NL-only, 12-team, dynasty. Woodruff owner who also owns Shane Drohan. Is there an innings limit on the latter, even if he's able to pitch reasonably well? It would be a nice break for him to remain in the MILW rotation and garner some wins.
Brent Hershey
12:49
Yes, I would think so. Drohan just went 54 IP last year, and 57 so for this. They could probably push him to 90-100 ... but unlikely that he's still in the rotation come early or mid-September. Still might be worth it, but prob not a set/forget guy from now until October.

AL only, HOLDs/Saves league.  Will you please rank:  BAbreu, CMartin, SNewcomb for holds/saves ROS?   Any "lesser of two evils" here?  (and Thanks for doing this Brent!  Ray is dropping the ball lately...;))
Brent Hershey
12:54
Haha, we'll try to get back to 2x week here at least this month. I'd prob rank it Newcomb / Abreu / Martin. Abreu's walks scare me; might only want Newcomb
Pitching Dilemma
12:55
Good morning Brent.  Thanks as always for this chat.  I was excited to get Dustin May off the waiver wire a few weeks ago and everything was great until the complete game masterpiece.  Since then, he's been rocked for 11 ER in 2 2/3 IP.  Which is the real May?  I have a chance (probably unlikely) to replace him with Jared Jones.  If i don't get Jones, i'd get to keep May.  Should i try and make that move?  I'm in a 16 Team Mixed Keeper League and both would be huge values heading into 2027.  I am also contending this year.  Please let me know your thoughts.
Brent Hershey
12:55
Yes, you should try for that move. May's been consistently inconsistent over the long haul. Good luck!

hi Brent, thank you for doing these. Would you activate Murakami who is beginning a rehab stint today if your alternatives are Soler and W Castro? A week ago, it still was not clear if he needed rehab games
Brent Hershey
12:58
Nah, I'd keep Soler in there for this week. Bring MM back after the break
Jackson
12:58
NL only, HOLds/Saves.  SHentges would help or hurt me more ROS?  Is he just shaking off rust or is he cooked?  PJohnson is better?   (sorry for such a little question here)
Brent Hershey
12:58
Not a big fan of either ... Johnson might get a slight nod if I HAD to

Hello, Brent. Tied for 1st in NL-only, 12-team, dynasty. Opportunity to acquire Trea Turner but his STATCAST profile is a depressing wall of blue, including highest K% since his rookie season. The return includes .50 Ethan Salas, who looks more and more like a foundational piece for SD. Should I shop elsewhere for SB and runs? Turner is overpriced and not a keeper in our league.
Brent Hershey
1:01
If you're tied for first this year, I think you go for it and keep Turner unless you're not convinced you'll be in the race by September. Even then, I might not. TT capable of getting hot, great lineup and park around him. Agreed that SBs will be down some, but runs should be there.

I have a follow up question on OF depth (10 team, NL-only).  I have some backfill guys with Troy Jonston and Lourdes Gurriel, should I stick with those guys or pick up Victor Bericoto?
Brent Hershey
1:01
Stick with what you have
Porcho Villa

I am hard up for SB in 5x5 H2H league with daily transactions. Are any of Esteury Ruiz, Kahlil Watson, or Henry Bolte worth a roster spot?
Brent Hershey
1:02
Watson or Bolte more than Ruiz methinks. Worth a shot
Ron
1:03
In 15 team 5x5, do you like upside play Conine (MIA) or Bericoto (SF)?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Conine; maybe I'm not giving Bericoto enough credit, but this past week was out of character for him.
Brent Hershey
1:03
OK, just a few more...
Ron

Hi Brent,  can Romano make hay in COL in deep saves only league?
Brent Hershey

No
