What is Tovar doing right? Doing wrong? Will he break out or break down?
Brent Hershey
1:21
Hitting too many grounders. Wonder if there's enough "oomph" in the bat right now
Ron
1:22
Beiber is a bit slow out of the gate, any concerns he won’t return to ace status?  K’s are definitely down
Brent Hershey
1:22
At this velo, can be successful but not elite

Would you drop Paredes for JD Davis?
Brent Hershey
1:23
About even for me right now; I'd try to figure out who will get the bigger share of PT going forward.
Katman

Just jumping in here, but my awesome core staff of returning starters -- Alcantara, Woodruff, Kyle Wright, Logan Webb -- looking pretty squishy. Am I ok here, or is it time to restructure.
Brent Hershey
1:24
Might want to take a shot on some strikeout upside, esp with Woodruff down? Don't think you should be in panic mode or anything
Bob
1:25
Would you drop Winker for Soler?
Brent Hershey
1:25
No, unless the side injury is a bigger deal for Winker than they are letting on
Ron

In my league we do not have IL spots. With that said, any reason to hold on to Duvall?
Brent Hershey
1:25
Probably not
Jeff

h2hp - 12 teams - Josh Lowe is on the WW.  Pick him up instead of A. Garcia, T Ward, Soler, Stanton (IL))?
Brent Hershey
1:25
Ward > Lowe; Lowe > the rest
Rob

Is Wander Franco undervalued thus far? Is he a top round pick I'm dynasty formats?
Brent Hershey
1:26
Yes. Yes.

Hi Brent! So glad to have you back.    Do you see Evan Phillips/Graterol getting save chances once Hudson returns?  And what are the odds Frelick gets called up for Brewers this season?
Brent Hershey
1:28
The Hudson love seems to be from a numbers standpoint ... but his health history is -- let's say spotty. Right now would much rather have Phillips and/or Graterol. Frelick should be up at some point unless that MIL OF just all hit.

I am desperate for speed in a 18-team mixed 5x5 but do not want to roster someone who will kill me in other categories. No one is available, other than Mondesi, who is projected for the 3rd most steals ROS! I have a small bench and no IL.Is his upside worth the roster drag? I do not know if he will play every day and run right away.

Is Mondesi worth the 5 week wait?
Brent Hershey
1:29
Yeah, and Mondesi is kinda the definition of SB and kills you in other categories, right? Many many risks of picking him up and stashing -- but in an 18 teamer with a squad desperate for speed, it might just make sense.

AL only rotis. Thoughts on Neto? Seager owner.
Brent Hershey
1:31
Big big risk of shiny new toy with Neto. On the other hand, AL-only options are limited. Might be worth a shot.
Katman

Carlos Carrasco has been released in my 5X5 NL. I'm competing, but he seems like a worthwhile gamble. Worth a shot?
Brent Hershey
1:32
Possibly, but would like to see another OK start out of him before I have to decide. Veteran, good park, good club behind. Probably should be rostered in an NL-only
Ron

What are your thoughts on Grichuk in 5x5 this year? Does he have top 30 upside? He is on my deep league waiver wire with the likes of Kepler and Kiki.
Brent Hershey
1:33
Prob not top 30, but would prefer over Kepler and Kiké, if you're able to wait until he gets back. Still think it can work in Coors.
Brent Hershey
1:34
OK, got to almost all of em! Gotta run, but will def be back next week. Thanks, all -- may your squads stay healthy!
