I know it's only 50 PA but his numbers (reg and x) are super encouraging
.311/.354/.444, .354 woba vs RHP
11:15
.288 xBA/.332 xOBP/..480 xSLG, .351 xwOBA vs RHP
11:16
Also, a .414 babip so we can't go too bonkers yet but his speed makes me give him more leeway on it staying elevated
most importantly, he's started six in a row
might turn back into a pumpkin soon but definitely worth rostering to find out

How concerned are you about C Sanchez’s forearm moving forward?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:18
It's always the biggest of red flags
but he's pitched fine w/ similar velocity, so I guess we shouldn't be worried
11:19
***but I always am

Should I be stashing Bubba Chandler?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:19
Yep definately
should be any time now
No man

Thanks so much for answering our questions Nicklaus!

Absolutely!

Hi Nick, when do the Rays move Yandy and Brandon Lowe?  They can plug in young guys and get some decent prospects.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:21
As soon as they get a good enough offer?
The Rays can say they're not shopping them all they want but salaries say otherwise.
11:22
They're both making $10 mil this year - Lowe then walks, and Diaz is set for $12 mil in 2026
If, not when imo

What you expect ROS from Colton Cowser when he returns?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:24
12 HR, 5 HR, 80 R+RBI, .240ish

Will Roman A. be as good as advertised whenever he debuts?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
I think he'll be really good but I wouldn't break the FAAB bank on him

A few guys under performing on my NL only team include Crews, Young, Harris, and J Ortiz. We passed the ‘it’s April’ period. Is there still hope all or at least some show marked improvement?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:27
Crews and Harris, yes
Young/Ortiz can be jettisoned as needed

How much faith should I keep having in Gavin Williams? Start him vs Philly this week or sell for pennies? Could he be this year's last year's Hunter Brown, who almost tanked my season only to rise from the ashes as a 2H stud?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:29
I'm not sure I'd want to start him in Philly, given better options, but I also wouldn't send him off
The walks continue to be troublesome but I'm generally happy to bet on a CLE pitcher figuring it out
Rae

How would you rank Pfaadt, R Suarez, T Bradley, C Schmidt and Roupp ros?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
Pfaadt > Taj > Ranger > Schmidt > Roupp
Otto Kemp

When are the Phils calling me up? Ive got nothing left to prove in AAA. Oh and guess what? I can play 3rd and elsewhere…a little bit of a plug and play anywhere player.
And, I’m not getting younger
Nicklaus Gaut
11:33
He definately doesn't have anything left to prove
at Triple-A
11:34
but there just isn't an obvious path to anything resembling everyday at-bats
I just don't think they want to call him up for 10-15 PAs a week

Have you played APBA or Strat-O-Matic or any of the simulation games?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
Afraid not
11:35
I'm so su-uuper young
Connecting…
