Assume that you are Scott Harris for this discussion.  What players would you be seeking from the Dodgers for Skubal?  The Rays?  Milwaukee?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:57
I'd love to project all of them...but let's be honest
it's gonna be LAD
1:58
de paulo would have to be one
1:59
plus MLB (or close to) ready guys
If they trade him for all prospects, the Tiger fans might riot
2:00
I think the Rays should try to overwhelm them though
just don't think they'll be able to bring themselves to do it
2:05
great article about this over at FG yesterday
yes, that was me total crashing again
death to ATT&T
Roman Candle in the Wind

Roman Anthony hitting off a tee.  Do we think he's coaching kids t-ball or is he taking up golf?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:06
I'm only sure that that playing MLB is third

In a NL 5x5 with SOLDS I need to cut one of Ashby, Weaver, Vesia or Mlod. Is Mlod right? When Adam in SD returns then who do I cut?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:07
yeah mlod
then Ashby

of course it's during literally the only week where neither kid has a camp/sport of some sort going one

Are  you expecting the Rockies to promote Zac Veen post trade deadline?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:08
Definitely

Could Adrian Morejon be the Cubs answer to solidify the back end of their bullpen, as their closer?  Or is Morejon more valued as a premier set up guy?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:10
I love me some Morejon (see what I wrote about him in last year's BP annual...he said, shamelessly shilling) but I think he most valued as a premier setup moreso than closing

Have the Royals given any indication when they expect to activate Witt?  And, the Mariners activating Donovan?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:11
I'm guessing mid-week
next week that is
2:12
donovan will prolly be this weekend
Two Strikes and No Balls
2:12
Corey Seager or Cooper Pratt.  Who's the better SS for rest of the season in fantasy?  I just added both.  Same question my other MI are Altuve & Luke Keashall.  If I need to drop one of the 4 who goes?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:13
Seager
I'd drop keashall of the four
Wayne
2:14
I picked up George Lombard and stashed him on my bench about a month ago. Does he get called up? Am I wrong to consider him keeper material in a 5x5 AL only roto league? Thanks.
Nicklaus Gaut
2:15
I'm not sure he'll get called up this year (for meaningful PAs anyway), but you're not wrong to  lump him as a keeper in AL only
depends on your keeper system
Bad Hombres
2:16
Here is my situation.  I was bit by the injury bug pretty bad lately.  Had pitchers Suarez, Harrison, Holmes & Early on my DL for a while.  Suarez is back the other three are on the mend (Yamomoto, McLean, Roupp, Weathers & Jared Jones are the other pitchers).  I was offered and accepted a DL trade Harrison for O'Neil Cruz.  Was it a good move or bad?  My outfield is Walker, Duran, Nimmo, Delaughter, Canzone and B. Montgomery.  Is Cruz a big upgrade over those guys?
Nicklaus Gaut
2:16
I'm a know Cruz-hater but that's a good trade for you

Do you see any chance that the Guards add a bat that's even somewhat impactful? Or are we going to slide further into the abyss of negative run differential?
