gimme Tawa
well, with caveats
1:17
it can also depend on your end-of-season-needs
Beavers probably has more upside, but with fewer PAs
Tawa's got the floor, though, by a comfortable margin imo

Worth adding Spencer Jones? Could drop lombard durbin bell or grisham- is playing time a concern?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:19
I would definitely add Jones
1:20
I think Durbin is my first cut
Jones playing time not being affected by Belly's return gives me confidence

Nick any chance that Noelvi Marte will get another call uo?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:21
Oh man, I guess there's chance...
1:22
but it would probably take a combination of an MLB injury and him learning to hit (again)

Will the Mariners fire Dan Wilson?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:22
lol I do not like his chances
1:23
they need to keep winning for him just to not get fired in-season
which I don't the Mariners neccessarily want to do
but unless they go on some epic run that ends with them in the playoffs
I think he's gone

Are you a believer in Cam Smith long-term as at least a better than average hitting right fielder?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:24
at that bar, for sure
1:25
he's shown enough this year, and has age on his side, development-wise
I really don't think he's a long-term .210 hitter

scoresheet keeper league- my current 4 man playoff rotation is set as Alcantara, E Perez, R Suarez and C Holmes. I’ve left out C Burns (recently acquired for prospects E Tait, T White, J Susana and L Lara) and Ashcraft because I’m worried their innings with be limited soon, which will negatively effect my playoff performance if I put them in the rotation. I also have M Gore but I’ve left him out of rotation due to bad performances. Would you tell me your thoughts on the likelyhood of innings being limited, and tell me what you think of the Burns trade? I should be keeping Burns for years to come. Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:27
I agree with your assessments
though I wouldn't totally write off Gore, given he (finally) had a decent month
just ignore that last one lol
I love the Burns trade
1:28
certainly aggressive, even as a consolidation trade
But Burns should be a scoresheet monster in the long term

NL-only, 5x5 Roto, keeper league, $260 auction budget, weekly trans, no streaming, over 20% inflation. Keep Logan Henderson @ $19?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:29
In NL-only? Yep, I would

Thanks for the chat. .258/.301/.546 since the break but also 33k in 103 PA. Breaking out or check back next year?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:30
I really want to believe it's a proper breakout
1:31
but it can't be with a 32% K%
pop is definitely legit
but I still question approach

Sean Burke was so wild in his last outing that even I drew 2 walks.  There was a long while when he was pitching just about as well as anyone, but 4 of his last 5 starts have been stinkers.  Can he be trusted at all going forward (next start at HOU, in particular)?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:32
That makes sense
I was wondering how I kept calculating his WHIP wrong
1:33
I'm sitting him against Houston
