Tommy Troy soon to be sent down due to OF overcrowding?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:30
I think he stays up
Beano

I asked about Tommy Troy but would you rather a $2 Matt Shaw or a $10 Troy?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:31
shaw
Guarded Indian

I offered Rooker (when he was not on the IL) straight up for Bazanna and got ghosted.  Not enough or fair?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:32
not enough
Strider
1:33
In my scoresheet keeper league, I recently traded cardinals OF prospect Baez and a couple of future draft picks for Strider, who made one start for my team and is now out till Aug 25. Is he toast? He hasn’t been the same since his internal brace procedure.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:33
I would expect very little ROS
1:34
and my future expectations are incredibly low
I'm starting to think maybe this extreme velo generation might have some consequences
Matt Shaw
1:35
Seems like he's coming around lately -- worth a flier in a deep league?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:35
yeah definitely worth a flyer
RAGBRAI

Woodruff back next week? Effective if healthy?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:35
yes
in theory
but I remain worried
and probably will without a large healthy sample

I have Shane Beiber on my reserves with a fairly strong pitching staff in a AL only league. I might be forced to choose between Bieber and Bradish. Is there any reason to believe in Bradish. He’s disappointed.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:37
they are close enough for me that it'd be personal preference call
I'd take Bieber

My league has a 75 maximum add limit for the season; including playoffs. I'm currently at 30 through the end of Week 13. Is it smart to try to limit adds/streams to 2 per week for the next 2-3 months or so prior to our 3 week playoffs at the end of the year
Nicklaus Gaut
1:38
I would certainly start tightening the reins.
I want to have plenty of powder for the end run
There are generally just more opportunities for juicy streams late in the season
Machado
1:39
This is really ugly. How much longer should the rope be before seriously considering cutting him? ASB?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:40
still not cuttting even with the ugliness
but damn, even his xBA is only .228
1:41
I went to his statcast page like, oh he definitely still has like a .250 xBA, right?
Big Hurt
1:46
Have a rotation of Miz, Yamamoto,  Sale, Jared Jones, Emerson Hancock,  Freddy Peralta.  With Woodruff coming back do I drop any of the last 3
Nicklaus Gaut
1:47
ugg, really depends on how confident you are about his health
a healthy woodruff is better than jones and hancock,
Hancock is the most expendable for me
Chopping block
1:55
I have Anel and Bubic copming of the IL sooner than later. Which two pitchers do I drop for them: Prielipp, Jake Bennett, Ian Seymour, Joey Cantillo?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:55
Jake
1:56
alright, y'all -- out of questions, so we're going to cut it a few early
