but he finally dropped his GB% last season and is upping his EVs -- this is worth paying attention to
counterpoint: CHW
Sunny’s

What’s the deal with Pete Crow-Armstrong’s slow start? Hype train failure, or it’s been four games, dude?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:14
four games, dude
11:15
still has 3 runs and an SB so you can't be to-ooo sad

AL-only question: I have Munoz, Brieske, L. Jackson, Joyce, and L. Weaver.  In our league, it's Saves + Holds/2.  Would you drop any of those for Cleavinger (TB), T. Ferguson, Leasure, or M. Montgomery?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:15
I'd rather have Cleavinger over Brieske

Keep Casas or drop for Manzardo?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:16
Ahh, where "never liked that guy" meets "you shouldn't make any rash decisions after four games"
11:17
I've never liked Casas (and like Manzardo) but I'm probably trying not to Casas so early, unless I have to
11:18
Depends on league depth - I'm holding Casas in 12-team and deeper, but could see rolling the dice on Manzardo in shallower leagues

Can you have "too many" position players from one team?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:18
I don't think it matters much when you're talking about everyday starters
11:19
It would only concern me when dealing with guys who'll likely be cannibalizing each other's PAs
Rae
11:19
Which of these SP's interest you most? Verlander, Max Meyer, Tylor Megill, Boyd, Leiter, Ben Brown and Paddack?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:19
Boyd
I like Brown too but the arsenal is limited
11:20
But Boyd **Again, EARLY alert!!** is up velo and that's always interesting
Especially since I've never re-eallly been able to quit him
11:21
average four-seam was about a tick higher than it's ever been, and he hit 95mph three times after doing it just once last season
again EARLY!!!
Rae
11:21
How would you rank Conforto, Aranda and Torkelson? Bummed I missed out on Soderstrom
Nicklaus Gaut
11:22
Conforto > Tork (also, just can't quit lol) > Aranda
Rae
11:22
How concerned are you about Ranger Suarez's back injury reoccurrence?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
I'm always concerned about my sweet Ranger
but yes, more so now
especially given how vague they now turned in regards to his timeline
"sometime in April"...awesome, thanks Dombrowski

In H2H points, would you go with a possible two-start Jackson Jobe, or Sonny Gray?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:24
Gray
I'm hesitant to trust a young pitcher early in H2H. A start against CHW is great but he's gotta get through SEA first and that's not a start  I love
Dregs
11:25
Your advice was greatly needed BEFORE the draft.  Now my crappy team may be beyond even your expertise.  My bullpen is one of my glaring weaknesses in a 14-team HtoH league.  Among the following relief "dregs", who would you take a flyer on?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:25
I'm SORRY!!!
If it makes you feel any better, the timing literally could not have been worse, considering how busy I am in March
but I did miss you
Dregs
11:26
Oops, hit Enter.  Dregs that remain:  Tyler/TayloreRogers, Emilio Pagan, Dennis Santana, Scott Barlow, Kahnle, Vodnik, Uceta, Whitlock, Weissert.  Yep, the RP class is very picked over in my league.  Do you see any from this group or any sleeper who might nab some saves?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
I think Uceta and Santana are your best bets by a bit
john
11:26
With an injury to Civale and only 2 healthy starters available can we expect to see Quintana on the mound by the end of the week?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
They have to, right?
If the Richard Fitts
11:27
Is this early showing for Wilyer Abreu a mirage?
