Yikes, that's terrible man
11:23
I hate running guys out against LAD but I think I'd probably pick Lorenzen over Thorpe - two starts but a huge downside in getting popped in both
And given your staff is reeling, I wouldn't want to take another monster hit
hold on someone's ringing my doorbell

Waiting for Casas. Is Rizzo still punchdrunk? Would you replace with J.Bell?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:24
I would replace with Bell.
The Yandy and Randy Show?
11:24
I have Yandy and Randy (from TB). Anything encouraging going on there? When do I move on? Burning through the season here waiting for signs of life.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:25
Ugg, nothing to get too excited about
11:26
The problem with both is that moving on requires better options on the wire, which might not be the case. And if not, you're basically committing to power streaming their positions as name-guys like that tend to get snapped up by people wanting a free lotto ticket

Nick, I see conflicting predictions … do you think that Soto goes on the IL this week?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:27
Seeing something from 20 minutes ago that says Boone expects him back tonight
11:28

Do you prefer BA or OBP leagues? It really changes the game I've found.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:29
Changes things massively. I don't have a huge preference but I do like that OBP leagues open up/change the player pool so drastically.
11:30
And given that the competition doesn't always properly adjust their values vs an AVG league, there are a lot of edges to leverage

Keeper with OBP - Was offered Bichette, Framber Valdez and Clay Holmes for Corbin Carroll and Francisco Alvarez. Maybe it's sunk fallacy but I just can't get myself to give up on Carroll. Trying to win this year but building for the future too. Thoughts?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:32
I think you take it - even if Carroll bounces back, you still might "win" the trade. And personally, I like big trades where I'm getting a mix of positions that might level out some of the risks
I also have Framber bias syndrome
riegs
11:33
Which two are your favorites out of M Waldron, C Paddack, C Scott, S Baz, D Thorpe, S Woods-Richardson, and K Crawford ?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
Scott and Crawford

Man has Sean Murphy been bad so far. Not what I was hoping to see after holding him since draft day. I would think it's too soon to drop him tho. Catcher has been a revolving door for me so far this year haha. Who would you want as your second catcher out of D Jansen, P Bailey, I Herrera, S Langeliers, R Jeffers and L O'Hoppe?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
Well, don't you just have a bunch of my low-key faves?
I like O'Hoppe the most, followed by Jansen
Follow your bliss
11:37
Should I cut Bliss or Manzardo to add Spencer Horwitz in my al obp league?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:37
I'd cut either for Horwitz
riegs
11:39
Would you bench Pepiot for his start against Baltimore today?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
I'm starting him
D-Mize
11:41
People are saying Casey Mize is toast. Truth or vicious rumor?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:41
Burnt? No
Getting a little crunchy tho?
11:42
mayyyy-be
South Side Corey
11:42
Is Korey Lee better than Corey Julks because every kiss begins with k?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
I don't want to encourage you
But of course!
middle infielders
11:42
Can you rank the following meh middle infielders in terms of what you guess will be next year's offensive production. (I've already written off this year's.) Lenyn Sosa, Max Shuemann, Daniel Schneeman, Vaughn Grissom, Spencer Horwitz, Darell Hernaiz. Thanks
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
Grissom > Horwitz > schneeman > Schuemann > Hernaiz > Sosa
Are they toast?
11:43
Is there any hope left for Oscar Colas, Akil Baddoo, Miguel Andujar, Byron Buxton, Alex Kirilloff, or Mitch Haniger, or has their day in the sun come and gone?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
There's still hope for Buxton and Kirilloff
11:44
But Buxton will probably need to go through that Weapon X program like Wolverine
11:45
