Yeah, should be better ... a bit of bad luck but also needs to elevate the ball more. Would want Lowe and Tellez ahead of him, probably Kirilloff too. Right now would take Vaughn over Manzardo.

Do you think Matt Brash is valuable in holds leagues?
Brent Hershey
12:55
Absolutely

Morning all!!

Ronald's little brother, Luisangel Acuña, has caught my eye this season in AA for 'Frisco. It's to the point where I expect the hype to explode by mid-season.

Any thoughts on the kid? Do you see his future in Texas with Seager and Semien locked into long-term contracts?
Brent Hershey
12:58
Been a fun rise to follow, but yes, without injury, there's not much room in that infield at all. Think there is enough athleticism there to try him in the OF, but they've not gone that way yet. These things have their way of working out .. could well be a trade chip later this summer.
Brent Hershey
12:59
OK, lightning round ...
Big J

Pick 1 SP for this week. Dustin May vs MIN (Sonny Gray), Joe Musgrove vs BOS (Chris Sale), Nathan Eovaldi vs ATL (Strider)?
Brent Hershey
12:59
Eovaldi

Hi Brent, I'm 6-1 in my H2H Points League, but *really* struggling to figure out my situation at 1B. How would you rank Tellez, Bell, and France for ROS? I'll likely drop one of them in favor of Drury, who I need as a Chisholm replacement. Thanks for any thoughts!
Brent Hershey
1:00
In the order you have them ranked. France likely the cut

CJ Abrams has improved his hard-hit rate and his walk rate this season, though the latter remains too low. Statcast shows he is squaring up FB and baffled by spin. Any chance the Nationals move him back to the top of the lineup so that SBs manifest and his speed in exploited? Wouldn't this be the year to let him struggle a bit and learn table-setting?
Brent Hershey
1:01
Think this is possible; but are likely to be careful with it as he struggled at the top last yr. Good signs from CJ, tho
Bobby
1:02
Brent -- quick question, my man! Can Eury be a season-winner this year or is that a bit unrealistic?

TY!!
Brent Hershey
1:02
Unrealistic (innings cap). But am a very interested owner a few leagues myself.

10-team NL-only...Mervis or Cooper (MIA) ROS?
Brent Hershey
1:02
Cooper, but close
WildThing

Brent, should I sell Clase before the bottom completely falls out?

Concerned in Cleveland,

Brent Hershey

No, I'd ride

5x5 AL-only Matt Boyd or Daniel Lynch? This week? ROS?
Brent Hershey
1:03
Boyd this week. ROS could be Lynch (I wanna see a couple MLB starts first)
AL-only OF
1:04
5x5, Nate Eaton has PT this week, and my team is struggling in steals. I need to sit one of Jordan Diaz or Gunnar Henderson to get him on my roster. What would you do?
Brent Hershey
1:04
Probably sit Diaz, but not 100% convinced on Eaton. Still believe in Gunnar
KB
1:04
Thanks as always Brent!8 team NL-Only. Schmitt or McLain
Brent Hershey
1:04
McLain. Stable spot, more SB
Matt
1:05
Is Casas a hold in 12-teamers? How are his peripherals looking?
Brent Hershey
1:05
Peripherals are very good. Really should be benched in 12s until he snaps out of it. I think he will at some point.
Craig
1:06
Exercise patience or cut bait on these guys (I have bench spots available to stash)...  Gunnar Henderson, Zach Neto, Chas McCormick, Roansy Contreras.  And which version of Jorge Mateo (April or May) is the real one?
Brent Hershey
1:06
Patience: Gunnar, Roansy
Cut: Neto
Need more info on McCormick; don't have a sense of his post-injury PT just yet.
Ron

H2H points league and wins, IP, QS, and Ks are positive. Loses, walks and ER are negative points. You get 3 SP’s per week. Bieber, Freddy Peralta, and Kirby each have 2 starts this week. However, thinking of benching Peralta because Joe Ryan seems to be getting to the point where you just leave him in no matter the number of starts. Thoughts on Ryan as set him and forget him?
Brent Hershey
1:08
Ryan right now absolutely set/forget. Him/Beiber/Kirby the right call this week
Rick

Do you see Michael Harris as a long-term top tier CF or too worried about his hitting approach?
Brent Hershey
1:09
I've been a bit skeptical ... but could also see him be a fantasy asset or even monster despite having real-world approach issues (the Adolis problem). A growing edge for me personally.
Beano

what is a reasonable FAAB bid for MClain in 10 team 5x5 NL? (we have $100 budgets...)
Brent Hershey
1:10
10-12, maybe? Not as close to your format, though. Look for comps
Vince
1:11
Hi! 10-tm H2H category. Like everyone, can’t find good, consistent SPs … Nola (again, today), Senga, Morton, all can’t be trusted. Was lucky to grab Perez! Need waiver wire help … Ober, Logan Taylor Allen, Heaney, Smiley, C Schmidt some names available. Thoughts
Brent Hershey
1:11
Ober, Allen my faves; Schmidt in the right spots. Tough all around for everyone. Good luck!
Sanchez

Myers or Moose to replace Cron on my team?
Brent Hershey
1:11
Myers
Dave H

Hi Brent- thanks for the chats!  Are we seeing a Lamonte Wade breakout or just a heater?
Brent Hershey
1:12
Could be the former. Some signs
