Summary
What an eventful weekend it was, capped off by James Paxton being terrible! For our OMGG players of the night, should we consider dropping Paxton (1:58)? How excited should we be about adding Tyler Chatwood and just how good can Clayton Kershaw be? ... Onto news and notes, the Cardinals reportedly have positive COVID tests so pay attention to that (9:27). With Lorenzo Cain and Yoenis Cespedes opting out, should we be adding Dominic Smith or Ben Gamel? ... In Astros news, Forrest Whitley is shut down, Yordan Alvarez is apparently 10-14 days away, and Roberto Osuna is headed to the IL (14:53). How much FAAB should we spend on Ryan Pressly? Also, Monte Harrison is being called up, Jairo Diaz is the next closer up for the Rockies and Nick Madrigal is a must-own player. ... It's time to talk about these hitters (25:37)! Who is most interesting from Colin Moran, Teoscar Hernandez, Trent Grisham, Jacoby Jones, Robinson Cano, and Matt Kemp? ... Onto pitchers, Chris isn't a fan of Kyle Freeland but does fancy Spencer Turnbull (38:46). Who does Scott prefer between Yusei Kikuchi and Taijuan Walker? ... For the Drop-O-Meter, is it time to let go of names like Andrew Benintendi and Luke Weaver (43:43)? ... Who were the rest of the studs and duds from the weekend (51:42)? and what bullpen notes stood out most (58:21)? ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
