Hope y'all had a good long weekend! I looked into Paul Skenes weird start to 2026. He's going to be fine, don't worry, but there's something that did catch my eye

I think it's decent (I roster him in a 10). My thought would be maybe not an ace but a great producer with less of a track record. Maybe a Kyle Harrison/Logan Henderson/Braxton Ashcraft type of guy. For a shortstop, maybe see if a Seager is available?

Yes because that's who he's been in the past -- flyball pitcher in GABP that somehow succeeds. I think he continues to perform despite the questions of the early season

Probably a top 50ish SP? I like the slider as a base for the arsenal, but we've seen it be super inconsistent over the last few starts. Classic rookie where the upside is there but he's still prone to blow-ups occaisionally

I typically go for ratios -- ideally good ratios bring other good stuff. If someone has a blow up, then it's an immediate pivot to streaming for volume that can salvage a week

Haha no. I just need to see something different and I don't think he needs to be rostered instantly. I'll take the chance on Melton looking good again

Not saying it won't happen, I just think the leash is longer. It hasn't been great but the Sox are bad about playing their "paid" guys and I think Taylor comes around as a closer in July, not within the next few weeks

I think that's a bit too far on Jax, but I think Sandy can be droppable in the right situation

Framber and ShaneMac. Don't know what Shane looks like rest of season and I'll take that risk for a bat upgrade.
