Bench OF bat in a daily AL OBP league (steals would be nice but so would everything else): Michael A Taylor, Sam Haggerty, cooper hummel, Nolan Jones, John Rave?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:28
ha - in AL only, that pool is only so deep
Taylor > Haggerty Jones > Hummel > Rave
11:29
Can we quickly reflect on how funny it is is 2025 to be picking Michael A. Taylor over Nolan Jones?
We all saw that one coming, yeah?
Hicksy from kenicksie

Where are you on Jordan Hicks? He hasn’t been that much better in Boston but people are spec’ing on him taking over for Chapman. Does the save potential make him better than arms with better results like Matt Brash/Varland/Yariel Rodriguez?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:30
No, I don't think so. I'd prefer the elite setup dudes over the unlikely save spec on Hicks

The same constellation at least, with maybe a new name here and there. Anyway, you're advice is really helpful so thanks! My favorite chat.
Nicklaus Gaut

Thank you!

What are your thoughts on Cam Schlittler or Joe Boyle? Should I dump Lance Mullers for either?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
I'm not huge on Schlittler, so I wouldn't for him
And I love me some Joe but as previously mentioned for the last 10 years, Tampa Bay hates your fantasy team and will try to ruin your season.

So I'm not expecting >30 IP

Bogaerts coming along of late. Healthier? Return close to Boston days? Thank you.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:33
Maybe not Boston days but I'm assuming he's getting right back to a solid (but boring) asset. Gives a little bit of everything, with a good average, in a good lineup
11:34
Very safe, assuming health
which hasn't been easy lately, to be fair
Oswald the Rabbitt
11:35
When Jeremy Pèna went down, I picked up Oswald Peraza, figuring he'll probably be traded for a minor leaguer who I can stash on my roster. Now, though, without LeMahieu, it's looking like he'll play more regularly. Is that a good thing?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
It is not a good thing
11:36
I would rather roster Oswald from the Drew Carey Show
And not peak Diedrich Bader from the 90s - I'd rather have currently 68-years-old Diedrich Bader
Know when to fold em
11:37
Any info on Luis Ortiz gambling investigation? I got him via trade for exactly one start before it began. He'd be a league minimum keeper next year, but if he's not going to play again, I could really use the roster spot for someone else
Nicklaus Gaut
11:37
Hate to say it but I think he's cooked
11:38
Evidence seems strong and, if trure, MLB WILL make an example of him
Room for Romy

I went to a Hairy Potter camp for a while. It was disturbing. Especially when people wanted to do the scene from ghost.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
I told my daughter to run if anyone with clay, and/or feathered hair, came anywhere near her

TB is so annoying! Someone should tell RFK Jr. before he brings it back along with these measles we have now...
Nicklaus Gaut
11:40
More cases in seven months than any single year since it was "defeated"!
Gotta hand it to America -- we go big, not matter what
Room for Romy
11:41
Romy Gonzalez has been great. Is it legit(ish) or just because they've seen so many lefties?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:41
Oh man, I talk about him so much in my weekly points article
It's all the lefties
11:42
He's so certifiably ordinary (at best) but is also sometime Aaron Judge when facing a string of lefties

Speaking of Harry Potter, are you back in on probable House Elf Dobbins when he comes off the IL?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
Oh yeah, gimme that elf
Also that human Dobbins

If the Braves trade Ozuna at the deadline, does Baldwin immediately become a must roster catcher (splitting time between C and DH)? I’ve loved his savant page all year but he just hasn’t been playing enough.
