Hi Brent,I am in a 5x5 NL only 10 team league.All things being equal what are you thoughts on a straight up trade of Freddie Freeman for Yamamoto
Brent Hershey
12:55
Yama is harder to find/replace; that's how I'd lean.
Adam

Gore, Brown, Soriano, Bradley, Civale

Austin Riley has been a huge bust this year.  His EV is still strong.  BB% & K% both generally in line with career norms.  Any insight into what to expect going forward?
Brent Hershey
12:56
Think he finds it (at some point) for the reasons you mention

Hi Brent. 12-team 5X5 OBP league. Had a bit of a logjam at SS/MI with Jordan Westburg, Nick Gonzales, Joey Ortiz, Christopher Morel, and Jeremy Peña, with Dylan Moore as my backup everywhere. Dealt Peña for MacKenzie Gore, as Peña had more trade value than my other shortstops (Gonzales and Moore). Is it fair to expect Gonzales to produce comparable numbers to Peña ROS? Gonzales has better Statcast numbers, but Peña has the longer track record and a spot in the middle of a good lineup.
Brent Hershey
12:57
No, I'd trust Peña more -- but NG has looked good so far for sure

Hi Brent! Any hope for Jack Suwinski? Or Henry Davis?
Brent Hershey
12:58
yes to both; but whether one has the patience for it is the question
Jake

9 team AL only 4x4 with OBP.  Rizzo and Wenzeel Perez are killing me in OBP!  If I can only replace one which do you prefer to keep?
Brent Hershey
12:58
Keep Perez

12 team mixed H2Hcats - is Ben Brown more than just a streaming option moving forward?
Brent Hershey
12:58
Stuff/skills seem to say that yes, there's more there. I'm holding where I can
Bob
12:58
Would you drop Kopech for Edwin Diaz if you had a transaction limit?
Brent Hershey
12:58
Yes
Jake

5x5 OBP league. J. India or H. Ramos ROS? Thanks!
Brent Hershey
12:59
Ramos; ceiling is higher and batted ball metrics are positive
NL-only 5x5

Toglia, Suwinski, Peralta, Dahl

12-team AL Only 4X4: Can I trust Brady Singer this week?  He has 2 starts scheduled...but they are against the Yankees and Dodgers.  I think he has a decent win chance going against Stroman and Paxton but the ratios may not be worth the risk.
Brent Hershey

Nope

Good morning Brent,  I am in next to last place in HR and SLG a 12-teamer (pretty far behind), where we score the traditional 5x5 + SO, SLG. OBP. I sit in 7th overall. You would think I would be in a better position with:
C Logan O'Hoppe
1B Matt Olson
2B Luis Arraez
3B Manny Machado
SS Bo Bichette
OF Fernando Tatis Jr.
OF Ian Happ
OF Kyle Schwarber
Util Joc Pederson
Util Maikel Garcia
BN Nick Gonzales

Question:
1. Do I pick up Duvall/Burger/Kepler off waivers and drop Gonzales?
2. Do I trade pitching to get a T. Hernandez (will take a lot to get a deal done)?
3. Do I keep my powder dry?
Brent Hershey
1:01
  1. Yes to Burger
  2. Probaby bad time to be trading for TH;
  3. Mostly

Can we expect a rebound from Arozarena or is something fundamentally wrong?
Brent Hershey
1:02
I think it may have started already. I'm holding
Johnny Dickshot

Fairbanks or Jansen ROS looking for saves specifically
Brent Hershey

Fairbanks
David

Looking for some pitching (from minors) that might help this year, and have long term value.  Can you rank ROS and longer term Mazur, Rodriquez (brewers guy to pitch tomorrow) River Ryan, Sproat?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Sproat, Rodriguez, Ryan, Mazur

only mid-rotation ceiling on them all, though
Lou
1:03
Playing in a deep, 12-team NL only league. ERA, ratio, and wins are crazy tight. Will Michael Grove continue to be a trusted multi-inning reliever and vulture more wins in LA, or is he headed to AAA when Miller, Kershaw return? His metrics seem improved over 20203.
Brent Hershey
1:03
Think they find a way to keep him, since he's thriving in that role
Johnny Dickshot
1:03
Soderstrom or Manzardo ROS? 2 catcher league
Brent Hershey
1:03
Manzardo but close
Porcho Villa

The good news is that my depleted roster is finally getting healthy... the bad news is that now I'm in a roster crunch with N. Jones and E. Diaz coming back. Who would be your first drop (5x5 OBP): Friedl, Suzuki, Westburg, Morel
Brent Hershey
1:04
Friedl
will

will melendez turn it around?
Brent Hershey

Hope so but it's a looooong road

Are the Rays playing service time games with Baz? He seems ready to go after his last start and their season is slipping away from them
Brent Hershey
1:05
Not sure if it's service time, or just standard Rays games
