1B Surplus
1:48
Not for tecnical keepers, but right now I have too many 1B on my roster and very little speed. Please pick 2/3 to keep from Pasquantino, Dom Smith, and Jake Burger. I have very little roster flexibility because on a given day 2/3 of those take 2/5 of my bench/utility spots and xander bogaerts and 2 of my whopping 5 outfielders take the other two bench/utility spots.(I have no backup at 2B/3B also but will likely add a andres gimenez/jonathan india type player to replace the 1B

Vinnie and Burger

How much should pitcher matchups impact my players starting on a daily basis?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:49
Always start your studs
but matchups should play a big role in the bottom rung of your starter.
use splits heavily for questionable guys
Yea or Nay
1:51
Drop Jakub Marsee or Brenton Doyle for Owen Cassie?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:51
maybe doyle, but definitely not Marsee

H2H 10 player AL/NL: Trade offers Masataka Yoshida for Trey Yesavage IL or for Shane Baz.  Seems like overpay for Yoshida, unless I am missing something, or Yesavage is more hurt than it seems; correct?  Which deal would you choose?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:52
wa-aay too much for Yoshida
Chris H
1:52
Sorry... AL league only
Nicklaus Gaut
1:53
still way too much
Sir Breslow
1:53
Andrew Painter or Connelly Early for this year and long term.
thanks for the chat.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:54
Early for both
And you're welcome!

Will Joe Wiemer win MVP?...... Now for a little more serious question. Need to drop (1) Story or Abrams. Thanks NG
Nicklaus Gaut
1:55
Story, unless you're overloaded on speed

Since the White Sox are serious about making Grant Taylor a MIRP and not a closer, is now time to cut bait and find someone else for saves/holds?  He's not going to get a lot of high leverage innings as an opener.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:56
yep, high-leverage not looking good, at all
Marcmo

Is Liam Hicks for real or a hot week mirage?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:58
how about for real-ish?
1:59
the power has always been lacking but even in the early goings, it can't be denied that he's hitting the ball way harder.

In the AL, there are a lot of closers on shaky ground.  Look into your crystal ball and tell me which current set-up guys are most likely to be closing on May 1.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:00
Jordan Leasure is the leader in the clubhouse.
I know a White Sox was not at the forefront of your hopes
Ron

Song for the padres. When does he come back from injury. What ripple effect will it cause to croenenworth and company?  Will he play outfield also?  Or is he just a reserve player?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:02
he's bound to siphon away some ABs but I think he's ultimately just a fill-in bench guy
Tarp time

In an AL 10 team 5x5 league, whats ur strategy re steals? Are you aiming for a 1-2 big wheels (simpson at $30+) or assorted guys who can get 10 or more?  India’s inexplicable zero last year cost me 2nd place…
Nicklaus Gaut
2:03
In a 10-team, I'd like one strong play and then try to get a lot of medium contributors.
Payton's Place
2:05
Tough break for Oviedo which Sox seem to think is serious. Pre-emptive add on Payton Tolle?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:05
decent spec, but i'm not sure they'll go to him first
Guest

I'm trying to work a trade in my league where I get Bazzana.  He is asking for Christopher Sanchez but I'm offering Bibee and Kwan.  Fair?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:06
fair on paper but I see why he wouldn't be interested

Many on my team are hungover from the WBC "Extravaganza" while some are more interested in looking good in their "color schemed" uni's. I think there are rules cc: uniforms. OK enough yelling @clouds! .....How good is this Konnor kid. Let the Kids play. "preciate you Nick.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:08
prospects are always bound to prospect, but Griffin is really, really exciting
2:09
maybe he can loan Oneil some of his extra tools
Vet or Ez'
2:09
Xander Bogaerts or Ezequiel Tovar in a vaccuum MLB league
Nicklaus Gaut
2:09
Tovar
Joe from Milwaukee

Too early to panicking about Brent Rooker?
Nicklaus Gaut

Nah
