At this point, not the type of player I'd be keeping, esp given the charging OF studs in SEA behind him. Much bigger fan of his brother Hunter, FWIW.

What do you expect from Jose Altuve this year? He had the fewest trash can bangs.
Brent Hershey

Almost made it through the whole chat w/o a trash can question! :-) So hard to tell how it will affect HOU players, who will get vilified anew at each stadium they visit. With Altuve, I'm probably more in tune with any age-related skills decline than trash can affects. IOW, don't expect more than 15 steals, but good BA and mid-range pop. As with all HOU guys, pay attention and know when to pounce if your room is downgrading them too much.

Dakota Hudson - a pitcher who like some others in the pst will outperform his periphirals or a Pig in sheeps clothing ready to blow up your ERA and ratio

More the latter, until he can get his walks in check. The GB-heavy approach is great, but too many baserunners worry me at this point in his career. He's 25, so I'm watching, but it's mostly from afar right now.

I have Clint Frazier for $1 and Mike Tauchman for $8.  With the fragile NYY outfield, would you keep either, neither or both?

I'm still a Frazier fan; think he ultimately needs a change of scenery. But with the opportunity given the injuries and that $1 price tag, you can't lose, really, can ya? Via our projections, you profit off Tauchman at that price, but I'm not sold on how stable his ABs are. Though if New Yorkers continue to fall away ...

What closer situations are targets for set up guys unseating closer?

Funny you should ask ... In our First Pitch Forum ONLINE program tomorrow night (info: first-pitch-forums-online) one of the slides we'll be discussing is titled: "Relievers who could be closing by June." Preview: Do you really think Wade Davis will last in COL? Keep Oberg on your radar ... and join us Wednesday evening!

Thoughts on those SEA OF "studs" you mentioned? Can you rank Fraley, K Lewis, Kelenic for 2020?
Brent Hershey

For 2020, Lewis / Kelenic / Fraley ... only b/c I think Lewis will get the most AB and give you bunch of HR (though at BA expense). Love Kelenic long term, and I like Julio Rodriguez even more long-term than these three. Dare we say it could be fun in Seattle shortly?

Look for me this weekend in the ToutWars Mixed Auction; we'll do this again next week on Monday or Tuesday. Opening day is just over two weeks away! Thanks, all!
