Hello, friends

Lots o' questions, let's get to it

Thanks for the chat!

1:01

Any guesses when Bryce Eldridge might get called up to the major league roster?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:02

Even if he goes to Triple-A and completely rakes, I think he's still a post-June guy

too many whiffs, definitely needs def reps

Mike

1:02

what sleeper pitchers do you like for the last couple of rounds in a points league?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:03

Matt Boyd

Merrill Kelly

Jack Leiter

Level of concern with Josh Hader’s injury? Who are some good “secondary” relievers who may have a chance to accumulate saves or take over as closer as the season progresses?

Drinking the Haderade

1:03

Given the Astros history to misrepresent (read: lie) about injuries and the sketchy shoulder injury, would you skip Hader in a solds league for Abreu?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:04

Longtime readers know what I'm going to say

You CANNOT trust the Astros

I mean, really, any organization

but especially them

I'm skipping hader, at this point

1:05

let someone else gamble

"he says, knowing full well he has him on at least one team"

It was the price, I swear!

Please give me 5-10 names of players who will exceed their projected home run totals the most. (min projections of 15)

Nicklaus Gaut

1:06

Don't know if I've got ten, but here's a few

1:07

James Wood

Issac Paredes

Neto

Wallner

and the projections say 35ish for Eugenio, but I'm back on the 40+ train

1:08

just for fun, gabriel arias

Conundrum of Abrams. Has CJ peaked or is he a late bloomer?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:08

I think we have the book on him, at this point

1:09

basically given us three identical seasons

he's a top-50ish fantasy hitter - how far he goes above/below that will probably depend on his run production AKA how bad are the Nationals at that point of time

In a H2H categories league, with my 7 starting pitching categories being W, K, CG, ERA, WHIP, QS, should I try to aquire another 2nd or 3rd tier ace like pitcher to pair with Christopher Sanchez and George Kirby, as my only other starters are Chase Burns, Mitch Keller, Michael Wacha,

Nicklaus Gaut

1:10

Yeah, I would

If not, your rotation has fall off a cliff potential in a H2H format

Big AL

1:11

Scoresheet league- can you rank these RH RPs for me? Saves etc, do not matter. Performance does.
Tyler Phillips, Calvin Faucher, Bradgley Rodriguez, Taylor Clarke, Ryan Stanek. Thanks!!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:12

Faucher > Bradgely > Clarke > Stanek > Phillips

AL-only, traditional 10-team Roto league. Looking for some speed. I have Robles on Seattle and DeLuca on Tampa, both at $8. I can only keep one. Balancing everything, is DeLuca the better option? Or neither?!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:13

I don't like either of them at $8

but favor Robles

Top Holds Relivers?

1:14

Hi Nicklaus! Who are your top 12 relievers for holds and why?
