How many total pitchers would you advise rostering in a 12 team 5x5 (23 players) Yahoo standard
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:01
Depends if it's a daily or weekly league. In a daily league I'd roster extra pitchers so I can cycle in relievers, especially undervalued non-closers like Freddy Peralta and Alex Reyes

Gallen or Santandor as my last round keeper? H2H points league
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:01
As in Zac Gallen? Definitely him

I'm on the clock. Who you like better this season. Positions don't matter. Rizzo, Goldschmidt, Brantley, S.Marte, Altuvie

10 Team Keeper League.  Keeping Cole, Bellinger, Machado, Robert, and Springer.  Picking at 9 and will have my pick of the following SPs.  Any preference?  Strasburg, Maeda, Burnes, Lynn.
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:03
Maeda - he joined Bieber and deGrom as the only 3 SPs to finish top-5 in both xFIP and xERA last season

Thoughts on Alec Bohm this year?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:03
Such a strong hit tool but surprisingly not many homers in his rookie season. I like him. But I like Ke'Bryan Hayes more..

Thoughts on Kikuchi is his spring for real?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:04
It's not just his spring! The underlying stats were encouraging last year and there was an uptick in velocity. He's free in drafts. I'd roll the dice

2:04
in a keeper league are there any injured guys you would target to put on il this yr and have value for next yr?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:04
The big 3 TJ guys - Sale, Syndergaard, Severino
dave in slc
2:05
are there any stars that you are pretty sure will be traded that if you played in an "only" league you would avoid?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:05
I guess Trevor Story is the only one I'd be overly concerned about
Dustino

I need a deep deep AL Only sleeper hitter and pitcher to stash on the bench in a 10 team league that drafts 35 spots? 25 starters and 10 bench
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:05
Taylor Trammell for speed upside. Is that not deep enough though?

What's the first round you take an RP in Standard 5x5 roto with 9 total P spots?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:06
I'm pretty comfortable waiting for the Will Smith / Amir Garrett / Jordan Romano range. Be ready to strike around then
cool 1

who you like better in a Re-draft league Stroman or Berrios?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:06
Stroman's spring has been strong. I think he has more upside
Randy
2:07
castillI or woodruff?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:07
I've really come on board with Woodruff lately. He rated out very strongly according to both FIP and Baseball Savant metrics. The only question with him is workload, as his career-high in the bigs is 121 2/3 IP. But there isn't really reason to think he can't reach 170

Yay or nay on Matt Olson's ADP of 85ish?  I'm seeing experts torn on him.
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:09
I'm saying yay. He had a dreadful BABIP season in 2020. It was .227 after being .292 and .300 the past two years. I wouldn't call him "must-have" but I like him there
UGH Eloy out 5-6 months
John

How much does Ryan Jeffers cut into Mitch Garvers playing time? Is it worth owing both?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:10
Never worth rostering two catchers from the same team unless it's the deepest league. I like Garver for his upside (best fantasy catcher on a per-game basis in 2019)

Is Tim Anderson have enough potential to draft before Bogaerts or Seager?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:11
Not for me. Seager is a borderline first-round hitter who often is available in the third. Seager was GREAT last year and he even under performed his Statcast numbers. And X is just as safe as they come. Still like TA, but he's a tick below those guys, especially Seager

How much does Andrew Vaughn go up with the Eloy injury?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:12
I don't know how much the Eloy injury really changes anything. I was already IN IN on Vaughn. He's a priority late round target in drafts right now. Maybe reach a round earlier than you otherwise would've

Hey Brendan! I am pick 12- in a H2H Roto league.  Is it crazy to reach for a Bauer or Giolito type to ensure I get pitching?  Or should I take the 2 hitters and hope for the best!  Thanks in advance!
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:13
Hello! I'd get at least on SP - Bauer is my preference after the big 3. But make sure you get at least one SP. I'd probably go one SP, one hitter. And I'd probably go at least one SP at the 3/4 turn as well
John
2:13
Does Amir Garrett have the CIN closers job, and do you see him keeping it all year? Thanks, Brendan great job.
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:14
Hey John, and thanks! The Reds haven't officially named him closer but it certainly looks like the job is his. He had a minor forearm issue but has struck out all six batters he has faced this spring (LOL). Meanwhile, Lucas Sims is pitching again but hasn't looked as sharp. Garrett might be my favorite reliever target in saves-only leagues right now

What are your thoughts on Josh Bell having a bounce back season?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:15
His spring has been encouraging, and he was an in-game video guy from last season. I'm not banking on it. I'd rather just draft Andrew Vaughn later to fill first base. But if I drafted Bell, which is reasonable at his ADP, I'd also want to get a backup plan like Vaughn

h2h Keeper league. i have Acuna, Tatis, Devers, Tucker and Alvarez. Also have 1st overall in the draft. Should i take Gleyber Torres for the future, or draft someone like Abreu, Lemahieu or Giolito instead?
