In 50 years, who are people going to look back on as the better player, Judge or Ohtani?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
It should be Ohtani because he's a majestic unicorn whose aura could save the world
but it'll probably be Judge if he hits more home runs
RAGBRAI
11:43
Encarnacion or Maurici better ROS? Long term?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:44
Encarnacion for both
Guest

What do you make of Jac Caglianone?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:44
crazy elite
all he does is hit-hit, no matter what-what
RAGBRAI
11:45
E Perez should be back by next week. How do you see his ROS? Next year? NL only for $3.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:46
good enough to pickup for that price but likely someone you stream from your bench
Pepiot say can you see
11:46
Thanks! Given that, would you swap Gavin Williams for Adley Rutschman? (2C, AL obp league)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:46
100%
Holy Hot Garbage, Batman!
11:47
How long do I waste a bench spot on Alcantara? Sure he just recorded his first QS since April 23, but it was the Rockies in Miami, so I could probably have recorded a QS
Nicklaus Gaut
11:47
Until you need it for a non-corpse?

Rebuilding team and already have a deep roster of inf/SS prospects (Walcott, de vries, Griffin if he stays there). Would Felnin celesten for somewhat of a buy low in cam smith make sense? The raw tools seem to be there but the production hasn’t matched
Nicklaus Gaut
11:48
Given your prospect depth, I'd do that deal
Felnin looks good but history's prospect graveyard is littered with 19-year-olds who didn't work out
Strategy
11:49
What do you think of a strategy of largely scrapping SPs and loading up on dominant middle relievers for wipeout ratios and vultured wins? Like Wheeler/Brown to lead the staff and then all relievers? (Yahoo categories 5x5)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
Yeah, I'm a big fan and deploy it often
11:50
I'll get an ace, a solid #2, and a top RP, then wait and grab a bunch of solid but backend starters and elite middle RPs on good teams
Big Red Machine
11:51
How do we value Nick Lodolo at this point? The strikeouts haven’t been there but he’s been good for a little while now?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:51
Still loving my fellow Nick
Don't love how much his K's have dropped but it's at least come with a subsequent drop in walks
11:52
take out one 7-run blowup and he'd have elite ratios right now

St. Louis Cardinals
Dilemma
11:52
Kristian Campbell was just dropped in my league, is he worth a speculative roster spot?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:53
I would, if you got the room
Mike
11:54
points league going forward who do you like better A. Pivetta vs Schwellenbach, B. Caminero v Michael Busch?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:54
Schwellenbach and Caminero
OF 4 Dayz
11:54
In a 5x5 keeper league with OBP, is it worth rostering Hassell III, Cowser, and Anthony when my OF currently consists of Wood, Carroll, and Acuna? We only have LF, CF, and RF slots and a Utility slot, so only 4 can play at a time
Nicklaus Gaut
11:55
Anthony, yes. The others, no
Catching Streamers
11:55
Herrera or Ramirez ROS? Which one long term if both are league minimum keepers next year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:56
I try to avoid getting in bed with Marlins/catchers
but I think I'd take Ramirez for both
Guest
11:57
How dominant is Andrew Painter going to be?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:57
Too early to say but he's certainly in that class of maybe-Aces
11:58
Unfortunately, I suspect his fantasy impact won't be monstrous this season
Getting Suspicious
11:58
This Brandon Woodruff thing is getting ridiculous. Is he ever coming back and is he going to make an impact when he does?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:58
His rehab is dark and mysterious
