I thought he'd be at least a keepable streamer
Yeah, he's droppable as needed
Moment of Zen
11:17
(Lorenzen is @stl next and I'm feeling the urge to stream him yet again...)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:18
but also, I might do that too lol
Double C
11:18
Did Slade Cecconi fake an injury to replace his LAD/@NYY matchups with LAA/@HOU? If so, he's even a better player to roster than I thought!
Nicklaus Gaut
11:18
IIt's the only thing that makes sense - Next level thinking
RP

I love Matt Brash, but the m's are being careful with his usage. Better to swap for more volume (varland, zeferjahn) or hold him? Saves only league.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:19
Usually I'd rather have the volume but I'm a big Brash fan
11:20
gimme him - the M's will take the gloves off eventually and he should remain one of the best setup guys
He's the DJ
11:20
Hi! Daily obp league glue guy: dj lemahieu or jorge mateo?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:20
Hey Mr. DJ
11:21
I"m really attacking the younger demographics with early-2000s Madonna drops
He's the DJ
11:21
Did you know "lemahieu" in French means "the mahieu"?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:21
I didn't -- thank you for the edification!
11:22
Also, for one of my all-time favorite bits, google "chris farley el nino"
"The...NINO!"
Taylor Made
11:23
If any team can rejuvenate Chris Taylor it's the Halos, right? At least give me a Chris Taylor Ward promotion of some kind.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
They are historically known for their general player development
It's a failure of marketing if they don't do a combo jersey promotion
Gibson
11:23
Does Tampa turn Kyle Gibson into something useful or are they just trolling Joe Boyle?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:24
I'm sure he's about to run a 2.00 ERA because Tampa lol
but really, they're not trolling Boyle -- it's us they're f'ing with
11:25
Tampa Bay hates fantasy players - this is known - and purposely make decisions to make our lives harder
fact
2 min - just got home

How real is Ivan Herrera’s start? Is he just a top-5 catcher now?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:28
Top-five is probably a small stretch but I do think it's for real
11:29
great discipline, makes a lot of good contact, and aggressively hammers balls in the zone
11:30
Mix in a well-rounded fantasy profile that's driven by a high AVG that he's basically always ran, and you have great fantasy asset

Is it time to be worried about Jackson Chourio and the K/BB issues?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
Nah, I'm not worried - think it might just be an adjustment period
11:32
and while his K's have gone up, his SwStr% on non-fastballs (especially offspeed stuff) is dropping
11:33
AKA I'm fine that he's been whiffing more on fastballs lately
Guest
11:35
How useful will Jac Caglianone be this year? Is he a priority target?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
He will be useful but the Royals have been pretty steady on not wanting to rush him to the majors and I worry it won't come until Julyish
11:37
He's destroying the minors but is also chasing a ton/had a bad two-strike approach
The call-up could come sooner if he quickly gets those things ironed out against more advanced pitching but I don't think the Royals will call him up until he's really proven it
Guest

What is Andrew Painter’s upside this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
Assuming no injury? Maybe 50 IP?
11:40
Barring an injury (and maybe more than one), I don't think the Phillies call him up pre-ASB
