I think it's Baz

even with Warren's juicy vs CHW

And you're welcome!

Thanks for always bringing good questions, Will

Do you think Megill returns for any regular season games for Milwaukee?

Nicklaus Gaut

10:40

Nope!

I was bearish on how much they would use him even before the setback

10:41

now I definitely don't think they'll try running him about, beyond a "get the rust off" cameo or two

RAGBRAI

10:42

What are the expectations for Flores in Pittsburgh? Next year's starting catcher, utility guy, nothing to worry about for fantasy purposes?

Nicklaus Gaut

10:42

Might be in the mix for playing time, but won't be fantasy-viable in '26, even if he ends up starting

Will in Westport

10:43

Worse than Boone???

Nicklaus Gaut

10:43

Boone is just inept and often just hurts us as collateral damage

10:44

Cash hates us frfr and actively changes his decisions depending on what will hurt fantasy players the most

it's his life's work

Keepers Help

10:44

Next question: Is Profar worth keeping for $9 when I'm already keeping Acuna ($36), Anthony ($8), and Wood ($26) in a 3 OF league (Anthony and Wood can DH)? Total budget is $500, 5x5 with OBP

Nicklaus Gaut

10:44

nah, not at $9

Keepers Help

10:45

I can keep up to 10 players for next season. Ignoring cost, rank these SP's for next season: Bradish, Messick

Sorry, didn't mean to hit send. Bradish, Messick, Sproat, Gore, Sheehan, Waldrep, Sasaki

10:46

Sorry (again!) please include Boyle in that list of SP's

Nicklaus Gaut

10:46

Got 'em all!

10:47

Bradish > Sheehan > Waldrep > Gore > Boyle > Messick > Sasaki > Sproat

Yoshi

10:48

Yoshida batting cleanup against righties. Him or Joc P for my dh slot? (Obp league)

Nicklaus Gaut

10:48

still Joc

Catcher

10:48

O'Hoppe vs Jensen, now and in the future? Who should I invest in?

Nicklaus Gaut

10:48

O'hoppe

Idiotic Failson

10:49

How 'real' is Jacob Marsee? I own some shares of him in keeper leagues in several places at around 4% of my budget (12 team, 40 man roster), wondering if he's worth hanging onto.

Nicklaus Gaut

10:50

he's real enough to keep for cheap

if only to use as a trade chip if he ends the season hot

Followering Up

10:51

Do you see any good followers for this last week? Hitting a starts limit and looking for wins in AL only. Melton? Latz? Blubaugh?

Nicklaus Gaut

10:51

I think Melton is a pretty good gamble

Argh Pee
