Severino made me nauseous yesterday -- no one to blame but me for not benching him.  I am hoping for replication of last year's numbers.  Wishful thinking?  especially in Sacramento?
Brent Hershey
1:04
Wishful thinking, yes. Mets/Stearns know what they're doing with SP; my hunch is that support wavers when guys leave

NL only saves holds:  DNunez v. KGraveman ROS?

Hi Brent! As always, thanks for the chats! NL 10 team 5x5 (recently renamed my team: The Chicago Popes!) - on our FAAB pitcher list we find: Roupp, Knack, Soroka, Birdsong and Tinoco. Do I want any of those guys over a $1 Ginkel? (Will Ginkel get saves?)

On the FAAB hitting list, would you keep my Fraley fill-in: Canario or try to get: Kiki H, Hinds, I Herrera?
Brent Hershey
1:05
Birdsong, Knack over Ginkel, who I don't really trust out there.

Herrera

Happy Monday, Brent.  Do you see Casparius or Gusto gaining traction and having ROS impact in a 12-team format.  Would you prefer either over the likes of Taj or Sandy? And is the Jake Meyers revival tour for real? Buy a ticket?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Gusto over Sandy, Taj over the rest. Can you be revived when you were at Meyers' level? FWIW, I'm interested in some of the gains.

In NL only saves holds league, my bullpen ... needs improvement.  Please rank:  Ashcraft, Barlow, Bummer, Chafin, Ryne Nelson (will he be in bullpen?), NMears.    Woof!  Any of these (all?) I should absolutely drop that will hurt me more than help ROS?
Brent Hershey
1:07
Like Ashcraft the best; Nelson the least

What will happen in COL now with new mgr ... will he play AAmador consistently?  If so, I presume he might be worth keeping?  Or should I just cut bait on him?  AAmador v. Jerar Encarnacion ROS in NL only obp league?
Brent Hershey
1:07
Jerar ... and who knows re: COL mgr

How about a spec fab bid on Jerar Encarnacion in NL only?  or just wishful thinking and a bit of a waste of fab?
Brent Hershey
1:08
Nope; take a cheap shot. Was on his way to making the club in spring; they need pop. Will come with some BA risk, but exit velo #s pretty amazing.

When will TAM call up JBoyle?  You are fairly interested in him?  or not so much?
Brent Hershey
1:09
Yes, interested. Could be at any time

AL only saves/holds league.  Is Justin Wilson worth picking up for holds?  Or will he do more harm than good to my ratios ROS?
Brent Hershey
1:09
more harm

AL only with obp league.  I should drop ABenintendi to try and get JCaglionone in fab bid tonight?
Brent Hershey
1:09
Not if Jac is not being called up.

Hi Brent!  Thanks for doing this!  AL only league with obp, with 2 UT spots.  I have 5 1Bs with daily lineup changes -- drives me nuts filling my UT spots and choosing which 1B to bench daily.  Please rank ROS production/value (and any gaps in these rankings):  Manzardo, Yandy Diaz, CWalker, Kurtz, TFrance.
Brent Hershey
1:10
Walker (still believe) / Manzardo / Diaz <gap> France, Kurtz

Hi Brent - how much of your fantasy job is watching games?  Do you try to watch as many as you can or do you focus on certain pitchers, at bats, etc.?
Brent Hershey
1:12
I try to watch as much as is feasible. I do tend to focus on new SP, usually after one of their first starts, to just get a feel for how they manage a game, what they look like beyond their numbers on a page (stats and metrics). Rewatching (can skip through innings; and with that pitcher's team announcers) can be super helpful.
Brent Hershey
1:13
OK, gotta wrap it there. Great Qs as always - both player eval and some strategy (as well as my watching habits!). Ray or I will be back on Friday; I'll be back next Monday for sure. Thanks, all!
