Happy Memorial Day...                                                                             -have C Kelly as my C in a 15..Campusano on DL...Susac, Garver are FA....what do I do ( I had A Ramirez)                                                        - one starts, one bench and one drop...Kelenic, Laureano and O Peraza  ( C Seager will take that spot when he comes back)                                                                                              THANK YOU
Brent Hershey

Rock Kelly for now; Susac would be my next choice, then Campy (if/when health returns). Have little faith in Garver

Start:Peraza
Bench: Laureano
Drop: Kelenic (word is he's being DFA'd today anyway)

Thank you for sharing Memorial Day with us. Some start of sits for this scoring period: 5x5 with obp and solds 16 teams: pick two catchers to start: Ruiz, Jesus Rodriguez, Wells. Pick two starters to start Ray, Prielipp, Castillo, Mlodski. Pick one reliever to start: Williams or Grant Taylor. Thanks!
Brent Hershey
12:37
C: sit Wells
SP: Start Mlod and Prielipp
RP: Taylor

how do you see this Miller/Castillo piggyback situation playing out in SEA?
Brent Hershey
12:38
The first half-step action of Castillo's ouster from the rotation, unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong, but feel like it will be 2-3 times through with this, and then LC moves to a fulltime middle relief guy
Broken bat
12:39
appreciate the time. Cut dilemma. Have Langford soon coming off IL. Need a spot… Comoeting to W this year, but need help in BA and SB.: the Moving parts… I will have Lile, Bleday, Soto, Langford, Raefela, Crews, Keaschall, McLain all linked.
Chess game moves:
Brent Hershey
12:39
Keaschall or McLain would get the most cut consideration for me

Sam Antonacci is interesting. How big of an impact can he make ROS?
Brent Hershey
12:42
Super solid start; feel like his current production is a fair expectation for the ROS. Good bat-to-ball; not much pop, fantasy usefulness with SB. Really good stuff if he's continues slotting in near the top of that order

Hi Brent-- NL only -- Have Wenninger on my minors roster.  Thinking of flipping him for Yohandy Morales of Nats.  Any views on Wenninger or Morales? Can also replace with Steele Hall, Millbrandt or Southesine who are farther away.  Any thoughts?
Brent Hershey
12:47
Skeptical of Morales overall (I cover the Nats minor leaguers for BHQ), but last month can't be ignored, either. Still just 24. As far as fantasy roster, def rather have a hitter over pitcher all things equal, but Wenninger for me is the better overall prospect, is pitching well at AAA, and will be in the mix for a promotion soon, I'd think. I'd probably sit tight unless your COR of your roster really could use some help this season.
Jobu
12:48
Taj Bradley looked stellar coming off the IL. Whats your expectations on him ROS?
Brent Hershey
12:48
Think there's a good chance this IL is just a blip and he's a breakout player when we look back in September.
Christopher

Ks are piling up for Cade Cavalli and the whip has been under control last 3 starts. Seems to battle even in the starts where the control gets away from him, reminds me of early CWS Dylan Cease. Top 15-20 SP for the remaining 2/3s of the szn??
Brent Hershey
12:50
Cease a decent comp in that sense, yes. Top 20 ROS? I'd vote no, but he's probably close and yes, does have the skills to get there eventually. Profiles like his tend to encounter some bumps early on, which I think we've seen so far.
Christopher
12:52
How concerning is Brent Rookers swinging strike % at this point of the season?
Brent Hershey
12:52
Not much right now, did miss a couple weeks of action so it's not a full sample size given where we are in the calendar. Worth monitoring, but unfortunate h% is prob the bigger issue at the moment.
DrDave
12:53
I'm sitting in 1st place thanks to BBHQ and BABS but I need SB in my AL-only.  Since I have last pick on the waiver wire I need to dig deep.  I just noticed the CWS just called up Nishida who is speedy.  Do you have any insight to offer on whether this deep dive is worthy?
Brent Hershey
12:53
Tough profile - undersized guy; not sure where he fits in the roster, PT-wise. Doubtful he'll make an impact.
Rick
12:54
Chandler Simpson over Justin Crawford this year? What about over next few years?
Brent Hershey
12:54
This year; yes. Would want a full year of Crawford to make that call ... but I do know there is more juice in Crawford's bat, so I'd likely lean his way long-term.
Rick
12:55
Spencer Steer has played multiple positions this year for the Reds and is hitting pretty well. What are your thoughts about him long-term?
Brent Hershey
12:55
Limited upside, but flexiblity can be fantasy helpful, both from a real-life (more pathways to AB) and fantasy (move him around our rosters) perspective.
Lou
12:57
Thanks for the Memorial Day chat, Brent. NL-only, dynasty. Looking for FAAB advice on two players. I own Matt Shaw, a man without a country. Good idea to place an aggressive bid on Pedro Ramirez today? I can see the Cubs dispatching Shaw in a deadline deal. Second target today: Wilber Dotel. Impressive velo on a team without a 2027 closer. Good speculative bid as a back-end bullpen piece?
Brent Hershey
12:57
If they dispatch Shaw, that would seem like a good thing for his PT. Also easy to see Ramirez going back down when Shaw returns. Interesting player; not sure where the MLB roster fit is for him right now.
Love love love what I've seen of Wilber Dotel so far. Speculate away

Brent , 12 team redraft non keeper rank these SP ROS B Chandler R Detmers C Preclipp , s Matz K Anderson . Thanks
Brent Hershey
12:59
Detmers, Matz, Prielipp, Chandler, Anderson (just not sure he gets enough IP). Chandler to top of this list if he can figure our how to throw strikes

H2HP league - Is it worth dropping Jack Leiter after this week starts and pick up Ryan (LAD)?  Current staff - Alcantara, Ben Brown, Chapman, Kirby, Leiter, Mason Miller, Palencia, Hunter Brown, Jared Jones, Bryce Miller, Tolle and Fried.  Start 7 AP.
Brent Hershey
1:00
No; would keep Leiter. If/when Ryan gets called up, then I might consider
Jackie Treehorn

Good afternoon Brent!

12-team redraft H2H points league. Bogaerts is in a huge slump, dump him for E Duran for this week and ROS? Seems like Duran's spot in the lineup everyday is still tenuous and not confident he still has a spot when everyone gets healthy. Bogaerts has such a proven track record and torn b/c need production from SS.
Brent Hershey
1:01
Could see this ... just wouldn't expect Zeke to be a full-year answer.
Brent Hershey

OK, got to almost everyone, but need to run. Enjoy the games, food, family and friend this Memorial Day! Ray will be back to chat on Friday, and me next Monday. Thank you all!
