What's up with German Marquez? Liked the QS the other day but should I keep stashing him in hopes he's going to turn it around?

Brent Hershey

1:01

I'd look for other options.

Do you believe that Tellez and Yepez will continue their early dominance?

Brent Hershey

1:02

Tellez > Yepez due to track record.

Franmil Reyes appears to be coming out of his funk. He has been dropped in a few of my leagues. Is he worth grabbing...or has his light started to dim?

Brent Hershey

1:02

A month shouldn't dim the lights on a youngerish player like that.

Hi Brent, Do you think that Villar and Ortega will benefit much in playing time with Schwindel being sent down? Thanks.

Brent Hershey

1:03

Wondering if Rivas isn't the bigger winner

Koz

What is going on with Jesse Winker? Is there something beyond (bad) luck that is causing such a slow start?

Brent Hershey

1:03

Good question. Only a month; some signs of life this weekend. Think he's too good of a hitter to not get on a hot streak soon. hold.

I've always had problems competing in my NL-only for SV-HLDS. I generally don't draft closers early and try making up for it with Holds guys later. It's not working- what do you look for when evaluating RPs? Seems like the other managers are snagging them way before I can. Thanks!

Brent Hershey

1:04

Good MLB teams; current high leverage usage when appropriate.

Porcho Villa

Laureano doesn’t exactly profile as an ideal lead off hitter (low CT%/BB%). Yet OAK threw him in the one spot on his first day back. It’s one game, but could they be planning to keep him there to build his trade value? And if so how likely is he to take advantage and boost his roto value?

Brent Hershey

1:05

Not sure it's that, but he's their best OF so should play for sure

Beano

1:06

Do you think Schwindel hits in AAA & returns? I can't see Rivas as the season-long 1b in Chicago...

Brent Hershey

1:06

I'm intrigued by Rivas, tbh. Could be this year's Schwindel w/ slightly less power

Jeff

Weekly Points H2H league. I went heavy pitching in draft. I need a 3b who can be consistent in pts. Had to drop Dalbec. 3b - Yoan, Wisdom, Bohm, Urias are available. Also, wait on Meadows (OF) or cut bait. Mountcastle is available.

Brent Hershey

1:07

Yoan, though Bohm/Urias good also. Meadows > Mountcastle, slightly.

Porcho Villa

1:07

Can you rank these SB plays based on ROS upside: Bader, Margot, Laureano, Wong, Walls?

Brent Hershey

1:07

Bader, Walls, Margot, Laureano, Wong

Brent would you hold onto Max Muncy in a 12 team mixed H2H or Roto league? If not who might you target as a replacement out of Flores, Profar, Miller of CLE, and Neuse?

Brent Hershey

1:08

hold for now

Maineah

1:08

German Marquez has been awful. Drop him for Hunter Greene, Smyly or Elizer Hernandez in 10 team NL-only league thin on starters. Thanks!

Brent Hershey

Will Dom Smith end up having decent value (>$5) this year? (5x5, NL only)

Brent Hershey

1:08

NL only ... yeah, probably need to hold. Still a trade away from being really good.

Buff

1:09

Who do you like to emerge as the closer in Miami?

Brent Hershey

1:09

Like: Scott, but only b/c I have him on a couple of my teams that need saves. :-)
Likely: Think Bender currently has the edge

Katman

1:10

In my bidding this week should I be treating Yepez and Alek Thomas as everyday players or as visiting minor leaguers?

Brent Hershey

1:10

Probably everydayers, but more confident in Yepez than Thomas for that role ROS

Rich

1:11

Hi Brent. MacKenzie Gore has looked good, but I'm a little nervous about the potential starting pitching surplus in SD. Would you trade Gore for Merrill Kelly? George Kirby?

Brent Hershey

1:11

Assuming this year only -- def. Gore > Kirby, and probably over Kelly, too, though it's closer. But better team, more Ks

Guest

1:12

Jain Yepez came up last week, will he be a good addition?

Brent Hershey

1:12

yes

Brent Hershey

1:12

That's all I got this week; got to most. Thanks, all! May the games treat you well ... back here next Monday, noon ET yet again!
