Is Nolan Arenado washed? Or should we be buying low?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:22
Keep buying, corner turn is coming

With about 1/6 of the baseball season gone, Gunnar Henderson and Lance Lynn have been disappointments to put it mildly.  I'm in a 12-team points keeper league.  Is it time to drop one or both of them either via trade or the waiver wire when one of my players comes off the disabled list?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:24
I think they should both be held for another couple of weeks though I could see moving on from Lynn in a 12-team if you really need the slot
James
12:24
In a bind in saves only, please rank Kimbrel, Z. Jackson or Ian Hamilton. Thanks, Nicklaus.
Nicklaus Gaut
12:24
Jackson...Kimbrel, Hamilton

Who do you think will start for the Pirates tomorrow against the Rockies? Ortiz or somebody else?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:25
All of my draft-and-hold stashes want it to be Ortiz but I'm taking the field
Joe Hardy.
12:25
Who closes for the Yankees?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:26
I think King will get a chance to run with it but a committee seems to be the favorite
@AfterHomePlate

With the Guardians putting Oscar Gonzalez in the Minors, could this be a sign he could be traded in the next window?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:27
I think they're just giving him a chance to work things out. Not sure what his trade value would be at this point.

When will Christian encarnacion-strand get called up?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:29
Early June unless Steer just continues to crumble/Votto still can't play
Mike
12:29
I need to move on either Nathaniel Lowe or Andrew Vaughn.  Which one?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:30
Vaughn
by a lot

battle of the dodgers younguns, who would you rather have for this year and next: Vargas or Outman
Nicklaus Gaut
12:30
Outman
Never been a big Vargas fan

Buying or selling Brent Rooker the remainder of the season?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:31
Buying thought there is probably some BA pain coming
Arenado
12:31
Is Nolan Arenado washed? Or is he worth a buy low offer?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:31
Buy low
Mike

Should we hold on to Jordan Walker in re-draft leagues?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:32
Probably not given the Contreras news. Too many mouths at the big league level and he's gotta figure the outfield out first. Better to do it at the minors.
Phil Helmuth
12:32
More saves rest of season: Alvarado or Puk?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:32
Puk. But I love me some Alvarado.
12:33
He's just not going to be the auto-9th guy every night and will see a lot of 7th/8th vs tough lefties/heart of order
Big T
12:34
Edward Cabrera or Contraras as a 4th SP rest of season?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:34
Ehh, close but I lean Cabrera
Pepe LePeuw
12:34
Reading between the lines it seems there is a cancer in the White Sox dugout. Without really knowing who the culprit is will that make it more risky to pick up their top players in a trade or on the waiver wire?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:34
Nah, I wouldn't let it affect your decisions.
But there definately seems to be a culture issue
12:35
They should just bring back the veteran leadership of TLR to right the ship!
Perfecto
12:35
How do you feel about Bryce Miller?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:36
A lot of K potential but I think the hype got a little of control
Guest

how many extra bench hitters do you have on your rosters?   Compared to how many pitchers normally.
Nicklaus Gaut
12:38
I generally fill up with a lot of bench pitchers, keeping 1-2 hitters (most of my benches are ~5/6 deep). I'd just rather be able to stream pitching from my bench without having to worry about the wire too much.

Rank Sale, Giolito, Kirby, Severino, H. Brown ROS in roto
