DateQuestionAnswer
2021-03-03 12:00:00 (link to chat)Austin Slater. Looked kind of good last year. Can he get playing time?
(kalimantan from Daisyville)		Slater has some really great indicators in a lot of regards - plate discipline, power, DRC+ - so I think he can. I'd feel much better if there was an NL DH and Zaidi just loves to shuffle these outfielders in and out, but he's worth a late-round gamble for me. (Darius Austin)
2017-10-17 20:00:00 (link to chat)Is it me, or does it feel like a foregone conclusion that the Giants will find a way to trade for Giancarlo Stanton? Any idea what package would get it done, maybe something like Chris Shaw, Tyler Beede, Heliot Ramos, Austin Slater, and Steven Okert?
(matzabal from CO)		Haha, I'm not so sure it's foregone, but they're an easy spot to visualize him landing. I think a lot of previously rebuilding teams are probably in the running for him, since slotting him in the OF is a good way to suddenly create a good offense. Odds on, I'd say the Giants make a strong, if not the strongest run.

I don't think it's going to be a bunch of prospects for him kind of deal though. My guess is that some team is going to have to take on salary and give up probably their top prospect, especially since Jeter is going to want his GM to make an initial statement. I think I'd need Arroyo in there as well as Beede and Shaw. (Trevor Strunk)
