hello, friends

Let's baseball!

Guarded Indian

1:01

I made an offer of Rooker and Lugo for Bazzana. Fair or foul? I figure Bazzana has potential but is unproven so far but I'm going on faith in the future.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:02

if this is redraft, I'd much rather have Rooker

If it's a dynasty, I think it's a fair on paper, but probably not getting accepted

Sudden Surplus

1:03

I need to CUT one of these bench bats in my AL Only, daily, OBP league, even though I love them all like my own children: Schneeman, Hays, Taveras.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:03

Taveras

Like Hays the most, by a lot tho

Platoon Times

1:03

AL Only, OBP league: Evan Carter or Lawrence Butler, ROS?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:03

Butler

Paying the Tolle

1:03

Tolle or Gavin Williams, ROS?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:03

Williams

Paying the Tolle

1:03

And, related, should I be trying to sell an $18 Tolle in AL only?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:04

I would. Tolle is the much better pitcher, but I'd be worried that he's already pitched 25 IP after a total of 105 IP last year.

1:05

reins are getting pulled somewhere

NorthBayJay

1:05

Is the Nationals Jake Irvin worth any kind of investment?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:05

yeah, for sure. But more of a streamer that you keep rostered but use selectively

I think this pitch mix change is pretty interesting

1:06

curve dropped from 30% to 20%, but has doubled in whiff%

interesting enough to keep around to see what's up

Sir Breslow

1:06

I have read several articles about Franklin Arias. Considering his great start and the Red Sox anemic offense, what are the chances that he gets a call up soon? Not to mention Trevor Story’s horrible start and complete lack of range at this point.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:07

I would say pretty unlikely. Definitely a breakout for him so far, but he's still only 20.

Buff

1:08

11 team NL only roto keeper. I’ll need to waive one or two of the following pitchers in the next couple of weeks: Brandon Pfaadt, Tyler Kinley, Bradgley Rodriguez, Caleb Killian, Antonio Senzatela. Who to waive, who to definitely keep?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:08

1:09

I'd be wanting to keep Kilian and Pfaadt.

Jamie Arnold Eta?

1:10

When do you think Jamie Arnold could be called up? There’s a lot of stashing chatter going on lately.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:11

I can't see anything earlier than, August, and even that would require injuries/continued dominance

Preaching caution with A's is generally a good idea

*practicing

Trevor Rogers?

1:13

I know Trevor is recovering from the flu, but he has been lousy over his last 3 starts. Rough patch or signs for crashing to earth?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:13

I think we have to give him a little more flu-grace

Is Latz the guy?

1:13

Hi Nicklaus. Hope all is well. Is Jacob Latz the Rangers closer now? He seems to be the hot hand.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:13

Definitely!

Maybe!

1:14

Given recent history, I think we're still a long way from the Rangers having a locked-in closer

Joe from Milwaukee

1:16

H2h points league. I currently have Jordan walker, Brent Rooker, Chandler Simpson, and Bryon Buxton in my outfield with Jackson Chourio and Wyatt Langford in the IL. Who do I keep when everyone is healthy? Flex spots are taken by Cal Raleigh and Kevin Mcgonigle so I can't really use that.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:16

I'd be dropping Buxton and Langford

catching

1:17

Will Eduardo Quero and Bo Naylor ever hit above the Mendoza Line? Does Bo have any of his borther's hitting talents?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:17

No!
