Colton Cowser

11:33

Keep or drop in dynasty?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:33

drop

Baltimore Chop

11:34

In that vein...NL only - battling for the ring. time for me to dump Strider and Sandy for relievers the rest of way? Any hope for a turnaround over the next few weeks, they have been ERA and Whip killers.

Nicklaus Gaut

11:34

Sandy is definitely a good candidate

but I'm keeping Strider (but maybe not starting), if only to keep the competition from grabbing him

RAGBRAI

11:35

Nola should return to Philly this weekend some time. Rehab starts looked good, but he had unsightly starts/stats before the injury. Do I trust him ROS? What would you expect for stats?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:36

I'm trusting him -- thought he'd been a little unlucky prior to injury

and definitely starts strong on the schedule front, currently lined up against Washington for his first two

Wayne

11:37

I’m thinking about going after Darrel Hernaiz for my AL Only roto team. He’s young but I see some definite potential. Your thoughts?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:38

I wouldn't get too excited

seems a little Quad-A-y, to me

Guarded Indian

11:39

Is it too early to roster Kayfus?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:39

Yeah, prolly

11:40

30% K% and .350 BABIP says we need to wait a bit

RAGBRAI

11:41

How does McLean do ROS in NY? Does he start rest of the season or get moved to BP due to innings limit?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:41

Like the talent but I can't imagine they'll let him put up a ton more innings

11:42

currently at 113 IP, had 110 IP last year

Dan

11:42

Dylan Crews back today. Activate him and drop Victor Scott III?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:42

yeah, rather have Crews

High King Elessar....maybe?

11:44

5x5 with QS: would you keep Strider next year at $58? $500 budget, 10 keepers. 26 man roster

Nicklaus Gaut

11:44

Ugg, $58 is prolly too steep

$500 budgie tho...

11:45

I'd think I'd lean keep but team context would play a big role

Pete

11:45

How bullish (or bearish) are you on Dylan Crews over the next 3 years? Can he go full (good) PCA or is that too tall of an order?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:46

I'm fairly bullish but PCA-level are too high of expectations

If you can't tell, I tend to be overly cautious with youth until they 'really' prove it

baseball is super hard

For the Mets this coming offseason, what free agents SPs do you see them targeting? Stearns historically hasn't gone for long, expensive deals for FAs, but that also could have been due to the owner in Milwaukee. Any particular starters under team control he could target (ie, Joe Ryan)? Or do they just go crazy and roll with 3 rookies in McClean, Tong, and Sproat? (Seems unlikely.) And yes, given how the last 2 months have gone, I'm already looking at next year. *eye roll*

Nicklaus Gaut

11:47

Umm, the cheapest one who is also the most likely to get hurt?

poor Mets fans
