Getting killed by injuries in my H2H points league. It looks like my choices for the rest of the season at 1B are down to Cron, Belt, or Sano. How would you prioritize them? Thanks.

If this sticks for rest of season, have to steer clear of current injured player (Cron). Prob Belt in a points league, even though Sano's potential power much greater. But ... so many outs.

I'm trying to make up ground in Sv+Hd league in my 10-team keeper league. We have up to four slots for relievers. Any under the rader-type guys out there who could help in this category?

Scour the good MLB teams and look for 7th/8th innings usage. In a 10-teamer, prob some setup guys available (those better as they could run into saves). Lots turnover, so feel free to churn. Tampa (Fairbanks, Kitterege), Houston (Paredes coming back, Stanek), NYY all good places to look.

Romano of Jays is throwing 55% strikes. That doesn’t work. When is Chatwood closing?
Brent Hershey

Mix and match all year is my take. Chatwood will get his chance; good luck trying to "call" when that will be. :-)

Reds going committee all year?

Seems to be the plan for now; though I get the sense they'd like Garrett or Sims grab ahold of it.

Any hope for Yelich this year?
Brent Hershey

Yeah, it's early, and backs can be managed. But managed means that even once he comes back, I'm counting on frequent rest days. Not good for those of us first-round invested. :-)

What do you expect ROS from Jazz Chisholm? BA regression seems likely, but so does 40 SB.
Brent Hershey
1:07
Yes; both possible. Could be that even with all those Ks, the HR/SB numbers make up for the lower (in the end) BA.

Tommy Pham hit the wire in a 5x5 OBP league... worth betting on a rebound?
Brent Hershey

My gut says yes, but my head will know more later this week, when we have a Pham deep-dive article coming on the site.
