Date	Question	Answer
2020-09-25 16:00:00 (link to chat)	In a 14 team weekly h2h dynasty points league which of these players would you roster going into next season for a club well-positioned to win now and going forward - Nate Lowe, Hunter Dozier, Randy Arozarena and Jake Cronenworth are all currently on my roster. Available are Hampson, A Riley, McMahon, Jesus Aguilar, Jared Walsh, Brendan Rodgers, Willie Calhoun and Leody Taveras. I am also currently rostering Oneil Cruz and wondering if I should hold on a bit longer given his uncertain legal status. My current prospects include Vaughn Brujan Cruz and KRobInson. Prospects still available include Alek Thomas Brennen Davis Jordan Groshans and Corbin Carroll. Thanks for considering the question, Dylan (dylanrox from Philly)	Some very enticing options there. For the MLBers, I really like Calhoun and Taveras--they'll be on a bad Texas team next year, but they should be centerpieces in that lineup. I would get in on Riley; the power upside is worthwhile even if the average will kind of suck. And I'd get in on Rodgers as well--we just haven't seen a healthy version of him for an extended run in the majors. Hampson and McMahon haven't really wowed, even with the Coors advantage, Walsh feels a bit flash-in-the-pan (but I'm prepared to be wrong there!), and Aguilar could be OK for a couple more years, but his skills should be easy enough to find. Of the prospects, I am heavy into Carroll, though I like all those names. I'd probably wait on Cruz's situation for a few weeks before cutting, but it isn't looking good right now. (Jon Hegglund)
2020-04-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Jesse, I am looking to fill the last 2 roster spots on my dynasty team with current MLB players at any position with potential for 2021 and beyond given that there may not be any baseball in 2020. I am considering the following players: Sam Hilliard, Travis Shaw, Lewis Brinson, Stephen Piscotty, Jose Peraza, Manuel Margot, Teoscar Hernandez, Rowdy Tellez, Jesus Aguilar, Brandon Belt. Who would you go with? Thanks! (Jay from CT)	Sam Hilliard and Travis Shaw. Note, Daniel Murphy likely is a free agent after the 2020 season ($12 mil mutual option in 2021 will most certainly not be exercised) so there should be one less obstacle to playing time for Hilliard next year (meaning McMahon to 1B and Hampson from UT/CF to 2B). (Jesse Roche)
2019-07-31 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Jesus Aguilar is now a Ray. Nate Lowe better no be going back down.... (Matt from Boston)	We'll see. It seems like a fair deal for both teams. A worthwhile gamble for Tampa to get a guy back o track who can impact their lineup for a guy in Faria who it seemed like they'd soured on. Milwaukee gets another multi-inning/outgetter type arm for their pen. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-07-22 15:00:00 (link to chat)	Can Jesus Aguilar bounce back? His batted ball data (e.g. Hard Hit%, FB%) and plate discipline look encouraging (and better than E5, yet the results (and playing time arent there). Move on to E5, despite the warning signs in his peripherals? (AJ from Boston)	I think he's much better than his overall line but the issue now is the platoon with Thames. Thames has cooled off recently, so maybe Aguilar can work his way back into full time, but I think it's more likely that the Brewers continue to split that time and there isn't anywhere else he can play. Encarnacion's skills always seem to be eroding to me right before he comes out and has one of those 12-homer months. He's in arguably the best lineup in baseball and doesn't even need to hit all that well to return a ton more value than Aguilar right now. (Darius Austin)
2019-05-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Does Jesus Aguilar keep the starting Brewers 1B job for the season? What are you projecting from him? (Andrew from Jersey)	I'm not sure he has sole custody of the job right now. Eric Thames has been getting a bulk of starts there against righties, so Aguilar is going to need to keep hitting if he wants to keep playing. (Mark Barry)
2019-05-13 16:00:00 (link to chat)	With Travis Shaw playing so badly over a quarter of the season now, why is Keston Hiura not up? Is it Hiura’s defense? Faith/hope that Shaw will rebound? What gives here? (Buff from Colorado)	I just checked Hiura's stats and ... well, holy shit. He's at .333/.406/.706 with 11 homers and 12 doubles in 36 games at Triple-A as a 22-year-old. I realize the juiced MLB ball has now inflated Triple-A power numbers to an extreme degree too, but that's an example of an elite prospect banging down the door to the majors. Travis Shaw is struggling, like you mentioned. So is Jesus Aguilar at first base. My guess is that the Brewers will give them another month or so to get right, considering how valuable they've both been in the past, but I do think Hiura is going to get a chance soon-ish, perhaps in a part-time role initially. Milwaukee's defensive versatility could give them some good mix-and-match opportunities with him in the fold and, while I think calling up a top prospect for a non-everyday role is generally a bad idea, a team in the thick of the playoff race doing so makes more sense. (Aaron Gleeman)
