Date	Question	Answer
2020-01-24 13:00:00 (link to chat)	A lot of Zac Gallen buzz but will he even win a starting job to begin the season? Merrill Kelly finished last year very strong. Chance that Luke Weaver outperforms Gallen? (Craig from Chicago)	This is a fair point and something has to give. The rotation is full with Bumgarner, Ray, Leake, Gallen, Weaver, and Kelly. There have been rumors of a potential trade of Ray, and I would expect something to happen in the next month or so. If nothing happens, I have to imagine Gallen earns a spot in the rotation. I do think Weaver could outperform Gallen. Weaver has slightly better stuff and command than Gallen, but with the injury flag clouding his short-term future. (Jesse Roche)
2019-04-19 18:00:00 (link to chat)	Thoughts on Charlie Blackmon's slow start? Could you give some starters and first basemen that you target to receive in a trade for him? Thanks! (Matt from MSP)	Blackmon's decline began last season so it might be tough to get value in return from other perceptive fantasy owners. That makes it tricky in that you have to try to get a good player while not making it appear you're selling low. I think Josh Bell has some more upside so he might be a target. Ji-Man Choi is another option. On the pitching side, It is getting late to jump on the Luke Weaver train, but there should still be time. I like Pablo Lopez' upside as well. (Scott Delp)
2019-04-19 18:00:00 (link to chat)	Lot of stud SPs hurt or sucking... give me three to target a buy low on! (Harold from Boston )	Jack Flaherty, Luke Weaver and Pablo Lopez (Scott Delp)
2018-06-20 19:00:00 (link to chat)	who are your best buy low hitters and pitchers ROS? (Frank from Brooklyn)	Manuel Margot, Gary Sanchez and Brian Dozier for hitters. Jon Gray, Luke Weaver and Yu Darvish on the pitching side. (Mike Gianella)
2017-10-09 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Is Luke Weaver a future ace ala Wainwright? (The Old professor from New york)	In general, it's really, really hard to predict aces. Luke Weaver doesn't seem like he'll get particularly close, considering his stuff and minor league resume (don't let this season fool you). A #3/#4 pitcher is more likely, and knowing the Cardinals, he might surpass that. Pitchers have had far more lucrative careers from less. (Brett Cowett)
