so, YEAH we buy in!
Final Keeper Help!
2:12
Hi Nicklaus! Tonight's my keeper posting deadline, and I need help on my final 2 keepers (I get to keep 12 for winning the title last year). My 10 no-brainers include Witt Jr, Acuna, Guerrero, Langford, Wetherholt, Turner, Gilbert, Webb, Peralta, and Mason Miller. Who would you keep from the following bubble guys: Bellinger, Miz McGonigle, Chandler or Altuve? I'm leaning toward Chandler because of his higher floor over Miz and McGonigle over Belli and Altuve, since he could be the next Utley (before his dirty slide). What do you think? Or who would your 12 be?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:12
Yeah, I concur
2:13
coming off a championship (congratulations!), I'd be more willing to bet on upside
Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope

5x5 (OBP, HR, R, RBI, SB x K, QS, S, ERA, WHIP) league with up to 10 keepers and $500 budget. Currently I'm planning on keeping Drake Baldwin, James Wood, Acuna, Roman Anthony, Skubal, Strider, Gore, Bradish, and Cole for a combined $215. The other guys I'm considering for the 10th spot are Ketel Marte ($58), Keaschall ($8), Daniel Palencia ($8), or Sheehan ($8). Who would you pick of these guys, or would you roll into the draft with just 9 keepers? Oh and the keeper minimum is $8 due to "arbitration"

ketel rocks baby

Who has the better fantasy year Sal Stewart of Bryce Eldridge?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:15
stewart
Still an A
2:16
Is Kevin McGonigle worth drafting? Does he make the opening day roster?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:16
double the question, double the answer?
yeah yeah
Oneil Cruz
2:16
Hey Nicholas thanks doing these again! How do you value Oneil Cruz in a dynasty format? It seems like the opinions are really varied. BA has him in the 50's overall but I've seen a lot of chatter that he might be a straight strong-side platoon this year.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:16
He's a whiffer!
2:17
Never been in, probably never will be
because he's a whiffer!

Welcome back Nicklaus.  You have been missed.  In an AL-only, 5x5 keeper league (auction is a week from tomorrow), I am trying to evaluate two options, EVERYTHING ELSE BEING EQUAL.  Do I attempt Witt (at 48), Josh Bell (at 7), and Jorge Soler (at 7), OR Nimmo (at 25), Alonso (at 35), and Carson Williams (at 1)?  So, the position trade-offs are 1B, OF, and SS.  Thanks.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:17
What's up, Will?
Rather the Witt package
Todd
2:19
Hi Nicklaus, welcome back. Thoughts on Justin Crawford in a H2H categories league with OPS? Volume might not be there batting 9th but he'll be getting on base ahead of Schwarber, Turner, and Harper
Nicklaus Gaut
2:19
I think he's a real good flier
like you said, lack of volume but that's a great bottom of the order to hit in.
James
2:19
Bryce Harper cooked??
Nicklaus Gaut
2:19
nah
RAGBRAI
2:19
Do you have a set schedule for these chats?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:19
not yet, but there will be
2:20
I suspect they will probably be on Thursday or Fridays
Dan

Is Ohtani the best pick at one overall if you are only able to use him as a pitcher or a hitter
Nicklaus Gaut
2:20
100%
James
2:21
When will the world realize that Oneil Cruz is over hyped both in fantasy and reality?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:21
my man, you are preaching to the choir
I have talked so much fantasy trash on that guy
he's. a. whiffer.
Ao
2:21
Crews worth keeping in 6x6 (obp) nl only dynasty (10 team) for $11/4 years?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:21
yep
Sven
2:22
In a restart of a keeper league what would you give up to draft Ohtani where he is 1 player?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:22
#1
  1. he's awesome
2:23
B. He's the only player where a season-ending injury for one position might not end his fantasy season
