Date	Question	Answer
2016-12-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Are Soler for Jake Thompson and Candelario for Matt Wisler even trades value-wise? (Jeff from Brooklyn)	I have no idea if this is a fantasy question or not. First one is a lot closer to me than the second one in baseball terms, but I think you don't want to buy or sell low on Thompson. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2016-03-09 19:00:00 (link to chat)	Trying to slim down on my lower tier SP for dynasty, help me rank this group, please? Roenis Elias, Chi Chi Gonzalez, Matt Wisler, Alex Meyer, Ervin Santana & Alex Wood (Meh SPs from Chicago)	I'd go Alex Wood, Santana, Wisler, Meyer, Chi Chi, and Elias. They're all pretty close to me with the exception of Elias. (Mike Gianella)
2015-07-02 15:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Doug, could you rate these 5 Ps for future? Any stand out above the others? Joe Ross, Vincent Velasquez, Raisel Iglesias, Matt Wisler, Michael Lorenzen. Thanks! (ColeWhittier from Pasadena)	Ross is an intriguing pitcher but his pitch selection is mirroring his brother's approach, including a high rate of SL's that simultaneously raises the injury risk and put the onus on his ability to bury the pitch. I really like Velasquez's delivery and the velo is legit. Iglesias is incredibly advanced for his age. Lorenzen has great stuff but was perhaps promoted before the command was honed, whereas Wisler holds the opposite profile of low ceiling but high floor. Long-term, give me Velasquez-Lorenzen-Wisler-Iglesias-Ross, but in the near-term I would go with Velasquez-Wisler-Ross-Iglesias-Lorenzen. Velasquez is above the others, and development will determine how the rest fall into place. (Doug Thorburn)
2015-06-02 18:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you see Matt Wisler as a potential number 2? It seems like he has the pitches and now the command, performance has just lagged a bit. (Max from Kansas City)	I think a #2 is too high, I still go with a mid-rotation starter as the best outcome. (Mauricio Rubio)
2015-04-29 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Someone is dying for some prospects, and also happens to have George Springer on his team. I can offer him Brad Zimmer, Brett Phillips, Derek Fisher, Matt Wisler, D.J. Peterson, Derek Hill, and some other top-90 MLB OF's like Crawford and Fowler. Which of those guys should I give him for Springer? (Danny from OK)	I'd trade Zimmer while his value is hot. You'd probably have to give up less overall that way. (Bret Sayre)
