He's an aggressive hitter, but 2 walks in 108 PA is taking it to another level. It's adjustment time - something you may not have a 12-teamer.

Musgrove - very deep 5x5 NL-only. Would you stash on bench for now, try to trade for 30-cents on the dollar, or play him? FpK 12.8%, SwK 12.3%, 4.77 xERA. For this week, he has a 1.6 matchup rating vs. CIN at home in SD.
Brent Hershey

I'd probably bench if I could ... though tough in a deep NL. Trending towards one of those players for whom I question our Matchup ratings just a bit. Was an ugly start over the weekend.

Joey Loperfido trade for Orelvis Martinez.  Which side do you like?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Orelvis, but it's close and if you're looking for immediate spark, can see the Loperfido side.

What are your thoughts on Christian Scott?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Been on my radar since late last season. Mets have a need. Once he gets the call, the hype train will explode. Love the pitch mix/arsenal and ability to command it. As SP go, a quality prospect stash.
Brent Hershey

Got 4 mins left ... will do as many as I can...

Would you keep starting? Keith from Detroit or  start Farmer from Minnesota  until Kieth starts hitting. thanks.
Brent Hershey
1:07
Keith, tho my leash is shortening

Hi Brent,
Really appreciate your insights and the work you do here at HQ.  In my AL-only Scoresheet league, I recently traded my 15th round pick in 2025 for Garrett Crochet (somewhat of a buy-low).  Now, I am beset with buyer's remorse.  His perphs belie his surface stats in startling fashion.  K-BB% of 25.6 being one example.  He should be OK, right?  Will he pitch 160 innings, in your view?
Brent Hershey
1:07
Doubt he'll get to 160. Arsenal says results will be up and down in 2024.

Hi Brent--NL only 5 by 5.   Need pitching as deal with injuries, at least for next month.  Among available guys -  Priester, Wesneski, Nick Martinez, Cecconi, Felter, Bryce Wilson, Tobias Myers, Brito - whom would you try to pick up, in what order?
Brent Hershey
1:08
Cecconi, Wesneski, Priester, Myers
Buff

NL only keeper, looking for speed. You have Jacob Young projected for 181 AB’s ROS and 10 SB’s. Given his hot start and the Nats’ propensity to run, could this be revised upward? Who would you prefer, Young or TJ Friedl?
Brent Hershey
1:08
Yes, and Young.
Buff

NL keeper. Do you like Joey Ortiz as an upside play?
Brent Hershey
1:08
Yep

With Manzardo feasting on AAA pitching, any concerns on Josh Naylors PT once CLE calls Zardo up? Specifically asking for H2H formats where PT is king. Thank you!
Brent Hershey
1:09
Nope; Naylor's AB are fine.

Will Junior Caminero make a significant impact right away and is here worthy of a bench roster spot in H2H leagues?
Brent Hershey
1:09
Good a chance as any; the date is the question.

12 team AL only dynasty league, what’s going on with Randy Arozarena? Have an offer of Nelson Velazquez for him would you take it?
Brent Hershey
1:09
Would hold Aroz

Good Morning Brent, Is it time to drop Jose Abreu in a 5X5 redraft league or hold on a little bit longer to see if if can right the ship?
Brent Hershey
1:10
Drop if you can find decent replacement
Porcho Villa

Had reluctantly made peace with plugging Nolan Jones in as my everyday 1B when Casas got hurt. Now Jones looks IL-bound as well with a back injury. Who is the least bad replacement (5x5 OBP, daily moves): Canha, O'Hearn, Bell, Kiriloff, C. Joe, L. Wade, B. Donovan?
Brent Hershey
1:11
Kiriloff, O'Hearn since you know they'll play vRHP

Good morning Brent Happy Monday Great day in Maine with 70 degrees expected-great baseball weather right? I am in an AL and NL league both dynasty 5x5 and have a few general questions: 1) Desperate for saves-If Craig Kimbrel goes on the IR who gets the bulk of the saves? 2) Do you think Lucas Erceg has value? save potential? John Means (BAL) hasn't looked great during his rehab games-what do you expect from him when he gets activated off the IR? One quick lightning round NL question-Will Mark Vientos get playing time at DH and CO to warrant rostering in a 12 team league? As always thanks for your input!
Brent Hershey
1:12
  1. Cano
  2. not right now
  3. Means - they'll give him rope
  4. Not yet in a 12

Travis Black is off to a very nice start in AAA, and looks like he may be close to a promotion. But where does he fit in Milwaukee?
Brent Hershey
1:13
Very valid question, as he is playing 1B. Don't have a good read on that one.

Curious why folks are not more bought in on Westburg.  Lower strikeout rate and hitting the ball consistently harder.  Seems like a breakout?  Are you on board?
Brent Hershey
1:13
Absolutely. Overlooked.
Analyst

NL-only 9 team, standard 5x5.  For next month, who do you like: Fernando Cruz,Cecconi, Knack, or Mitchel Parker?
Brent Hershey
1:14
Lots of (unintended) Cecconi love from me today. He's my pick here
Bruce
1:14
12 team AL only.  Dairon Blanco has been pretty frustrating so far, used more or less as a pinch runner early on, but has been seeing a bit more PT recently albeit without sbs to show for it.  Hang in there with him?
Brent Hershey
1:14
He is what he is.
Brent Hershey
1:15
OK ... still left some on the table, but have to move on. Thanks so much, all; always look forward to this. See ya next Monday!
