Cleveland

Anything salvageable about Ramon Laureano or is he just a dump immediately?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:48
dump
11:49
bro is just up there hacking like he's trying to win a Joey Gallo lookalike contest
Walker Buehler
11:49
Am I cooked?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:50
Like "cooked" cooked? No. But I had been out on him prior to TJ because I thought the stuff was overhyped and wouldn't have super high hope for ROS in the TJ comeback year
11:51
But damn, starting for the Dodgers (with the Win opps and bully that comes with them) is a hell of a value drug
BJ
11:52
Will a Caminero call-up happen soon?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:53
My heart says yes but my brain (that knows how much Kevin Cash hates all of us) says no
Guest
11:53
Nolan Jones/Triston Casas. What can I expect ROS.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:54
I'm much higher on Jones ROS (given, ya know, playing on the moon) but am also biased as I was all the way out on Casas preseason
Guest
11:55
What do you think Coby Mayo's timeline for a call-up is? His BB% is up the past week and his K% is down the past month, but he's still crushing
Nicklaus Gaut
11:57
Probably depends on how well Kjerstad does but regardless I don't think they'll hold him down too much longer. Give me post-June but pre-ASB
Guest
11:57
Buehler or Taj?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:57
Taj
Dills

Who's got a closer the Cubs can trade for / what would it cost the Cubs to make the trade / SHOULD the Cubs trade for a closer?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:59
I don't think they should make a significant trade - they have in-house options that should be good enough to stay competitive in their vaunted battle for NL Central and their assets could probably be spent better elsewhere
12:00
Like a rotation that still includes Kyle Hendricks
Cal
12:01
Drop Kimbrel for any of Cano, Kenley Jansen, Fairbanks, or James McArthur?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:01
I'd rather have any of the others
Relievers
12:02
Who are some RP that could be worth stashing as ones that will be eventual closers? Also which RP to own in Baltimore: Kimbrel or Cano?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:02
Cano, baby!
My past two posts for MLBTR delved in depth to all of the different bullpens
But needless to say, I've loved me some Yennier for long time
Dano
12:03
Henry Davis is even struggling in AAA.  Time to cut bait in any league beyond deep dynasty leagues?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:03
Still fine for dynasty but can cut elsewhere
BJ
12:04
How do you expect the Cardinals lineup to shake out once Edman is back?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:04
It will continue being bleh?
12:05
But seriously, Edman returning will take time from a spread of guys, as they mix him around...Carp, Burleson, Gorman will see dips
Matt Shaw's New Groove
12:06
Is the Matt Shaw hype legit? Kid has good stuff, but he's hit a rough patch. Maybe he's working on something specific?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:06
Still think it's legit but this is an apt time to remember the ol' mantra of "a prospects development is not always linear"
GBS42
12:07
5x5, NL only: Should I start K. Gibson at home vs BOS this week or wait to see if either of Snell or Musgrove will be activated this week? Any word on the status of the latter two? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
12:08
I'd go with Gibson - don't think the other two will be back this week
Cal
12:08
I'm in a dynasty league with Chourio occupying my RF slot. I'm hesitant to drop him because of his upside. Seiya Suzuki is available on waivers. Do I drop Chourio? Drop someone else for Suzuki? Or be patient and hope Chourio gets going?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:09
Ideally, you drop someone else for Suzuki...Bird in the hand and all that
Cal
12:10
Do we see Tink Hence this season? Thinking about stashing him now while I can
Nicklaus Gaut
12:10
Yeah but probably not until August-ish
Dills
12:10
I what point do I cut bait on Cabrera in Miami?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:11
can do so now if you need the room
Guest
12:11
ROS redraft. Jasson Dominguez or James Wood?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:11
Dominguez
Connecting…
