White Sox

The White Sox pen is full of holes. Even Clevenger is no longer owned in my AL Only. Should he be?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
NO!
I love hating on Clevinger
Don't roster him - he's terrible
11:43
You'll only be courting doom

Aforementioned Trent Grisham/Ty France/Brendan Rodgers morass is the kind of Melendez replacement I’d be looking at.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
I'd take any of them over Melendez
In that order

I'm in a shallow league (10 teams), but the combo of an auction draft and keepers (up to 5 kept at +$5 cost) makes finding good young studs a worthy endeavor - how long should I roster someone like Cam Smith before giving up on him in case he turns out to be the next [insert good young player]?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:45
Until the potential replacement has a better chance to be special
I take these things on a case-by-case basis
11:47
In a shallow league, I'm only trying to develop the top-tier of prospects so for a guy like Cam Smith (excellent milb numbers, good organization, currently on a good major league offense), it would take a really good prospect for me to pivot away from him for

Thoughts on James Wood this year? I’m light on pitching and deep on batters so I’m tempted to try and flip Wood for someone like Schwellenbach or Peralta
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
I like him for this year (though I thought his draft price was a bit much) but he's the type of big name/less-proven production bat that I'd be comfortable with flipping to make an overall team improvement

In my 12 team H2H points league Ober and Bibee were dropped after the bad start. Would you pick either of them over Lodolo?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:50
Bibee for sure
11:51
I could see a case for Ober over Lodolo too but his early velo isn't exactly excitingf
Rae

Luis Robert Jr was just dropped in my league. I was out on him during draft season but his upside is obvious. What do you think of him? I don’t need OFs but could probably fit him onto my roster
Nicklaus Gaut
11:51
Gotta grab that upside if you have any sort of reasonable drop
11:52
I'm out on him every year, but on the wire is just silly

Tin Man!
Nicklaus Gaut
11:52
oh man, you're so close
Marte Trade
11:53
I have a guy offering me Marte cause I have an open IL spot but he wants Pitching. I have: Skenes, Yamamoto, Sasaki, Gallen, Webb, Sandy, DeGrom, Jobe, Flaherty, Megill, Peterson, Framber, and Luzardo. Who would you dangle for Marte? I sorta feel like all my pitchers are better than Marte since he's just as likely to be out half a season....
Nicklaus Gaut
11:54
I agree -- it wouldn't be prudent to involve most of those guys in a trade for Ketel
11:55
start with a combo of the low-end guys and go up your list until he says yes
I mean, does Sasaki + Jobe get it done?
11:56
Cause I'd do that in hot sec
RAGBRAI

Crews and Young is Was. Just April or real concerns?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:56
Just April
for now
I've never been super high on Crews but I still give a long leash
Mike
11:57
What prospects are worth stashing who will come up when service time permits control for another year? Thats usually around late April correct?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:58
Times is running out for teams to call up prospects to make them eligible for the prospect promotion incentive pick and I'm not sure we'll see any this season
11:59
no wait, Veen got called up
12:00
most of the other big names will be held off into we get more into May but Roman Anthony might beat that
12:01
best pitcher will be Bubba Chandler but early-May is probably best-case

What's up with Drake Baldwin with the Braves? Is he droppable?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:01
Drop!
Red Sox Fan

Connor Wong or Drake Baldwin ROS
