DateQuestionAnswer
2012-01-10 13:00:00Rapid Fire: Ten fantasy rookies who will make impacts in 2012 (5 pitchers, 5 batters): _______? Go!
(Francois from Toronto)		Okay, rapid fire…
P: Yu Darvish, Matt Moore, Addison Reed, Julio Teheran, Brad Peacock
H: Jesus Montero, Yoennis Cespedes, Mike Trout, Devin Mesoraco, Tyler Pastornicky
There are certainly others that will have impacts too. I actually have an article about fantasy-worthy rookies in the Fantasy Baseball Index magazine that will hit newsstands this preseason, if you’re interested in my take on other guys. (Derek Carty)
2012-01-30 13:00:00Surprised by the Braves off season? What do we do if Tyler Pastornicky can't hit ?
(William from Pensacola. FL)		On one hand, a little bit, as I felt like there were some real moves they could make, including getting an ill-fitting Martin Prado off the team or perhaps trading out of their surplus of starting pitching. On the other, the Braves have been run very conservatively in recent years, so I wasn't expecting much. And I suspect, as has been true in recent years, that if Pastornicky doesn't hit they won't do much--or they'll default to Jack Wilson, who can't hit either. (Steven Goldman)
2011-09-02 14:00:00What do you think of Tyler Pastornicky? Is he a starting SS, or just a utility player?
(Noah from SD)		Could be an every day guy. Not a star, but solid every day guy. (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-08-26 16:00:00Does the Braves Front Office have any regrets trading away Yunel Escobar who has been terrific since joining the Jays?
(Zooey from LA)		None. We root for Escobar because we want every trade we make to be win-win for both organizations involved. Alex Gonzalez helped us reach the playoffs last year with his Gold Glove defense and had a huge hit in Game 2 of the NLDS to tie the score. Gonzalez has helped us have a great season again in 2011. Escobar is an extremely talented player and we hope he does well in Toronto and, to his credit, he's shown his 2010 numbers in Atlanta were an aberration.

The interesting thing about that deal, which often goes unmentioned, is the second and third players we got in the trade. Tim Collins, who was used a couple of weeks later to help facilitate a trade for Kyle Farnsworth and Rick Ankiel, has spent the entire 2011 season in the Major Leagues as a left-handed reliever for the Kansas City Royals. The third player, Tyler Pastornicky, projects for us as an everyday shortstop and has hit .315 with 7 HR and 27 SB as a 21-year old in Triple-A. There was a lot more to that trade than just Escobar and Gonzalez. (John Coppolella)
2011-08-26 16:00:00What's your take on SS Tyler Pastornicky? Could he be a starting shortstop for you next year?
(Bret from Toronto)		Very young and underrated player who continues to improve. (John Coppolella)
2011-08-24 13:00:00What do you think of braves SS Tyler Pastornicky?
(Noah from ATL)		Sorry ... momentary technical glitch.

He's hitting a ton of singles in AAA, which is way better than making a ton of outs. It sounds like the Braves will be giving him a look next spring, and it's possible they'll have so much fun saying his name (go ahead, say it out loud right now -- isn't that enjoyable?) they won't be able to resist giving him the job. His ceiling is strictly Hippocratic in nature -- he won't make so many outs that he'll kill you, but he isn't going to save you, either. (Ken Funck)
2011-06-27 14:00:00Should I be rooting for Tyler Pastornicky to get a shot at SS for my Braves at some point?
(Max from Work)		Towards the end of 2012, maybe. (Kevin Goldstein)
2010-04-08 14:00:00How do you rank Justin Jackson, Tyler Pastornicky, Gustavo Pierre and Hechevarria?
(Bill from Toronto)		Hechevarria, Pierre, big gap, Jackson, Pastornicky. Pierre is a great sleeper in a system desperate for one. (Kevin Goldstein)
