Are you OK Freddie?

Freddy Peralta does not currently look like a #1 starter. Do you recommend holding onto him, or trying to get a trade while his name still has some cachet? If the latter what type of pitcher or player would be a fair ask?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:12
yeah, hard to be a #1 with a 22% k%
1:13
worth trading but i suspect the market will be lukewarm, at best

What kind of results do you expect from Gingergaard ROS? Rank Bradish..Gore..Lodo..Eovo.. ROS.  Most important Happy Father's Day to you N.G. and to all dads in "MLB Nation"
Nicklaus Gaut
1:15
i'd rank them eovaldi > Bradish > Gingy > Gore > Lodolo

Is Dustin May just going through some good times or is he going to actually be this good for the rest of the year?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:16
He's not suddenly a cy young guy but I think he's a fairly solid option ROS
to be fair
I'm an STL homer
and am still a sucker for May since holding him in his prospect days
1:17
hard to trust the hair tho
ehh, that's okay,
we'll just pretend it's cardinal red

Which Rockies are worth adding for the long term (in terms of just this year) in a non dynasty league in a vacuum with positional flexibility a non issue? Which of Johnston, Carigg, or Rumfield are best for the rest of this year and which is the best for the short term (~next month or so)
Nicklaus Gaut
1:18
Rumfield for both

How long are you holding onto Braden Montogomery for with better options available?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:19
short leash if better options

Need my weekly AL Only OBP bench bat decision! It’sdregs only, but do can you pick a couple from Jeff McNeil, Wenceel, Christian Moore, Yoshida, Siri, Jacob Gonzalez or Rave?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:22
Weceel by a decent margin

I was forced to drop Gabriel Moreno with Baldwin coming of the IL and no available roster spots. Is it worth adding him back, my team has very good positional flexibility and he'd go in one of my two util spots (I also have two bench spots for offense and pitching). HIs offence really held up my team while Baldwin (and also Judge who is still out) was injured and it hurt to let him go
Nicklaus Gaut
1:24
i think using him in the UT isn't worth it
Bryan

Who do you like ROS, Woo, Webb, Ryan?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:24
Woo, by a chunk
Trade

I really want Brice Turang and have an abundance of pitchers. Is Skubal, Zach Wheeler or Chase Burns too much?  I also have Ashcraft, Meyer, Palente
Nicklaus Gaut
1:25
skubes is too much
1:26
wheeler would be paying a premium but not awfully
but I'd at least try for Burns first
Some fan

Hi Nicklaus,12 team mixed HxH: is it time to drop Nimmo for one of Benge, Lee, Bolte or Clemons?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:26
I'd keep NImmo over those

Ian Happ. I knew when I drafter him he was an "all or nothing" type hitter. I haven't seen much of a return. How much value do you think he offers putting him on my roster daily?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:28
He's still been a top-50 hitter in 12-team leagues, so wouldn't hate him too much
Some fan

Who do you foresee performing better at catcher position the ROS: A. Kirk or K. Teel?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:28
Kirk
Put your Leiters up? Down?
1:29
Jack Leiter is burning my team to the ground. I have him on a cheap deal in AL only. Time to move on or do I keep holding until nothing is left but ashes?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:29
can't keep starting him while he's serving up homers to everyone
five in his last 14 IP
