Cheap keeper, at least at this point. Things might change by March

J. Loaisiga has 9W 5Sv 17Hld and a low ERA.  Pre-season projections mostly called for this performance.  Any similar arms come to mind that might go under the radar next season?

These guys pop up every year, and many based on MLB team context, so difficult to name guys for 2022 now. Looking for them in March on perennial contenders like NYY and TAM is a good place to start.

It looks like F. Peralta may start this week.  I have him on my Main Event team.  I could sit Megill (at St. Louis with .1 HQ rating).  Even if Peralta starts would he go 5; of course he rates to strike guys out.  Your advice?
Brent Hershey

Start him, unless you're in my league (and you might be... lol)

Hi Brent,  In an NL-only team needing SB.  Do you think Rosario will get enough playing time in ATL for a significant source of SB?  Thanks!
Brent Hershey

No, changing teams and expecting SB to continue (on a squad where his PT is likely to tank) I think is pushing it.

Very frustrated with Tony Gonsolin usage, even when healthy.  Any reason to think he'll start getting 5+ innings per start when he gets back ??

Unlikely

Picked up Tsutsugo, Jake McCarthy and Aquino as late season replacements in an NL only OBP 5x5 league.   Any of them likely to be useful keepers?
Brent Hershey

Interested to see what McCarthy does this month -- if he gets PT, and how he fares, given his Pwr/Spd MiLB profile. He's prob the most likely to be keeper considered of this trio

Hi Brent!  In an NL-only keeper league.  How do you see Rodriguez situation in Atlanta unfold with Will Smith still around?  Rodriguez hasn't seen any save opportunities thus far and I have him for $16.

Don't see saves this year; $16 seems risky as a 2022 saves source.
