don't forget that he was a sleeper darling not too long ago due to the general quality of his stuff
just hard to count on him consistently going deep
He's the DJ, I'm the Mahieu
11:44
Does DJ LeMahieu have anything left? Barrel rate and avg exit velo are fine (though o-swing is up, max EV is down, as is his launch angle) and it's sort of spring training for him...
Nicklaus Gaut
11:45
I think he'll be "fine" but that's assuming that .240ish is his new normal
hit sticks been declining for a while and the long injury hasn't helped
Steve
11:46
Pirates going to call up Ashcraft this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:46
I don't think they will barring extreme injuries/ even moreTriple-A domination

Taj Bradley has been cruising, but anytime someone makes contact they are absolutely shredding the ball. Sustainable?
Jack
11:47
Taj Bradley or Nathan Eovaldi rest of season? Bradley is getting hit hard but has been excellent the last month. Eovaldi has been great too lately but has been getting crushed on the road.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:48
Gimme Bradley. He's certainly prone to getting blasted but I'm still trusting the stuff
Steve
11:48
Long-term Agustin Ramirez or Rice?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
Ramirez

I've only been to the ChiSox stadium once, but I'm gonna say that the term "Southside stank" is redundant.wink
Nicklaus Gaut

I've been holding Eduardo Rodriguez on the IL all year. But now I have Jared Jones itching for that spot. Is ERod going to offer anything in 2024 or can I cut him and replace Jones with streaming options?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:50
Wouldn't count on much from E-Rod - rather use the slot for Jones
Chip
11:51
Thoughts on River Ryan? Does he make any MLB starts this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:51
Maybe as a late call-up but I'd bet more on not until 2025
11:52
Really great profile tho, with a pair of plus breakers and big heat
Never Trust Royce Lewis
11:53
Lewis on the bench or Geno Suarez...
Nicklaus Gaut
11:53
Geno!
He said, holding his nose
My Pitching
11:54
How would you rank the following pitchers Kyle Harrison ,Montgomery,Waldron  and Birdsong.  I have to cut two
Nicklaus Gaut
11:54
I'd cut Birdsong and Monty
What happened
11:55
Whatever happened to Adolis Garcia, and is there hope for him post-All Star Break?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:55
He used to eat sliders for breakfast but now they eat him?
11:56
Always been a chaser but it's gotten extreme this year and the floor has fallen out on his contact when he does.
Used to get away with it and isn't any more
Steve
11:57
Best prospect no one is talking about?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:58
Jacob Wilson on Oakland is having a positively bonkers year at Double and Triple-A
Seriously - videogame stuff
Kyle Teel
11:59
I'm trying to find a longterm keeper at the C position.  Tried Campy with the Padres but released him earlier.  Kyle Teel is available on the waiver wire.  What do you think of his offensive profile? Esp OBP.  Is he a longterm catcher?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:59
Teel has a great OBP profile and is a fine choice
but also, don't get too stressed about finding a long-term keeper at catcher

they're like unicorns
ugly, sweaty unicorns

"I was given the title by a powerful wizard whom I met at the end of a long but magical quest" - brilliant. That makes joining you guys totally worth it!
Nicklaus Gaut
12:00
He told me you'd say that
But also thank you!
And with that...
