The Daily Grind: Sticking To Baseball

I decided to run a $20 entry in the Hooters Kickoff on FantasyDraft due to a large overlay ($24.96 expected value). After ranking 38,570 out of 40,072, I think I’ll stick to baseball. I even used SaberSim and had my patrons vet my lineup. Eesh.

Brad Johnson Baseball Chat: 9/3/2019

Behold! A chat transcript.

3:55
Brad Johnson: We’ll get things kicked off in a few minutes

3:58
Jon: What is Cody Bellinger’s value in a dynasty league? I’m looking to compete next year and push in some future depth for present value. Wander Franco + David Dahl + Domingo Santana too low for an initial offer?

3:59
Brad Johnson: I suppose it depends on league depth. I’d have Wander ahead of Bellinger in my 20+ teamers. So this does seem possible. If it’s a 12 teamer, then you probably have no chance at Bellinger

3:59
Trent: Lux or DeJong rest of season?

4:00
Brad Johnson: Are you managing for floor or ceiling

Brad Johnson: DeJong is definitely going to play plenty. Lux could blow him out of the water or barely show up.
