All depends on your competition window and/or what is cominb back in return. Super high on Caminero, but history says even the best prospects can struggle on first MLB exposure -- so keeping JRam could make sense, esp if this is a one-year league.

In a league with NetSaves and Holds how would you rank Hoffman, Ginkel, Yates, A. Uribe? Does Uribe hold on to the (substitute) closer role? You think Yates going to be the primary closer in Texas?
Brent Hershey
12:47
Yates and Uribe prob about even. I do feel Uribe will hold on until Williams gets back ... but also that Yates could end up as primary guy in TEX for the whole season. Those two have a more legit shot at saves ROS than do Ginkel/Hoffman.

Hurting at SP in H2H League QS instead of W.  2 of Fedde, Littel, Maeda, Mize, Olsen, Pepiot.  At some point I will get Garrett and Steele off IL. Should I keep any of these six over them?
Brent Hershey
12:50
Of the six, like Pepiot the best; prob prefer him over Garrett right now. Littell sneaky good also; Garrett's injury history a bit of a concern. Maeda could throw some QS, as well.

Cut Aaron Hicks, Matt Wallner, or Harold Ramirez in an OBP AL Only?
Brent Hershey
12:51
Assuming not much on the wire (AL-only) and without any stated options, I'd probably hold, as each has had some good walk rates/OBP in their past.
Katman
12:53
Trying to contain my enthusiasm for Matt Shaw and his 1.450 OPS, but I can’t do it. Is a June call up and regular ABs at 3B realistic?
Brent Hershey
12:53
Think that timeline and outcome are possible, yes, as long as the defense is holding at 3B. Could be a AA --> mjrs guy given his pedigree.
Don Dringus
12:54
Does Harold Ramirez lose all playing time when Arranda gets back? Possibly DFA'd?
Brent Hershey
12:54
Not all, no. Doesn't seem like Rays would DFA Ramirez, frankly.
Katman
12:55
Please rank for 5x5 production ROS: Braxton Garrett, Steven Matz, Jameson Taillon
Brent Hershey
12:55
In the order you have em (assuming health for each; which is likely a stretch :-) )
Katman
12:56
Have Kris Bryant cheap in my deep NL 5x5 260 rotisserie. I believe in patience, but my eyes tell me he may be cooked. I can replace him with Edward Oliveras, who seems like a decent upside play.
Time to punt?
Brent Hershey
12:56
Yep; this is an option in which moving on makes sense -- especially now with Bryant a bit banged up over the weekend.
Beano
12:57
one more? Your thoughts on M Taylor? I could grab B Perkins …🤔
Brent Hershey
12:57
Similar type of players; I am more likely to believe in the guy with MLB experience.

Do U feel J Walker is keeper worthy in a 12 team mixed points league? Please rank J Walker, N Valezquez, Soler, J H Lee, Conforto & Kwan. With appreciation 4 your time.
Brent Hershey
1:00
Can't make a keeper call this early in the season, and this early in JW's career. Need 2024 to see how/if/when he develops.
Rank for me (long-term value, since the first part of your Q was on keepers) would be Walker/ Velazquez / Lee / Kwan/ Soler / Conforto

Brent, pretty confused. Ruiz killing it down in AAA, but the bring up 7b player instead of him. is he in doghouse because of bracelet?
Brent Hershey
1:00
Have no idea, but OAK obviously doesn't believe in him for whatever reason. That much seems clear.
David

Hi Brent- NL only, 5 by 5 with OBP. Could you rank Dunn (Mil), Fitzgerald (SF), Fairchild (Cin) , Young (Wash), Perkins (Mil), Yaz.  for my last spot.  Thanks
Brent Hershey
1:02
Dunn, Young, Fairchild, Yaz, Fitzgerald, Perkins
Dave

Hey Brent, 12 team 5x5 cats league. Would you drop C F Alvarez for any of the following FA options; Heim, O’Hoppe, Campusano, B Naylor, H Davis, K Ruiz, or Garver?
Brent Hershey
1:05
Easy no for Davis, Ruiz, Garver and probably Naylor.

If your main need is power, then you want Alvarez over the others. (There's a world where he ends the season with 30+ bombs). But if you feel you need broader category help (some BA mixed in), then could prefer O'Hoppe, Campy, Heim.
Jake

Couple fluid closing situations on good teams; PHI + TEX. You see anyone running off with either of these gigs?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Waaay more likely that Bochy (TEX) settles on one guy than Thomson (PHI)
Ben Brown

In a 5x5 w K’s, start or sit today?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Start.
Jobu

Pick one in a h2h categories league for my last OF spot - Nootbar, B De La Cruz, Kiriloff, P Meadows, J Clase. Thanks!
Brent Hershey
1:07
De La Cruz, partially b/c he's a no-doubt everyday starter
Bob
1:08
Better buy low target in a 5x5 - Buxton, J Walker, Chourio.
Brent Hershey
1:08
Chourio
Beano
1:09
Just a heads up - I asked a question about B Perkins but someone just picked him up! The only guys available to replace M Taylor (should I do so) are Duvall, I Herrera, DJ Stewart or T Fitzgerald -- best to just keep Taylor?
Brent Hershey
1:09
Ooo, I'd rather have Herrera. Legit bat.
Guest

Would you drop Candelario for Baty in a league with a limit on the number of transactions?
Brent Hershey
1:09
Tough ... I might just do that. Fear that early-season elbow injury (missed half a game) for Candy is affecting him.
Buff

NL only keeper 5x5 Roto. All at roughly same contract, assume position needs not important, would you trade Jung Hoo Lee for Spencer Turnbull and Miguel Amaya?
Brent Hershey
1:10
Yep
Brent Hershey
1:13
Oh, man, just saw the Red Sox collision. Hoping for the best for O'Neill and Devers. Think this is an apt place to stop.
