Date	Question	Answer
2021-04-30 13:00:00 (link to chat)	I've invested a lot of fantasy cash in Victor Robles and Gavin Lux, but I'm obviously not getting much of a return these days. Should I sell or be patient? (Salad Parooch from Flavorville, USA)	It always depends on the value you can obtain in return. Just today, I dealt Robles in a deal for Christian Yelich in TDGX2. Neither are untouchable, and I would jump at a reasonable offer given the heightened risk for both. (Jesse Roche)
2019-05-13 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Who would your MVP picks be right now? (Awards Season from Everywhere)	I'd go with Mike Trout and Cody Bellinger, with a hearty honorable mention to Christian Yelich. (Aaron Gleeman)
2018-05-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Just how good is Juan Soto? (Dylan from Hartford)	Really great, so far. Our prospect team has been out in front of that hype train, but I think he's got a very high ceiling thanks to his hit tool and approach. I'd love to see him as a Christian Yelich type in the bigs ... with a chance to be better ... but I do have a little concern about early-career leg injuries. For sure, he'll make Bryce Harper's impending departure from Washington a bit more palatable. (Bryan Grosnick)
2018-02-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)	With his move to Milwaukee, coupled with his steady hit tool progression, can Christian Yelich break into the top 25 in 2018? (SmallMarketFan from NJ)	With a more favorable park, yes, it's entirely possible his ceiling could be .300/25/20 and a top-25 guy. However, would I pay full price for that best-case scenario? Not just yet. I like him more than PECOTA, and Yelich is outside the top-50 in ADP right now, so that�s a nice speculation as long as he isn't going in the first 2 rounds. (Kevin Jebens)
2017-10-23 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Gut reaction. Where are Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich playing next season? (aaron from MA)	Stanton will be in Boston, perhaps, and maybe the Phillies finally get Yelich? They've long been rumored to have their eyes on him, and if the Marlins are truly going for a festering-mold-on-the-bottom-of-the-barrel tank job, they may not care about trading him in-division. (Nicolas Stellini)
