Summary
So this weekend just turned into The Walking Dead, huh? So many big names either landed on the IL or were scratched from their starts. For the OMGG players of the weekend, Scott calls on Yordan Alvarez who did not play Sunday with knee soreness? What do you do with Alvarez in dynasty? Where should Pablo Lopez rank in terms of waiver wire priority? Trevor Gott was just brutal this weekend. What will happen with the Giants bullpen? ... Onto news and notes, there's a lot so buckle in (14:38). Given the Bo Bichette injury, who's a shortstop to target on waivers? With Aaron Judge and LeMahieu going down, what's the interest level in Clint Frazier and Mike Tauchman? Do we start or sit Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac? Luckily for you, we've got waiver wire hitters (30:54)! Who stands out most from Teoscar Hernandez, Dominic Smith, Robinson Cano, Kole Calhoun, and Shin Soo Choo? ... For waiver wire pitchers (35:40), how does Chris rank Pablo Lopez, Justus Sheffield, Danny Duffy, Elieser Hernandez, and Kevin Gausman? ... Is now the time to buy-low on Lucas Giolito and Walker Buehler (40:55)? On the flipside, should we be selling-high on Merrill Kelly, Dinelson Lamet, Cristian Javier and Zack Wheeler (SORRY I MEANT WHEELER HERE AND SAID BUEHLER). ... Should we start or sit Nathan Eovaldi, Framber Valdez, Dustin May, Garrett Richards, and Robbie Ray in Week 5 (53:27)? ... To stream or not to stream, Monday edition (1:01:33). ...
