Hello, friends

Happy (almost) All-Star Break
Let's baseball!
Oh Say Can You Seigler
1:01
T​he Red Sox can try and trick me all they like, but I know that starting Romy Gonzalez and Anthony Seigler is not the same as having Roman Anthony.

Way to keep your head on a swivel, my friend
classic MLB smokescreen

Thanks for these chats! A Diamondbacks and a Mets query: Are the Mets more likely to extend C Holmes or trade him? And where's are the likely landing spots?
With P Smith out and Waldschmidt back, what becomes of Kepler's playing time? Can he/will he play 1b?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:02
You're welcome!
I'd say the chances of an extenstion are slim, to none
1:03
Astros
Jays
Kepler's PT is going to take the biggest hit
1:04
and while he could play 1B, I suspect they would go with one of the more natural fits
unless he hits his way into it
and if he does, they'll probably just ship him
Bench Pressed
1:04
Strategy Question: AL Only with a 3-man bench, daily moves. What would be your bat/arm breakdown?
I usually have a spare bat to swap in for days off and two relievers to keep in the lineup. But I’m finding the bats more interesting and currently have 2 on my bench, even though that can mean only playing once a week. Am I larding up the roster or storing fat for a good winter?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:05
In a vacuum, I would lean keeping the two bats
but it would really depend on the reliabity of the starters you have now

Better long term keeper value - AJ Ewing or Gelof?  H2H league w/ OPS
Nicklaus Gaut
1:05
ehh, that's really close
1:06
I think I'm still going Gelof, even if his floor is probably lower
but it's the fool who blindly ignores the power of Mets stank

​In my effort to get these Titanic deck chairs juuust right, can you rank (or pitck a couple faves from) these AL Only OBP bench bats? Denzer Guzman, Anthony Seigler, Kahlil Watson, Gabriel Arias, and, why not, Tyler O’Neil? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:08
where or where do we put all these chairs?
Arias > Watson > O'Neill > Seigler > Guzman

Do you think that Guardians ownership and management get a pass in that they build a team to compete for the title in the worst division in baseball, but clearly never build a team that can compete for a WS Championship?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:09
are you just trying to bait me into a giant rant about the Cardinals whole philosophy???????????
1:10
Cause that's a quick way to do it!
tl;dr
no, I don't think they should get a pass
That’s Sick
1:11
Do I trust JT Ginn to be sick (good) this weekend or will he be sick (vomit) instead?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:11
the latter
Noah and Drowning
1:12
Sat Noah Schultz vs. Boston and felt smart. What should I do with him against the A’s this weekend? AL Only but with a starts limit. Time to cut for a middle reliever?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:12
I'd sit him at CHW too
depends on the rest of your staff/starts left, but it a reasonable consideration
1:13
until he get control under, well, control, he's a hard option to use, even in AL only
Angels fan forever
1:14
Hi Nicholas, thanks for all your help! How would you rank for ROS, Kirk, Rushing, Jeffers?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:14
You're welcome!
And I always welcome a chance to pick Ryan Jeffers first
