Hey all! Happy baseball week, and draft week for many. Tons of Qs; will do what I can in an hour...

Hi Brent, I have the 4th pick in my Points League draft, with keepers Lindor, Bregman, Chisholm, Harris II, and Ober. The three teams ahead of me are keeping 1B, so Freeman may fall to me. If not, Trea Turner is the top option, but I’m hesitant to lock up my U spot early. Should I just take the highest projected scorer, or consider Framber Valdez or even William Contreras instead? Thank you!
Brent Hershey
12:04
Take the highest projected scorer, even if you have to keep that in mind the rest of the way.

Brent, so nice to talk again with games just about to start! I have a quick pitching question for you.

In a H2H format, who you taking ... Rasmussen or Pepiot? I know the latter is a darling, but the former just has that "it" factor.

Let me know your thoughts!

P.S. Are you in or out on Chandler Simpson?
Brent Hershey
12:06
Pepiot; just safer. Simpson ... not enough info on your league. Don't expect him to make the team; think he'll be a tough carry if you have limited reserves.

Mornin' all! Hi, Brent!

I need to know ... will I regret giving up on Jordan Walker?

Enjoy the Tokyo games!
Brent Hershey
12:07
Not if you get someone better on your roster to replace him! :-)

I'm kinda lukewarm on Walker ... like that they're giving him a legit shot this year; not sure what that means. Not a target for me.
Broken bat

15 Tm. Mixed 4x4. Need 2 - CI but one must play 1b, need power, rbi and say 255 BA. No concern for Sb. Available: Machado, Devers, Olsen, Harper, Parades, Freeman,
Brent Hershey
12:08
Machado and Olson

Gut feeling, which Dodger SS ends up with more value THIS season - Hyesong Kim or Alex Freeland? And how close do you think the difference is? Thank you for all you do!
Brent Hershey
12:09
Kim. Curious on Freeland, but so rare for a home-grown LA rookie to make an impact

H2H Dynasty QS. Drop Grayson R. to pick up Ohtani (P)? Also, drop D. May to pick J. Springs?
Brent Hershey
12:10
1) Yes; 2) No
Guest

H2H OBP league. Just lost R. Lewis for start of season.  Available replacements are: E. Clement, McMahon, J. Candelario, Berti, D. Moore, and KB Hayes.  THoughts?
Brent Hershey
12:11
McMahon/Candy/Clement would be by rank
Guest
12:12
H2H Dynasty QS K/9. Jack Leiter, D. May, S. W-Richardson, M. Parker, R. Detmers, or D. Thorpe? Rank.
Brent Hershey
12:12
Leiter (more dynasty aspect than this year return) May, SWR, Detmers, Parker, Thorpe
Springfield Isotopes
12:13
Devy de los Santos. Its tough to judge him at 21 years old, but what do you think is a realistic outcome here?  Some of the numbers are tempting, but how translatable is it? Thank you.
Brent Hershey
12:13
Unlikely to chase a profile like this until I see it succeed at MLB level.
Guest
12:14
6X6 H2H, QS, K/9, HR allowed.  Need to drop 2 of May, Springs, Weathers, Efflin.
Brent Hershey
12:14
Springs and May. Don't love the team context, but I believe in the Weathers gains
will
12:18
is it time to be worried about Francis, Blanco, Uceta, and Springs?
Brent Hershey
12:18
Expectation-dependent. Outside of Springs, each had a short track record even with 2024 success, so I was cautious going in.
Dynasty Addict
12:18
7x7 H2H, OBP, TB dynasty with large rosters.  Have Nimmo, Conforto, Carter to cover LF. Kelenic, M. Vargas, A. Martin, and Loperfido are available. Stand still or make a move?
Brent Hershey
12:18
Stand.

12:19
Will Savador Perez be able to maintain his .330 obp from last year and play nearly every game or should we be ready for disappointment?
Brent Hershey
12:19
Think that's likely a high-water mark given his age, position, etc.
Commish
12:21
Hi Brent,I hope you can help with this problem.My league has daily transactions and no reserve bench.The problem is what do we do with Ohtani,on the days he doesn’t pitch and on the days he does pitch.Does he count as two separate players but in the end the owner only has 22 players on his roster?Do we just make a move at the beginning of the week  determining if he will be a hitter or pitcher that week? Such a great player but he is reaking havoc on fantasy baseball!!!!!!.Any help with be greatly appreciated….thank you!!!!
Brent Hershey
12:21
Yeah, tough. I'd probably vote for one player, determine his position for the week.
Guest
12:22
6x6 H2H, QS, K/9 Maeda looks good this spring. Worth a shot over Weathers, Efflin, May, or Woodruff?
Brent Hershey
12:22
Nah, think I'd hold. Closest for May, but ... still wouldn't do it.
Guest
12:23
Is Birdsong for real? Spring numbers look good.
Brent Hershey
12:23
Intrigued for sure. Needs to prove control against MLB hitters in regular season.
Guest
12:25
Detmers figuring it out or just small sample?
Brent Hershey
12:25
Speaking of guys who need to prove it at MLB level ... more interested here than Birdsong, but still not much more of an endgamer with a short leash

Hi Brent, AL only, standard rotis with keepers. Trade question that seems like a slam dunk. I trade Jaren Duran, $7 needs a raise, for Westburg, $7 needs a raise, Langeliers $1, Estevez, $9 needs a raise. I lose SB’s, but am I overthinking this? Thanks!
Brent Hershey
12:25
Slam it
Dynasty Addict
12:26
Several young SPs are having good springs.  Which of these is worth investing in?  Birdsong, Detmers, Leiter, M. Parker, McGreevy, and Liberatore?
Brent Hershey
12:26
For 2025, I'd prob choose Detmers or Parker
Beano
12:27
Hi Brent! In a 10 team 5x5 with 5 minor league rounds, would either of AJ Smith Shawver or Owen Caissie be good picks with my #1 (4th pick in round 1) or are they better picks for round 2 and beyond. (some bigger minor league names will have been kept)
