Date	Question	Answer
2017-09-12 23:00:00 (link to chat)	What do you do if you're Jerry DiPoto with the pitching staff this winter? And is 2017 Mike Zunino (currently 13th in BP WARP) peak Mike Zunino? (Roger DeSwanns from Out and About)	Can we take a moment to appreciate the 2017 Mariners pitching situation? The club has used 40 guys. 40. 4. 0. I watched so much Yovani Gallardo and Sam Gaviglio and (checks sheet)... Christian Bergman. My Christmas family party trick is going to be memorizing all 40 pitchers and reciting them in order of first use, which I imagine will mean I'll be able to sit in the corner and drink an eggnog alone the whole time. So if you're Dipoto, and you're using your holiday the same way, I assume you pencil in Paxton, Felix, Mike Leake, Erasmo Rameriez, then (mumbles mumbles). Gotta imagine they'll try to get some cheap back end guys and throw them in with Marco Gonzales and Ariel Miranda and see where they end up. Unless they make a move for Ohtani... Now, on to Mike Zunino. I think that offensively, this is peak Zunino. Maybe he adds a bit more in average. He probably hits more home runs over a full season. The approach looks solid now. NO REALLY IT DOES. But this is a productive major leaguer and that's a huge win for him and the org. The thing I'm hoping rebounds in 2018 is the defense. His framing is starting to come back, after being awful in the beginning. If we see a real jump forward in value, it's marrying the offensive improvements with defense approaching what we saw in 2014. But honestly, given the journey, this version of him is a pretty neat thing. (Megan Rowley)
2017-01-06 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Is Cardinals Marco Gonzales even in the picture this season? Finally healthy, is he anything? (Dirk Diggler from LA)	I don't think so? Reyes and Weaver don't have clear spots and I would have to imagine are ahead of him? Maybe? What does healthy Gonzales even look like at this point. We are now three years out from him having a good run in the upper minors. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2016-12-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Any keeper potential at all for Banuelos, John Lamb, or Marco Gonzales? (Curtis from Seattle)	I think there is potentially some with Lamb, but this is slim pickings. (Kenny Ducey)
2016-03-03 13:00:00 (link to chat)	After last season and blocked in the rotation, what are your thoughts on Marco Gonzales? (Gary from Indy)	Still think he has a future as a starting pitcher. Last year was no doubt is a disappointment, but he still has the stuff/command to pitch in the middle of a rotation. Whether or not that's in St. Louis is another question. (Christopher Crawford)
2015-04-29 20:00:00 (link to chat)	In a deep 12 team keeper league, should i pick up Marco Gonzales? Does he have the highest upside in the short term of the available pitchers? Gausman is available too... (Don Slaught from sent from my iPhone)	I wouldn't. Gonzalez may have the best chance of running with that rotation spot in the long-run, but he doesn't really have shallow mixed upside. (Bret Sayre)
