Would prefer any of the Cobb/Junis/Webb trio (in the at order) instead of Gonzales. Would hang onto Kikuchi; skills and velo uptick point to mild rebound

NL 5x5. Avoided saves in my draft, and my eyes lit up when the DBacks called up JB Bukaiskas. He would replace Merrill Kelly or Aaron Sanchez, both expendable. Kelly is killing me but has upside if he’s healthy, and I have him at a buck. Sanchez also intriguing as a Giants reclamation, but I keep waiting for the roof to collapse in his starts. Who goes?

Kelly goes for me; don't share your optimism re: his upside. I may like A Sanchez TOO much, but still better option that Kelly in this situation. Also hoping for some JBB saves down the line ...

Sam Hilliard and Mauricio Dubon. Keep hoping?

Tough ... I'd say Hilliard more than Dubon—who I definitely over-drafted and thought would have a longer leash. Again, it's early on both ... but at some point if the MLB team has other options, these youngsters will find more bench or get sent out.

Helpful addition from a chatter on Cron:

To Frank: As one who drafted Cron and has benched him in favor of pickup Moran...take heart--Cron's BB profile changed markedly this past week, SSS all around but many more LDs and FBs, fewer GBs. He didn't forget how to hit--adjustments, new park and team, probably pressing. Give him time but ride a hotter a bat with him on the bench for now if you can.
