Players are not IL-eligible until they're on the IL. Not going to the IL, but on it, officially. This will happen for some before Wednesday night, but not many. If you'd like to force them into your IL spots ahead of time, the person to ask is your commissioner.

@Ant_the_knee86 Schultz

@CBSScottWhite Painter or Schultz?

Noah Schultz warrants an immediate pickup amid word of his promotion. I explain why and consider some of the pitchers you could drop for him: cbssports.com/fantasy/baseba…

@Nichola67110691 I'd drop Hancock.

@CBSScottWhite would you drop hancock or Messick for him?

I'd pick him up anywhere and everywhere because I can't think of a format where I don't need more pitching.

@pmvikingspm For sure

@CBSScottWhite Would you drop Sherzer for him

@Baum0012 It's not that my pitching is bad. It's that it could always go bad.

@CBSScottWhite I thought you wrote an article pre season not to overspend on pitching at the draft due to the fact there’s a wealth of it?

@Sowses_n_fixins Of them, I'd drop Holmes.

@CBSScottWhite I do have a minor league spot but I just picked up Didier

@NMazz_45 @wOBAWanKenobi I wouldn't forfeit a chance at Schultz for a two-start sleeper.

@CBSScottWhite @wOBAWanKenobi Him, Keller or springs for 2 start this week?

@mattaficionado I say it when it's true. When it's not true, I don't say it. 🤷‍♂️

@CBSScottWhite Love the decisiveness on where to add! Need more of this!

@Shanahanigans1 Eldridge is DH-only at the moment, which explains his absence at 1B.

@CBSScottWhite Scott, I know how high you are on Bryce Eldridge, but I don’t see him in your 1B ranks. Charlie Condon is there though. Who do you view is the higher prospect? Thanks!

@Kanuck1616 If you can still win players with $0 bids, I'd have a hard time leaving anything on the table.

@CBSScottWhite I don't understand either but this seems like a gift but I don't want to come in too low. Budget works differently on Fantrax we only have to bid during 3 days until they clear waivers. You can get players on waivers for $0 but need to bid over 3 days

Here's my breakdown of some of the new waiver wire targets to emerge in the past few days, included Taj Bradley and Colt Keith: cbssports.com/fantasy/baseba…

@Kanuck1616 Not at all. I'm trying to understand the rationale for dropping him in the first place. Of course, it wouldn't be advisable even if he was pitching poorly, but he's been great.

@CBSScottWhite Scott , I never miss your pod. You and the guys have the best content. I'm in 12- team head to head points league. One owner in league has dropped Woo and I was wondering how much of $100 claim budget I would want to spend? Is over 50 crazy?

They're all very close in my rankings. The safest order is Messick, Soriano, Bradley. The highest-upside order is probably the reverse. I think in most leagues, I'd shoot for upside. As for the Rays bullpen, I'm still leaning toward Uceta getting the majority of the saves, but it'll remain messy for a while.

@CBSScottWhite Love your work @CBSFantasy @FBTpod Scott. How would you rank the priority of Jose Soriano, Parker Messick and Taj Bradley as pick ups? How do you think the Rays bullpen will unfold with Jax, Uceta and Bryan Baker as possible save options ?

You were a legend, Jorge.

@Roto_Frank Tell me about it ... stud.

SHOULD HAVE LEFT SANDY IN

Got a little intestinal infection that we’re treating with antibiotics, but I was moved to a liquid diet today after not eating since Saturday, so I’m moving in the right direction! Thanks!
