Nicklaus Gaut

I'd probably hold. he'll still get lots of PAs in a good lineup/park
11:25
I could see swapping for Murphy if he continues tanking but I don't exactly love him either
And Kelly looks great but is still splitting with Amaya
Trot
11:25
Another year of waiting until August for Matt Olsen to start hitting?  Is this just how it’s gonna be from now on?   Currently playing Michael Bush over him…
Nicklaus Gaut
11:25
It's so annoying
11:26
We know you're gonna hit, man -- can you please just spread it out a little?
Bob

Jung is having a good start since coming back from the injury. Do you think he's worth a roster spot a 12 team league to see if he can keep this up?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
Yeah definately
11:27
I've always loved everything about his game
except for his health
which, as it turns out, can be super important!
RAGBRAI
11:28
If no Megill in Milwaukee, who is the closer or is it by committee?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:28
Committee
11:29
but I suspect they'll go back to him quickly as soon as he proves his command is back under control
closers tend to struggle when rolling with a 7.8 BB/9
Bob
11:30
12 teamer H2H points with strikeout penalty and a very short bench. Stott is my last player on the roster, would you drop him to stream players on a hot streak instead?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:30
No, I'd hold
He's a terrific asset with a strikeout penalty
Povich
11:31
I share your interest in LL Ortiz. Pick him up for Povich? Povich has a 500 babip but decent underlying numbers...
Nicklaus Gaut
11:32
I'd rather have Povich
I'm a fan of him too
Geno
11:33
Marte might be back in early May. I'll need to drop someone and have a lot of positional flexibility. Is Geno that guy? If he's still not hitting, Lawlar will be biting at the bit to replace him in real life right?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
If you don't have a better drop, sure
11:36
but I wouldn't give up on him too soon. Underlying numbers still look a lot like the old
still hits it really hard, often pulled and in the air
11:37
they'll come
yo Nicky you so fine
11:37
I want more shares of Cubs hitting
Nicklaus Gaut
11:37
yeah, I'm with you
11:38
already kind of do, though
drafted a lot of Tucker, Happ, Swanson, Hoerner
RAGBRAI
11:39
Does Marte have any worth in Cincy? NL only 5x5 11 teams. Or is he sent back down soon?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:40
I'll say yes because I'm generally Team "just about anyone currently playing has value in only-leagues"
but also, he's probably getting sent down in the not too distant future
Rae
11:42
What’s up with Bohm and Joc Pederson? Any causes for concern?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
not with Bohm, mostly because when nothing jumps out this early, it's usually better to err on the side of "it's early"-ness
Peterson, on the other hand
I don't know what the hell is wrong with him
11:44
The guy who made a career off of pulling the ball really hard in the air is now pounding everyihing into the ground, really weakly
fastballs are eating his lunch -- again super unusual given his history
Rae
11:46
Nick Kurtz is a must add when called up right? Or even consider stashing now? I tend to be skeptical of just about all rookies but his power potential in Sacramento seems like a real good setup. Also Tork is the only 1B on my roster at the moment so I could use some 1B depth
