Date	Question	Answer
2012-02-02 15:00:00	As best I remember, John Lannan is a pitcher who has seemed to outperform his stats. As a stats guru, you might have a lower opinion of him, but I still wonder what you think the Nats might be able to get back for him in trade. +1/2St. (HalfStreet from Fairfax VA)	Having now signed E-Jax, and having plenty of other rotation options, my guess is the Nats will deal him for a mid- or lower-tier prospect to any team that will take his salary. He's a serviceable innings eater, and there is value in that, but there's little upside here that any team would trade a real asset to acquire. (Cory Schwartz)
2010-04-21 14:00:00	When looking at his peripherals, do you find Randy Wells' performance sustainable? (Matt from Chicago)	Wells belongs to the same group as John Lannan in that guys of this ilk don't do anything that would make you think they should experience success at the big league level, but they do. I don't know if PITCHf/x is a route to take in exploring their attributes or something else, but they get batters out without blistering fastballs, oodles of movement, propensities for grounders, etc. Is Wells a sub-3.00 ERA pitcher? No, not a chance. But can he stick around with his skill-set? Of course. I could see him settling into that upper-3/lower-4 ERA area Lannan lives in and remaining a staple in the middle to back end of any rotation. (Eric Seidman)
2009-07-31 14:00:00	Do you think being able to force GIDP is a consistent skill like K's for guys like Joel Pineiro and John Lannan? (George from Kansas)	I think it's more a function of groundball rates and runners on first base, one of which is a skill and the other an effect. I suppose you could check GB rate in DP situations versus others to see if there's an uptick, but you do have sample-size issues. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-07-31 14:00:00	John Lannan: Future #2 starter or Future #5 starter? (John from Kentucky)	3.5 (Joe Sheehan)
2009-06-25 13:00:00	Will you admit that John Lannan is a good pitcher after he dominated your Yankees in the worst pitchers park in baseball? (Mike from Maryland)	#4 starter. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-04-29 14:00:00	What are your thoughts on John Lannan? (Insert Beatles pun as needed.) (Dan from PA)	Hey there Dan, how's it going? I typed his name into Google the other day to get one of his stat pages, and Google asked me if I meant "John Lennon". Lannan just missed KG's Top 11 for the Diamondbacks, and though I haven't asked him, I'm guessing it had something to do with his inability to put away hitters. He's still walking too many hitters, but he's upped the Ks above the average. He's intriguing, because if he adjusted, he's going to be a useful part for the Nats. He used his slider in less than one percent of the time last year, and this year has utilized it 22% of the time. Anyone have any info on the pitch? (Marc Normandin)
2008-04-01 14:00:00	Did I make the right decission sending John Lannan down to AAA instead of Matt Chico to start the season? (Jim Bowden from Washington, DC)	Absolutely. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-02-27 13:00:00	You should take the over on the Nationals. You have them at 72, one down from last year's 73. With the upgrades in the OF (Nook/Langerhans for Lastings, Church/Snelling for Wily Mo/Dukes), Nick Johnson coming back, and an improved rotation (giving the innings that went to Jerome Williams, Joel Hanrahan, and Mike Bascik to Odalis Perez, John Patterson, John Lannan, Tyler Clippard, etc.) this team will be better. (sbiel2 from Washington, DC)	You could be right there. One thing that PECOTA doesn't know, can't know yet, is just how all those playing time decisions will be made. Right now we have a best guess. As we see how the team sorts itself out, that prediction will be open to revision. (Steven Goldman)

2010-04-05 09:30:00	Season Opener Roundtable	John Lannan went three strong against the Phils, but can barely get anyone out the second time through. Highlighted by that massive Howard homer. Halladay with a swinging bunt to deliver career RBI #2. (Clay Davenport)
