| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-01-10 13:00:00 | Thanks Derek. How much higher, if at all, is Carlos Santana's ceiling compared with Devin Mesoraco, considering offense and defense? (Keith from Manchester, CT) | It's definitely higher. Neither is Ivan Rodriguez behind the plate (neither is Mike Piazza either) and Santana’s ceiling with the bat is much higher (not to say Mesoraco won’t be good, though). Santana has the kind of elite catcher bat potential that would still play very well at another position. (Derek Carty) |
| 2012-01-10 13:00:00 | Rapid 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) |
| 2011-08-16 17:00:00 | Thanks for the chat, Jason. Do you think the Reds call up Devin Mesoraco in September, and since Ramon Hernandez is a free agent, how likely is it Mesoraco gets the starting catcher job next spring? (Keith from Manchester, CT) | I would be stunned if the job is not Mesoraco's next April and frankly, it should be his already. The Reds are not going anywhere so unless Hernandez is being blocked in claims, no reason to keep him around at this point. With Pierzynski going down, the White Sox need a catcher.... (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-08-11 13:00:00 | Derek, gotta admit I was worried when Marc left, but you've continued to make fantasy coverage a bright spot for the site. Wondering about which call-ups over the next few weeks you think will have the biggest fantasy impact. Specifically, players like Montero who haven't been called up yet and may still be available. Thanks. (DanDaMan from The Vineyard) | Thanks, Dan. I really appreciate the kind words.
We've seen most of the big names called up over the past couple weeks with guys like Goldschmidt, Lawrie, Trayon Robinson, and others getting the call. A few others still left in the minors that could prove valuable are Montero, Leonys Martin, Brett Jackson (if he continues hitting), Brad Peacock, Devin Mesoraco (if someone gets injured in Cincy), and maybe Matt Moore, especially with Alex Cobb done for the year. (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-06-14 13:00:00 | Devin Mesoraco is destroying AAA (.330/.409/.558), but the Reds already have two starter-worthy catchers. Should they make a move mid-season to give him a shot or hang tight until after the season and let Hernandez walk? (RMR from Chicago) | Free Ryan Hanigan! As far as I'm concerned, Hanigan should have not only his own starting job, but his own reality show about having a starting job. The Reds are stacked at catcher from the majors on down, and a number of other teams around the league might pay through the nose for some help behind the plate, so if they're confident that Mesoraco is psychologically ready for the majors and that his development wouldn't be hurt by a time-sharing arrangement, making a move might not be a bad way of maximizing the value of their assets. (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2011-05-09 13:00:00 | With Devin Mesoraco ahead of him in the depth chart, do you see Yasmani Grandal changing positions within the Red org or do you see him on another team in the future. Does he have the bat to play at a corner OF or 1b? (Hutch from Ottawa) | He might, but moving him from C to 1B would destroy his market value, and do nothing for his future with the Reds because of Votto. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-09-13 13:00:00 | Were you exaggerating for effect in a previous answer or have you really never heard of Wil Myers, Devin Mesoraco and Brandon Belt? I realize you're not the in-house prospect guru, but you're leaving us with the impression that you don't even read the content. 2 of those 3 were in KG's ten pack today. (Rob from Alaska) | Have I heard of them? Yes, in passing, but I don't have particularly strong fixes on them at this point in their careers. Having never seen them play nor collected multiple opinions about them, anything I say is going to be regurgitation, and you're better off getting an opinion straight from the horse's mouth.
Furthermore, it can take me days to catch up to all the content on this site. Particularly when I've got articles AND chats up in the air, I don't get to some of the good stuff until later in the week. And I'd guarantee you every single writer on this site has the same problem - we're all more concerned with where our next ideas are coming from than we are with admiring each other's handiwork, not that we don't think highly of it. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2010-08-20 15:30:00 | Any chance the Reds' AAA affiliate could beat the Pirates in a 7 game series? They're trotting out a lineup of Dave Sappelt, Chris Valaika, Yonder Alonso, Todd Frazier, Juan Francisco, Danny Dorn, and Devin Mesoraco, with Sam LeCure, Matt Maloney, Aaron Harang, and Aroldis Chapman among their pitchers. (Joe from Cincy) | I was going to rip you and talk about how massive the different is between Triple-A and the big leagues is, but they might have a chance. I'll still favor the Pirates though. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-11-12 14:00:00 | "fall-down range".....stop it, your killing me....I can't be laughing that loud at work....man (Chris from Virginia) | I've thought of compiling a bathroom-reading book of my favorite scout quotes. It would be awesome, but definitely not safe for work. Here's a nice exchange with a scout about Devin Mesoraco that I had for the Reds list:
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? got a huge bonus? KG: Oh yeah. Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes. (Kevin Goldstein) |
