BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2019-09-06 12:00:00 (link to chat)What do you make of Brent Honeywell now? Former top 15-20 prospect, who has now spent 2 years out for injury. Rays will probably slow play him, but is he still that guy?
(Jake from State Farm)		The honest answer is I have no idea, the closest recent comp to this is Taillon, but his secondary injury wasn't related to the TJ. Wheeler was more of a traditional "bad rehab." Jeremy Hefner did something similar but did blow his UCL a second time and never pitched again. That's your range of outcomes here, and it's the kind of chasm that would qualify as a ninth wonder of the world. We won't really know anything until he steps on a mound again. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-07-09 12:00:00 (link to chat)What do you do with honeywell in a dynasty league where you have 225 prospects rostered? I'm contending now and have a ton of young injuries or players limited because of recovery (Urias, Rodon, Taillon, Kopech, Puk, Reyes, Honeywell). Is it just a hold at this point?
(Pat G from Long Island)		Maaaaaaaan, I guess. Jarrett talked a bit about him in the supplemental piece on injured pitchers this morning. He name checks Jarrett Parker, who never came back from this. Believe this is similar to what ended Jeremy Hefner's career as well. That's probably enough prospects to hold for now, but the calculus on that could change soon. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
