| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2021-03-26 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Maikel Franco barely cracked the Feb dynasty top 500 for you at #470. Does the Baltimore signing move the needle for you at all or does the very back end of the 500 still feel right? (MK from Houston) | Signing with the Orioles certainly moved the needle some for Franco in the short-term. He will fall in the 400-450 range in the next update. I remain concerned about his long-term value, though. Any time the best you can do for a full-time job is the Royals then the Orioles, things are not looking good. It is worth noting that Franco may split time, especially early in the season, with Rio Ruiz. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2017-01-06 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Will Rio Ruiz perform good enough in AAA to earn a shot at 3b this year?
if not, I believe Atl will sign/deal for a vet one by next year (old man from duke's bar) | He has to beat out Adonis Garcia still? Yeah, he has a shot. I don't think he's the long term answer either though. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2016-09-08 19:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you see any of the following playing meaningful roles in the mlb in 2017:
Rio Ruiz, A Knapp, Micah Johnson, A Toles? (DB from Pgh) | I'm going to say no on Ruiz, Knapp and Johnson, but I firmly believe that Andrew Toles, who has already shown his value as a righty-masher for the Dodgers, becomes a quality platoon outfield for Los Angeles moving forward. If you're looking for the next platoon specialist like Matt Joyce or Danny Valencia, this is your guy. (George Bissell) |
| 2015-02-04 19:00:00 (link to chat) | Settle these arguments for me please:
1) Is Willy Adames a better prospect than Rio Ruiz?
2) Steven Souza or Wil Myers for the next five years? (Omarion from Hardly, On., Canada) | I'll take Adames. Was unimpressed with Ruiz in my AFL viewing. Feel for contact is there, but I don't think he's a 3B, and if he isn't, then what is the profile like? Fringy, contact-oriented strong side platoon guy? Adames does nothing spectacularly, but I think he'll hit for some avg/power at the big league level, and his defense at a non-SS position should be solid avg.
Myers by quite a bit. (Jordan Gorosh) |
| 2015-02-04 19:00:00 (link to chat) | Thanks for the chat! End of my dynasty keeper list, keep two of three: Jorge Mateo, Ozhaino Albies, Rio Ruiz. Who ya got and why? (Rob from Alaska) | I like Mateo quite a bit more than most. Legit top of the scale runner. Albies is an intriguing profile, although he's got some 'shiny new toy' type love right now. None of his flaws have been exposed. Plus, he has an outstanding name. Aforementioned, I'm the low man on Ruiz. And, especially from a fantasy POV, Ruiz is playing a less important position than the other two. (Jordan Gorosh) |
| 2014-08-08 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Ranking highest upside, bat only... Aaron Judge, Rio Ruiz, Lewis Brinson, Renato Nunez, Dalton Pompey, and Franklin Barreto? (MP from Kentucky) | Pure upside: Brinson, Judge, Pompey, Ruiz, Barreto, Nunez (Craig Goldstein) |
| 2014-08-04 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What's up with Rio Ruiz now that Colin Moran has joined the Astros organization? I can envision a scenario where one gets traded or one moves to 1B, with Singleton moving to DH. But that is all just speculation. (Wayne from Austin) | Moran will end up at 1B someday, but no one is moving anybody just yet. That stuff all works itself out. Look at Baez and the Cubs. They shifted him to 2B like two weeks ago and he's fine. People have been wanting to move players in that organization for the past two years but no one moved. They'll find a spot for everyone and so will the Astros. That's why the minor leagues are so deal. No need to even worry about it just yet. Just hope they all hit and figure it out later. (Jeff Moore) |
| 2014-07-22 15:00:00 (link to chat) | Jordan, gun to your head (pretend, of course), which of these bats has the best chance to win an MVP in 5-7 years: Raimel Tapia, Dalton Pompey, Austin Meadows, Aaron Judge, or Rio Ruiz. (Matt from KY) | None of them have an MVP ceiling. But, Tapia could mash his way to one, I guess. (Jordan Gorosh) |
| 2014-07-01 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Rank these pitchers: Jose Berrios, Daniel Norris, Marco Gonzales
Rank these hitters for their bats: Hunter Dozier, Michael Taylor, Rio Ruiz, Jesse Winker
Thanks! (FantasyFrodo from Washington) | Norris, Berrios, Gonzales. #BullDozier, Winker, Ruiz, Taylor. (Chris Rodriguez) |
| 2014-05-30 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Looking back now, which was better? Buxton or Correa+McCullers? (Tim from CC) | I think the question is which process yielded the better result? Still too early to tell. Both were valid takes given the composition of the class. The determining factor might be whether or not Rio Ruiz develops into anything of substance, long term. Reports have been better this year, but that's really what the Correa signing bought. You could have fit Buxton and McCullers under the soft cap. (Pre-Draft Chat with Nick J. Faleris) |
| 2013-09-27 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Rio Ruiz had a great second half (and playoffs). Do you see him as a .280 BA, 20+ HR third baseman ? (Jim from Houston) | I think that's the ceiling and there is plenty of work to do to get there, but he is a very interesting player. (Mark Anderson) |
| 2013-07-29 11:00:00 (link to chat) | Clash of the Low A 3B - who ya got: Rio Ruiz or Renato Nunez? Either one look like a future first division player? (Rob from Alaska) | Good question, I'll take Rio Ruiz because I think he has a better chance of staying at third. From all accounts it does not look like Nunez will be able to stick at third, and he has major violence in his swing. (Zach Mortimer) |
| 2013-07-25 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who has more impact potential between Rio Ruiz and Domingo Santana? What will each contribute at the major league level if the tools/skills turn into production? (Kevin from Houston) | Santana. Not sure Ruiz can hit. (Jason Parks) |
| 2013-01-02 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Which of the young prep 3B from the 2012 draft do you like more, Carson Kelly or Rio Ruiz? (McLuvin from Honolulu, HI) | Both have some warts as corner profiles, but give me Ruiz (assuming future health) due to the chance for a slightly better glove. (Nick Faleris) |
| 2012-10-23 13:00:00 (link to chat) | what player surprised you, based on the scouting reports/tidbits you received on him? (xxx from yyy) | I'll start with the Astros because I just finished researching their system. Rio Ruiz. Um, he has some fans and they love the potential of his bat. I wasn't expecting that sort of love. (Jason Parks) |
