They had been trying him at 1B some, but there are other young options there, too. Given how they've slow-played non-Holliday prospects, I don't get the sense that there's anything imminent yet.

Is it more likely that Justin Turner has a better 2nd half or is he done?
Brent Hershey
12:55
I'd choose "done"
Adam Duvall
12:55
Wait for turnaround or time to cut bait in NL only?
Brent Hershey
12:55
Cut, unfortunately

Where do you anticipate Lazaro Montes shows up on the mid-season top 50?
Brent Hershey
12:55
in the 40-50 range
Johnny Dickshot

Will the Mariners make use of Ryan Bliss or will he waste away on their bench?
Brent Hershey
12:56
He's gotta show he can hit, first. Good start to that the past few days. Too early to say.

OBP AL Only Rotisserie - Amed Rosario or Ty France ROS?

France

Thank you the entire team for doing these weekly chats, they are super helpful.

12 team, H2H, points league where we start one RP per week and heavily weighted based on Saves. I have Doval and A. Diaz on my roster; however, K Jensen is on the waiver wire. Who is the best bet for the remainder of the season? I would like to carry one RP, I drafted Doval and he has been huge disappointment and SF not getting many opportunities.

I'd hold. Feel like Jansen could implode or get hurt at any time.

Good morning...I'd like to get your opinion on Tugboat Wilkinson...is he for real?  Video game like numbers in A/A+, but curious if you think he'll get caught up to in the upper minors.  I mean, high 80s fastballs only work for so long, right?
Brent Hershey
12:59
Yeah, I'd still watch from afar for now. More likely that he struggles than he does this the whole way up the ladder.

12-team, H2H, points and you start 3 SP's per week. Points are driven mostly by wins. Need to start 3 of the following.

L Gilbert (1 start vs Min)
H Brown (1 start vs Col)
J Ryan (2 starts)
Houck (2 starts)
T Bradley (2 starts)
Pfaadt (2 starts)

To me Ryan and Houck for sure, but can't decide if 1 start of Gilbert or Brown is better than 2 starts of Bradley or Pfaadt.

The way he's been throwing, Hunter Brown v COL
Brent Hershey
1:01
OK, a bunch left; will get to as many as I can. Lightning round!

Hello Brent,

Truly appreciate your insights both here at the chats and elsewhere.  If Crochet gets traded to a contender, do you see a scenario where he pitches in September?  

Next question, will Gil pitch in September or will he be moved to the bullpen?

Thanks
Brent Hershey
1:01
If both are on contenders, I think they pitch late

Good Monday to you, Brent!  Glad to have you back this week.  A strategy question for you.  12 team NL only with unlimited adds/drops and daily set lineups.  I'm dead last in WHIP and ERA by large margins (the gap between me and the 11th place team in ERA is larger than between the 1st and 11th place teams), due to underperformance, both by pitchers and me on draft day, and injuries.  Ended up with a staff of mediocre starters, figuring I can use HQ's SP matchup tool to navigate it, but haven't found much success so far. Fortunately, Doug Dennis' reliever columns have helped me pick up good relievers to soften the blow.  Is it too early to throw caution to the wind and start all my starters every time out, regardless of the matchups? Or wait a little longer and if so, How long? Thanks!
Brent Hershey
1:03
Yes, might be time to go SP-heavy

Shallow mixed h2h league - is Noelvi Marte worth holding on to if he’s not immediately called up?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Yes
Beano

Aaargh! Hitters are not hitting! Will N Jones and/or Suwinski do anything of merit? Or should they be waived for a nice sandwich?  NL 10 team 5x5.
Brent Hershey
1:04
Depends how hungry you are. I have more faith in Jones
Johnny

Facks & Flukes was not kind to Bo Bichette recently. Any optimism with him having some time off and returning tomorrow? If not, would you move bichette + naylor for CJ Abrams + Burger in a 12 tm mixed categories? Thanks!
Brent Hershey
1:04
Yes, I prefer CJ/Burger side

Vinnie P looks good under the hood but he’s starting to seem like someone who’s actual production will lag behind his skills. How fringey is he in standard 12 team rotos?
Brent Hershey
1:05
I'm still on board in 12s
Guest

are you anticipating a big 2H from Framber after yesterdays deal fest?
Brent Hershey
1:05
Not a slam dunk. Could happen, but inconsistency tempers my expectation
Rhone

is Josh Naylor a sell-high in 12 team mixed categories leagues?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Seems mostly for real to me. I'd prob hold.

Is Jake McCarthy winning full time ABs in ARI? Must roster if so?
Brent Hershey
1:07
Does seem that way; he was a second-tier target for me this week. Good Corbin insurance.

Morning have to start two out of the three Canzone from Seattle  Verling from Detroit and Larnach from Minnesota, It’s a tough choice for me. They all seem pretty close. thanks
Brent Hershey

Expecting a huge week from Canzone (6/6 RHP); then would go Larnach
