2018-06-20 19:00:00 (link to chat) | who are your best buy low hitters and pitchers ROS? (Frank from Brooklyn) | Manuel Margot, Gary Sanchez and Brian Dozier for hitters. Jon Gray, Luke Weaver and Yu Darvish on the pitching side. (Mike Gianella) |
2017-04-28 13:30:00 (link to chat) | How sad of a dynasty league team do you have if you've agreed to trade Brian Dozier and Dellin Betances for Mickey Moniak and Robert Gsellman? (Zach G from OFFICIA) | You know those montages in sitcoms or dramedies where people walk around a park or a pier or sit on a bench and just like, contemplate life and how they've been led to this point? Maybe stare out a bay window as it rains and their coffee gets cold? Yeah. (Craig Goldstein) |
2017-03-20 13:00:00 (link to chat) | A Dozier trade for Baez specifically, or Happ to a lesser degree, would help boy teams, right? Baez could be moved to SS for the Twins and Polanco to 2B making the twins better defensively. While, Dozier would clearly be an affordable, and resifnanble, lineup improvement for the Cubs to try and repeat. Thoughts on a package that would make sense to help both teams? (DJ from Mpls ) | There is zero chance the Cubs would trade Javier Baez for what is essentially two seasons of Brian Dozier. They might not even make that trade for 2017 alone. Ian Happ is more realistic, although the Cubs would have no real need for Dozier with Baez at second base. I think Jose De Leon (from the Dodgers, at the time) was a perfectly reasonable offer. Dozier's pre-2016 performance is good rather than great, he's a free agent in two years, and he's either not an option or not a big asset anywhere other than second base. (Aaron Gleeman) |
2017-03-22 20:00:00 (link to chat) | "Low minors second base prospect is always a tough profile." Ahhh, so THAT'S why every scout crapped all over me, and Dustin, and Cano, and Mookie B., and on and on and on. Maybe second base shouldn't be looked at as a "tough profile" any more than any other position. (Jose Altuve from Cooperstown, but later) | So Pedroia was a shortstop prospect until Double-A, Cano was mostly a shortstop until High-A (and looked like he would end up at third if we're counting), and Betts played all over the place. People will bring up Jose Altuve until the cows come home, but isn't the guy who turned out to have an 8 hit more the exception than the rule?
Here's an exercise: group your favorite X number of MLB second basemen and see how many were second basemen in the low-minors. I'll start. Aside from the above, Daniel Murphy wasn't, Ian Kinsler wasn't, Ben Zobrist wasn't, Javier Baez wasn't, Brandon Phillips wasn't, Neil Walker wasn't, Dee Gordon wasn't, Logan Forsythe wasn't, Brian Dozier mostly wasn't, I think Jason Kipnis and Rougned Odor moved there in High-A, hell even Joe Panik moved there in Double-A. (Jarrett Seidler) |
2017-01-06 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Can you explain the excitement around Ozzie Albies as a prospect? I know he's a good defender, but it's at second base instead of shortstop. Offensively, there's no power and not great walks. So it's basically all batting average driven, right? How is this guy ranked so highly? (Larry from Minnesota) | He's 19 and hit in the upper minors? That's usually a really good sign? Part of this is a function of the minors being down overall, so guys that might have fit better in the back half of a Top 101, now end up like 30-50 because of a shallow talent pool. But he's not bad at shortstop (and we don't consider that the Braves won't play him there for the purposes of ranking, they might also trade him for Brian Dozier and then he is a 50 SS for the Twins). And the hit tool is legit, and he's a plus-plus runner that will pick up some extra bases that way. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
2016-08-01 16:00:00 (link to chat) | Brian Dozier or Brandon Crawford ROS? (hamsterjockey from Minnesota) | Depends on your needs. In a vacuum I want Crawford but if you need the power and the batting average isn't a big concern go Dozier. (Mike Gianella) |
2016-06-07 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Have to think Twins fans would be very disappointed if Buxton slashes .250-.300-.420, no? (sbnbaseball from NYC) | Twins fans are disappointed that Brian Dozier doesn't make enough productive outs. It's a low bar. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
2016-01-27 19:00:00 (link to chat) | What do you expect out of Brian Dozier over the next three years. Do you like Jonathan Schoop as a sleeper this year, and if no someone you think that could become fantasy relevant. (Drew from Rockford, IL) | I'd expect more of the same from Dozier. Good power with little help in AVG. I do like Schoop as a late-rounder. His AVG will drop from where it was last year, but the power is real. Spangenberg is another good late-round target. (Matt Collins) |
