Date	Question	Answer
2019-07-11 23:00:00 (link to chat)	Have you seen Niko Holsizer? Worth pursuing in a dynasty? (terps993 from MD)	Hulsizer's a guy we'll have a bunch of notes on here very shortly. Between the MWL and now the Cal several of us have seen a little of him now, and he's not a dude you really feel comfortable projecting on until you've seen him a lot. Jacob Bickman's first impressions are here: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/51080/notes-from-the-field-june-25-2019/ It's just a ton of power - according to Tremor he drilled one 116 the other night. It's also a ton of (aggressive) swing-and-miss. Sometimes those dudes turn into something like Wily Mo Pena, and many more times they have the same career trajectory in Japan minus the 8-year MLB career (Wilson Karaman)
2017-08-28 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who in your humble opinion is the greatest 3 True Outcomes player of all time? And who is the greatest playing today? (Paul from DC)	I always always always want to say Jack Cust here. And I'm sure there are purer versions out there -- Wily Mo Pena maybe? Wladimir Balentein? -- but Cust's 2007,where he walked over 20 percent of the time, struck out over 30, and had about a quarter of his hits as home runs is pretty remarkable. He should've never declined, in a just world. The best today? That's kind of tough -- I would've said Nick Williams, but he doesn't walk enough and his major league output has been kind of different. Joey Gallo is tempting, but he also isn't a big, big walker. Probably, it's Aaron Judge, who's flirting with Cust's 20/30 bb/k rate and has about 25 percent of his hits as HR. (Trevor Strunk)
2017-02-09 13:00:00 (link to chat)	What can we expect from Joey Gallo in 2017? Can he win the TEX 1B job out of ST or has his ship sailed after a miserable 2016? (Bronx Bomber from Philippines)	Wily Mo Pena got a minor league contract in this, the year of Our Lord 2017, so rest assured that no ships ever sail. That said, PECOTA puts him at .216/.321/.470, which is just higher than Steamer and just lower than Popular Free Agent Chris Carter (though with better defense). I think he gets a shot; the question comes down to how he times his inevitable month-long cold streak. He should probably avoid having it in April if at all possible. (Patrick Dubuque)
2014-08-06 16:30:00 (link to chat)	Who would you take in a Swingoff between Russell Branyan and Willy Mo Pena (Mike from Chicago)	There are very few situations in which you don't want Wily Mo Pena on your side. (Cespedes Family BBQ)
2014-08-06 16:30:00 (link to chat)	You can watch either Joey Gallo, Wily Mo Pena, or Carlos Peguero take BP before a game. Which one do you choose? (Greg from Lexington)	These are the kinds of personal questions that we do not feel comfortable answering during this chat. (Carlos Peguero). (Cespedes Family BBQ)
