I have very low expectations until he (at least) resumes baseball activities/gets a timeline
Peter

Does Bichette have any trade value
Nicklaus Gaut
2:07
not until he remembers how to hit
worst fantasy position ever
2:08
absolutely terrible, but still too good to cut
Is there hope?
2:09
Chad Durbin. I just picked him up off the waiver wire. Did I do something very, very wrong?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:09
in general?
no
for fantasy?
probably
EnGaged in Work, Man

Fictional character Gage Workman is just a strong side platoon and may be displaced soon by Gleybar. But would you add him for Schneeman anyway in AL only?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:09
nah
2:10
seriously they're just running out of names for NPCs
Looks like he could Gore
2:10
Is MacKenzie Gore worth a roster spot?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:10
yah

Why do so many of the players on my fantasy team hate me this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:10
I'm not sure, but I know it's personal
I would reexamine your life and try to figure of how exactly you pissed them off
2:11
for example, I once honked at kevin cash after he cut me off in traffic
biggest mistake I ever made
Etc
2:12
10 team mixed league, OBP… Should I pick up Austin Martin or Gage Workman for a MI sub for a slumping Corey Seager (whom I’d bench until he snaps out of this funk)? Also: Matt Chapman: droppable?  Thx.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:12
no, don't do that
feel free to launch chapman into the sea
he's hurt us for too long
Will in Westport

Good afternoon Nicklaus.  Well, I am truly bummed that my Tigers were swept by the Mets (and you believe it? The lowly Mets??), so I'll pivot. Is Imai toast?  Right now, I have him on my IL (as he was activated on Tuesday) in my AL-only, 5x5, keepers Roto league.  But, now that he is active, and Baz and Jax (those are Scrabble-points names) are on my reserves, I have to release one of the three.  Imai seems to be the least good of the trio … your thoughts?  BTW, thanks as always for doing these chats.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:13
You're welcome!
And yeah, I agree with you - it'd be Imai for me

Drop Singer pick up Rea?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:13
rather have singer
Rookie Craze

AJ Ewing or Henry Bolte?  Who will be more productive in fantasy this year?  Will both be solid?  I wanted Ewing but someone bid $15 for him (out of $150 for the year).  I got Bolte as a backup for $0.  Will we both get our money's worth?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:14
Like both but moneywise, you'll get more value

Is Kirk still a back up fantasy catcher on his return with Valenzuela in the picture?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:15
Yeah, he'll still be fine
Your take
2:15
what's your take on Ryan Johnson and Tatsuya Imai? I need to activate both—or lose them. Should I dump Connor Prielipp for either?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:15
I'd keep Prielipp
Vaughn Grissom
2:16
He's taking lots of walks, and it seems like it makes more sense (to me) for him to hit before Trout than after in an RBI slot.Could he start hitting lead-off on the regular?  Do you see a path to 450 AB this season for him?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:17
definitely see a path to 450 but don't think leadoff will be anything but an occasional thing
alright, y'all
Thanks for all of the great questions
And we'll see you back next week
