I'll be honest with you, Steve -- I don't think you could do worse

Okay, fine...

*much* worse

Mitch

1:15

Kike or Zach gelof or Edman in a 16 team with 30 man rosters, obviously a deoth piece at best

Nicklaus Gaut

1:15

Edman

Steve E

1:15

But I coached Little League!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:15

Okay, you'd actually probably do better

Mitch

1:16

Oneil cruz is finally trending down and proving the doubters correct!!!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:16

Once a whiffer, always a whiffer

Larry

1:16

Wise idea to buy low on Edwin Diaz to stash for the strech run if you had xtra SP on your team?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:17

If you can afford the roster hit, sure

Bucs Backstops

1:18

Currently have Henry Davis as my second catcher in a traditional categories NL-only league, Joey Bart is essentially the best available FA, ROS who ya got?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:18

My condolences

gimme Bart

Buff

1:19

What happens to the Dodgers’ lineup when Mookie and Kike come back? What becomes of Rojas, Freeland, and Kim?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:20

Freeland has options, so he's probably bumped. Kim/rojas/Kike all splittling a utily rotation

GBS42

1:21

When is a reasonable time to punt on a season in a keeper league and reload for next year? I'm 7th of 8 in my NL-only league that pays top 4, about 20 points (out of 80 possible) behind 2nd place, 10 points behind 4th. Injuries and underperformance everywhere...

Nicklaus Gaut

1:21

It's not time to go full fire-sale, but you should be laying plans

1:22

honestly, the best reason to wait before moving pieces is it lets you better identify who is going to need what/whose desperation you can squeeze

RAGBRAI

1:22

Is Mack worth a pick up in a two catcher NL league. I would have to drop Del Castillo or Sanchez?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:23

I wouldn't unless desperate

Sandy

1:24

Will everyday abs, put Seab Murphy in back up fantasy catagory? Or should he remain in the FA pool

Nicklaus Gaut

1:24

still the wire, for me

Wayne

1:25

I’m in a 5x5 roto AL only league with 5 OF. The FA pool is pretty shallow. I’m considering Gelof, Vilade, or even Myles Straw. Who would you choose?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:25

Gimme Gelof

call-up

1:26

How would you rank the recent call-ups both for this year and thre future: Jake Bennett, Connor Prielipps, Elmer Rodriguez

Nicklaus Gaut

1:27

ROS: Prielipp > Bennett > Elmer

future, I'd probably flop Bennett and Elmer

Boogieman

1:27

What does SF have to do to correct their season?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:28

go back in time and don't build their team around 3-outcome guys?

Poser

1:29

Would a devers trade makes sense for the Giants given they have so many positions competitions going on?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:29

that would be really, really tough one to pull off

both on the Giants side, and trying to get someone who'd take on his contract

1:30

I mean, the optics would be legitimately hilarious tho

RAGBRAI

1:30

Woodruff looks like he will have a short stay on the IL? Is that a good thing? Do you see a continuous string of injuries or season ending injury in his 2026 future?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:31

I'm not trusting anything about him in 2026

just feels wonky

which, of course, means he'll be Cy young

Of-fill part ii

1:32

Could you rank these buy low targets in an al obp daily league? Butler, Grissom, Pasquatch?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:32

Pas > Butler >>>>>>>>>
