Jeffers > Kirk > rushing
If you don’t like the weather, wait til tonight

I can’t believe it’s come to this, but I’m sitting Ryan Weathers, one of my favorite pitchers, against the Nats. Too risk-averse or just risk-averse enough?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:15
too risk-averse
I know he's had a couple of stinkers but I'm definitely rolling him against WSN

Thanks for the chat, Nicklaus.  I know you're a Salvy Perez fan, but please rank for fantasy purposes: Perez, Alejandro Kirk and Kyle Teel.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:17
The comeback has begun friends
gimme Salvy > Teel > Kirk
just can't quit him

Corbin Carroll has been very quiet the last 30 days. In second place and need to upgrade pitching. Thoughts on who I should reasonably expect to receive back for Carroll.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:19
still aiming for a top-tier SP
you're not going to get one of the top-five guys
1:20
but Cease, Wheeler, etc
are reasonable

Any hope for Austin Riley turning it around?  He's been on a downward trajectory for a while.  Would Nolan Arenado be any improvement.  I have Casey Schmitt, so he's been my 3B, but Riley is just burning a roster spot right now.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:21
We discussed him long-term issues a few times, but damn, it just won't stop getting worse
1:22
He might need a stint in Korea
would still (sigh) pick him over Arenado
Angels fan forever
1:23
Got one more for you please, ROS Jax, Imai, B. Chandler, C. Scott, and who do you think will be the next top pitching prospect promoted to the majors and will they make an impact? Thank you!!!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:23
Jax > Scott > Imai > Chandler

Last week you ranked Perkins ahead of Ginn and Jump in the SacTown rotation. He’s been shaky since, but I’m still interested. Are you holding?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:26
still holding but he's largely matchup-dependant
Yee haw
1:27
Is Gore a good pitcher who gives up too many dingers, or just not that good?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:28
I used to think the former, but he loves making me question things

Nats make a statement with a series win over the Yankees this weekend.  You heard it here first.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:28
EVERYONE!!!
1:29

It's officially on the record, Employee #11
that's how that works, right?

AL-only, QS + 0.5 W league: Z Matthews or Kremer for ROS?

I’ve been killed this week by 2 clunkers from Sanchez and Webb.  I’ve got 3 starts left, 2 of which are going to Sanchez (again) and McLean. Who gets the 3rd: Jax, Lambert or Burke?  Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:31
Jax, by a lot

No question that Judge is irreplaceable as a star.  But they completely fall apart when he gets injured.  Isn't about time that somebody gets held responsible either the roster construction or team management that allows this year after year?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:33
If accountability doesn't come after this disaster, I'm not sure when it would
like you said, yeah, Judge is irreplaceable
1:34
but no matter how good a player is, if your success completely depends on them, you're doing a bad job

I have Early, Ranger Suarez & Clay Holmes on the DL.  Do you think they will all contribute in the second half?  How quickly can I count on each?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:35
Contribute? Yes. But all three will be coming back with large question marks or one sort, or another
