K ꓘ 188 - Using the Wire in Keeper Formats

Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (chadyoung.bsky.social) couldn't get together this week, so Chad went solo, talking about how he thinks about waivers and FAAB in keeper leagues as compared to redraft. With so much waiver wire content out there, how can you, the keeper-league-playing Keep or Kut listener, use that content for a different context than it was intended.

0:42 - H2H Heroes starts with a couple of bats, and while Chad picked Cam Smith, C.J. Abrams was worth a look, too.

10:05 - Chad planned on one hitter and one pitcher, but how do you decide between Sandy Alcantara and Cam Schlittler?

1949 break 1

19:50 - When it comes to hitters on the wire, Chad will prioritize long-term value because the upside (multiple seasons worth) is so much higher than for a one-year rental type. And that influences how he reads waiver content.

2935 break 2

29:36 - Pitchers, on the other hand, Chad is more inclined to focus on the present, at least relative to hitters.
