What do you make of Avsail Garcia turnaround? Is the Chisholm kid the real deal? Is bieber an alien?
Mike Maher
1:41
Bieber is, in fact, an alien. Avisail Garcia has kind of always been able to hit, right? His strikeouts are way down, which is a good sign. He was bad in 2020, but as recently as 2019 he hit .282 with 20 homers in 125 games.
1:43
As for Jazz Chisholm, he sure looks like the real deal. He isn't going to hit like this for the entire season, but he is hitting the ball HARD. H 21 home runs in something like 110 games in Double A in 2019. I'm buying.

How long do I hold on to Andrew Vaughn with his inconsistent playing time and lack of initial results? (14 team head to head 5x5 categories keeper league)
Mike Maher
1:43
hard to drop in a 14-team league. I think you give it at least another week or two if you can manage it
Jimmy

14 team league and in dire need of saves. Drafted Diaz and Karinchak and have had any luck on the waiver. Is Dolis a viable option? Any others you would recommend?
Mike Maher
1:44
Yes, Dolis is a viable option. But he is going to be a short-term option. Trivino, Graveman, Yimi Garcia, Ian Kennedy are all options if they are available
Guest
1:45
Junis last 2 games he got the start. Will he continue to start for KC the rest of the year?
Mike Maher
1:45
Good question. I think he will go back to the bullpen at some point, especially because he is really only throwing two pitches right now.

Drop Clint Frazier for Tommy Pham?
Mike Maher
1:45
Yes
RobertAtchison

I traded Matt Chapman for Zach Gallen on Monday, then traded Brady Singer for Michael Conforto on Saturday  - Did I win, lose or push??
Mike Maher
1:46
I'd put that down as a W
Trey

On a scale of 1-10 how worried are you about McCutchen? Seems like he either walks, Ks, or makes soft contact. 10 tea. OBP league. A couple decent options on waivers are Cedric Mullins and Adam Eaton.
Mike Maher
1:47
I would pick up Eaton and not look back
1:48
(I'd also take Mullins over McCutchen right now, even though Mullins is due to cool off at some point)
Rob

I was able to move Tyler Naquin for Matt Barnes. I feel with the Reds getting healthy Naquin will not be an everyday guy. I needed a closer. Good move or rushed?
Mike Maher
1:49
I think that is a move you can make if you need a closer
Glenn
1:49
Hiura is available on waiver wire. I think he helps my team but my only reasonable drops are Alcantara or Mancini. If I drop Mancini I am left with just 3 outfielders. My team is Perez (C) Abreu and Hoskins (1B)  Albies (2B) Ramirez and Moncada (3B) Torres and DeJong (SS) McCutcheon, Schwarber, McNeil and Mancini (OF). Starting Pitchers are Cole, Greinke, Wheeler, Urias, Luzardo, May and Alcantara. Closers are Pressley, W Smith, Melancon and Neris.
Mike Maher
1:50
I benched Hiura this week in one league, but I'm not giving up on him that fast. But I see your predicament. Idk that you have a good drop to justify the move.
Rob
1:50
6v6 redraft - Just traded Baez, Mckinstry & India  for his Moncoda, Lowrie, Seager and Robbie Ray. Thoughts?
Mike Maher
1:50
I probably wouldn't want to give up Baez, but this seems fine
Guest
1:51
Donaldson and Pham were just dropped. Add for India (CI) and Mounty (OF) respectively?
Mike Maher
1:51
I mentioned above that I'm not giving up on Mounty just yet. It's still early, and I believe he'll hit. I would drop India for Donaldson though
JimCopp

Weekly Fantasy - keep Ozzie Albies in for the week or sit?
Mike Maher
1:52
He should play this week, BUT the Braves only play 5 games. So if you have another good option, this isn't the worst week to sit him. As for health, though, I expect him to play on Tuesday.
Cable

h/h points league .... thinking of dropping C Santana & K Hiura for Votto & Chisholm ....Yes to either or no .. thanks
Mike Maher
1:53
I really don't want to give up on Hiura yet, and I don't know how much I buy the "new Votto." But Chisholm needs to be added. I wouldn't be opposed to moving Hiura to 1b, dropping Santana, and grabbing Chisholm in your situation.
RobertAtchison
1:53
I'm in a 12 team HTH points league - Should I roster a true closer ( Edwin Diaz ) or use a SP,RP like Wacha ??
Mike Maher
1:53
Closer
Guest
1:53
Is it time to drop Karinchak?
Mike Maher
1:54
Only if you have to. I'm holding where I can.
Doosan
1:54
My team is desperate for a decent SS. I have an outstanding pitching staff led by deGrom and Burnes. I’ve been offered E Suarez for J Berrios, my #3. Surely Suarez will come around, right? Thoughts?
Mike Maher
1:54
Suarez for Berrios seems like a fair offer
Ray
1:55
If you have a choice of Adley Rutschman or Alex Krillioff in a 10 team keeper league... who are you taking?
Mike Maher
1:55
Kiriloff and it isn't close
RobertAtchison
1:55
Should I put in a claim for Corbin and drop either Ynoa, Canning or DeSclafani or leave him?
Mike Maher
1:56
I wouldn't drop DeSclafani but I think you could justify dropping one of the other two for a speculative Corbin add
Micah
1:56
Who are your favorite buy-low and sell-high players at this point in the season? Deep roto league for context
Mike Maher
1:56
My buy-lows are really any player who is struggling that fantasy managers are going to give up on too early. Jose Abreu, Michael Conforto, Tommy Pham. Sign me up for all of those buy lows.
