Hello, friends
1:01
We are now in our third day without internet
Our subdivision is getting very close to forming a militia
to storm AT&T
1:02
in other words
please excuse any technological hiccups, as I'm a laptop-hotspot guy currently
but let's baseball!

Rank Max Clark, Jarren Duran, and Kyle Stowers in  5 OF roto ROS? And just more broadly, do you think it's better move Clark or see what he has?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:03
Probably need to knock out Clark early lol
In general, I would preach caution
1:04
and the closer you are to having a shot this year, the more cautious you should be in relying on a hot call-up.
not that he won't be awesome, or, more likely, have hot stretches.
1:05
but the facts, as they stand now, are that he's not an everyday player (yet), and will start off in the bottom third of the order
that is starting your value behind the 8-ball, as far as fantasy goes
1:06
your annual reminder that baseball is really hard and it's rare that a mid-summer call-up hits the fantasy ground running
and keeps running to the end
Durran > Stowers > Clark
but I'm bullish on him overtaking Stowers
1:07
let's see what that lineup looks like tomorrow

Will need to drop one of S Horwitz, Ty France, A Vaughn, all at keeper value in a standard 5x5 Roto NL-only. No reserve, no streaming. Assuming none get traded out of the NL at the deadline, who is the most likely to move in the offseason? Keeping Horwitz is my preference, but IDK. For next year, please rank. Thank you Nick. Love the chats.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:09
as much as I have a soft spot for Horwitz, it'd probably be him for me
sweet jeebus did I just pick Andrew Vaughn over someone?
can't blame that on the internet
Trade question ?
1:09
I’m thinking of trading Trea Turner for Gavin Williams and a second round draft pick. Is that a fair offer to make? I am in a 12 team rotisserie scoring Keeper League where we have a minimum of 10 keepers per team.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:10
on paper, yeah, I think it's fair, but that also depends on how valuable 2nd round picks tend to be in your league
1:11
but overall, I think it's more of a philosophy of building question
in general, I favor long-term hitting assets over younger pitchers
1:12
and turner just keeps trucking
.243 AVG obviously sucks but so does a career-low .287 BABIP
Trade thoughts
1:13
Would my offering Andy Pages for Riley Greene and Eovaldi be fair?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:14
Not for me. I'm not sure the upgradde from Greene to Pages will be worth Eovaldi
Tanks a Lot
1:16
AL obp league, daily moves bench bat: Seigler or Tommy Tanks?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:16
Seigler
Tanks a Lot
1:16
Also, thanks for these chats!
Nicklaus Gaut

You're welcome!

If/when Weaver is traded, what is the chance he ends up closing somewhere?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:17
surely they trade him, right???
1:18
I'm a Weaver bull
I think he gets traded and gets some saves
Unfortunately, it might be to the Pirates, where he will get ~3 Saves
