Date	Question	Answer
2019-06-28 13:00:00 (link to chat)	In an NL-only league that scores OBP and SLG instead of AVG, is it time to cut bait on Yadier Molina and Buster Posey in favor of waiver guys like Kurt Suzuki, Tyler Flowers, or Brian McCann? (Tynan from Tacoma, WA)	I'm facing a similar Posey question in a couple of leagues. I know injuries are involved, neither have really hit for any power. In the OBP/SLG format, especially in redraft, I'm cool with moving on, as crazy as that feels to say. (Mark Barry)
2018-11-29 23:00:00 (link to chat)	Is framing really worth much? If so, why are great pitch framers like Tyler Flowers signing for so little? (randplaty from SD)	Yes, flipping balls to strikes and ensuring marginal strikes are properly called significantly advantages pitchers within at-bats, and cumulatively adds a whole bunch of value to a team's likelihood of winning games over the long course of a season. Ben, as always, for a riveting testimonial: https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2018/9/21/17885820/pitch-framing-strike-zone-jorge-alfaro-tyler-flowers (Wilson Karaman)
2015-10-22 14:00:00 (link to chat)	What should the White Sox do this offseason? We have 3 good starting pitchers, Jose Abreu, and mostly junk beyond those guys. We cant' possibly go into 2016 with Avisail Garcia and Tyler Flowers in a starting role again....right? (Ziggy from South Sider)	I actually have already written a piece, though it won't run until after the season, advocating that the Sox blow it up and use Sale, Abreu, and Quintana to reload fast and brilliantly. The core is good, but way too small, and there's way too little around it. (Matthew Trueblood)
2013-02-14 13:00:00 (link to chat)	2 Catcher league. Trying to talk myself into gambling trading for Tyler Flowers as my #2 as he's only $2 in $260, 5x5 OBP format league. What kind of value do you see Flowers having in '13? Thanks... (Jim from PT Conferences)	I don't LOVE him, but for $2 as your #2, it's not bad. It really depends what you're giving. He should earn the $2, but maybe not too much more. (Paul Sporer)
2012-05-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Name a handful of current bench players you see carving out a role and producing fantasy worthy numbers? (Ridin'thepine from Splintersville)	Obviously things would have to break right for each of these guys, but here goes: Jeff Keppinger, Kosuke Fukudome, Brent Lillibridge, Tyler Flowers, Johnny Giavotella, Dave Ross, Juan Francisco, Tyler Moore, Adrian Cardenas, Chris Snyder, Allen Craig, Wilin Rosario, Nate Schierholtz (Derek Carty)

2009-06-09 14:30:00	2009 Draft Coverage	Phegley and Davis were guys we thought we dropping, not going up draft boards. I like the Davis pick better, as he offers a little more upside. I know we advocate drafting best player available first and foremost: but with Tyler Flowers in the system, is Phegley necessary? I guess if you have two bad defensive catchers you just hope that one ends up staying at the position? (Bryan Smith)
