It's all about price for me

1:18

Like to roster him, but I'm not going to pay for high expectations

1:19

Nl only 6x6 10 team dynasty. I can keep Hunter Greene at $17 for the next 2 years. Should I? Or should I try an get him back cheaper? Same with schwellenbach l, but I have him at $12 for the next 2 years.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:19

Definitely throwing Greene back

1:20

I'd hear an argument for keeping Schwellenbach, but I'd probably toss him back too

A Poor Game Theory

1:20

ABS challenges, are there fantasy platforms that include these yet?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:20

not that I'm aware of

Too Soon for Early?

1:21

Tolle, Early or neither for a flier in an AL league with a 3-man bench?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:21

I'm like Early quite a bit

1:22

Honestly, Tolle's not the worst flier, but I'd much rather have Early, from a personal standpoint

I’ll Keep it With Mine

1:22

Hey Nicklaus! So great to have these back.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:22

Thank you!

Great to be back!

AL Only OBP 10 team keeper. Can you rank or just pick a couple favorites from Vladito 35, Springer 15, Pepiot 11, Bednar 10, Aranda 7, Varsho 4, Bubic 1? Thank you!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:24

Springer is at absolute steal

Varsho too

1:25

I'd love a buck Bubic too

the others are fairly valued

Pick five in an NL only 5x5. Olson-37, Chourio 28, Marsee 7, Crews 3, Winn 4, N Marte 3, J Ortiz 1, H Kim 1. Thanks! Glad these chats are back.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:28

Chourio, Marte, Crews, Winn, Olson

but don't love that Olson price

Closer or Closest

1:29

Any preference between AL East closers Chapman and Bednar?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:29

chapman if you twisted my arm

but they're pretty much the same for me

Tom Shopay

1:29

Are we done seeing 'when will Jo Adell be traded?' questions in these chats? thanks for all y'all doing these!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:30

lol

We'll never be done bro

unrelated note: our children have infected our house with a previously unheard of level of "bro's"

Mike

1:31

Is Nick Kurtz a top 30 player or do you have concerns about K rate and his ability to hit lefties?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:31

yeah, I think so

1:32

he's certainly inept vs lefties but overwhelms righties enough that it won't matter in totality, from a fantasy perspective

don't love him in H2H though

Mike

1:32

Spencer Strider. Rebound year or is he now mediocre?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:33

somewhere in between?

I don't think it's a massive, back-to-aceness rebound, but I think he'll be well above mediocre

Hello, thanks for the fantasy chat. I'm in an NL only roto auction($270 cap) keeper league and I'm in need of another closer. I have Daniel Palencia on my team for cheap at $3 already. Mason Miller and Devin Williams are both free agents going into the auction. There are several other closers available this year as well but I'm focused on these two. I'm debating going up to $32-$36 on one or the other. I have a total of $97 going into the auction to spend on 9 spots. I will fill 3 spots with taxi guys I currently have in Wetherholt, Ballesteros and Caissie. So essentially I have $94 to spend on 6 players when I buy $1 players to be replaced with those 3. Who do you have more faith in delivering for an elevated price like this? Being NL only adds layers of complications obviously. We like the challenge of NL only rather than making all star teams using both leagues.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:35

Miller, for sure

honestly, that price is elevated, but it's not even that crazy for NL-only

I love miller so much

1:36

hey, what a time for an organic topic switch!
