In a 10 team NL 5x5,  do you like Yadiel Hernandez, Victor Robles or Travis Demerritte better.  Robles has been hitting better. Yadiel has better numbers
Brent Hershey
12:54
Riskier, but Robles has the highest upside. Yadiel #2 for ROS

Quite a few interesting arms up now, could you rank Josh Winder, Kyle Bradish, and Matt Brash based off their recent outings?
Brent Hershey
12:56
Brash ... gap ... Winder, Bradish

Hi Brent.  I stashed Nolan Gorman in one of my leagues.  Do you think that there is any chance that the Cardinals swing Tommy Edman to SS given the lack of production they are seeing there and bring Gorman up to play 2B?  Thank you for doing these!
Brent Hershey
12:57
Don't think Edman can be an MLB-quality SS (range issues). They still might move Edman around some and bring Gorman for 2B, but highly doubt it will be SS.

Hi Brent, our league is 16 teams, H2H categories (standard ten, but with W+QS and Sv+Hd), 32-man rosters. Is it worth selling highish on Bailey Ober (the -ish because he just hit the IL, hopefully not for too long)? Similarly, is it worth selling Ranger Suarez for whatever he’s worth despite his stock being low or sitting back and hoping he turns it around?
Brent Hershey
12:59
Keep expectations low, but hang onto Suarez. Think Ober could be movable if you have other needs, but would not be actively seeking to trade him.

Miggy used to be a big asset on my AL-only team (OB/TB), but now it seems he's only swinging for the fences, and missing a ton. Should I be looking for another CI? Thanks.
Brent Hershey
1:00
Cabrera? Yes, probably looking to move on.
Michael T

Do you think Grayson Rodriguez will be up sooner than later? By sooner I mean before the All Star break. Thank you.
Brent Hershey
1:01
See above answer on Moreno, but my guess for Grayson is later.

12-team H2H 5X5 league with OBP instead of AVG.  Would you trade Brandon Lowe for Aaron Nola?  I'm leading the league in runs scored, and Lowe is batting leadoff against righties, so I can absorb the hit there.  And it seems like there's more power in the free agent pool than starting pitching.
Brent Hershey
1:01
Then yes; this seems to work.

AL only 4x4 Is lopez of Baltimore for real this year or would you rather have Jimenez, staumont?
Brent Hershey
1:02
Lopez seems to have the job; the others have more questions. Dunno how real, but right now I'd hold.
DrDave
1:03
Josh Winder, I don't know much about him.  Do you have anything that might lean me to picking him up?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Solid middle-of-rotation guy, good build, athletic, good control in minors. Not a start, but solid outcome. MIN has had success with a few of these in the recent past.
Michael T
1:03
I am surprised that Josh Lowe was sent down just as he was starting to finally warm up (can't really say heat up). Ironically, he hit cleanup yesterday before being sent down. Any speculation how long before he might be back up again? I spent a lot of FAAB to get him.
Brent Hershey
1:03
It's the Rays, so very tough to know. I'd hold for as long as you can.

Can Sheldon Neuse become a fantasy mainstay at 3B ROS?
Brent Hershey
1:04
In OAK, yes probably. Other places? Likely not.
Katman
1:04
Finally, Brendan Rodgers got two hits and 4 RBI yesterday, but, truth be told, he looks as overmatched as he did before last year’s 2nd half. Any reason to hold on in a keeper league, or is he just waiver fodder?
Brent Hershey
1:04
the latter for now
Michael T
1:05
Should I start Nick Lodolo (assuming he comes off the DL) this week over my alternatives, Mitch Keller or Matt Brash?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Probably, yes, though Brash > Keller if you choose not to
James B.
1:06
Hi, Brett! Thanks for taking questions. Are you sold on the hot start from Michael Wacha?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Liked him a ton coming into the season. Over his head now, but still think there's something there. Going week to week now whether he makes my lineups or not.
Katman
1:07
Would you, in 5x5 NL keeper, trade a termed out Pablo Lopez for a $6 2nd year Luzardo. Competing now, looking to compete next year too.
Brent Hershey
1:07
Yes
Ron

Quickie: Moustakas or K. Smith ROS in points league?
Brent Hershey
1:07
Moose
Bradley
1:07
C. Walker or Naylor ROS? 5x5
Brent Hershey
1:07
Walker. Early season Statcast metrics amazing
John

Is Tyler Stephenson going to play this week?
Brent Hershey
1:08
Always play concussions conservatively.
PJH

Trying to get a Q in under the wire... Dalbec or Espinal in a H2H points league? I'm mostly looking for position flexibility with some potential upside. Thanks!
Brent Hershey

Buzzer beater attempt— who to drop to activate J. Urias: Nimmo, Soler, Vaughn, Cobb? 12 team 5x5 OBP. Thanks.
Brent Hershey

Soler or Cobb
