Andrew Alvarez anything to be interested in for a #5Sp in an NL 5x5? He might be the pick of the litter of what is available.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:52

yeah, worth a flyer in NL-only

where I imagine your other options are less than ideal lol

Nicklaus Gaut

Nicklaus, in a AL-only, 5x5 keeper league, my pitching staff consists of: S. Baz, G. Cole, J. Ferrer, P. Lambert, J. Latz, B. Miller, D. Rasmussen, C. Smith, J. Springs, with G. Jax in reserve, and D. Kremer on the IL. When Kremer returns this month, which (if any) of my staff would you recommend swapping? AND … do you think that Sandy Alcantara has a reasonable chance of being traded to the AL before the deadline? OH YEAH, and I am in first place (finally)!!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:55

I'd drop ferrer for Kremer

1:56

reasonable? the marlins?

generally don't go together, so I'll say no

and congrats! Keep crushing

A plate Appearance is a plate Appearance unless there is catcher's Interference. From a baseball stat point of view, Catcher's Interference is a non-event as if it never happened aside from the error charged to the catcher. How can this be?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:57

because 17.5% of baseball rules are designed to infuriate us?

and those are only the written ones

I have Hunter Brown, Alejandro Kirk, and Kyle Teel all due to come off the IL soon. Dumping Salvador Perez and Carson Kelly seem like the thing to do with Kirk and Teel almost ready? Brown replaces Jason Adam who puts up good numbers but few if any saves.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:58

no probs cutting kelly

but I wouldn't cut perez for kirk

Dregs

D'backs about to activate Jordan Lawlar. I plan to keep a close eye on him, with the thought of replacing Austin Riley with him. I also have Casey Schmitt, who is eligible at 3B. Should I just roll with Schmitt and dump Riley when the time comes (IL activation other than 3B)

Nicklaus Gaut

1:59

I'd keep rolling with Schmitt, if you can take the average hit

Drop Winn, Baty or Hamilton for Carrigg?

Nicklaus Gaut

baty

Buff

NL-only keeper, looking for relievers mostly to preserve ratios, add a few K’s; saves and keeper value would be a bonus. Candidates include Jonathan Bowlan, Jack Dreyer, Juan Morillo, Orlando Ribalta, Michael Petersen, Antonio Snenzatela, Tejay Antone. Top 2 or 3?

Nicklaus Gaut

2:02

Ribalta, Senzetela

Nicklaus Gaut

40%
