I did look and could not find this. Sorry.

Hi Ray,  With E Surez gone , Any idea when J Lawlar gets called up ?
Ray Murphy
12:38
He's on the IL in Triple-A, so probably as soon as he's healthy. But I'm not totally clear on the specifics of his injury.

Hi Ray, been struggling with closers all season in my Points League. Speculated on some going into the deadline and now have... four of them. How would you rank Jansen, Santana, Garcia and Cade Smith for saves over ROS? Also, would you drop Happ in favor of Chandler Simpson? Thanks for any thoughts.
Ray Murphy
12:39
Jansen would be my choice of those relievers, then Smith.

Happ for Simpson depends entirely on how much you need SB.

In 12-tm, weekly H2H category, w HD+S,  considering dropping Adam, who continues to get HLDs but killing my ratios. Please comment and rank for ROS for HD+S/good ratios … Adam, Vesia, Iglesias, Deitmers, Little, Dominguez, Whitlock, Treinen? Thanks!

Relievers are fickle. Adam's 1.89 ERA is killing your ratios? Tough crowd. He's had a few walks lately, but that's how it goes with relievers and small sample sizes. I can't say with confidence that anyone you list here is going to be better or worse than Adam over their remaining, what, 15-20 innings this year.

Hi Ray. Who do you prefer ROS between Yu Darvish and Taj Bradley, and why? Thanks!
Ray Murphy
12:42
Tough one. Darvish, I guess? Looked good last time out. Tampa giving up on Taj seems damning, and I don't trust MIN to fix Bradley, at least not quickly.

Speed round: do the traded Laureano and J. Sanchez (platoon role) gain, hold, or lose value in a 12-team roto redraft?
Ray Murphy
12:42
I think Sanchez gains value, better park and team context. Probably a wash for Laureano.

hi Ray, thank you for taking my question. Who are your 2 favorite hitters for the ROS among: mouncastle canzone n-gonzales mauricio estrada locklear outman fraley pham matos?
Ray Murphy
12:44
Mountcastle for sure. After that, it gets tough to like anyone on this list.

OK, cleared the queue, so I'm going to cut this short today. Looking forward to watching a ton of ball this weekend and figuring out some of these closer gigs. Watch our content all weekend, we'll have it all covered. Brent will be back for chat on Monday. (I think that will be 12:30p rather than the usual noon slot). Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
