Astros Lefties
11:39
Do you like Gordon and/or Walter? O/u slade cecconi?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
Slade agains
The Third Duran
11:40
With Jung going down, is it Duran szn in Texas? AL OBP league to replace Haggerty where, full disclosure, I already roster Jhoan and Jarren.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:40
I'm not sure we should be so flippant with a designation as important as SZN
11:41
but in your specific case, probably
Pete
11:42
What to do with Tanner Bibee? Talk about losing the faith. Is he becoming droppable in a 12?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
been bumpy lately but I'm not dropping him in a 12, yet
Luke Keaschall or Turang?
11:43
Who do you think is better for ROS and potentially beyond? I know Keaschall is more of a wait, but he reminds me of Knoblauch with potentially more doubles and triples.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:43
I like Keaschall somewhat in the long-term but would still much rather have Turang both ROS and beyond
Mike
11:44
Would you trade PCA or Acuna for James Wood in a categories league (with OBP)?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:44
I would not
Pete
11:45
Any love for Esteury Ruiz? He’s lighting it up in AAA.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:46
Pretty interesting with the Muncy injury
I can't believe that might just be a sprain
sure didn't look that way
Mike
11:46
with the trade deadline coming up, are there any good "change of scenery" players I could buy low on now? Maybe Bryan Reynolds if he gets moved?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:47
That's a pretty good one -- longtime Reynolds fan. Would love to see him get that Pittsburgh stank off of his soul
Re: non-Oakland Relievers
11:47
Re: Ginn/Perkins - this would be for a daily moves AL Only, competing with Matt Brash and Trevor Rogers for last arm on my staff.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:47
I like Brash/Ginn the most
Trea Turner trade value?
11:48
What is Trea Turner’s trade value? I also have BWJ so Turner has been in the utility slot as well as Ernie Clement & Brooks Lee for reserve.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:49
Another top-10 hitter or an ace -- wouldn't accept much lower
Those who can’t, Cantillo
11:49
Cantillo looks like the spot starter with Luis Ortiz on leave. Has been good in the minors but not very stretched out. Would you speculate on him? If he gets an opener, he’d be in line for wins…?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:50
No, you nailed it - he's not stretched out enough to go deep but if used as an opener could provide value in the right spot
walking a thin line though
Mike
11:51
who is the next big arm I need to stash? It seems like Bubba Chandler is never getting called up
Nicklaus Gaut
11:52
Painter is the best but I struggle to think he'll actually make it up (for good) any time soon(ish)
I like Logan Henderson a lot
11:53
I would add Joe Boyle but you can't ever forget that the Rays hate your (you, specifically) fantasy team and will do anything they can to hinder your success
Junk in the trunk
11:55
Deep league...Janson worth adding as he's barely rostered? I could see him as a high 3's low 4's arm...He's showing good command (1.8 BB%), Barrel (7.8%),  21.9 K% rate (high 32.7% chase rate), .339 BABIP and 119 LOCATION+. However, does have a .299 XBA, 66% LOB, and 95 STUFF+.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:55
Deep league? Absolutely
Dude just refuses to walk people and it makes me laugh
BTinVT
11:57
Thoughts on Lile/Nats? Thank you
Nicklaus Gaut
11:57
Strong-side platoon, but I wouldn't expect too much usefullness unless it's NL-only
Will in Westport
11:58
Hey Nick,  Happy 4th.  And, thanks, as always for doing these chats.  Do you think that Sanday Alcantara will be traded to the AL after the ASG?  Many teams need starters, and he appears to be getting better.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:58
You too!
11:59
He's been much better lately (excepting his last start), at least enough to build trade value.
12:00
but his biggest value is a pretty discounted contract: $17 mil next year, club option in '27
you'd think the Marlins would need to get bowled over to move him, given that
but they are the Marlins and are probably desperate to get rid of his contract, even if it is pretty team-friendly by today's standards
12:01
Whether it's the AL, or not, I don't have a guess -- too many teams need starters
