Mornin', party people
about to get going
GBS42
11:01
Weekly 5x5 NL-only with CI choices of L. Wade and J. Yepez. Who are you starting? I'm leaning Wade because Yepez is losing playing time.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:02
I like Wade a lot this week. All RHP on the schedule means he should get a lot of PAs
Matt
11:03
Should I drop W Castro and R Ohearn for M Wallner and C Norby?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:04
Sure, especially if you're most hunting power
Matt
11:05
Kopech or C Green?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:05
Kopech
MikeD
11:06
Royals closer in 2025 is who?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:06
Erceg
11:07
They're unlikely to sign someone and MLB teams love themselves an incumbent
In Houck
11:07
Do you like Mize (COL), Zebby (LAA), or Houck (@NYY) best this week?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:08
Mize
god help me
But that's just how bad the Rockies are
Jack: Captain or Squat?
11:09
Jack Leiter got 20 swings and misses vs LAA but also gave up runs. Will he put it together this season or more of a 2025 play?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:09
I'd be wary about this season
11:11
His secondaries get a lot of whiffs but the problem is how hard his four-seamer gets smacked around. Throwing it +50% of the time with a 51% HH% and +.600 SLG won't work out well
Justin
11:12
Would you rather keep Trout, Kwan, or Alonso in a keeper league?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:13
Alonso
Trout is far past being too risky and even when Alonso struggles you know you're banking ~35 HR
TheMan3
11:15
Any chance of Derek Shelton and Andy Haines losing their jobs after such a disastrous season and from not making significant progress on the team’s offense?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:15
They both should be shipped out but its the Pirates so who the hell knows?
but surely they've been bad enough that management won't justify bringing them back
11:16
but again, it's the Pirates
Crystal Balls
11:17
Trying to get ahead of next week starts. Favorite 1 or 2 of these? Bowdin (@TX), Zebby (@CLE), Povich (DET), Kutter (MIN), Detmers (CWS), Jack Leiter (TOR)?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:17
Love, love, love Detmers
11:18
Also like Bowdin but far less
the other are pretty dicey
Gwynning
11:19
Whittling down my 26 Man offseason roster... rank the following please?  Norby, Vientos, Merrill, Arozarena and Crews. I can probably keep 2, maybe 3.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:19
tough choices
my top 3 would be Merrill, Vientos, and Crews
I'd hate giving either of the three back
RAGBRAI
11:21
What does McCray fit into SF ‘25 plans?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:21
I think he'll be given a shot to be in the mix, given the power he's shown and the overall hole-filled OF of San Fran
11:22
But he'll have to prove that he can at least carry a "manageable" K% - AKA closer to 30% than 40%
Gwynning
11:23
Who has the best '25 potential? Knack, Lowder, Povich, Detmers, Festa
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
How dare you ask me to choose between Detmers and Festa!
11:24
But I'm (sigh) going with Festa
but you better believe I'll still be totally over-exposed to Detmers
