Won't get to all, but into cherry-pick mode ...

hi brent, NL only, 5x5 traditional categories .wainwright had a great outing last week. are you believer for a back end starter? What is your position on non-traditional relievers like howard and suter vs set up men? thanks for your support
Brent Hershey

Wainwright - yes as back-ender
Non-traditional relievers -- wrote a column about this exact subject (paywall) on Friday. Think it's a viable strategy w/ the right guys.

Think Heliot Ramos gets the call by mid-season?
Brent Hershey

Good under the radar type that prob isn't talked about enough. Yes, think it's possible

Luis Castillo, ugh. Expecting an ace (BBHQ 12th ranked SP) and instead he's been the worst SP.  Feels like bad luck is playing a role, as he is bottom 6 out of 60+ qualified starters in BABIP, HR/FB and LOB%. Do you see better times ahead or should we be looking to deal him?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Think ya gotta hold. Very surprising to me, as well obviously. Ingredients that made him ranked so high still there.

Thoughts on Bumgarner after that no-no? His last two starts were 100+ BPV each, and his velocity was back up to 91 (previously 89). Any hope for him this season?
Brent Hershey

Doesn't change much for me ... though profile/temperament would seem like he could figure a way to age gracefully. Maybe this is a start

Tristion Mckenzie has never had control issues in the past (in a small sample last year and in the minor leagues). Is this something that can turn around, or should I be concerned. Every start has been WILD.
Brent Hershey

I'm skeptical in the short term. Want to see it improve before I buy in

What are your thoughts on David Peterson? He has nice BPV right now, but the results have been inconsistent. Is he as good as the skills say, or just early season small sample?
Brent Hershey
1:05
Small sample for now ... though watching pitch mix.

H2H points league - 2B options. Hiura, McMahon, biggio or someone that may be unowned?
Brent Hershey
1:05
McMahon right now
Mugghead

Quick follow-up to my Sano/Hiura question: would you drop either in favor of CJ Cron? Thanks again.
Brent Hershey
1:05
yes

Is Yonathan Daza someone to target? Can he win the center field job in Colorado? And is it time to give up on Sam Hilliard?
Brent Hershey

Really never know with the Rockies and young players. Daza looked good this weekend.

In a 12 team AL only keeper league how much value does Garrett Crochet have this year?  I love his upside but I have a roster crunch that could have him on the outside looking in.
Brent Hershey

I'd try to find a spot for him in a keeper league if at all possible. Want an arm like that to see how/if he develops.
