Date	Question	Answer
2019-04-05 16:00:00 (link to chat)	How badly am I overreacting to David Robertson's start in looking at dropping him for Ryan Pressly / Taylor Rodgers / Swarzak? (First Timer from Michigan)	Seems EVERYONE is giving up the free passes early. I do think it's early, but I also think Taylor Rogers is a nice sleeper RP who could close if given the chance. Same goes for Pressly, but with Osuna there, saves are less likely than Rogers. Swarzak should get chances when he comes back given the lack of great options in Seattle, but I'm personally less high on him given the BB/9 spike in 2018. If he gets that back under control, he's most likely of the three to net 20+ saves in 2019. (Kevin Jebens)
