You're welcome!
11:21
I think both will have value (and like Gelof a fair bit), but worry about Gil's general usage more

Do all good things come to an end? Enlighten me on Nola & Gallen.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
The Nola injury is infuriating
11:24
I mean, we're not seeing him until post-ASB right?
If you can't tell, I have a few shares
I'm convinced every MLB rib injury was caused by a sneeze
11:25
I've never been a big Gallen fan but didn't think it'd get like this
until he stops walking everyone, it won't get better

How would you rank CES, R Lewis, O Lopez and France?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
Otto > CES > Lewis > France

Is Sheets a one year wonder or does he have a future in SD?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:28
He's not a one-year wonder - EVs and pull rates show that
not just pulling it more - pulling it in the air WAY more
11:29
combine that with big Air% EV increases and thing tend to work out
unfortunately, he's still an absolute disaster vs LHP
even if he's currently playing against them

If/when Bednar gets traded does Santana become the closer? What’s the chance both are traded?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
I do think Bednar will get traded and Santana is the logical choice to take over
11:32
but also it's the Pirates, so they'll probably trade both, along with Oneil to the Rays for Shane Baz and a sack of beans
its the circle of life
Woo-hoo

Looking to add speed to my team in a 12 team 5x5 cat league(only have Tucker, Wood, Buxton for speed) and I have rotation depth. I have an open until spot. How highly should Woo be valued? He's been pretty great. Is Langford too high of a reach? Pena? Other players in a comparable range?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
I like Woo quite a bit but those two are a bit of a reach
11:35
Guys like Turang and Edwards would be in a good range

Is it time for Atlanta to give Baldwin the majority of time behind the plate? Is Murphy trade bait now or is that more of an offseason move?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:37
For baseball reasons, it's 100% the time
for money reasons, they won't
11:38
still owe Murphy like $50 mil and the only way they'll convince someone to take it is if Murphy actually plays
but damn he's just getting worse

Parker Meadows has not been doing a great job since he came off the IL.  If available in a 5x5, AL-only, Roto league, should he be picked up from the FAAB pool?  and, is he better than Alejandro Osuna (assuming that someone must be dropped)?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:40
hasn't started back great but think he's a definite pickup in AL only
much prefer him over osuna

A couple of weeks ago, I posed to you the choice … Stephenson or Zeferjahn.  You recommended the former.  Then he went on the DL.  What do you force as his timeline for returning?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
what even is a "stretched nerve"?
11:43
it doesn't sound like a big deal but also it doesn't sound like anyone knows anything about treating it
From Stephenson:
“It could be something that disappears overnight, could be something that takes a couple weeks or longer,” he said. “They’re kind of tricky, I guess.”
Yeah, you guess right
11:44
And I'll guess we don't see him until July, at least

It’s a question involving Colorado so I know all bets are off, but I recently picked up Freeman, what’s his ROS and long term outlook?
