Puk returns to Miami in a bullpen role. He's really struggled this season walking more batter than he's struck out, but there's a non-zero chance he'll be in the saves mix for Miami. Are you holding Puk for the hope of saves or out given the skills decline?Brandon Drury has been dreary to start the season in Anaheim and now he's on the IL with a hamstring issue. Is it bad luck that should turn around or are you dropping Drury?It's been a rough month for corner infielders and if you lost Triston Casas he's hard to replace on the waiver wire. Are you holding Casas for the power upside later in the season or looking for alternatives on the waiver wire?Japanese rookie pitchers are thriving in MLB this season, who would you rather have rest of season Shōta Imanaga or Yoshinobu Yamamoto?To trade or not to trade? How aggressive should you be in trading and what's the best way to approach league mates for deals?Performing outfielders on underperforming teams would you rather have Jo Adell or Bryan De La Cruz rest of season?Love it or Leave itWords mean things and Todd is begging everyone to abandon the term scuffling players and properly differentiate between command and control.Jenny Cavnar and Julia Morales brought their daughters to work to broadcast an A's v.