2019-05-01 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Seeing what you've seen, where would you retroactively put Pete on the 101? (he's still prospect eligible) (Frank the Tank from -)	So there are two weights to counterbalance here. 1. I don't do monthly lists update 2. Doing it in the majors and it looking right has value It's looked right for sure, but I think he settles in at like .270/.350/.570. That's like a bit better than 2018 Jesus Aguilar? A very nice player but not a star. The surety bumps him some I guess, but not like to the top 10 or anything. I'm guessing Jarrett would have him uh, at least top ten based on our Rhys Hoskins conversations in the past. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-02-18 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Jesus Aguilar @ $25+ or a $1 flier on Voigt? (Scatman from KCK)	I'm a big fan of Aguilar and think he can come close to a repeat. That said, MIL may have a crowded infield with the Moose signing. Of course, there are TONS of dollar catchers out there. You may as well go for someone who can provide fantasy value. Unless you really want to save cash for the auction, go Aguilar. (Kevin Jebens)
2018-12-06 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Jesus Aguilar remains a person of interest for me. Will he repeat his yummy 2018 season? (Lonely Dove from Hello)	That sure seems like a career year, but the power's always been real. Heck of a waiver claim. (Jarrett Seidler)
2018-07-10 20:00:00 (link to chat)	I know player comps are stupid, but who is a good comp for Yordan Alvarez? (Kevin from Manchester)	I'm not good at comps. At the plate maybe Jesus Aguilar or maybe Jose Abreu with better approach, more Ks? Someone feel free to chime in (Eddy Almaguer)
2017-04-05 23:00:00 (link to chat)	Jesus Aguilar - is he just alright or something more? (CountryHardBall from Field of Dreams)	I feel like this has been an evergreen question for like 4 years now, and yunno what, that's probably all the answer you need right there. In need of some revolution music, let's hit some Channel One UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6lp30NVICY (Wilson Karaman)
2014-11-04 18:00:00 (link to chat)	What do we have in Jesus Aguilar? 12.8% bb rate / 19% K rate in AAA. 31 doubles, 19 HRs in 427 ABs. 6'3" 250 lbs. Not highly touted but that's a solid year. Could he be a 25 HR guy who maybe has a couple of 30 HR seasons in him or should I put down the pipe? (TheKernel from Pasadena, CA)	I'm still pretty skeptical of Aguilar's big league future. I've had quite a bit of first hand exposure to him at the minor league level, and I just don't see the bat speed and feel for the barrel playing against MLB pitching. I think he's going to end up as more of a 4A type or maybe a bench bat if he adjusts reasonably well to the highest level. (Mark Anderson)
2014-06-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Jesus Aguilar -- can he be an MLB-regular given the chance? (natedogg34 from TX)	It's a stretch. He'd be a second division regular that pops a decent amount of home runs but the rest of it is pretty empty. Probably a platoon bat on a good team, but not too many good teams have right-handed, first-base only platoon guys. (Jeff Moore)
2014-05-29 19:30:00 (link to chat)	Better shortstop long term, Brad Miller or Jesus Aguilar? (DCFG from Quadrant 42)	This is very fresh. Aguilar. (Ben Carsley)
2014-05-27 11:30:00 (link to chat)	Thanks for answering my questions. I love it. I'm going to go for the hat trick and then stop. Can you give me your thoughts on 3 big boys with big power: Dylan Cozens, Franmil Reyes, and Jesus Aguilar? (Ben F from ca)	I like Cozens the best out of those 3. Swing is a bit long, and I'm not sure where he plays. That speaks more to the other two guys, really. Reyes looks like he's pretty mature and old already, even though he isn't. Not much projection left. Not a fan of Aguilar at all. AAAA player. (Jordan Gorosh)
2014-05-15 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Derek Norris is getting more starts against righties. Good call to hold onto him. (RotoLando from Cloud City)	This is not a question, but I'll allow it. May the Jesus Aguilar be with you. (Bret Sayre)
2014-05-07 17:00:00 (link to chat)	Hello Mike: is there a good chance that we'll see Jesus Aguilar playing for the Indians this summer? I see he's hitting well at AAA and doing what the Indians like, taking walks. (howling wolf from Silver Spring MD)	There's a chance, although it would probably take an injury to make it work for him. I do worry that he'd be exposed in the bigs, but I would agree that if he keeps hitting this way that the issue will be forced at some point this summer. (Mike Gianella)
2014-05-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)	What can you tell us about Jesus Aguilar beyond what we can read in his stats? His BABiP indicates he was lucky in the International League, but unlucky up in the A.L. But, where did his power go? (hotstatrat from Toronto)	I don't know much at all about him, beyond the Quad-A masher label he seems to be stuck with. (Harry Pavlidis)
2014-02-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Jeff. Loved the winter ball reports. I'd like to get a handle on just what kind of hitter is Jesus Aguilar. Does Cleveland have a big time sleeper here or more likely a quad A bat? What a winter! (mmcd from ottawa)	You and me both. And so would the Indians, I think. The general consensus entering this off-season was that Aguilar had some power but not enough to really stand out at first base and that his hit tool had enough holes in it to prevent him from ever using that power fully. Then he went out and did what he did this off-season and screwed everything up. It's winter ball, so it must be taken with a grain of salt, but man that was impressive. He'll have to show it's for real this season, but it puts him more firmly on our radar than he was on six months ago. He's a guy I want to get reports on this year. (Jeff Moore)
