Holding Crochet in a 12tm OBP/QS dynasty league. He would cost me $10 next year but I am also coming off a title last year & have a decent shot at repeating. Offers for Crochet have gone cold given his latest stretch. Is a trade for Clay Holmes to bolster my roster heading into the playoffs selling Crochet too cheaply? Only alternative is letting him eat a roster spot and anticipating a strong return as a keeper next season

It depends on how much you believe adding Holmes adds to your championship chances. I'm always "team go for it" and will usually "sell low" if it's a move I believe really ups my chances.

Our playoffs start in 2 weeks. I have a solid top 6 (Kirby, Gilbert, Webb, Ober, Brown, Bradley). Trying to keep/add 2-3 of the following; Nelson, Arrighetti, Musgrove, Pepiot, Springs, Harrison, Kikuchi, Baz. How would you rank these 8?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
Kikuchi > Springs > Baz > Harrison > Arrighetti > Musgrove > Nelson > Pepiot
11:35
I like Kikuchi and Spring the best by far tho

Christian Walker was just dropped in my league. Would you consider him a solid IL stash or do you think he'll end up missing too much time with his oblique injury? (My league doesn't use the last week of the mlb season)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
If you have a free IL spot with no other use, sure. But I wouldn't assume you'll get more than 2-3 weeks out of him
Luis suarez
11:36
How about max fried do I keep him?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:37
Walks + COL have led to some ugly outcomes recently, but yes, you keep him

Ottoneeu keeper league...what to you see as MacKenzie Gore's value going into next season?  Is what we've seen this year what he will be going forward?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
Second half has mostly sucked but I'm still a believer long term
11:40
Hate that the walks issue has ballooned but I'm sure I'll overdraft him next year too ; )

Nicklaus Gaut

But also wouldn't start him @TEX

How dare you sir

Still going with Ranger but his usage worries me
WTP

Do you see future upside with Casey Mize?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:45
I do. Still a lot of talent there.
11:46
He'll be awesome after being eventually (inevitably) traded to Tampa Bay
Chip

Is Brady Singer like, actually good now?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:48
I know. It's weird to say
But Brady Singer
Of the Royals of Kansas City
Is good now
Zebby Matthews
11:49
What's your take on Zebby Matthews for dynasty purposes.  Does he have keeper potential or just a streamer?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:50
Deep dynasty, sure. But right now he's a backend starter/streamer type
