Hello, friends
11:01
Let's get started
Wiseoldfool
11:02
Keeper league. M.Shaw or drop for Baez. Either will be backup. Thanks NG
Nicklaus Gaut
11:02
Still Shaw for me
For sure in a keeper league
Mike
11:03
Categories league using OBP: Vlad or Pete Alonso rest of way?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:03
Ehh, it's close but give me Alonso
What Would Roman Anthony Do?
11:06
10 Team, 5x5. I just traded Rooker/Devers/Chapman (RP)  for Witt Jr/S. Lugo/Bregman. Did I do OK? I have Mookie at SS (but can move him to 2B where I currently have Caballero...)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:07
Assuming Bregman stays on track in his return (IE it's pre-ASB as opposed to late-June), I think you did great
11:08
You got the best player (by magnitudes), a servicable starter, and I don't think the Devers/Bregman gap will be totally atrocious ROS - again, assuming a reasonable return date
Bryan
11:09
Freddie Freeman hasn’t hit a home run since May 11th. Maybe that ankle is bothering him more than he is letting on. If I try to trade him, what should I realistically ask for in return?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:12
Perhaps he's still hurting and maybe that's reasonable to want to move him, but I don't think you put on the block for anything less than market-ish. So, top-20-25ish hitter?
Sleepless in Smyrna
11:14
What do you make of Carson Williams' struggles at the plate in AAA this year?  Is he still worth a stash in Ottoneu keeper leagues?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:15
He has struggled, but I don't stress about that too much with that age hitting at Triple-A the first time
11:16
And he's been much improved in June: .275/.373/.569, .411 wOBA, 144 wRC+
Also not striking out at literally everything. Yeah, still a good stash
RAGBRAI
11:17
Not much of a choice but ROS J Ortiz or House?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:17
Correct - not much of a choice lol
but I like Ortiz by a decent margin
Al
11:18
Your early pick for rookie of the years in both leagues. Also why are hit and runs, bunting and pitch outs mostly out of the game?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:18
Jacob Wilson
11:19
Agustin Ramirez
I love them very much
To your other question: the answer is math, generally
Cambo
11:21
Is Lars Nootbar cooked?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:21
Nah, not totally - just not anywhere close to what he was in April.
11:22
Will still return above-replacement value, overall, but it's of a compiling nature.
party 1
RAGBRAI
11:23
Any updates on Crews? Is he even swinging a bat yet? Seems like post AS break before we see him.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:23
Still no updates that I can find - haven't even mentioned him swinging yet
I'd definately bet on post-ASB
11:24
Also, I spell definitely wrong about 95% of the time
buffy, the umpire slayer
11:24
Is it reasonable when evaluating a possible player pickups to ignore early results? I tend to just view the last 60 or so days rather than have April results impact a player's value? You need some volume but players adjust rapidly to bad starts.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:25
Yeah, I'm of a similar mind - by this time of year, I'm heavily discounting April performances
Mikey
11:26
In a keeper auction league (up to 5 keepers, +$5 to salary), 6x6 categories (OPS and L's). I've made a point to roster some youth this season - who's an early contender to be kept in your opinion from the following rookies: Cam Smith, Marcelo Mayer, Cade Horton, and Jacob Misiorowski?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:27
All are keepable, but Smith would be in the "ish" department. Love Misiorowski, Mayer/Horton are both really good keeper assets though I generally prefer Mayer
dumboldman
11:28
Who you prefer ROS. J.Iglesias or D.Bednar? Will COS@trade deadline help Bednar?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:29
Bednar is the best bet but he might be toast come deadline
JJ
11:30
Can I give up on Bryan Reynolds? I don't want to but the .222/.655 slash line is not helping me sleep at night (H2H categories league with OPS)
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
Don't do it - I know it's been brutal, but never underestimate the power of a father coming back off of paternity leave

Westburg or Albies at 2b?
