No insider info here; I'm reading the same things you likely are -- perhaps next weekend or shortly after barring a setback
Broken bat

Catchers dilemma; 15 T 2x catchers = slim pickings. Had Moreno go down, so picked up Higy of Rangers. Nothing there, then Naylor and he isn’t hitting his weight. Stephenson just became available. Moreno due back next week. Just sit it out or make a short term move? Why?m
Brent Hershey
12:50
I'd prob take a Stephenson shot over Naylor for a week. Some cushion there if Moreno is slowed for some reason.
Leo

NL only.  Please rank the top 4 here ROS:  Mjodinski, RLopez, RLowder, Wrobleski, Junk, Meyer.   A motley crew indeed, but two of them might shine?
Brent Hershey
12:52
Meyer easily at the top. Mlodzinski, Lowder, Wrobleski next. Mlod and Lowder could very well continue to improve as season goes on. Junk would be super-safe
Hopeless Optimist

Good morning Brent.  I'm in a 16 Team Mixed Keeper List.  Had very high hopes on Manzardo.  Surface stats are horrible.  Is there cause for optimism under the hood?
Brent Hershey
12:56
Batted ball quality (via QBaB) is still good... but oh, those Ks are troubling. Last 10 days or so have been better, at least getting hits (9-for-29). Think you just need patience with a young hitter like this.  (and I'm with you - have a bunch of Manzardo on my rosters also)
Dave

Is Tolle worth keeping at the expense of one of these marginal closers - Romano, Baker or Eric?  If so, which would you drop?
Brent Hershey
12:57
Yes to keep Tolle. Could probably drop Romano (though not sure what Eric we're talking about)

Long time sub here; skills v roles has always been an hq mantra, how do we adapt that in this new environment where roles have been muddied up to a point where true full time players are becoming something only found in the top 1/3 of drafts? Should we be pivoting in H2H formats?
Brent Hershey
1:00
No "shoulds" from me in terms of enjoyment -- play what you like! I still think the skills/roles has value, but you can also recognize what's going on and attempt to adapt or take advantage. For me, that's keeping up with the PT situations; who is emerging / earning full time status; ID'ing those players early and rostering them to stay ahead of the AB/IP game. Really good question and topics to consider within this, though.

I need to jump into our AL-only 10Tm OB-5x5 FA pool this weekend. Who would you prefer @3B: Duran or Durbin? and in the OF: Leody or Luisangel? Thanks!
Brent Hershey
1:01
3B: Probably Durbin, even though I get the Duran appeal. Just think he'll rebound
OF: Leody, easily. Luisangel could be another week or less away from heading back to AAA

Hey Brent! Many thanks for fielding our questions! Can I cut bait on Yainer Diaz in a 16-team 1 catcher league? Looking at him is starting to annoy me. Have Herrera as main C.
Brent Hershey
1:04
In this case, yes ... though I'm still stubborn re: Diaz in 2-C lgs
Brent Hershey
1:04
Gotta wrap here quick ... just a couple more

hi Brent, please rank your 3 favorites for ROS with gaps if any among: rocker, garret, rea, canning, dobbins, dollander, giolito. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you
Brent Hershey

Dollander / Rocker / Garrett
Joe Shlabotnik

14-team mixed 9X9 with std. 5X5 roto cats plus K/BBW and QS. My staff is brutal thus far. Would you cut bait (via trade, drop, or whatever) on any of these guys if a guy on the wire (say, a touted prospect coming up, or a possible reclamation project a la W. Urena starts looking good)?

Baz
McClanahan

And less dire, but would you be looking to shop any of these guys while they still have value (nominal in the case of Rocker, but he's at least showing signs)?

Gilbert
Eovaldi
Rocker
Brent Hershey
1:06
I'd look to trade McClan; likely someone else likes. Would hold on Baz. Might shop Eovaldi; would keep the others.
Michael

5x5 meyer, lambert,lowder, pallante, junk.   Please rank top 2 or three.  Thanks
Brent Hershey
1:06
the first three in order
Guest

Hey Brent, Hq numbers seem to support breakouts for Jung, Peraza & Martinez Clev.  Are you buying all three?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Jung more than the others, but reasons to like all
Brent Hershey
1:08
OK, have to run... didn't get to everything; you all brought it today! Back on Monday at noon again, after another great weekend of ball. May your teams stay healthy and your slow starters make it up! Catch you then ....
