Bassitt - schedule does look good. I'd probably throw it this part of the season rather than the reliever list you have.

I know it's been a mess, but would still go DevWilliams out of that three.

And Julien for me on UT. Good luck!

AL only, obp league.  Please rank ROS:  Wallner, Cowser, JLowe.    I have fab bids on:  Taveras, JPederson, ZMcKinstry to replace 1 or more of them.  Do you agree?
Brent Hershey
12:42
Rough trio; but Cowser, Wallner, JLowe. Would prefer Taveras to all 3, but not Pederson or McKinstry

Hi Brent, thank you for your advice: would you drop walker for winn or kilian or would you still be patient. I don’t have room for more than one.
Brent Hershey
12:43
I'd take a Killian shot there. But as I said earlier, I highly doubt SF will settle on one guy. So in that case, I just go skills.
Fernand
12:44
Hi Brent, canning seemed to have had a good first mlb start. Would you drop walker, cantillo, baz or garrett for him?
Brent Hershey
12:44
Cantillo and Baz - no
Garrett - probably not
Walker: yes (no matter which one)
Rick

How do you value these young struggling players long-term?  Henry Davis, Marcelo Meyer, Mayo, and Cowser? Do you think any of them will become productive starting players? Thanks and thanks for always making Monday (sometimes Fridays too :) a better day
Brent Hershey
12:47
Like Mayer the best right now (making better contact; perhaps new mgr sees more than a platoon). Still some hope for the other three. Davis' bat speed is up there, but little else so far.
Wade
12:49
Is there any hope for Adolis Garcia or just cut bait and try C Cortez or Eldridge?
Brent Hershey
12:49
There's some hope. Chasing/K-ing a bit less; nice EV numbers. Cortes is realy, too ... but AG has the job. Interested in Eldridge but not at AG's expense.
Rick
12:49
Regarding Chandler. Has his long-term value taken a hit or are his struggles just growing pains?
Brent Hershey
12:49
Growing pains for me; still like him long-term.
Cale Makar
12:50
Good afternoon! Are there any updates on the rehab for Joe Musgrove? I haven’t seen much on his progress or lack thereof. Thank you.
Brent Hershey
12:50
Same here; I'm not really that hopeful of production in 2026.
Brett
12:51
NL only league. Getting buried early. Have Turner, Machado, and Freddy Freeman. Any concerns or just be patient?
Brent Hershey
12:51
Patience! 5 months left

10 team Roto AL only with OBP. Please rank following for DH. Cortez,Antonacci,schneeman,Jeremiah Jackson,Jung, bassano, Rochhio, Dominguez. Thx for chat!
Brent Hershey
12:53
If Bassano = Basallo (BAL DH), then
Dominguez / Basallo / Schneeman / Jackson / Cortes / Rocchio / Antonacci / Jung

Brent, thanks for running the chat.  4x4, AL-only league with ks instead of WHIP, 12 teams.  I likely will need to decide whether to keep Daniel Lynch or Ian Seymour as my last pitcher, as Kirby Yates will be returning soon to my roster.  Which one would you keep, or should I just flip a coin?
Brent Hershey
12:54
Lynch, as he is closer to roto-centric contributions.
Joe
12:54
Hey Brent, thanks for taking my question. For the rest of the season, who do you prefer for overall performance between Cam Smith HOU and Church STL? Thanks
Brent Hershey
12:54
Smith; fairly easily. 2H breakout on the table.

5x5 AL Only roto. Austin Hays just back but not playing FT. Can't fathom playing 3 CHW so which of these three has the least chance to be effective ROY...Meidroth, Antonacci or Hays? They gotta go..
Brent Hershey
12:56
I'd prob move on from Meidroth, though could see Hays, too. Think they'll give Antonacci a shot.
Lou
12:58
Thanks, Brent. NL-only, 12-team, 40-man dynasty roster. I acquired Dalton Rushing for .60 at auction this year, with Ivan Herrera as my primary C. I have Ethan Salas and Raniel Rodriguez on my "farm". Is now the absolute best time to deal Rushing, and do you think his perceived value outweighs his actual? I know his pop is legit, but I'm in second place and only a point out.
Brent Hershey
12:58
I'd hold ... b/c if he got traded somewhere else, or if the back thing disables Will Smith, then I think Rushing's stock goes up even more.
Baseline Dribbler
12:58
Latz for real?
Brent Hershey
12:58
Their best reliever for now, it seems
Porcho Villa
12:58
Waiting for bad news on Ryan. Who’s the best SP add ( 5x5QS): Cavalli, Taillon, Burke, Detmers, Abbott?
Brent Hershey
12:58
Cavalli or Burke
Bryce Eldridge
12:59
How much and where am I going to play?
Brent Hershey
12:59
As mentioned earlier, I can't wait to see. But I think you play muchly.

Good morning Brent.  Love these chats!  Have Snell coming back next week and will need to move an SP.  16 Team Mixed Keeper League.  I have G Williams, Baz, Eury P, Harrison and Painter.  I also have B Miller coming back eventually.  Which two of those 7 do you like the least and briefly, why?
Brent Hershey
1:01
Miller first; feel like he's a rung below the other on the skills ladder. I still like Baz, but he's probably the cut for Snell. With that crew, I'd wait as long as I could to active Snell, though.
Rick

With Augustin Ramirez being sent down and Mack taking over at catcher, where does that leave Ramirez long-term? Do they hope he gets turned around in the minors and hits enough to end up being their starting 1B? Or does his future look more like a backup catcher and utility type player?
Brent Hershey
1:02
His CA defense is so bad that a position change is in his future for sure. 1B, maybe even DH. BUT ... just curious why they sent him down for that (if that's the case). He can still hit; so I'm holding where I can. But don't think he gets much more time at CA in 2026
Fernand

Hi Brent, do you understand why Miami manager confirmed Paddack next start immediately after his Sunday stinker? Garrett is on the 40 player roster, and seems to be doing well?
