BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2017-02-09 13:00:00 (link to chat)PECOTA has Jarrod Dyson stealing 60 bases. Do you agree?
(Kaylee from Ohio)
I don't, but only because I can't envision 572 plate appearances. I think 450 PAs and 35-40 stolen bases seems reasonable, but I do wonder if he'll get the green light quite as often in Seattle. (Patrick Dubuque)
2015-02-26 20:00:00 (link to chat)Will Billy Burns ever be an useful fantasy OF thanks to the steals? Maybe a OF4 with impact steals... Is Jarrod Dyson his floor or ceiling, and can he steal 50+ bases? Thank you!!
(Daniel from Texas)
The problem is that Burns can't hit. He's more Tony Campana than Jarrod Dyson. (Bret Sayre)
2014-10-17 12:00:00 (link to chat)Is Jarrod Dyson as funny as he seems?
(Omarion from Hardly, On., Canada)
In my experience, no ball player is ever as funny as he seems. Except maybe Brandon McCarthy. He seems legitimately funny. (Andy McCullough)
2011-04-18 13:00:00 (link to chat)Is Jarrod Dyson a player who could develop given a normal amount of time in AAA? Or is he a guy that will likely never hit enough to be a regular, who KC might as well use for whatever advantage they can get now?
(BL from Bozeman, MT)
Never more than a speedy bench guy. (Kevin Goldstein)
