I think Lipscomb is a fringe big-leaguer that has a utility ceiling
RAGBRAI
11:24
Is Pages a starter in LA outfield in ‘25?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:24
Yep!
Well, unless the Dodgers flip him in a trade to acquire yet another hall of famer
RAGBRAI
11:25
Is Black in SF long term a starter or reliever?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:25
I still think he's a starter
11:26
But we'll start finding out today!
Ronny B Fast

Alonso is hitting like last year. Can there possibly be something wrong with him or are his best years over?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:28
I still believe in the BABIP monster eventually leaving him along - .274 through his first three seasons, .205 since the start of 2023

When does C Mayo and junior Caminero get called up?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:30
Barring injuries, I think they're both post-ASB guys - too crowded in Baltimore and too much Rays shenanigans in Tampa
Joe
11:31
When does Jake Burger get activated?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
Any day
Gwynning

What do I realistically expect from Gavin Williams this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:32
A dozen starts with about a K per IP, so 70 ish?
Annoyed with Alex
11:33
I’ve never been a big Bregman fan, but he fell well past his ADP in my draft and I scooped him up. He’s obviously been garbage to this point, but it would be absurd to cut bait on him now, right? What’s your take on his xFV?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
Can't cut - he loves being trash in April
Steve the pirate
11:34
When will we see Paul Skenes and what kind of fantasy impact do you think he’ll have?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
Possibly as soon as this weekend - if not, probably the turn after that
11:35
Monster impact by rates but the biggest question/issue is how much usage he'll get.
Mike
11:35
How "worried" should we Acuna owners be? Still a chance he gets to his projected stats?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
Not very - probably not going to hit 40 HR but I'd make a heavy bet on 30+ and he's still pacing 60+ SB
Steve E
11:37
Crystal ball time: Can you envision the Marlins handing the closer spot to Maldonado soon?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:38
I think a returning Puk has a better chance
Jay
11:38
Corey Seager and Alex Bregman - just slow starts or do you have real concern for either/both of them?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:38
slow starts

I dropped Tork a week and a half ago. I just grabbed Manzardo, but is it worth it to have the spot be empty? There really isn't a good option at all this season.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
I'd be happy with Manzardo
Josh
11:39
Is my fellow Josh, Josh Smith, for real? Or is this just an early season flash in the pan?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:41
Been hyping Mr. H. Smith since Jung went down. He might not be a long-term breakout but don't think he's going in the tank. Feel free to keep riding.
Matt
11:41
Is Cory Seagers back hurting him more than we know?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
As someone with serious back issues from my youth, I'm of the opinion that everyone with back issues is probably hurting them more than we know.
letsplaytwo
11:43
what order would you drop/keep these three; C Sanchez, E Cabrera, J Musgrove
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
Sanchez > Cabrera > Musgrove
Dano
11:43
Start Darvish today @ Wrigley?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
I am (twice)
fingers crossed
Dano

Looks like Montas is coming off IL tomorrow.  Which of these SPs do I drop to reactivate him?  Lively, Irvin, Manoah, Stripling.  Categories are K, ERA, WHIP, modified quality starts (5 IP, <= 4.50 ERA), SV, Holds
Nicklaus Gaut
11:45
Irvin
Chip

What's wrong with Xander B?
