What player(s} ADP do you think is way off -- one in a good way and one in a bad way.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
Love me some Skubal but that ADP is out of control high
11:25
whoops forgot to hit send
Ha-
Ha-Seong Kim and Max Fried also too high
Too lows:
11:26
Nico Hoerner, Esteury Ruiz, Andres Gimenez
11:28
Framber Valdez, Kevin Gausman, Bailey Ober, Kenley Jansen

In 26 member teams with 5 keepers, where do you lean on the spectrum of keeping high upside high risk guys that cost vert little, to spending a lot of your budget to keep established but expensive stars?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:33
With just 5 keepers, I'd rather spend up on establishment for most of them.

Hey Nick, How do you view Giancarlo Stanton’s prospects this year, especially hitting behind Judge and Soto?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
He'll be great right up until the point some new body part explodes/falls right off
But in seriousness, barring a health miracle, you're probably hoping a 100 game/25 HR ceiling.

Are Jared Jones and Triolo worth picking up?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
Triolo has a job and is coming off a great spring - good enough to take a chance.
11:37
Aww - damn it. Totally forgot about Jones when answering about NL rookies who could splash
I like him quite a bit - fu-un stuff

The fact that Nolan Gorman's ADP is in the 300's for ESPN and Yahoo is INSANE
Nicklaus Gaut
11:38
I'm a known Gorman doubter but 300+ ADP is ridiculous. Shouldn't ever last past 200.
11:39
Looking at the Main events from the weekend, Gorman had a 185 AD (135 min, 210 max). Granted, those are 15-teamers..but still

12 Team 5x5 H2H. What grade would you give my Starting Staff? And who if anyone would you trade?  Kodai Senga/Zach Eflin/Chris Bassitt/Chris Sale/Bryce Miller/Taj Bradley/Kutter Crawford/James Paxton/Louie Varland/Sawyer Gipson-Long
Nicklaus Gaut
11:45
C -
that's a lot of high-variance guys, both in quality and health. Probably going to be heavily matchup-dependent from week to week which in H2H could leave you on a rollercoaster.

I had the next to last pick in a 16-team H2H league and my catcher choices were Moreno, Kirk, and Stephenson.  Was Moreno the best choice?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:46
best choice by far - pretty good steal for you

What kind of season do you thin Max Meyer will have?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
I like Meyer quite a bit and think he's going to have a solid season in real-life terms. The problem for fantasy (overall) is the IP which will be unlikely to ever reach 100. But since he's up and in the rotation now, just ride him until the Marlins throw on the brakes.
*even reach 100

Keep Luis Castillo or Zack Wheeler?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:51
Su-uuper similar but give me Castillo by a nose
Tiebreaker: Is Oakland in your division?

11:52
How early or how much are you willing to spend on Skenes?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:54
Not a lot - the chances of him getting enough MLB IP to be super useful are just too low
Also, the Pirates...

In a 2-year, AL-only 5x5 keeper league, is $25 a reasonable bid for Cole?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:57
Assuming 90-100 IP in 2024, he's about a 13-15$ dollar guy so I think $25 is pretty reasonable for a 2-year keep if you think he comes back and stays healthy
11:59
Alright, everyone, we're wrapping up.

You may have answered this before on a chat, but what's your personal favorite format to play and why?
