BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2009-03-19 15:00:00	Matt Tuiasosopo has had a hot spring. If Beltre gets traded at the deadline, will Tuiasosopo be ready to contribute? (KerryFam4 from Atlanta)	As a solid-but-unspectacular third baseman? I think so. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-09-03 14:00:00	I like my nickname. Am I legit? (Baby Tui from Seattle)	I love your nickname (we're talking about Matt Tuiasosopo, by the way). I think you can hit. I think you have good pitch recognition and excellent swing mechanics -- I do wonder what your power ceiling is; you're plenty strong, but it's kind of a level swing without a lot of loft and backspin. I'm not sure what to make of you at times, but I do like you better than I did a year ago. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-05-05 12:30:00	Matt Tuiasosopo: Future star or 4-A tweener? (MarinerDan from San Francisco)	Wait, what? When did we even start to think Tui was good enough to be a 4-A guy? I would think that before that happens the guy has to, you know, start hitting Triple-A pitching. I've never liked Tui much at all -- he's an awkward fit defensively, and he just doesn't hit for any power. He's a Double-A lifer, to me. (Bryan Smith)
