1) Nelson (by far best QS option here); 2) Springs; 3) Festa.

Hi Brent,

In a league where holds count as .5 of a save, which RP should I cut:  Phillips, Erceg, or Adam?

Thank you
Brent Hershey
12:50
Today, I would cut Adam, b/c feel like the other two have better opp for Saves, which is going to help you more than holds. Think there's a decent chance that Phillips finds his way back to the 9th in LA.

AVargas v. WMerrifield ROS?
Brent Hershey
12:50
Merrifield. Think there's a chance for him to be sneaky helpful, even at the bottom of that lineup.
schmoz
12:52
NL only with K category.  ROS NMartinez v. DLHall?
Brent Hershey
12:52
Martinez, b/c while he won't have the K rates of Hall, the rest of what he gives you will be better.

Hi Brent,  deciding on who to trade in 12-team mixed roto where we score the W, L, QS, K/9, WHIP and ERA.  Z. Gallen has better projections that Z. Eflin, but I prefer to keep the latter because of Gallen's health and Eflin's team and better BPV.  Am I crazy to prefer Eflin?
Brent Hershey
12:53
No, not crazy. I might slightly prefer Gallen ... but esp with the trade to BAL, Eflin is still a very solid choice.
Ron

Hi Brent,  will Tucker be back before September?  Tatis?  -----dying over here
Brent Hershey
12:54
These types of questions make us all uncomfortable. My guesses:
1) No
2) Yes
Beano

NL 5x5 10 team league: please rank the following for ROS - kiner-falefa, chaparro (likely called up today) and Del Castillo
Brent Hershey
12:55
IKF, Del Castillo, Chaparro
Beano
12:55
Is there any hope for M Gore? And is DL Hall worth a roster spot in NL 5x5?
Brent Hershey
12:55
Check out the first question from today!
Ron
12:57
Hi Brent, are you bullish on Yoshida ROS?
Brent Hershey
12:57
Not really. Nice little run that he's on; I'm liking it if I have him ... but not falling over myself to acquire him or anything. Could be wrong, but I don't think it's sustainable.
Hot Corner
12:57
When Junior Caminero comes up what position(s) do you expect he will play?
Brent Hershey
12:57
Third base, maybe a sprinkle of 2B because they are the Rays. But don't feel like he'll be a shortstop long term
TexasBob
12:59
2B prospect upside for 5x5 Roto league... who u like more Triantos Cubs or McGonigle Det? significant difference or close?
Brent Hershey
12:59
McGonigle. Higher upside due to better hit tool; and a bit more likely to find PT once they make that call (next year for both, I'd think?)

Cristopher Sanchez is going through a bad patch, giving up 7 ER last night. What kind of stats would you expect from him next season, assuming he is not seriously injured?
Brent Hershey
1:00
Inconsistency that many young pitchers face. So he'll be brilliant for a game or two, then the change-up isn't quite as sharp and he'll get hit. The nature of a young starter.
Kerry

Brent, how did any of us enjoy baseball before Xavier Edwards? This guy's a stud!
Brent Hershey
1:00
Super fun player. Should run wild rest of the season.
Beano
1:02
I don't know if I sent this or not - thoughts on Call in Washington? What did he eat?? Drink?? what's the story??
Brent Hershey
1:02
Think he's a quad-A guy on a hot streak. Might be ridable, just don't get overly attached. Could well keep that job for ROS, but should not be in WAS long-term plans.
Commish

Hi Brent,this season is over for me but I am trying to accumulate some extra draft picks for next year.My question is,who would be the 5 best players possibly (barring trades)to come over to NL ….FA or International players….thank you
Brent Hershey
1:03
No way of knowing in August how NL owners in December are going to spend or not spend. Roki from Japan is one would could move. Think all you can really do is accumulate picks and take what's there (or trade em away).
Rick
1:05
Nootbaar, Pages, Nolan Jones. How would you rank them in Dynasty?
Brent Hershey
1:05
With Andy Pages, I assume ... I'd go Jones / Pages / Nootbaar, but 2/3 could be flipped. Even with 2024 struggles, feel like Jones a half-step above those other two.
Beano
1:06
grab Del Castillo on FAAB today - even if I have to waive Higashioka?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Eh ... probably would sit tight with Higgy. Been doing it for longer.
Brent Hershey
1:06
Super, all ... got to everything. Check out that FPAZ link at the top and get to making those plans! See ya next week here, same time/channel, etc. Chao!
