Sorry for all the texts, didn't realize hitting Enter would send it, instead of dropping down a line.

No sweat!

I've been rostering Hererra and Agustin Ramirez all year in a 12 tm H2H categories, usually starting both but playing matchups when I can. But with one week left, I see Trout, Burger, Teoscar Hernandez, and Brenton Doyle all available. Is there a clear H2H upgrade for this weekend and the final week?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:40
grab Teoscar, as fast as you can!
honestly prefer all of them, outside of Burger, over Herrera
11:41
but Teo is prime pickings

I bid my full FAAB to get Cam Smith in that first waiver period between the draft and the start of the season. I beat out half the league to get him, and have held onto him all season long. Coincidentally, I am not in the playoffs (though I think Mookie Betts carries more of the blame there).

Is Cam Smith even worth keeping at a cost of $5 at this point? Is there any reason to believe that he'll take a leap next season?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
not at $5, he's not
though, I'm not saying I'm completely out -- he is 22
but no need to keep him at that price

J Ortiz or Kim (Atl) better for’26 in an NL only 5x5 with 11 teams?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:44
I'm going with Kim, given a starting role
the guy just can't stop from giving good overall value, at the end of the day

In a playoff matchup in category leagues, who would you want at catcher the next 10 days between Perez, Moreno, Wilson Contreras and Baldwin?

Keeper league and next year is the last year I can keep Judge. Should I try and trade him in the off season?  Thinking of taking a run a Bazanna and someone else.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:47
I see the appeal, and a lot of it would depend on what you think your (realistic) chances are in 2026
if you plan on being competitive, I'd entertain shopping him, but it would take something huge
1 to 10 scale
11:47
How much you believe in the Michael Harris rebound over the last two months

In a svhd league would you rank these RPs in this order? Duran > Abreu > D Williams ?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:50
yep, that's the right order
with huge gaps iinbetween each
RAGBRAI
11:51
Do you think Kim opts in or goes FA route?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:52
is that a player option?
11:53
nice!
he's gone
have to imagine he'll get something multi-year with a $16 mil aav

Can you put these streams in order of confidence for lowering ERA & WHIP ratios, and 1-2 QS: Cavalli, M Keller, Ginn, Elder
Nicklaus Gaut
11:55
Ginn > Keller > Cavalli > Elder
Guarded Indian
11:55
sorry i meant, Cannot keep Judge
Nicklaus Gaut
11:55
for beyond 2026? So you can keep next year?
Sean M.
11:56
Thanks Nick! Appreciate you taking the time.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:56
No, thank you!
As always, I super appreciate all of the great questions
can't believe it's almost October
11:57
which, to be fair, also means it's almost time for Operation: go to the D.R. for our 10th anniversary

I'm currently accepting bets on what percentage of my body weight I consume in mofongo
