real life. If you're in a league format where innings can be hard to come by, I'd suggest keeping Chacin, otherwise, we'd probably just lean towards the always underrated Asdrubal Cabrera and shoring up middle infield.

(DanDaMan from SeaCliff)		Hmm, let's say Mike Napoli, Angel Pagan, Jhoulys Chacin, Julio Teheran, and Shaun Marcum (Tommy Bennett)
2010-09-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)Who do you think will pull ahead in the NL west? Seems like The Giants have an edge, considering they end the season at home against SD. Or will that series just determine how far back in 3rd SD will finish? As for covers of Springsteen, you can't go wrong with Bowie's cover of "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City" circa Station to Station.
(Nick Stone from New York City)		Hey Nick! Excellent call on the Bowie "Saint" version. As for the NL West, I don't see how any of these teams can possibly win, to borrow a phrase about the 1944 World Series between the Cardinals and the Browns. All three teams are flawed, but I do think the Rockies are suddenly looking like they might squeeze in there; the return of Jorge de la Rosa and the emergence of Jhoulys Chacin have given their rotation a needed boost at a crucial time. That said, the Giants do have the easier schedule the rest of the way including that final series of the year. (Jay Jaffe)
2010-01-26 14:00:00 (link to chat)Who has more of an impact in 2010, Jhoulys Chacin or Tim Alderson?
(Ace from Aceland)		Woo, tough question. I think both need more seasoning, but Alderson has kept his walks under control a little better. I'll go with him despite the shorter track record. (Tommy Bennett)
2009-05-07 14:00:00 (link to chat)Any reports on Jhoulys Chacin so far this season? He hasn't been nearly as impressive (so far) this year as he was last and you had mentioned that he was a "bunch of 6's"
(Norman from CO)		He's fine. Overall numbers are solid. He's made four good starts and got hit hard once. I'm fine. (Kevin Goldstein)
