Why must Royce Lewis haunt me this way? That said - how do you see Miranda fitting into the Twins lineup the rest & what are your expectations?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:21
Never trust Royce Lewis
11:22
I've always had a soft spot for Miranda, though, his ceiling is much higher if you're playing points. Not a ton of power but the profile is fairly well-rounded and the hit tool is good enough make up for any shortcomings.
catchers
11:23
Danny Jansen has cooled off significantly since his earl-season spurt. Alejandro Pena seems to be getting hitter. Who's the better investment in a 5x5 league for this year and next? And while we're talking catchers, is there any 'there' there to Cesar Salazar?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
Still give the nod to Jansen but it's really hard to invest in his health in the long-term
M's reliever
11:26
The Mariner's bullpen has been spotty this year, and I know they can't wait for the return of Gregory Santos. But other than last year, Santos hasn't been a great pitcher either in the majors or the minors. Assuming he's healthy by the end of the month, can I count on him for being a true high-leverage reliever?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:27
He made some actionable changes last year so I'll say yes but gotta keep an eye on whether the walk-rate change has actually stuck

How would you rank these rooks ROS? J Wood, B Lee, J Chourio, N Marte, C Cowser and J Ortiz?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:28
Wood > Chourio > Marte > Ortiz > Lee > Cowser
Speed Kills
11:29
That David Hamilton question was too much
Nicklaus Gaut
11:29
Just you wa-ai-ait

What likely trade candidates would improve their fantasy value the most by getting moved to a contender?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:29
Garrett Crochet - his current situation literally couldn't be worse
11:30
gotta get that southside stank off of him
Vaughn, not Mo
11:30
Andrew Vaughn went on a nice power streak. Worth holding as he cold, right? Only league, obp, alternatives are of the schneeman / schuemann variety.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:30
worth holding if those are your best options - just gotta be find with his general lack of ceiling
and they said I couldn't say something nice about Vaughn!

How does one come into the career path of "Fantasy Baseball Expert?"
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
I can't speak for everyone but I was given the title by a powerful wizard whom I met at the end of a long but magical quest.
Can-non or Can-oui
11:35
Should I start Cannon @PIT? Do you prefer Spence or Estes (not this week but beyond)?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
I wouldn't statt Cannon
or start him
Also, Spence

Do you think Gausman gets moved at the deadline? If so, where would be a good fit?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
He should but I'm not sure he will be.
11:37
Baltimore or Atlanta
Bob
11:38
Any good streamer suggestions for this week?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:38
Jose Quintana, Carson Spiers
Paddack too

How would you rank S Baz, G Williams and S Schwellenbach ROS?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
Williams > Baz > Schwellenbach

Jared Jones looks like he is going to be out for a while. Think he is worth holding on to or would that IL slot be better for stashing someone like Springs, Casas or Jung?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:40
Depends on if you can cover the deficit - late-July for Jones seems best case
11:41
I really like a Springs stash but ideally at the expense of someone other than Jones
Guest
11:42
Obliques aside. Noot ROS. I know patience is a virtue but Nolan Jones is wearing out his welcome. What u think?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
Probably rather have the relative safety of Noot
Hard to just keep running Jones out there

thanks for this! NL 10 team 5x5 - Do I want to rush and grab L Ortiz (PIT). And, how likely is a trade out of the NL to the AL for Bellinger (I think his contract too cumbersome) and for Winker?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
I'd grab Ortiz, definitely in NL only
