What do you make of Sean Manaea? Should we continue to expect the inconsistencies from him?
Brent Hershey
12:53
Yes, this is who he is IMO. Can be a staff ratio stabilizer in deeper leagues, but as stated above, wonder if there's enough "umps" there for shallower leagues.

Lou Trivino vs. Yimi Garcia vs. Tyler Rogers. All three available in my saves+holds league, where I have an empty spot for midweek FAAB. How would you rank them?
Brent Hershey
12:56
Rogers, Trivino, Garcia ... basically, ranking the strength of their teams. IF you're in a Sv + [holds/2], then Garcia maybe moves up? But on skills alone, like Rogers/Trivino better.

BHQ was a believer in Kole Calhoun this past offseason, and he was someone I was targeting in my drafts (until the injury). He's back now - is this someone worth gambling on if he's still available in shallow (10-12 team) roto leagues?
Brent Hershey
12:57
Yes, just to see. Shorter leash in shallow leagues, but could be that the knee doesn't affect him much.

Hi Brett, how much of a leash should I give players like Leody, Dubon and Dozier? Fairly deep 14 team mixed keeper league. Thanks!
Brent Hershey

Dozier the longest leash. Got indications that thumb isn't fully healed yet over the weekend, which stinks. Really liked his chances for a rebound coming into this year, and the 1B/3B/OF eligibility is helpful. I'd hold there. Taveras and Dubon are probably worth bench spots for now ... but am surprised at Dubon especially not getting as much playing time early on as I anticipated. Have some decisions to make with him in a couple of my similarly configured leagues very soon. Though Taveras played a bit over his head for a debut last year, so this not terribly surprising.

Lightning round ...

Any thoughts on the slow starts for Ozuna and Lourdes?
Brent Hershey
1:01
Holds, both. Too early.

Is Biggio someone you'd be willing to buy low on in an OBP league? Lots of Ks, dreadful start but could have something to give if patient?
Brent Hershey
1:01
Yes; in OBP leagues.

Knebel or Trivino ?  Trawling for saves for this season.  Thanks
Brent Hershey
1:02
You and me both. Trivino for now.

Two solid starts for John Means. In 10-tm leagues, is this someone I can start trusting in daily moves leagues, matchup dependent? Or a sell-high guy? Could really use another bat...
Brent Hershey
1:02
Think he's for real as a matchups guy.

I just traded Senzel, Knebel, and Boyd for Laureano in a 12-team 5X5 OBP league.  Did I give up too much?  I have Sonny Gray and Robbie Ray on my IL waiting to fill the extra spots on my active roster.
Brent Hershey
1:03
Maybe. Still believe in Laureano, but probably like the three you gave up better.

Head-to-head points league; do you think Foltynewicz is a legitimate rebound candidate? Thanks, as always.
Brent Hershey
1:04
No. I still see thrower (instead of pitcher) when I watch him.

Thoughts on Johnny Cueto, back to his old self?
Brent Hershey
1:04
How "old"? I am intrigued that he's got the smarts to have some sneaky value.
