5x5, NL-only weekly. This seems like a weird question, but would you play Michael Harris II or Andrew McCutchen the rest of the way?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:47
Still Harris for me
tho Cutch did have himself an August renaissance of sorts
JJ
11:48
Slightly off-topic - do you do any other fantasy sports or are you 100% baseball?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
I play football in a su-uuuuuuuuuper casual way
been mostly just baseball for about 5 years
Oh, also Survivor
as in the t.v. show, not format
you may laugh now

I can keep players next season at the same price, or 2 years at price + $5, or three years at price + $10.  Where do you land on these AL players: O'Neill $16, Barger $1, B Francis $3, D Festa $1?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:51
I don't much care for Barger
And love me some Festa, so sign me up for three years
11:52
I like Francis too but I'd be hesitant signing him for more than next year
11:53
By value, I think O'Neill would be worth signing for the max but you'll have to stomach the inevitable injury/cold streaks
I think length of contract for him would come down to your team composition/risk profile

I need help with ERA and WHIP. Tanner Scott over Kyle Finnegan, right? Saves and holds don't really matter at this point.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:59
Think I'd still rather have Finnegan
12:00
tho looking for ratios-only makes it close
Dave

Thanks for the replies.  If it makes you feel any better, I am 7 points up with 2 weeks to go, thanks in part to your advice!
Nicklaus Gaut
12:00
Yeah Dave!
Get that belt!

Any middle infielders you like as streamers for the next 7 days? I have N Gonzalez currently subbed in for Seager but not thrilled Gonzalez is my starting SS in the championship
Nicklaus Gaut
12:03
Orlando Arcia, Mike Yazstrzemski, and McCutchen are all reasonable options that I like more than my fellow Nick

I totally enjoy your chats. I hope you are around next season.
Nicklaus Gaut
12:03
Thank you!
I've enjoyed doing them

In a snake draft, have you ever considered just drafting player you just like as long as they ar earound the next ten on your board?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:04
I think that's reasonable
fantasy is supposed to be fun, so I'm all for leaning in more on guys you just personally like more
Alright, everyone, gotta cut it
12:05
As always, thank you for all of the great questions
We'll see you back next week on Monday at 12pm EST
Good luck this week!
