With Gusto
12:02
Nice start from Gusto last night. Are you believing in a deep league or should I go with a reliever?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:02
No, keep riding, especially in a deep league
vs DET next looks very playable

Can Caminero be a 40-homer guy as soon as this season?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:03
he could but I don't think he will be
hard to hit 40 HR with 60% GB%
12:04
but the definately has the pop to do so
Guest

What can we realistically expect from Acuña when he returns? Probably lower stolen bases but will the power still be there?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:05
I would still bank on the same ol' power once he gets going - all the dude has ever done is crush lasers, I'm happy betting on a continuence
he said, currently holding Acuna in his two leagues with an IL

how much of an improvement can we expect from Joey Ortiz? Would you rather have him or Novelli Marte in a keeper league?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:07
better than what he is now but probably not much better than in 2024?
I'd rather have Marte
Guest

Is Tommy Edman for real? Seems like he flipped a switch since going to the Dodgers
Nicklaus Gaut
12:08
man, i think so
not that he was ever not for real (real) but the Dodgers pixie power dust is apparently real
12:09
xStats and EVs better than he's ever had (and over a decent chunk of batted balls), no major regression red flags (he has a .224 BABIP!), and is in the best lineup in baseball
12:10
gotta say it's real until it's not
what a draft steal
me = 0 shares

in an AL-Only league, would you rather pay through the nose for 5 months of Kurtz or wait to see who moves over from the NL around the deadline?
Duder
12:10
2025 Kurtz ~ 2015 Kris Bryant? Too little dev time to be that (200-ish pro PA vs full season 750-ish)? Soderstrom LF experiment needs to work too, I suppose.
Nicklaus Gaut
12:10
gimme the nose

12 team roto 6x6 w/ OPS and Holds respectively. My hitters are frosty from top — Pasquantino, Yordan, Gunnar, Trout, Jazz, Tovar (pre-inj), etc. — to bottom — Buxton, Rengifo, and Realmuto.  It’s early and my greats have to start hitting to be competitive but how long do I wait for those bottom feeders to come around before shopping on the wire? Is 100 at bats fair sample
Nicklaus Gaut
12:11
close but I'd still wait before making big decisions.
I really like getting in the 150ish PA range to take numbers more seriously
12:12
that's about when all the plate-discipline and batted-ball numbers start stabilizing and can be more trusted
North Pole
12:12
size?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:12
As big as you imagine Santa's belly to be
Not a Brewers Fan
12:13
H2H Categories league - I picked up Jose Quinatna this past week and everything is great except for the absolute lack of strikeouts. How much does that hurt his value if I am looking to trade him? Do you have any interest?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:13
In a trade, probaby not
unlikely to bring a lot back unless he really goes on a run
Guest
12:13
Any thoughts on Brandon Woodruff? Seems like he’s been out forever but he used to be really good
Nicklaus Gaut
12:14
I don't trust dudes post-shoulder surgery until they prove something
Okeedokee, it's way later than I thought
Guest
12:15
Is Tatis really the best player in fantasy now? Seems like he’s putting it all together again
Nicklaus Gaut
12:15
Nah but he's top-five ish
Rae
12:16
Thoughts on Agustin Ramirez? Any interest in one catcher head to head category leagues?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:16
Definately interesting if they're going to commit to playing time/middle of the order
12:17
sexy fantasy tools for a catcher
