They should have every option on the table
Unfortunately, every choice they make will immediately become the wrong choice, once they make it due to Mets stink

Matthew Boyd could be back for a two-step vs PHI and @ LAD. The safe play is to keep him on the bench next week, right?
Nicklaus Gaut

100%
Max Clark
1:19
In my 14 team dynasty (OBP) I was offered Wilyer Abreu and Ryne Nelson for Max Clark. What do you think?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:20
keeping Clark
Especially in OBP dynasty
Juan Brito
1:20
Is Brito worth picking up?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:21
I'm there are leagues where he'd be useful
but you'd need to dive deep

In a 5x5 league with Sav/Hold I usually go 6 SP and 3 RP in our weekly NL league. Would I be better off going with a fourth RP or a SP that is probably a number 4 or 5 on a team?  Wins are a crapshoot and it seems holds are easier to get and more frequent. I suspect I lose something in Ks, but ERA/WHIP might be better too.  I know it depends on the pitchers involved, but theorectically which might be more advantageous?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:21
I err on the side of more RPs
1:22
Like you said, wins are a crapshoot
I find ratios to be far more reliable

Thanks for the chat! 10 team AL only standard 5x5 roto. Would you please rank the following for the rest of the season: Butler, A Martinez, Valera, Beavens. Interested in you thoughts and are
Nicklaus Gaut
1:23
You're welcome!
1:24
Butler in first...by a lot
Then: Beavers > Valera > Martinez
Oswal-d'oh!
1:25
Of course I cut Oswald Peraza right before he goes off vs his old team. Picked up Rhys Hoskins in his stead, but guy isn’t playing. Do I need to spend to get Peraza back? Pereira, Palacios, Brito, Taylor Walls, Javy Baez are the sorts of people available. (Al only, obp, in case you couldn't tell.)
Nicklaus Gaut
1:25
ugg, gross
gotta hate that
I would rather have Oswald back than the other options

Arrighetti struck out a lot Rockies yesterday. Him or the very mid Cecconi?

Just lost Horton and Pivetta (pitchers, man, geesh).  Best available are: Weathers, Ashcraft, Messick, Mize, Merril Kelly, Imai, Harrison, Singer, Keller, Hancock.  What are my best replacements?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:27
Weathers, Singer, Kelly, Messick

ROS: drop Crawford for Marsee? 10 team 5x5 H2H with OBP. I'm hurting in steals with Acuna and Carroll not running so far. I hoped Crawford would run early and often, but he's only attempted 2 steals

3B Conundrums
1:29
I have 4 players eligible at 3B. How would you rank them right now, ROS, and beyond in 10 team H2H 5x5 with OBP and no CI spot: Maikel Garcia, Isaac Paredes, McGonigle, Antonacci. I currently have Marte at 2B and McGonigle at 3B, with Wilson at SS. But I can move Marte to DH for Antonacci at 2B or bench Wilson to move McGonigle to SS
Nicklaus Gaut
1:30
Garcia > McGonigle > Antonacci > Paredes
Langford or Swanson?
1:31
Langford or Swanson? Both are on waivers in an OBP categories league. Swanson is hot, Langford is not, but the upside... Trying to upgrade my Util spot, so position eligibility doesn’t really matter. So, I guess the question really is, would you go with upside or the hot hand? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:31
I think I'm holding with Langford
The gap in value (when he's somewhat right) is too big in OBP

Are teams being more guarded with eta for players coming back from injury?  Musgrove Aiden miller song rincones steele edman don’t have as regular updates as I would like. Is there a site that does update these as their thing that I’m unaware of. For instance roster resource will say when they went on the injured list but prognosis are very vague. Is this a niche that others would want to see this void filled?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:32
Roster resource is a great place to start but I find local sports guys  the best are usually the best with timelines
The Brice is Right
1:34
I have a $1 Brice Matthews in my al only obp keeper league. Only a 3 man bench, though. Time to cut bait? The zips forecasts remain enticing but the Astros are treating him like their players' injury details: fully hidden.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:34
3-man bench makes him hard to hold

I need NL Saves.  StL's closer is now pretty settled with Riley O'Brien, but other NL unsettled closer situations are out there.  Is Ryan Walker still the stopper in SF?  What about WAS & COL?  Thanks for your insight!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:36
Walker's hold is tenuous
