kind of depends on how Saves-desperate you are...
1:34
but I'd cut him for a better arm, as neccessary
might get a vulture save but dude is just not going to bring much more than heartache as long has he keeps walking everyone
Trade idea
1:35
Need saves. AL Only OBP league. Trade $7 Nolan Schanuel for Brian Baker or am I getting carried away?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:36
yeah, i'd do that

Which, in your opinion and experience, is the best metric to measure the effectiveness of a hitter in the FA pool? WOBA, ISO, or other? Something as basic as OPS?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:37
wOBA is the best overall imo
but i'd pair it with xwOBA
specifically, rolling xwoba windows
you can find leaderboards for them on savant

Pick 3 for ROS- Christian Scott, Dustin May, Mac Gore and Troy Melton. (6x6, need low WHIP & ERA but Quality Starts and Ks would be bonus juice!)
Nicklaus Gaut
1:38
Scott, Gore, May

Whatta' about Roman A.? More to the story re: Injury? Will he be relevant  this year or fade into obscurity ala T. Casas?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:39
.229 AVG and currently can't swing a bat
I'm not optimistic for any value, any time soon
Outfield Options
1:41
How good is Braden Montgomery?  I just added him in my 7 x 7 Roto league.  Who would you compare him to?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:41
crazy power but without a hit tool to make his long-term success a guarantee
1:42
might catch fire but I worry about some big whiff-driven dips
1:43
but, if you're desperate for power, he's certainly worth trying out
but I tend to keep expectations in check for profiles like his

Rainiel Rodriguez available in a 12 team dynasty league, is he a must add?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:44
depends on roster size/keeper numbers
1:45
but he's got a pretty saucy profile for fantasy catching
and by that, I mean he's got pop without being a total BA anchor

In my nerdy Runs Created per PA league, would you prefer Perez or Jensen for the rest of the season?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:46
Perez
NERDS! NERDS! NERDS!

Seager and Sal Perez - is either going to turn things around?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:46
I'll never stop betting on Salvy
probably
1:47
like Seager ros too
although, that sucker has burned me before
we might be entereing last-straw territory
so if anyone sees Corey Seager, let him know
Gwynning

Daniel Espino worth a flyer?  Wish he was still a SP!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:49
man, I used to think that guy was going to be something
1:50
great job by him getting up, but I wouldn't get too excited beyond the whiffs.
why are people ringing by bell
1:51
*my bell

Ah, Nicklaus, but do you bench Keith and replace him with Jung?  And, as always, thanks for doing these chats.
