Hey everyone, I'm Nicklaus Gaut and I'll be filling in for Brad for the next few weeks.
We'll get started in just a few minutes.

Nick, 5x5 roto, my pitching decision this week is to start one of: Snell @ Cubs, B. Garrett @ ATL, Megill home vs. ATL, or sit them all and go with Finnegan for SV.  What do you think? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
12:02
I'm not the biggest Snell fan but I'd still roll with him against the Cubs, take the K's, and hope for a low-run outing.

Talk to me about Jordan Walker... Is he a hold (eventually will perform and live up to the hype a la Julio Rodriguez) or is it a year early to be rostering him (aka Spencer Torkelson last year)?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:04
Oh, he's a hold, baby! To be fair, I may just be a total homer.
But while Walker isn't quite the level of impact that we saw from J-Rod, I think he's shown us he's definitely ready.

What are your thoughts on Jose Miranda moving forward? It’s been a sluggish start.
Nicklaus Gaut
12:04
Sluggish is being generous lol. But his expected stats are fine and I think this is more of a slow April situation.

Should I be looking to sell high on Yandy?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:05
Never!
I've also been a total honk for a while and am a believer in the breakout.

bradish or mahle?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:05
Bradish
Suwinski or Outman
12:05
More sustainable start to the season?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:05
Easy Outman for me
Mike

Opinion on brett baty.  Does he seem worth keeping?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:06
Only if you can afford to swap him in and out because he's a strong side platoon right now.

Trade Jose Abreu for Alex Bohm? Good deal or nah? Abreu seems to be a singles hitter now with no power...Bohm is now eligible for 1B and of course 3B
Nicklaus Gaut
12:08
I think I'd rather have Bohm - was a believer in a power bounceback for Abreu but his EVs just keep going in the wrong direction.
Edog

What’s your take on Logan Allen?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:09
Love the talent in the short-term but question a consistent spot in the rotation once it gets healthy.
Kyle B
12:10
Hey Nick! I was offered Alex Verdugo for Jose Abreu and Eugenio Suarez. Should I accept the trade? I have Josh Bell and Paul Goldschmidt on my team already as 1B and I do need OF help
Nicklaus Gaut
12:11
If your desperate for OF, sure. But you'd be losing on the total value end unless Abreu is just totally washed.

Is Lance Lynn done? I'm not starting him tonight vs Toronto or on his next turn vs Tampa, should I start him again this season?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:12
He's not a drop yet but I'm definitely with you on sitting him for his next two turns and evaluating from there.
Dick
12:12
Nick - What do you think Brett Baty’s value will be in 2023?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:13
Limited as a platoon bat right now but has the talent to provide value even getting sat vs LHP.
Hank Hill
12:13
Josh Jung or Brett Baty this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:13
Jung - everyday bat gets the nod
12:15
Maybe not that crazy but I was big on Bell this year and do think he's starting finally warm up.
Guest
12:15
Hi, is Josh Bell going to keep hitting like he has the list 5 games or so?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:15
Slashing .378/.439/.730 over his last 10 games
Barbarino
12:16
What in the world is wrong with Michael Kopech?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:16
He's living proof of TINSTAAPP
Everything in his arsenal just get murdered now
The Biebs
12:17
Too early for concern, or should I be worried about Shane Bieber's walk rate?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:17
No.
I worry more about the declining velo and whiffs
Kyle B
12:17
Is Geraldo Perdomo a keeper?
