NL-only weekly 5x5 w/ deep benches, and all my 3B suck: McMahon, Norby, Candelario, and Bride (we can keep players traded to the AL). Is Sanoja worth picking up? I'm worried about his PT when O. Lopez (who I also have) returns. Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
limited
11:37
as you said, his PT is probaby going poof in a couple of weeks
you can bet he'll produce more in that window then your other options, but I'd probably still pick the field
Mike

which of these players is it time to dump? Alcantara, Devin Williams, Semien, Cody Bellinger, Vinnie Pasquatino? Or do I try to buy low on any?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
You can dump Sandy, as needed
11:40
I still think Pasq will turn it around and the others probably don't have better substitutes from the wire
Please trim this staff
11:40
13 team mixed 5x5, of the following starters whom would you be dropping, if any (reserve slots are available)?  Crochet, Brown, Woo, Sale, Schwellenbacher, Ray, Bibee, Baz, Strider
Nicklaus Gaut
11:41
Do you have to?
I'd prefer to keep all but Baz would be first
then Ray
Zenslinger
11:42
Alacantra: shop, drop, or bench? Actually, no one trades in my league so just the last two options.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
Bench but can also drop as needed

Hey Nick …. Thanks, as always for doing these chats.  In a 5x5, AL-only Roto league, two trades:  Goldschmidt for Kerry Carpenter, and Estevez for George Springer.  Which side would you prefer in either (both).  Have a huge lead in Saves, need power (especially in outfield).
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
Absolutely!
Given circumstances, I'd definately do Estevez for Springer
11:44
I'd rather have Goldschmidt, in a vacuum - Carp has a slight power advantage but Goldy returns a lot more overall
Will in Westport
11:44
Habeam papem!!
Nicklaus Gaut
11:44
What does purple smoke mean?
I assume the Joker

Chisholm's comments about (potentially) 3 lat tears.  Should that delay his pending return?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:45
Can't be good
Prognosis...NEGATIVE!

Hope you're healing well!

How soon before we see Bubba in Pittsburgh and does he come up to stay up?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:46
Tick-tock, the clocks almost out
11:47
He stays unless he gets unexpectably blown out of the water
GBS42
11:47
And you kid gets better soon.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:47
Me too!
GBS42
11:49
*definitely* doesn't have an "a" in it ;-)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
chats move fast lol

What type of bat can I get for Gallen or Nola? Do I shop them now or wait for the ERA to come down a bit more?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
I'd wait -- your get-back right now would be pretty not great
GBS42

Next week, I have Tylor Megill and Griffin Canning lined up to start at the Yankees. I'm planning to bench both and put on Roupp (home vs A's) and a MR (probably Vesia, maybe or Bummer). Sound reasonable?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:50
Yeah, that's reasonable -- no interest in either of those NYY starts
Bubba Gump
11:51
Is May likely to stick in the rotation all season, or get dropped into the bullpen when the injured starters get back or they buy some new starters?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:51
I think all season is unlikely
11:52
He'll probably survive once the ILs come back but like you said...you know they're going to buy themself someone else, right?
Connecting…
