Royce Lewis started his rehab assignment, is he blocked though now?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:00
I think they'll make room

nola (possible 2 start?) cease, giolito, freddy peralta, logan webb, bibee are 2 start guys this week, need 4
Nicklaus Gaut
1:03
Webb, Cease, Bibee, Peralta
Uh-oh
1:03
Taj Bradley got seriously roughed-up in 2 straight minor league starts.  He's occupying key spot on my bench.  Would you drop him?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:03
I think you can justify if the spot is really needed.
Who really knows when those wacky Rays will bring him back up?
RD
1:04
Do you drop Jordan Walker now? I got him for $11, +$5 next year. I dont mind holding for a bit but with the Contreras news, it's harder to see him coming back up in a matter of weeks. Only have 5 bench spots.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:04
I'd keep him but wouldn't count on a ton ROS, barring an injury

Who finishes the season as the Braves' primary SS?
Nicklaus Gaut

Arcia

Is Eloy Jimenez the unluckiest 90+ RBI machine in the MLB?  Thanks for answering a few of mine!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:04
I just can't
1:05
It's so annoying
I have him in an NFBC gladiator (no bench, no FAAB) and my team is amazing - even with him and stupid Brendan Rodgers being out all year
Turang
1:06
Time to cut him from my bench subs?  What could I get for him in a trade.  I offered him for Greinke
Nicklaus Gaut
1:06
He's cuttable. Not sure what you'd be able to get in a trade

Who do you prefer in a roto league - Logan Gilbert or Christian Javier?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:06
Javier
Rate my OF
1:06
Castellanos, Betts, Bellinger, Bryant
Nicklaus Gaut
1:07
7.83/10.1
Rox

How would you rank: Haniger, JD Davis, Grichuk and Kiriloff? Have the latter two on my IL and have to activate or cut.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:07
Given health (big given!) I prefer Kiriloff the most and think the rest are in a similar bucket.
1:08
But I also would be keeping Grichuck because it feels like a classic "Randall is on fire!" streak is coming.

Paxton coming back. What to expect?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:10
Velo and innings are up. I suspect we'll get something similar to prior stretches...Some really good 'five-and-dives' that trick everyone into buying back in, right before he hits the IL again.

Helping my son in a 12 team 5x5 league. We have Trout and his friend has Trea Turner. His friend wants to swap. Before the season, yeah no brainer. Now I’m not so sure. Thoughts?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:11
That's a fair deal. If your son is on board, go ahead
Big Red Machine
1:11
Strand or De La Cruz gonna be the keeper?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:12
Strand in the short term, probably DLC in the long
RAGBRAI
1:12
Does Doyle put up numbers to stay up for the year or is he riding the shuttle all year?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:12
Shuttlin' it!
Bibee
1:12
Am I worth holding?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:12
As long as he's in the rotation. And definitely for this week
Keller
1:14
Does he continue his breakout?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:14
Relative to being a Pirate, sure!
He's going to be so good for the Rays tho
Reds guy
1:14
Number one waiver in NL only roto league: save it for Strand, Masyn Wynn, or De La Cruz assuming all come up this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:14
I would - and in that order