2015-10-27 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Which prospect are you most disappointed in (that you thought would excel but didn't) and which are you most proud of (that exceeded your expectations; Jacob deGrom doesn't count!? (Kate from Jersey City) | I thought Alex Meyer would have put it together by now and at worst be a dominant late-inning arm with a shot to start. I don't know if the command profile works more than as a generic middle guy. I won't say I'm proud of this, because I horribly missed here, but Brian Dozier turning into a good regular I did not see coming at all. Looked like a grindy, but very Twins, utility guy to me. I missed on few guys on those Rock Cats team. Colabello had a similar power jump in the majors. At least Aaron Hicks looks more like the guy I saw in the Eastern League now. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
2015-10-19 19:00:00 (link to chat) | Has Jonathan Schoop figured it out enough to make a solid impact instead of just HR and otherwise empty stat line? How far behind is he from Brian Dozier? (Karl from San Antonio) | The answer is somewhere in the middle. Not quite a pure BABIP fluke but I would expect some regression. He's a few ticks behind Dozier for me, and I don't see enough speed or a sustained high batting average that will get him to where Dozier has been. (Tout Wars Champ Mike Gianella) |
2014-05-15 20:00:00 (link to chat) | 25 February 2014
Team A trades $9 JJ Hardy and $10 Brian Dozier
to
Team B for $38 Justin Verlander
Contract years are the same for all players. Team A was willing to give up 43 middle infield home runs in order to get Verlander, letting Team B off a pre-auction high salary hook. Dynasty league with salary inflation to kick in next year, normal $260 limit at auction. Unlimited keepers so long as under the salary limit.
Now the team that traded for Verlander wants to trade him back to the same owner. It’s clearly a dump trade. One thing that is bothersome besides the fact that we’re about two months before normal dumping time is that the dumping Team A is in THIRD PLACE in a league of 15 teams:
#3 Team A trades $38 Justin Verlander and $12 Chase Utley
to
#1 Team B $1 Jose Fernandez and $1 Jedd Gyorko
As a commissioner, would you allow this trade or call for a vote?
(TeamPineTar from KC) | As commissioner, the first thing I would do is eliminate trade vetoes. (Bret Sayre) |
2014-05-07 17:00:00 (link to chat) | Would you sell me high in an OPB league or will i keep enough value moving forward? (Brian Dozier from Min) | I got dinged on Twitter for saying I wouldn't trade Brian Dozier for Robinson Cano. So you might say I'm high on Dozier. It's not that I necessarily believe Cano will be worse than Dozier but that I could see the two being comparable ROS. Dozier's numbers over the last calendar year: 26/93/70/23/.242/.324. He'll hurt you in OBP but he does enough every where else that he's legit, and will be one of the better 2B in the bigs. (Mike Gianella) |
2014-03-24 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What are your thoughts about Brian Dozier's improvement last year? Do you think the gains are for real--can he be a 15-16 HR guy the next few years? I really like the potential lineup he might be a part of in 2015 (Arcia,Buxton,Sano). (balticwolf from Silver Spring) | I like BD. He seems to be selling out for power and I'd like to see the AVG improve some, but if he continues to sell out for power and you can take the AVG hit, he's a great option. Doesn't cost much, either (Paul Sporer) |
2014-01-21 18:00:00 (link to chat) | Are you buying the Brian Dozier projection hype established by a few sites? (jaymoff from Salem) | I haven't seen any Brian Dozier hype...I must be visiting the wrong sites. I think Dozier is going to slip somewhat this year and is more of an asset in deeper mixed and only leagues than in standard mixed. The power won't completely maintain and the batting average is going to slip. He'll keep the job, but isn't going to be a 25-30 HR guy. (Mike Gianella) |
2012-05-07 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What kind of production do you see from Brian Dozier now that he's the starter and do you see him holding onto the job? (LoyalRoyal from Kansas) | From what I know about Dozier, he'll be a solid, if unspectacular player. I'm skeptical about his defense at shortstop--he's been described as someone without the arm or range for the position--and frankly, I think Jamey Carroll is better than what he's shown. Still, why not give Dozier a shot if you're Minnesota? (R.J. Anderson) |
2012-04-12 14:00:00 (link to chat) | I noticed Brian Dozier and Jordany Valdespin did not make your list for impact prospects in the first question. I see opportunity potentially there for both. But, not sure on production. Thoughts??? (LoyalRoyal from Kansas) | Yeah, that list was far from comprehensive. Behind potentially shaky middle infields, I could see either coming up a grabbing full-time at-bats and being fairly successful. Neither are super prospects, but in AL or NL-only, either is a worthy stash. (Derek Carty) |
2012-01-20 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Thoughts on Brian Dozier? Can he be an above average MLB ss? (Jen from England) | No, but he can be a solid 2B. (Kevin Goldstein) |
