Hello, friends
With haste!
Too Many Closers
1:01
After not investing heavily in closers in the draft, expecting that I could just figure it out once the season started, I now have Pagan, Fairbanks, Romano, and Erceg. I don't like to have more than 3 in this league; who would you feel most comfortable dropping?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:02
Not a bad start for ignoring closers!
Erceg
Thoughts on Carson Benge?
1:02
I know it’s early, but how long a leash do you think the Mets will give him? He’s just on my bench for now but if you think his days could be numbered…
Nicklaus Gaut
1:03
nah, he'll stay up unless he completely craters. Surely they didn't let him break camp only to yank him early
Counterpoint: It's the Mets

H2H categories league, 6x6 (including L's for pitchers) - how would you rank Mike Burrows, Randy Vasquez, and Ryan Walker? Three guys I've picked up so far in the early going, but expecting a roster crunch soon with some IL guys getting healthy
Nicklaus Gaut
1:04
Walker >>>> Burrows >>> Vasquez
Guarded Indian
1:06
Thinking of offering Kwan and Bibee for Bazanna in a trade?  Fair or foul?  I'm really high on Bazanna.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:06
Fair if you're a big Bazanna guy - classic mid talent package for future star potential
Shane Bieber News?
1:07
Is there any news on when Shane Bieber could throw to live hitters and then if he does well, start a rehab assignment?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:07
throwing another bullpen on Saturday
if it goes good, live hitters are next
1:08
all indications say he's ahead of schedule, but I still think anything earlier than mid-May is optimistic
1:09
no calls in the middle of my chat quite like my wife lol

Own Josh Naylor and Sal Stewart in points (Schwarber DH). How are you valuing Stewart right now in terms of range of player coming back in a trade?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:10
I like Stewart in points, but he's unlikely to fetch much in a trade until he's really gone bananas.
Elbow
1:11
Who is the one guy that is a borderline drop right now, that everyone is going to be kicking themselves at year's end that they had him on their roster but dropped him too early?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:11
The Turkletons
I mean Torkelson
1:12
Still think he'll hit 30
also, I'm a sycophant tho
Caught Up
1:12
Lost Kirk in AL Only OBP 2C league (other C is O’Hoppe). Should I try and trade either Schanuel or Okamoto for Carter Jensen or Austin Wells, or just roll with Heineman or Jake Rogers or Mitch Garver for the 2 months? (At that point I’d have 3 catchers, though O’Hoppe might be fungible.)
Nicklaus Gaut
1:13
I would rather roll with the pu-pu platter until Kirk gets back
Reynold
1:14
I have much respect for Ron Shandler, remembering the 1990's - been playing fantasy baseball since '89 and fell in love the the Forecaster. I've tried, but have found little utility in BABS. Am I missing something; I am elderly so that is likely, as my wife tells me often.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:15
Yeah, I'm with you -- interesting, yes, but didn't really provide utility
for me, that is
Clearly, many, many people find it useful, and Schandler is obviously a goat
Sevvy-erance
1:16
Would it be crazy to start Severino in SacTown this week, even though the opponents (TEX, CWS) are ok?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:16
I don't think it's outrageus,
1:17
TEX might be dicey but the week's total should be fine
Brady
1:17
I traded Munetaka Murakami for Jackson Merrill in a points league. Would you have made this trade?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:18
100% for the Merrill side
and double that if the league has a strikeout penalty
math!
M I crazy?
1:19
I asked you a version of this last week, and you said no. Sadly it's only gotten worse but I still need a middle Infielder (al obp league). So, do you like any of these guys? : Brito Brice Matthews, Richie Palacios, Oswaldo Peraza, Taylor Walls, Javy Baez, Ez Duran, Schneeman, Blaze Alexander...?
