if my expectations are a fake movie from an episode of Seinfeld

Prognosis: Negative!
Prospect promotion prognostication
1:33
Deep League AL-only.  When do you think Colt Emerson and Max Clark get promoted this season?  Between the two, whom do you think produces more worth this season?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:34
Clark is tracking more like a mid-summer guy,while Colt is probably late-summer/Sept, given Seattle's conservative approach
1:35
so gimme Clark for 2026 production
Recent trade
1:35
Recently traded Drake Baldwin for Nolan McLean in my redraft h2h 5x5 with obp and qs. Was in need of a top tier arm, but seeing Baldwin continue to mash makes me question. Who should we place more value in? Top tier catchers who play everyday, or top tier starters more?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:35
top-tier starters
unless its 2-catcher

No news bad news with Max Fried?

Is Ewing a long term piece in 12-16 team leagues or more short term value?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:36
short-term for now
1:37
gonna have to get on base a LOT to make up for the power

B Garrett? What are ROS expectations? Drop Singer for him? Drop Singer for anyone?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:38
Ask again after he's gotten out of the second inning
Go Dills!
1:39
What do you think about Ben Brown?  Counsell has cost me / Brown two wins now by pulling him so #$%^& early!  I she going to keep doing that?
cool 1
Nicklaus Gaut
1:39
surely it won't happen a third time?
but, to be fair, I overheard Counsell the other day talking about "screw that Go Dills! guy".
1:40
I'm telling y'all -- managers do not like us
Ao

Is Mlodzinski worth holding in nl only dynasty?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:41
In NL-only? sure
Go Dills!
1:42
Somehow I manager to land three catchers - Moreno, Pages and Mack.  I can only keep two, though... which one should I let go?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:42
Mack
Dancin Homer
1:43
Cut Adolis or Frelick (or both!) to pick up Carrigg?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:43
I like picking up Carrigg but those are aggressive drops
Go Dills!
1:44
Yeah that doesn't surprise me.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:44
damn managers
as always
1:45
I blame Kevin Cash
RAGBRAI
1:46
How concerned should I be about Woodruff? Upon his return is he just an injury waiting to happen?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:46
It will take a few starts before I actually trust his arm isn't going to just fall off during a game
Josh
1:47
Henry Bolte or Ryan Waldshmidt for a keeper H2H categories league?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:47
Waldschmidt
RAGBRAI
1:47
Does Mlodzinski get to start again or will he piggyback most of his appearances?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:48
I think the piggyback will remain an occasional option, but don't think it'll be the primary
Clarence Odbody

Thanks as always, Nick.  Can you recommend any pitchers (in the majors or minors) who have the stuff to be future closers in 2027 but aren’t in that job today?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:49
Luis Mey?

I have Jung and Donovan at 3B in a Dynasty League. I also have Royce Lewis, but need to drop one. I know Lewis has the upside (at least he used to), but he is so frustrating. Would you drop him?
