Starting at 12:30 PST, reliever Stephen Pryor will be logging on to answer your questions this afternoon. If you missed the article from yesterday, please take a look at the suggested conduct for this chat and general information about this feature.

Stephen will be answering questions under the handle "Stephen Pryor" because I'm boring and it'll be easy for people to distinguish later on. As mentioned before, please hit the "rec" button underneath Stephen's answers so that his responses will be easy to distinguish for those who read this article later.

The comment section will be closed until 12:15, and then you can start asking questions so Stephen has a chance to sort through a few before we begin. Thanks again to the Tacoma Rainiers for helping set this up.

Update: The chat is now over. Feel free to read through the answers and continue discussion freely. Thanks to Stephen and everyone who participated!
