BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2012-02-02 15:00:00	Cory, the list of 12 is up (http://fantasy411.mlblogs.com/ for those not in the know... shame on you!)and perennial underperformer Brandon Morrow is up there. What's your opinion on guys that consistently underperform their xFIP? Is Ricky Nolasco an anonomly or is there some skill defecit we're missing? (mattseward from Cardiff, UK)	This is a good area where "scouting" and observation can complement stats and analytics. My guess is that guys like this struggle with runners on base, so even though they have good pure stuff (as shown in the K/BB rates), they're more susceptible to big innings. This is certainly true of Nolasco... take out his four worst starts last year and he has what, a 3.25 ERA? On the other hand, you have guys like Matt Cain who consistently outperform their xFIP, xERA, whatever... so after 5-6 years of that we must conclude there is some skill at work there that guys like Nolasco and Morrow haven't developed yet. (Cory Schwartz)
2010-10-14 13:00:00	If you were the Padres or Mariners, wouldn't you be doing whatever it takes to pry Ricky Nolasco from Florida? (JoshEngleman from Wilmington, NC)	Mariners, yes, absolutely. Padres, no, but for a very specific reason. Nolasco has four years of arbitration, and is entering his third year in 2011. He made $3.75M in 2010, and that number is going to nearly double before he is a free agent. That's a lot of coin for the Padres to be handing out to someone who will be there for two years before he bolts. (Marc Normandin)
2010-09-15 14:00:00	Good morning hombre- I'm a big Marlins fan. What would you do in the offseason to put this team into the playoffs? I miss the glory days of 2003 and watching them play this year has been killer. I'm dying for another shot at a ring. Any thoughts to help appease my pain? (Angel Batista from Miami, Florida)	I'm bullish on the Marlins, Detective Batista. Anibal Sanchez has taken a big step forward. Clay Hensley and Leo Nunez have been great out of the bullpen. Josh Johnson and Ricky Nolasco are great. They'll have a healthy Coghlan back. There is a lot to like. Starting Wes Helms more than once a year isn't really that wise, and it's time to give up on the Andrew Miller experiment, but there is no reason they couldn't go 87-75 next season and try to sneak into a playoff spot. (Eric Seidman)
2010-07-06 14:00:00	Essay question. Ricky Nolasco is back. Confirm or deny this statement, and support your conclusion with evidence using some of those advanced metrics we love. (BR from NYC)	I don't think this is the right place for an essay-length answer, but 28 strikeouts in 21 innings over his last three starts is a great sign, especially since he hasn't been walking anyone all season. If you'd like an actual essay-length response, email Eric Seidman. (Ben Lindbergh)
2010-03-04 13:00:00	Thanks for the chat..and thanks for more fantasy content. Based on the drafts that you are participating in or seeing, can you give us a couple names that are either going too high or too low in your opinion? (Ben F. from California)	No problem! I'm very excited to have all of the extra authors on board. Craig Brown is debuting tomorrow, and I hope all of the Heater guys are starting up next week. I've only done auction so far, so I don't have a good answer for that. But I can tell you that Ricky Nolasco has not been a bargain, at least in my leagues. I'm sure he still is in many though. (Marc Normandin)
2009-06-18 13:00:00	I told my league when we finished drafting that Ricky Nolasco was the steal of the draft. Well to say the least I have been made fun of quite a bit. Can he salvage his season and become close to the player I was expecting when I took him? (JFerg from MD)	Nolasco's driving me nuts, because his peripherals are fine, but he can't strand a baserunner to save his life. I'm hoping things even out, because having this much bad luck for a full year would suck. (Marc Normandin)
2008-10-07 13:00:00	Marlins outlook next year and the year after? (james from bk)	If they can keep the rotation healthy for once, this is a team that can do some serious damage. Ricky Nolasco is true ace material, and Josh Johnson's pretty damn good himself. If Anibal Sanchez can at least settle in as a #3, the rotation will be an improvement on this year's mess, one that started with Mark Hendrickson involved. Hanley Ramirez improved on his defense, making him even more valuable, and is one of the top players in the game--possibly #2 in overall production next to the peerless Albert Pujols. I like them more for 2009 than I did for 2008, given the problems and injuries in their rotation. That's the key to the whole team. as their lineup is good enough to be carried by a great set of starters. (Marc Normandin)
2008-09-23 13:30:00	How much are you concerned with Ricky Nolasco's innings jump? (bossfan101 from Gresham, OR)	He's 25, so not that much. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-08-22 13:00:00	Ricky Nolasco? Has he figured something out? Could we possibly be watching someone become an ace? or small sample size? (Nick from NYC)	He's got my attention, that's for sure. I'm thinking his walking one per nine is a tad on the unrealistic side, but even if that jumps back up a bit, he's still posting some impressive peripherals. I really wanted him in my fantasy league before anyone else noticed, but I was too slow. (Marc Normandin)
