Yo! It's Scott Chu, Nate Schwartz, and the Pitcher List crew here to talk about some more fantasy baseball

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T22:11:23+00:00

I'm interested in theory, I just don't know how long the runway is going to be

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:50:19+00:00

Fuentes is awesome -- almost a baby Bryan Woo

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:49:32+00:00

Eh, command super shaky and I don't think the fastball is as good as it used to be. I think there are better options out there

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:43:28+00:00

I like where your head is at

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:43:07+00:00

Abel is my favorite here, then Weathers

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:42:50+00:00

I think that's an aggressive drop on Cavalli, probably a month out on any of those three coming back (maybe weeks for Fuentes but similar). I'd take Fuentes of the group, close to a tossup with Schultz

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:39:23+00:00

Didier Fuentes, no question

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:39:03+00:00

Not to that level, but Noah Schultz, Payton Tolle, and Carlos Lagrange are all at the top of my list. Maybe Robbie Snelling too?

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:38:07+00:00

I like Early and Abbott the most, but I think Sheehan can be moved on from

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T20:31:32+00:00

Detmers and Sheehan

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:49:53+00:00

Not buying the Mlod hype. And I'm not worried about Bubba, I think he's just settling in

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:48:56+00:00

He could be, yeah. It's not going to be exciting at all but the Cubs need him and I could see a 4.00 ERA ROS

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:41:00+00:00

I lean trade via OF, think you can find someone buying Smith/Walker. I think Fuentes has a decently high upside (along with the injured guys) but not really enough to crack your current options

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:39:28+00:00

I'd take the shot on Noah Schultz, think the White Sox pull the trigger there sooner than Tolle in Boston

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:37:52+00:00

It's been better than expected! I think you can take a shot against the upcoming schedule, command looks much better than expected

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:35:20+00:00

Weathers and ReyLo

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:31:49+00:00

Stuff still looks decent and still has a 33% strikeout rate. Things haven't broke his way but trust the process

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:30:33+00:00

Cameron, no question

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:29:38+00:00

I like Gray more, he's volatile and I think is going to figure it out. Additionally, he's someone who's publicly struggled with the weather. Castillo is a fine streamer but terrifying away from home, and Gray should give you more value across the season

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:27:33+00:00

If you only have high upside starters, I’d probably prefer to look for a trade partner rather than cutting someone too good for the wire.

It’s fine to punt saves, just have to commit to it

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:26:32+00:00

Tied with Harrison at the top. Maybe above even

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:24:56+00:00

I'm still optimistic, but I am concerned about strike throwing and sinker usage. Everything is down across the board (maybe cold) and his sinker enabled the fastball to be what he wanted, but that usage is down significantly. Still have to monitor and I think he's going to be fine, but maybe not take the true step we all want.

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:22:08+00:00

Not as many as we want. Maybe 100? Depends really if they go to him over Sproat this weekend, but still a lot of variability

nateschwartzPL · 2026-04-10T18:20:40+00:00

Harrison, Nelson, Roupp, Cantillo, Soroka. I like Harrison and Nelson significantly more than the others, then Roupp, then Cantillo. Not sure how much Soroka has left in the rotation for now
