but I'm not bailing
Danny
2:12
Rate this trade Judge and Suarez for Witt and Arrozerena
Nicklaus Gaut
2:12
gimme the Judge side
2:13
but that's also wildly dependent on what each team is looking for, category wise
Travis
2:13
How many prospect fliers to do typically roster
Nicklaus Gaut
2:13
maybe one?
Your Name
2:14
$8 Luzardo or $16 Sale?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:14
Sale
Shortstops
2:14
Tovar or Bogaerts both are only SS eligible but who is better for my final bench spot as my backup to Trea Turner?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:14
Tovar
Brandon Marshmellow Fluff
2:14
I wound up with Edouard Julien for a buck in my NL only 5x5 9 team league. Is there hope that Colorado rejuvenates him, or would I have been better off actually setting the money on fire?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:14
spending a buck on a possible Colorado miracle is worth it
Mitch
2:15
What do you thinf of a trade for 2 overall and a 10th for 5 over all and 5th. 16 team , fresh keeper league.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:15
I'm keeping the 2nd pick
Carlos
2:15
How many users are in here?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:15
Currently? like 50?
2:16
usually fluctuates between that and 100, I think?
also, don't pay a ton of attention, so-ooo...
I need a CF
2:16
Is this the year Harris II hits well for a full season? Or does he still suuuuuuuuuuuck until mid-summer when he starts to rake for the rest of the year and finish with average or better stats?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:16
The latter
The II stands for "too much pain for fantasy managers"
Ao
2:17
We recently added holds as a category to my nl only league. How would you go about drafting Rps: drafting designated saves guys and designated holds guys? Or drafting guys who might get each?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:17
designated, in general
2:18
I'd prefer a combo of a top closer (or two) + a lot of high-leverage guys, and see how it shakes out.
usually end up with a good combo of both
Shohei the GOAThei
2:21
10 team H2H 5x5 (R, HR, RBI, SB, OBP x K, QS, SV, ERA, WHIP), with a 26 man roster and up to $500 budget (after my 10 keepers I have $228). How much would you spend on Shohei? Is he worth half my remaining budget? My keepers are Baldwin, K. Marte, Anthony, Acuna, Wood, Skubal, Strider, Bradish, Cole, and Palencia
Nicklaus Gaut
2:21
yeah, I would, but I'm also a total sycophant
2:22
With a $500 budget/OBP, he's projected as like a $120 player
2026 Nick Kurtz
2:22
I'm in a fantasy league that only counts home runs. We draft at the start of the season and make no transactions the entire year. A total about 400 players get drafted collectively. Can you make a handful of recommendations for players who may exceed their home run projections who are not currently on the 40-man roster or not Top tier prospects?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:22
I don't have this off the top of my head, but let me look and answer this post-chat.

Wetherholt Expectations?
2:23
What are your stat expectations for JJ Wetherholt this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:23
500 PA, 25 HR+SB, .250ish?
Better rookie bet
2:24
Okamoto or Murakami?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:24
Murakami
RAGBRAI
2:25
NL 5x5...Offensive Keepers Chourio 28, Wood 27, Marsee 7, Crews 3, Winn 4 or Swap Winn for Olson at $37? If I keep Winn I have $152 to fill 9/off and 4/pit positions.  If I keep Olson I have $119 to fill those 13 positions.  Thoughts?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:26
Winn's a really good value at that price but I think I'd still rather have Olson, who's still a really good value at that price
and not a shortstop

Thanks for these chats. Background: NL only auction(the only way to do leagues IMO), $270 auction day budget. My offense is loaded so I need to focus on pitching. I have roughly $85 to spend on 5 pitching spots. Logan Webb, Mason Miller and Devin Williams are the top FA pitchers available. I already have Palencia for just $3 so my saves are solid to begin with, so possibly looking at Miller and Williams as a second save guy but without breaking the bank. If I pass on them I would need to choose between bidding on Fairbanks, Duran, Iglesias or an even lower level guy like Ginkel or O'Brien. Which of those 5 would you drop $15-$25 on. FYI our league owners tend to overpay for saves every year.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:28
$20+ for Duran
