No. Once they get rolling, it will be a strength.
Would agree w/ this order; I think Rosario/Laureano more likely that Grossman to rebound.
My hunch would be that if you offered Megill around, someone in your league would be willing to give up something more than Kepler. I'd seek out that person. If they don't exist, this works.

Brent Hershey

1:01

Whew! Gotta keep moving; will keep em short from here..

Hi Brent, pick 2 of these 4 players for HR and RBI for the ROS in a points league: Blackmon, Kole Calhoun, Kiermaier, and Larnach. Thanks!

Brent Hershey

1:02

Blackmon and Calhoun

The White Sox have five games, and the weekly planner lists Cease, Giolito, Velasquez, Keuchel, and Cueto. Should I bench Kopech or trust that he will bump one of those others?

Brent Hershey

1:03

Good catch. I'd probably bench Kopech, given how Sox have talked about innings limits with him. Would be a spot where they could give him extra rest

Porcho Villa

Grandal’s 1 for 9 yesterday capped off another tough week. Better plan B at C, both for this season and going forward: Danny Jansen or MJ Melendez? (12-team 5x5 OBP)

Brent Hershey

1:05

In OBP league, I'd hold. See Grandal's 1H/2H splits from 2021.

Porcho Villa

The annual injury decimation struck early this year! Needing some SP depth to bridge the loss of Freddy P and Megill, among others. Which of these guys do you like ROS: Pivetta, T. Anderson, Brubaker, Dunning, Gomber, Eflin, Kikuchi? (12 team, 5x5 QS instead of Ws)

Brent Hershey

1:06

Eflin, Kikuchi, Pivetta

Jorge Soler starting to barrel up. Do you think he can go on a sustained run of .270+ with elite power ROS?

Brent Hershey

1:07

Not 270+ in this environment, no. More like 240-250

Porcho Villa

1:09

Needing saves badly, what’s the best bet—Sewald, Diaz/Warren (CIN), or Feyereisen / J. Adam (with Kittredge hurt)?

Brent Hershey

1:09

Assuming 1 pitcher, give me Adam

Guest

Time to abandon ship on the Jorge Mateo speed wagon?

Brent Hershey

1:10

No, just don't expect 3-4 bags every week.

Guest

1:10

Votto smoking XBHs over the weekend, can he repeat last years run?

Brent Hershey

1:10

Yes. He's Joey Votto.

Guest

1:11

Whom do you like rest of year (5x5): Margot, Naylor, or Naquin?

Brent Hershey

1:11

Margot (if you pref speed) slightly over Naylor (more pop). Naquin not in that convo

herbscoresheet

1:11

Lesser of two evils? (NL, 5x5, this year only) Nick Martinez or Drew Smyly?

Brent Hershey

1:11

Martinez, though Smyly an interesting streamer at times.

Steve

1:12

12 team AL-only traditional 5X5 keeper league. I am wondering how you are evaluating Marcus Semien at this point in the season. He has shown some signs of life but still hasn't hit a HR and his AVG is still below .200. Is he a good sell low or do I need to ride it out?

Brent Hershey

1:12

Not sure what a 'good' sell low means. I wasn't high on him coming in, so maybe I would move on

Dave

1:13

Steven Kwan seems at the end of the line in Cleveland having batter an empty .211 over the last month yet BBHQ Player link is projecting remainder of season performance value in the mid teens. Seems like the projections are grossly in error?? Do you think Kwan will be sent down in the near future?

Brent Hershey

1:13

MiLB history has him better than .211 over the past month. Reality is between April and May.

Goose

1:14

Need mi help in deep NL only league. Please rank knowing it’s also a keeper league; Huira, Hampson, Morel and R Castro.

Brent Hershey

1:14

Castro, Hiura (tho shouldn't/won't have MIF eligibility), Morel, Hampson

Richard

1:14

Hi Brent. In a 5x5, drop Pham or Brantley for Kyle Lewis?

Brent Hershey

1:14

Yes, for Brantley

Richard

1:15

One more -Please rank Carrasco, Ober, Ryu, Jon Gray and Trevor Rogers in a 4x4 (no K''s). Thanks.

Brent Hershey

1:15

ROS - Gray/Rogers/Ober/Ryu/CC

Jack

Hi Brent. Mixed, 16 team league. Was thrilled to obtain Vidal Brujan for $1 in end game of Draft. Now, like probably many owners, am very frustrated by his MLB results so far. He has a 86% Contact and only a 13% Hit (!!), resulting in a .108 BA. He's not striking out, so is it simply an incredible unlucky start, or is there something that I'm missing? Thanks.

Brent Hershey

1:15

unlucky. But Rays make it tough to project future AB
