Thank you for this, Nick. NL-only + Astros, 5x5 Roto, weekly transactions, no reserve spots except for IL. Mlod is headed to the bullpen; do I drop and try replacing him with Teng?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:16
Yes, for sure
nice swap in the +Astros league ; )
and you
1:17
and you're welcome!
Sandlin Army

Can you rank the new arrival arms Gage Jump, David Sandlin, Troy Melton?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:17
Sandlin > Jump > Melton
New arms vs old arms
1:18
Where do Melton and Jump slide into the SP mix relative to the likes of Noah Schultz, JT Ginn, Cantillo?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:18
Ginn and Cantillo out in front, Melton/Jump back with Schultz
Open and Shut

Is there anything to Bello now that he’s behind an opener? Which piggypacker do you prefer, Bello or Spencer Miles?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:19
don't really want to drop him if you have the room
1:20
"don't worry, he'll start again"...he said right before giving up 7 ER

Should I be starting Ryan Waldschmidt over Jackson Merrill?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:20
no
1:21
but it makes me sad this is a legitimate question?

I have Freddie & Christian Walker in a league without a utility spot, Freddie has been riding the bench because CW has been out of his mind. Which one would you bet on having more success the rest of this season?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:23
It's still Freddie
as a long-time Walker lover, though..
man, there's nothing like when he decided to go hot lava for a week
I've been drafting him in point leagues for years

NL only keeper, 11 team, 10 pitchers, ERA/WHIP/W/K/HLD+SV. Jones coming back and need to drop one of Zac Gallen ($17), Christian Scott ($2) or Martin Perez ($6). Who would you waive?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:24
hurts me to say it
1:25
but Martin
did you know I once wrote a Severence-themed Martin Perez hype piece at FanGraphs?
well, now you do
I'd really like that show to come back
right meow

Am I a fool for still holding onto Randy Vasquez as he starts to come back down to earth?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:26
no, not a fool
1:27
still worth seeing what's he's got, especially considering recent opponents

H2H Categories league, I've been cursed with a bad case of "second best in the league in a given week but playing the first best team in that given week" in several categories for a few weeks in a row. Any good rituals you can recommend for cleansing this curse?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:28
Offer your team cigar, rum
Jobu will come
Josh
1:29
Realistic expectations for Shane Bieber's return?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:29
Early on, I think the leash will be tight, usage-wise, which is what might kill his fantasy value the most
1:30
but in a month, might be in the SP3/4 range
RAGBRAI
1:31
I need a SP, my choices are Singer, Alvarez (WAS) or Rea. Thoughts?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:31
Singer by a chunk
Fine today Ildemaro
1:32
Has the legend Ildemaro vargas turned back into a pumpkin? Or would you hold
Nicklaus Gaut
1:32
how dare you insult rich-man's Astudillo?
