Just lost Scott, what are some dart throws for saves in NL only down the stretch.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:19
Edwin Uceta, Louis Varland, Robert Stephenson
11:20
NL: Dylan Lee, Calvin Faucher, David Robertson
Dennis Santana/Isaac Mattson too

Please tell me what we can expect for the ROS from Trevor Story and Ceddanne Rafaela in the old fashioned roto categories (avg; hr; rbi; runs; sb).  Thanks, Nick.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:22
Honestly, pretty similar from both, except on average
~12 HR+SB, 40 R+RBI
11:23
but Ceddanne will get you 20-30 more points of BA
GBS42
11:23
Would you replace Dane Myers with Tyler Freeman? Myers has fallen off hard, though Freeman isn't exactly producing big numbers, though a .300+ BA would be helpful with all the AB that come with a leadoff man, and he's hitting for average outside Denver, too.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
Yeah, I would
Freeman's non-Coors numbers are surprising more than decent
Youngest Baldwin Brother
11:23
Is Drake trending towards becoming a keeper, even though keeping catchers usually seems fruitless? Btw it's a 10 team, 5x5 league with OBP instead of AVG, and we get 10 keepers with a $500 budget (he'd be $8 due to our "arbitration" system)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:24
I'm hesitant to keep a catcher in almost any league but definitely wouldn't in a 10-teamer
11:25
A catcher would just have to be so-ooo much better than his peers to make it worth it, most of the time
Injuries: Ugh
11:25
I was lucky in my league that when Paredes went down, I was able to pick up Carlos Santana. (The free agent list is small in our 5x5, 12-team AL-only league.) But now I have another injury issue. Please rank the following players. (I don't need steals, because I have Chandler Simpson):
Andres Gimenez (when he returns), Brooks Baldwin, ML Melendez, Dylan Carlson, Tim Elko (if he returns)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
Gimenez, by a lot
Cantillevered
11:28
In an AL only, obp, daily moves, 3 man bench. Right now I've got no spare hitters. Should I cut one of Brash/Slade/Cantillo for Yoshida? Do you think he gets of eligibility?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:29
Not unless you're forced to
I think he might get it...eventually.
I wouldn't expect it any time soon though
Painting Corners
11:30
Would you try to flip Riley Greene in an OBP league for a positional need bat? He's contributing to categories for me but striking out a ton. I could try to flip him to improve my roster at 1B/2B/3B. Right now, rotating between Aranda, Hoerner, Bregman
Nicklaus Gaut
11:30
I could see trying to flip him to upgrade Aranda
11:31
Good contributor but name value might outweight real value and net you something decent
Ess Pee
11:32
Plz rank, Cantillo, Cecconi, B Walter, Taylor Rogers. Thank you!
Nicklaus Gaut
11:32
Walters > Cecconi > Cantillo > Rogers
Batting Average Help?
11:33
I know this question may seem silly in this Moneyball era of baseball but who are some hitters that I can target to help me in batting average? I was hoping Ernie Clement would be that kind of a guy but sadly he has fizzled off any suggestions beyond the obvious guys who aren’t there like the wands of the world?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:33
Looking at sub 40% rostered guys...
11:34
Andujar
Dubon
Nick Gonzalez
IKF
Spencer Horwitz
11:35
all the Pirates, I guess?
Jack
11:35
How are we feeling about Roki Sasaki in a dynasty league? Used the 1st overall pick on him in the draft this year. I'm holding on to a playoff spot, but am open to moving him for a bat. Is this a sell-low situation or is he a hold?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
I'd move him in the right deal but wouldn't do an obvious "sell-low" deal
Turner Trade Value? Riley?
11:36
Quick question what is Trey Turner’s trade value in a Keeper League? And one thing I am towing with is potentially offering him for Austin Riley because I need help at third base and I’m not 100% sold on Marte from the Reds would that be a fair offer? Or do you think Turner is worth more?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
I want a lot more than Riley, personally
Dylan Cease
11:37
Am I droppable in a 10 team league? Its been horrid trying to figure out why the raw pitching "stuff" does not match the results? Thinking about replacing with Priester or Boyle.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:38
Not for those guys but I'm only starting him against sub-par offenses
Jay
11:38
I’m in a 10 team, 1 catcher league with deep rosters (DH and 2 UTIL spots). I’ve been holding both Perez and Baldwin. Would you keep holding both? Or hold both for now but drop Baldwin if he cools off?
