Good afternoon Nicklaus,  as always, the world is better now that Opening Day has occurred.  Draft in my AL-only, 5x5 keeper lease was last weekend.  I think that I did well, but (in one way) have an abundance of riches.  Right now, my hitting roster is:  C Dingler, 1B Murakami, 2B Chisholm, 3B Okamoto, SS Witt, MI Keith, CI Walker, OFs Carpenter, Donovan, Rafaela, Soler, and Springer, with U McGonigle.  RESERVES are: McNeil (ATH), Meadows (DET), and J. Bell. 

INJURED list: Casas

MINORS
SS Leo De Vries SS • ATH 
SS George Lombard SS • NYY
Damn Return button; I apologize.  The question is:  do I have the best line up, from your perspective, or would you activate any of my reserves in place of active players?  Thanks.  And I will look forward to the next 27 weeks of conversations.  All the best!!

Nope, you have it right. closest would be Bell for Walker, but I still much prefer walker
to a great 27!

What are the chances he's a post hype sleeper? I got him for $4 in a $400 auction.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:21
that's a great price to find out

Easily offended Reds' fan here: Many pundits picked the Reds to finish last or next to last. But with a full season of Lowder and Burns (Greene's injury hurts to be sure, but he missed a good bit of time last season, too), the addition of Suarez and Stewart, and in my mind a slightly improved bullpen, is the sentiment that last season's wild-card berth was just a fluke? I think the 2026 team is better than last year's club, but you're the expert, so what do you think?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:22
they won't finish last
that's the cardinals
and i think they
1:23
they're better than the Pirates
while I think the lineup is better, the Greene injury did some murdering

Extremely dark horse NL RBI leader candidate? Who else makes that list?

Keep it down, Canzone!

Hey Nick. I'm drafting Sunday. How do I keep my target players from going off before then and driving their prices up?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:24
Never (never!) nominate someone you actually want
1:25
nominate whoever you think will cause the biggest bidding war because of hype, performance, whatever..

Keep it down, Canzone!

Can you rank the hot young arms? Early, Abel, Taj (4ever young), Leiter, Rocker? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:26
Early > Leiter > Rocker > Taj > Abel

Do Gunnar and Adley bounce back?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:26
yes and (relatively) yes

Ughhh, what do the Pirates do with Oneil Cruz?  He contributed much to the poor performance of Paul Skenes yesterday.  If those two fly balls are caught, they’re outs…and prevents 4 runs from scoring.  In hindsight, too bad the Pirates didn’t work Cruz at 3rd base during spring training.  He’s clearly not situated to play center field.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:27
what a disaster
I've been making jokes about his whiffing so long, it feels like piling on to mock his fielding
bwtaf?
cool 1
1:28
He's just lucky that Paul Skenes mustache wasn't so motivated by hate that it popped of his face and strangle Oneil in the night

Bubba Chandler, Jose Soriano, or Injured McKenzie Gore?  All are available to me.  I am leaning Soriano, I guess, because I think he is a better pitcher but am unsure about the supporting casts in LAA and PIT.  H2H 10 team.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:29
big Soriano fan here
I choose him
Grand Romano
1:29
Is Romano worth a pickup atop the pecking order in LA? And can I therefore call it the Pecorino Order?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:30
yes and yes
he's got his flaws, but it's still cheddar than the rest

Chase DeLauter, O/U 324 home runs?
Nicklaus Gaut

gotta smash the over
1:31
high leverage play
Keep it down, Canzone!

What about the old fellas. Can you give relative interest for Eflin, Matz, Scherzer?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:31
slight creaking interest in Eflin
