I think Garcia is a shoo-in

8-team NL-only, 5x5 Roto. Would you keep any of: S. Alcantara ($9), M. Boyd ($9), A. Painter ($5)?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:39
Not Sandy
Boyd is fairly priced, it would depend on rest of budget
1:40
If I could afford it, I'm keeping that $5 buck lotto

Last questions (I think...). Would you keep B. Doyle ($9)? Also, I could keep B Eldridge for $1 for this year and next, but he was just sent down. 1B is surprisingly thin, but a dead roster spot to start the year kinda sucks. Thanks for all the assistance!!!  It's great to have you back!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:40
fair price for doyle
1:41
Eldridge is probably worth the dead-spot/$1
Freeze. Music, please.
1:42
AL Only, OBP, 10 teamer. I can keep 2 of Vladito $35, Varsho $4, and Bubic $1. I think you’re taking the back 2, but I’m still asking! Thanks!!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:42
lol sorry 'bout that
Freeze. Music, please.

Hey! Last week you gave me an answer to a related question that made my head spin. Which I think is a good sign? I’m gonna put it to you more simply:
Nicklaus Gaut
1:43
In a budget-less vacuum, I'd keep Vlad and Bubic

Thank you as always, NG... I have pick 9 in a 15 team 6x5 robo league where OBP, SLG and AVG are included... (plus RP, HR, SB)... in that context, in the first round would you pickJose Ramirez, Kyle Tucker or Paul Skenes?  (My bet of the top people available at 9.)  Ramirez seems like the obvious choice except he is 33 and will probably get pitched around a lot... Going pitching in a 6x5 seems silly, no?  I see some pundits hyping Tucker, but he always seems to have something go wrong for half of every season.  Yordan should be out there, but why would i tie up the U slot right away.  Discuss.
Nicklaus Gaut

I'm still taking J-Ram.
raw value is similar between him and Tucker, but 3B falls off a cliff in a hurry, and I'd prefer locking him down
Extra years, extra tears
1:46
What’s your stance on long term contracts in a keeper league? I’m usually against since I’d rather have money and things can happen, but I’ve got a $5 Caminero in AL Only OBP and it seems crazy not to go to $10 for 2 more years or even $15 for 3. Thoughts?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:46
Yeah, I'm with you
usually avoid long-term but that particular situation calls for it, imo

Will TON extend his dinger streak to 7 opening day?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:46
only a sad panda would root against it
I say yes!

NL only 5x5, Singer worth $6 in a $260 budget? What do you project for him?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:48
Yeah, think that's getting a couple buck discount
Freeze. Music, please.

PS: Varsho wasn’t really on my list, but his spring has been bananas and he went for $19 in AL Tout. Is the homer binge 4 Realz?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:48
lol $19?
1:49
that's drinking a LOT of spring kool-aid
1:50
to be fair, I do believe in the power bump, but $19 seems excessive, even in AL-only

What 5 hitters do you think have the best chance to challenge Ohtani and Judge for MVP? What 5 pitchers do you think have the best chance to challenge Skubal and Skenes for Cy Young?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:51
Soto and Acuna are the only (mostly) reasonable options
for Ohtani
1:52
I guess you could make a case for Witt or Vlad, but I think it'll be Judge's to lose
Bryan Woo darkhorse!
1:53
Or really, any of the Seattle trio
I don't think anyone is touching Skenes either
but I guess, Yamamoto?

Emerson Hancock has a rotation spot and a nice spring K-BB%. Any reason to be interested?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:54
I have multiple shares
Dave

Last Keeper standard NL Roto. Miller $28 or Abbott $5
