Lockridge I guess with Merrill down for a bit. Myers or Young next ... but none really stand out.

Need to make a tough SP drop to activate Bieber. Who’d be your cut: Alcantara, McLean, Gausman, or S. Gray? (5x5 QS)
Brent Hershey
12:52
You probably JUST picked him up, but McLean (walk rate?) should be the cut. Too much track records from the rest.

AL only, saves/HOLDs league.  Please rank:  Robt. Garcia, Yariel Rodriguez, Justin Wilson, GTaylor.  All have their warts and are hurting me recently... but still need holds.
Brent Hershey
12:53
Yariel, Garcia, Taylor, Wilson

NL 10 team 5x5. Locklear and A Del Castillo were brilliant pickups at $1 each! Now they are dragging me out of the money finish! Is Troy Johnston a guy I should consider instead?
Brent Hershey
12:53
No; roll with the DBacks and hope for a turnaround

15 team mixed.  Is CMayo going to get 80% playing time ROS finally?  Seems like too many players for DH/1B and BAL has a history of limiting Mayo... or will Basallo be the Catcher most games?
Brent Hershey
12:55
Very valid question on Mayo. So far so good ... but frankly tough to trust BAL given their past and other options. DOES seem like Basallo with either C or DH most games. I hope Mountcastle gets the shaft and Mayo stays in there. They need to see what they have there.

Another beautiful Monday, Brent!

How are you feeling about Randy Rod' -- both short and long-term? Any concerns? Do you think Ryan Walker comes full circle and takes the closer job back?

Jud
Brent Hershey
12:56
'Tis beautiful here as well! Yes, a bit of concern as RR has not locked down that role post-Deadline as it seemed he should. Now there's an injury poss ... Walker makes for an interesting backup for sure.

AL only, obp league.  Please rank:  EQuero, AKirk, KHigashioka, including any gaps.  All are available for a corresponding move of dropping AWells.
Brent Hershey
12:57
Kirk, Higgy, then a gap to Quero. Might keep Wells over Q

My dear Brent, NL 10 team 5x5 -- what are we to do with S Strider? He does get Ks, but everything else is terrible. If I waive him and his wasted $26 salary, some team will grab him for $6 for next year so I can't dump him...is there any hope for a late season bit of wonderfulness or is this just who he is now?
Brent Hershey
1:00
Such a good question. I assume benching him is not an option (league rules); that's a serious consideration right now where you can do that. Otherwise, no; I'd not drop -- and then all you can do is just run him out there and hope (maybe don't watch his starts?). Track record says its in there; but sure seems like he needs a reset that the offseason will give him. Maybe ATL gives him a rest or skip here soon (if they only had real MLB SPs to replace him with ...)

AL only, obp league.  Just trying to evaluate V.Robles suspension and appeal.  10 games is too much for me to bid on him at this point in the season.  Impossible question but what do you think the appeal will bring it down to, if at all?
Brent Hershey
1:01
Answered above. Tricky situation, as obv SEA wants him in there.
Porcho Villa

Harris II looking like he has cooled off, inevitable given near-0 BB% and wild power surge. SBs have been disappointing. Especially needing SBs for the playoff stretch run, would you drop him for Stott, Keaschall, or Hoerner? Or sit tight? (5x5 OBP)
Brent Hershey
1:02
Yeah, could see that in this sitaution ... my pref list would be Hoerner, Stott, Keaschall in that case
Ron

Hi Brent,  are you worried closer Megill? He seems to be running out of gas.
Brent Hershey
1:03
A bit. An Uribe pickup this week in FAAB is not the worst idea.

Hi Brent!  With Masyn WInn having some knee probs now, you think JJ Wetherholt gets a nod soon?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Doubt it; though perhaps last 2 weeks or something? Interesting that Winn has been battling at least since the All Star Break

AL only.  I really want to believe in Luis Morales despite the park.  Misguided?  Will he help or hurt ROS?
Brent Hershey
1:04
Tough to say; so young and that park, as you mention. More likely to hurt ... but sometimes ya gotta take a shot in AL-onlys.
Brent Hershey

Thanks, crew! Got through them all. Not 100% sure of next Monday's chat (Labor Day), but we'll talk again soon. Best of luck to the H2H playoff folk, and down the stretch roto crew! See ya!
