DateQuestionAnswer
2019-05-31 13:00:00 (link to chat)Keibert Ruiz or Daulton Varsho in a Dynasty? Contention window is 2-3 years out.
(Peter E. from Durham, NC)		Man, this is a difficult question. Varsho will have sneaky fantasy value because he might swipe double-digit bags, not unlike J.T. Realmuto. I'll probably side with Ruiz if you're not expecting to compete for a couple of years. Ruiz could be an elite all-around catcher. Varsho's skills with the bat are more actualized, which would be attractive to someone who has the dynasty squad to compete over the next couple of years. (J.P. Breen)
2018-12-11 13:00:00 (link to chat)Thoughts on FA Grandal?
(zeeksam from Halifax)		I think Yasmani Grandal is probably being underrated because of the focus on his awful postseason, as opposed to his consistently very good regular seasons. I ranked him as the #9 free agent.

https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/43474/the-2019-free-agent-fifty-1-10/

For many teams, signing him seemingly would make a lot more sense than trading big prospect hauls for J.T. Realmuto. (Aaron Gleeman)
