I've always though Davis was more likely to be the one eventually moved.
Nate
4:13
How worried should I be as a Gunnar Henderson owner?  I don't get to watch many Orioles games, but the stats look bad early on.  He had pretty high expectations in my OBP league - will this work itself out or should I be looking for other options?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:14
Very worried. I was out on him for price reasons but also because he's never shown once that he can handle LHP.
And he's proved it in the majors. Along with RHP, though.

Are Winker and Will Myers just lost souls or do you see some potential to improve?  Would Dom Fletcher look better than either?  Thanks.
Nicklaus Gaut
4:15
Winker: lost
Myers still has value but I'd rather have Fletcher and see if he sticks long-term
Mitz

I'm in a 10 team NL only League and right now my biggest hole is at 2B where I have Jean Segura.  Are you expecting a bounceback or should I be looking elsewhere? Any prospects that might qualify as 2B here soon?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:17
Probably have to hold in NL-only. Been brutal but sets up for a decent week.

I have 4 relievers getting saves in various amounts of competency and frequency. Romano, Tor (25); Estevez, LAA (5); Lange, Det (5) and Jackson, Oak (5). Standard Roto, auction League, 260 budget limit, 10 keepers each year. Amounts in brackets are current salaries. I need Hr's and RBI's. Been offered E Duran for Estevez but don't think that helps me. Owner has Sal Perez and Renfroe. Would one of them be a fair trade for one of my closers?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:19
That Duran trade doesn't help you. Could ma-aybe get Perez for Romano (depending on their team context) but I'd shoot for Lange/Renfroe first.
Brash Decisions
4:19
I have a $1 Matt Brash making me crazy in AL only. His underlying numbers/statcast page are lovely but he HBP'd a run yesterday. Should I try to unload for a Larnach-level hitter and/or cut for a streaming arm (Houck, K. Middleton are representative SP/RPs on the wire)? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
4:20
I'd drop him for Houck
Arms Race
4:20
Any of these arms particularly sexy to you? Canning, Houck, Paxton, Bradish? All on the wire in AL only so maybe they are streamers.
Nicklaus Gaut
4:20
Paxton for sure
He'll get hurt eventually but should get some good value until then
4:21
I like Houck too
Bob Ob
4:21
Rooker has great numbers but no one is taking him.  Do they know something I don’t?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:21
It's called Christian Walker disease
It's a real disease, with doctors and everything
4:22
No reason he should be on any wires at this point

Ohtani has two starts this week … pitching at Baltimore, and at home against Minnesota. in a league where one must select in advance (today) for the week whether Ohtani is a hitter OR a pitcher, is this a MUST START week as a pitcher?  Thanks for stepping in for Bradley.
Nicklaus Gaut
4:22
Absolute must-start
Hogjaz
4:23
Are the A's going to play JJ Bleday or platoon him?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:23
Platoon City - Hasn't started vs an LHP yet.
Johnnie
4:24
Would you give up Hader to get Lindor?  I’m strong on relief but getting killed on RBIs
Nicklaus Gaut
4:24
Yeah, that's a fair swap
4:25
Getting ready to shop Hader myself in the RotoBaller staff league where I'm flush on closers but few home runs
Working to hard can give you a Larnach ach ach
4:25
Do you think Larnach can stay up this time? Love the barrels, hate the swingholes.
Nicklaus Gaut
4:25
Swing holes, or not, he's probably up for awhile given how MIN outfielders are dropping
Arms Race
4:25
Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
4:26
You're welcome!
Evan Carter
4:28
How good am I?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:28
Pretty good! Already had a high fantasy floor given the high-OBP skillset and speed but the power has shown up more than expected in Double-A so far
Schmidt's Creek
4:28
Would you start Clarke Schmidt @CIN in AL only? Is he a cut for Houck?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:29
I'd start him in Cincy
Wishful
4:29
Can Kopech get things turned around?
Nicklaus Gaut
4:30
Very few hopes here
Just can't stop walking people
Will in Westport
4:32
Have you heard/seen any time line for Drew Waters coming off the IL?  How about Oswaldo Peraza?
