DateQuestionAnswer
2020-09-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)Hi Jesse! Love the rankings! I was wondering who the biggest risers and fallers where? Also is Luis Robert keeps this up for the rest of the season how high do you think he could rank?
(Alex from Texas)		I will list the risers/fallers in my upcoming article, but here is a sneak peak:

Risers: Kyle Lewis (+214), Anthony Santander (+170), Corbin Burnes (+135), Dominic Smith (+135)
Fallers: Kirby Yates (-260), Oscar Mercada (-250), Mallex Smith (-150), Tommy Pham (-125)

Plus, several players jumped from off to way up the rankings including Triston McKenzie (319) and Jake Cronenworth (354).

As for Robert, he could climb into the top 15 by season end if he continues to rake. (Jesse Roche)
2020-02-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)Standard 5x5 roto, please rank the following: Tommy Pham, Marcell Ozuna, Paul Goldschmidt, Josh Bell, Ketel Marte
(Craig from Chicaho)		(1) Marte, (2) Bell, (3) Goldschmidt, (4) Pham & (5) Ozuna (Jesse Roche)
2020-01-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)Thoughts on Tommy Pham as he heads into new league/team?
(Craig from Chicago)		The context doesn't change much for me. I expect him to be a solid, high-OBP guy and show some power/speed. I like the fit for the Padres, for sure. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-05-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)Is Hunter Dozier a fantasy star?
(Kenneth from Lenny'sville)		Man, it sure looks like it. I don't remember where I heard it, but it feels reminiscent of the Tommy Pham breakout where all of a sudden you just have a dude with elite plate skills that finally gets a chance. I don't think Dozier leads the league in hitting at season's end, but he's real. (Mark Barry)
2019-05-31 13:00:00 (link to chat)What is the upside of Dylan Carlson? What is his best possible outcome?
(cracker73 from Florida)		He'll need to show more power before dynasty owners should get too excited, but I could see a Gregory Polanco, circa 2018, season as a reasonable upside shout. Polanco hit .254/.340/.499 with 23 homers and 12 stolen bases last season. If Carlson can hit .275 or higher, we're talking Tommy Pham type production. Pham was a top-75 player overall in 2018, so the best-possible outcome is very good. (J.P. Breen)
2019-03-04 16:00:00 (link to chat)Tommy Pham yes or Tommy Pham no?
(Worm from Down)		Fortunately, he won't hear a ton of boos when he first appears at home because..well...he did have a point. He fits the Rays' approach and should be a big part of their offense in 2019. I'll be looking to add him to my teams at the right price. (Scott Delp)
2018-12-06 20:00:00 (link to chat)Tommy Pham was simply gangbusters last September. Do you see his performance carrying into 2019 to the point where we will eventually call the Rays' future stadium The House That Pham Built?
(Cornelius Blacksmith from Long Ago)		As if there's any chance that they'd keep a player that long. (Jarrett Seidler)
2018-02-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)I am feeling quite emotional (in a good way) about Tommy Pham's prospects for this upcoming season. Please let me know your prediction about his performance for 2018. Thank you so much!
(Jason Weiner from Sharon (MA))		He's not without risk (see 2nd half BABIP, and GB tilt), but there are few guys who can go 20/20 right now, and he's one of them. Just don't buy expecting a full 2017 repeat in BA. Right now he's higher risk than many similar bats simply because we need to see him do it again. (Kevin Jebens)
2018-02-13 20:00:00 (link to chat)What type of season can we expect from Tommy Pham? Can he come close to repeating 2017 production?
(Chad from OKC)		great swing and contact rates, works really hard on his approach, most of his limits were due to injury. I think he'll come close to doing what he did in 2017 and I'll be fairly aggressive on him in most of my drafts. (Mike Gianella)
