Hello, friends
No time to waste, let's go
Stash Question
11:01
Hi there, I’m Steve and I’m in a 12-team rotisserie league scoring keeper league with a stashing Q. Who would you stash now and why, Bubba Chandler (I have right now) or Samuel Basallo or Sebastian Walcott?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:02
Bubba Chandler - his potential doesn't need to be gone over more, should've already been called up but I'm sure the they're using his bad June as further excuse. but I think it's a case of "I'm sick of being in the minors-itis"
Basallo looks great but I rarely invest much in young offensive catchers. Curve tends to be too long
11:03
And Walcott is a delicious tool shed who has a discount-Tatis ceiling
but I'd still rather have Chandler
Fantasy question
11:03
I am in a scoresheet keeper league. You have to jump on the prospects early. What do you see long term for the careers of Thomas White and Justin Crawford? Thanks.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:04
White's a high-gas lefty, but needs another pitch and better control
I like Crawford -- you just have to accept the eternal lack of power
11:05
but we've seen high obp/speed profiles be super valuable in the recent fantasy landscape and he's just smoking the minors even after the aggressive Triple-A move

Wilyer A. or C. Cowser. Thanks for your chats.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:05
You're welcome!
Gimme Cowser
11:06
Same story, different months with both -- Abreu wasn't as good as he was in April, or bad as in May...flip it for Cowser
But Abreu still struggles(/doesn't play) vs LHP and I'd rather have Cowser's everyday life

How would you rank R Lewis, Correa, Caglianone, C Keith and J Sanchez in h2h cat leagues?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:07
I can't tell you how excited I am when getting to rank the Jesus first
The Jesus > Correa > Caglianone > Keith > Lewis
11:08
Just be aware in a Cats league that Sanchez can be a complete liablitiy in week's with a bunch of LHPs on the schedule
Cold Turkey Stearnes
11:08
$12 Michael Harris or $11 Taj Bradley in Ottoneu? Is there anything pointing to a recovery for Harris or should I just get what I can while I can?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:08
I want no part of an $11 Taj, so I guess gimme Harris
11:09
Given previous history, it's hard to completely abandon ship...
but damn. so ugly

11:09
At this point what should we expect from Westburg ros?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:10
About the rates we've seen before -- a .260ish average, 60-70 R+RBI, close to double-digit HR, and no speed

I’m in a head to head league with these pitching categories: K QS W ERA WHIP K/9 SV. Do you think strikeouts are weighed too heavily?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:12
Probably but I'd have to run the numbers to see by how much, because W and QS are also going overweight things, as well. Not sure if they would end up balancing thing out -- the biggest casualty is like RPs
But again, I'd have to run some numbers.
11:13
I do a custom ranks service for RotoBaller during the preseason and end up seeing a TON of different league setups, so this stuff is fairly interesting to me
*likely RPs
Blade Tidwell
11:14
Do you see him or Blackburn sticking in the rotation once Manaea comes back?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:14
Blackburn
Houston Circus
11:14
After taking Tucker first round last year and Yordan this year, I don't think I'll draft another Astro anytime soon lol
Nicklaus Gaut
11:14
I feel ya man - brutal stuff
11:15
I've had a lot of Tucker/Yordan in my life the last few years and it hurts
dumboldman
11:16
Walker or Rhys?  /  Volpe or Story? Happy 4th NG.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:16
Walker but that's just personal preference -- pretty close
And Volpe by a mile
Happy 4th to you!
