Date	Question	Answer
2019-02-11 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Another Scoresheet question [multiple leagues] - when fishing for (probably very) late round relievers, how would you rank Bud Norris, Oliver Perez, Tony Sipp? (Homer from Springfield)	Bud Norris confuses me. And as such, I just refuse to acknowledge how good he's been. Kidding. Sort of. Oliver Perez really got back on track last season, and despite being roughly 48 years old, I love his LOOGY potential in Scoresheet. Sipp too. Just because finding dominant left relievers is tough, I'll say Sipp, Perez, Norris. (Mark Barry)
2015-10-06 19:30:00 (link to chat)	Is Oliver Perez going to get in this game? I seem to remember him getting a big out last time he pitched in a playoff game. (OmarM from Flushing)	And he has three outfielders that can go and get it over the fence now! - JP (AL Wild Card Game Chat)
2013-03-08 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who are a few of your favorite players this season? (MLB or minor) (Batpoet from San Diego)	Hi Batpoet, always good to see my Twitter friends here; glad you could join us! At the big-league level, I have a fondness for guys who attended my alma mater or who I saw play a lot in the minors. That would include A.J. Griffin, Oliver Perez, Kyle Blanks, Headley. Current minor leaguers? Austin Hedges, who I look forward to watching at Lake Elsinore. And of course, Billy Hamilton, who is just so disruptive. I doubt I'll ever get tired of watching him play. (Geoff Young)
2011-04-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)	How much are you rooting for Omar Minaya to be the financial representative of MLB that needs to sign off on the Dodger's decisions until the ownership situation is resolved? Would that be the greatest thing ever, or simply great? (Marc from Inside Your Internets)	Which is a more wasteful way to spend Dodger money, on an estate in Cape Cod or on Oliver Perez? Hmm. (Neil deMause)
2010-12-07 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Word from Gammons is the Mets would eat about $10 million of Beltran's last year to move him to Boston, or take $10 million of bad contracts in return, like maybe Daisuke. What do you think? (Colin Jaffe from New Jersey)	I just wrote about acquiring Magglio Ordonez or Josh Willingham for left field at Red Sox Beacon, but Beltran would be a fine fit as well. His defense is diminished, but he would be playing in left anyway, and it would open up a rotation spot for Boston to either (A) put Felix Doubront in or (B) acquire a starting pitcher to fill out their rotation. It also helps the Mets, as someone like Matsuzaka gives them starting pitcher depth at a good price--Dice-K makes $2M less than Oliver Perez, and is far, far superior--in a park and league where his stuff should play better than at Fenway. It would be win-win, if that's the case. (Marc Normandin)
