I'm in a 12 team league and missed out on all the top closers in my auction draft. Any suggestions for some middle relievers who might be on the waiver wire and can help out with ERA/WHIP (and maybe find themselves in the closer role later in the season)?
AvatarBrendan Tuma

Nick Wittgren is a bit under the radar and could get saves right away. As for middle relief, Alex Reyes and Garrett Crochet should both provide great ratios but I'm not sure they'll get saves. Closers will emerge as the year goes on, don't worry!

I'm in a 10 team head to head categories league. I have the tenth pick in this weekend's draft. With back to back picks in the first round, is it worth it to go with these pocket aces that will most likely fall to me: Bieber and Bauer. Or take Bieber and pair him with a position player like Jose Ramirez, Freeman, Yelich etc? Help...
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:54
Definitely take Bieber if he falls to you. But I'd prefer one SP and one bat

What steps should I take after losing Eloy for basically the whole year😭. Any players to target on waviers ?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:56
Losing Eloy SUCKS but don't let it kill your drive. There will be other big injuries and players who break out throughout the season. It can be overcome, don't worry. It's tough to name a specific player to target without knowing your league. Pouncing on prospects early could be a good way to net a big profit

Do you think I should keep Cookie and add him to my IR or see what I could get for him in a trade 10 team H2H points league?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:57
Depends on the types of offers you get for him. I'm more than alright with floating him in trade talks as I never like to roster injured players

How are you viewing David Dahl in Texas?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:57
Nothing more than a DEEP sleeper. I'll wait for him to get off to a hot start before considering him as a waiver pickup
6:59
Alright folks, my hour here is up. I'm turning you over to Andrew Gould for now, who is going to take us to the finish line!!

Andrew - it's all you my man
Andrew Gould

Hey everyone! Looks like I'm last in the batting order. Like all pitchers, we'd be better off replacing me with a DH. (Not bitter at all about drafting Gallen last weekend.

7:01
Everyone seems to love Ty France as a later round guy. How high would you draft him?
Andrew Gould
7:02
Nothing like a strong spring to up the hype. I was in on them early in the offseason, cooled on him a bit, but am slowly climbing back. If you're getting him as a bench pick in a 12-team mixed league, go for it.
Daniel
7:02
Thoughts on Sam Hilliard maybe rebounding from last year's debacle in the thin air of Coors?
Andrew Gould
7:03
There was so much hype on him last year and seemingly none this year. That means he's going to break out, right? He's only a bit interesting because of Coors, but I'm intrigued as a late flier.

Yahoo 12 team traditional 5 x 5 league. Semien becomes 2nd base eligible after five games. Where do you rank him among second second baseman after he becomes eligible?
Andrew Gould
7:05
I'd put him just a hair behind the likes of McNeil, Muncy, and Moustakas. I've been drafting him a lot liking his potential as a boring compiler at the top of the Blue Jays lineup.

I got the 9th pick in a 10 man h2h points league thinking about drafting yelich in the first round and nola in the second do you think I'm reaching at all?
Andrew Gould
7:07
Nola may be a bit of a reach. I wouldn't laugh at you for getting your guy as long as deGrom, Cole, and Bieber are gone, since there's no clear-cut SP4. While I'd personally target Cole, Story, or J-Ram at pick No. 9, Yelich isn't all that far behind.
Blessed with talent
7:07
Can only keep 5 though, So Acuna, Betts, then Bellinger/Seager/Nola/Flaherty?
Andrew Gould
7:08
Realizing now I might be missing an earlier part of this conversation. Just in a vacuum with no further details, Flaherty would be the odd man out.

7:09
I'm picking 10th in a 12 team 5x5. Bat or Bieber in the 1st?
Andrew Gould
7:11
This is tricky. I'd rather have Story or J-Ram or Bieber, but that will be your only chance at Bieber, and I'm not sold on Bauer, Darvish or any other SP in the early 2nd. I'd only pass on Bieber if you comfortable going hitter-hitter and getting your first SP in the 3rd or 4th.
Daniel
7:11
Who is the guy currently going in first rounds that you are the most down on?
Andrew Gould
7:12
This goes hand in hand with the last question, but it's probably Bieber. Although I don't think he's a bust, it also wouldn't shock me if he gets hit hard a few times and isn't a front-line fantasy ace.
Daniel
7:12
Do you see Rafael Montero holding the closing gig in Seattle all year?
Andrew Gould
7:14
How many closers can we truly trust to keep the job all year? Montero is OK. If he's really good, the Mariners are probably trading him to a contender where he's a setup man. I'm fine taking him as a second closer who won't break the bank, but I wouldn't bet on him being Seattle's closer from start to finish. The start might be good enough though.

I am playing in a head to head keeper league. And I have the option to keep zac gallen or Jesus lizardo. Was going to keep gallen until I heard about the injury. What are your thought?
Andrew Gould
7:16
This could depend on league settings. Can you keep them forever? Is there any cost in terms of auction dollars/draft pick? I'm leaning Luzardo. I'd rather not deal with the short-term headache of Gallen's health, and Luzardo may still have a higher long-term ceiling.
Daniel
7:17
Over/Under on Mondesi SBs:  40
Andrew Gould
7:19
Over, but I'm still too much of a chicken to gamble on his high-risk profile in the 2nd or 3rd round. Even if he doesn't bottom out entirely, I'm worried about him getting buried down the lineup once KC realizes that a career .284 OBP is bad.
Guest
7:19
If I keep gallen he would cost a 13th round draft pick and if I keep luzardo he would cost a 17th round draft pick in snake.
Andrew Gould
7:20
OK, so you're still getting a nice discount on Gallen (would have been an easier choice before the injury). But I'm a big Luzardo fan so might just roll the dice there.
Daniel
7:20
Why does Schoop not get more love as a tasty little under-the-radar gem?  Little cost and 20 dingers?  Sign me up!
Andrew Gould
7:21
100% agree! Boring veterans get no love sometimes. An especially good depth piece in a 15 team or larger league.
Fred
7:21
Which Yankees pitcher do you think will have the second most fantasy points this year after Gerrit Cole?
Andrew Gould
7:23
Montgomery. They're all huge injury risks, but J-Mont is at least younger and further removed from his. If you could tell me they will all pitch the same amount of innings, I'd go Kluber.
Guest
7:23
What round would you draft Freddy Peralta now that he'll be in starting rotation?
