Show notes
Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) take a look at some first-half-keeper-league All Stars (largely based on value gained compared to their ADP) after a spirited conversation about their Head-to-Head Heroes from last week.
5:00 - Chad picks George Springer as his Head-to-Head Hero. Pete goes with Jasson Domínguez and Michael Busch in a two-way tie.
16:30 - Conversation about our keeper league All Stars begins with Emmet Sheehan, oddly enough.
23:02 - Kris Bubic and Andrew Abbott are looking like probable keepers for 2026 and make the Keeper League All Star Team.
29:00 - Chad likes what Ryne Nelson is cooking up this season. Pete is worried about the fastball usage.
33:52 - Casey Mize has a 2.63 ERA through 15 starts. Is this a breakout and slam dunk keeper, or is he a first-half fluke.
35:34 - Grant Holmes and Edward Cabrera look really good! Cabrera's success is long overdue for Pete!
41:45 - Both hosts are excited about the idea of keeping Hunter Goodman and Andy Pages for 2026 at this point.
46:38 - Eugenio Suárez, Christian Yelich, Sonny Gray, and Merrill Kelly are having solid seasons, but are their seasons so good that managers should consider keeping them?
49:31 - Jhoan Duran could be a potential keeper based on his numbers so far, potentially in roto leagues, at least.
50:28 - Nick Pivetta should make the keeper league All Star team, the homers are down!
51:25 - Will Vest and Emilio Pagán generate a short conversation about how to approach closer keepers.
53:39 - Cristopher Sánchez is looking like a slam dunk keeper given his 2025 cost.
55:08 - Nathan Eovaldi is good when he pitches, but is probably not a keeper 2026.
55:53 - Byron Buxton once again gets talked about on Keep or Kut.
57:23 - Carlos Rodón and Robbie Ray are pitching like aces, but their costs were more pricey than most of the players we had discussed to this point. Does it look like they will still be worth keeping for 2026, despite that cost?
59:38 - Bryan Woo is most likely going to be a keeper in a lot of leagues.
1:01:03 - Joe Ryan and Pete Crow-Armstrong end the show. Pete and Chad discuss if they will have a lot of shares of PCA in 2026 or not.
