| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-02-02 15:00:00 | I need to choose between Dustin Ackley, Jason Kipnis and Jemile Weeks as a long-term option at 2B in my Strat-o-matic league. Which of these guys has the most long-term value? I'm worried about Kipnis and/or Ackley moving to the outfield down the road. (Danny from NC) | I'd go with Ackley, he appears to be the most complete player of the three, and as best I can tell the Mariners seem committed to him at 2B. He's a much greater asset there than he would be in an outfield corner. (Cory Schwartz) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Who is the better bet long-term at 2B: Dustin Ackley, Jemile Weeks or Jason Kipnis? (Desmond from Jersey) | I'd gladly take any of the above and smile the grandest of smiles. Forced to rank, I'd go: Ackley, Kipnis, Weeks. (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-10 13:00:00 | What do you think Jason Kipnis will do this season? (John from Mississippi) | .270-15-10 with upside (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-11-15 13:00:00 | How do you evaluate the following young 2B in terms of long-term fantasy value?: Jemile Weeks, Jason Kipnis, Dustin Ackley. (Steve from Pitt) | Kipnis, Weeks, Ackley (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Small sample size, but were you surprised by Jason Kipnis' power? Think he can go 20/20 with a solid average? (Cale from Cleveland, OH) | I do. Very skilled hitter. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-07-21 13:00:00 | Why is Orlando Cabrera still playing in Cleveland? (No fair going with the pictures of management in compromising positions joke) (Slew from Seattle) | He apparently has pictures of Jason Kipnis.
I'm not sure why they aren't to Kipnis yet, unless they think he's so dreadful defensively (which he isn't) One other option: Kipnis was an OF in college. Luis Valbuena had to play LF the last 2 days and had plays that may have affected the outcome of the game. I'd really like them to upgrade internally, but not why they thought Chisenhall was ready and Kipnis wasn't. (Mike Ferrin) |
| 2011-06-21 13:00:00 | Hi Derek. Callups such as Moustakas and Ackley have recently deposed primary starters for teams. Which other current players do you see as short-timers in their starting line-up? One specific Q: Johnny Gia for Getz anytime soon? Thanks... (LoyalRoyal from LV, KS) | I think we'll see Johnny Giavotella this season, but the Royals may look to extract some value via trade out of a guy like Getz beforehand. Other guys to look for in the near-term include Trayvon Robinson, Jason Kipnis, and Dayan Viciedo. There's talk Wily Mo Pena will get the call this week to DH and could force himself into the OF picture in Arizona if he hits. (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-04-25 13:00:00 | Who would you rather have in 2012: Orlando Cabrera or Jason Kipnis? (Guancous from Silver Spring, MD) | Kipnis, for sure. He hit well in Double-A last year, and is in Triple-A for the first time this season. Cabrera doesn't have much left, if anything. I would probably rather have Kipnis as soon as possible. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2011-01-03 14:00:00 | Jason Kipnis is a guy you've really touted this year. As an offensive minded 2bman, what kind of power/avg./speed combo are we talking if all goes right? (Vic31 from Newark, NJ) | .300 hitter with 12-18 home runs and solid 1 per 10 walk rate. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-01-03 14:00:00 | Speaking only in terms of offensive production, better career Danny Espinosa or Jason Kipnis? (Socialist Joe from Somewhere in NY) | Kipnis. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-01-03 14:00:00 | I see the multiple choice questions are popular. Nick Franklin or Jason Kipnis? (myshkin from Santa Clara, CA) | Kipnis. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-01-03 14:00:00 | Jason Kipnis or Mystery Player from Mystery Team? (Gotribe31 from DC) | Mystery Team Top 11 comes out in February. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-08-20 15:30:00 | How do Dustin Ackley and Jason Kipnis match up as far as tools, projection and upside? (Mike from Cleveland) | I've asked this exact question myself and it's one I'm struggling with. There is the whole reputation vs. results quandry. Ackley is faster, should be a better hitter, but Kipnis HAS been the better hitter, and has a much more successful conversion to the infield. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-07-01 14:00:00 | KG, what do you make of Jason Kipnis? He's been as advertised with the bat, even displaying solid power at Akron, but does he have enough glove for 2nd? (Troy from Cleveland) | Another guy I'm a big, big fan of. I don't think he'll ever confuse anyone with Orlando Hudson there or anything, but I think he'll hold his own, and I think he'll hit. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-07-09 13:00:00 | Can Jason Donald actually play shortstop? Because he hasn't thus far. Who plays 2B for CLE in 2012, Jason Kipnis? Should the Tribe let Jhonny Peralta play SS for two weeks in a desperate attempt to show off his "versatility?" (But seriously: Donald is an atrocious SS.) (buffum from Austin TX) | What's wrong with Asdrubal? Is he going to be gone in 2012, guaranteed? (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-07-09 13:00:00 | Asdrubal Cabrera will be the SS in 2012, AFAIK. Unless Jhonny gets re-upped, then all bets are off. But at 2B, you have Cord Phelps, Jason Kipnis, Jason Donald, and Luis Valbuena. None of whom I want to see on the other side of the diamond. (buffum from Austin TX) | Well there's always trades and free agency I guess. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-04-08 14:00:00 | What would you say is the best-case, yet still reasonable, timeline for Jason Kipnis? (Dave from Denver) | late 2012? (Kevin Goldstein) |
