hello, friends
Let's baseball!

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

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

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

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

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

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
Id
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

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!
No!
