We chatted!
4:00 |
Brad Johnson: We’ll get started in a few moments.
|
4:02 |
Zach: Is Sergio Romo safe to drop, i.e. have the Twins officially said they’re sticking with Rogers at closer?
|
4:02 |
Brad Johnson: I’ve seen nothing to that effect. I always would be outright stunned if they didn’t add a closer. I’d hang onto Romo just a little longer to play it safe.
|
4:04 |
Brad Johnson: Though if you wanted to speculate on someone like Bummer, you could. Losing Romo the Closer isn’t a big deal even if he retains the job.
|
4:04 |
fast eddie: This is the end of any Ty Buttrey spec, right? We can all stop stashing him now?
|
4:04 |
Brad Johnson: You’re referring to his recent slump, right?
|
4:05 |
Brad Johnson: I think he could still climb back into the picture towards the end of the season, but I see no reason to keep squeezing the stone if you have alternatives
|
4:05 |
Mike: Which MLB position player would you trade 1×1 to get Jo Adell on a fair trade?
|
4:05 |
Brad Johnson: Oh that’s hard. I’m going to assume current contracts and Angels needs
|
4:06 |
Brad Johnson: I think it would have to be someone like Ketel Marte or Jorge Polanco. Controllable, cheap, but not quite a star
|
4:06 |
Brad Johnson: Though you could argue that last point with Marte
|
4:07 |
Brad Johnson: I’m kind of looking ahead to when the ball is less juicy and those HR turn back into 2Bs
|
4:07 |
daro: im out of contention. 12teams 10 keepers. would you trade pete alonso and giolito/soroka for freeman?
|
4:07 |
Brad Johnson: Nope. Alonso is probably a better asset.
|
4:07 |
Glass is Cheap: If you could control the Royals until the deadline, who would you be trying to trade?
|
4:07 |
Brad Johnson: This is a good one…
|
4:08 |
Brad Johnson: Well, I’d be trying to trade Merrifield for one, but I get the sense there isn’t much of a market for him.
|
4:08 |
Brad Johnson: Hamilton is an obvious swap for a B- pitching spec
|
4:08 |
Brad Johnson: Jorge Soler should go while he’s hitting
|
4:09 |
Brad Johnson: Basically, everybody except Mondesi, Lopez, and maybe Dozier
|
4:09 |
Brad Johnson: I would ask around on Dozier though. He’s not exactly young.
|
4:09 |
Kyle: The Gurriel Bros, replacement level bats or useful starters in 12 team for rest of the year?
|
4:09 |
Brad Johnson: They’re above rep level
|
4:10 |
Brad Johnson: They’ve carried at times this year, but I would expect merely decent production
|
4:10 |
Rocco: Can Will Smith (C) be counted on for ROS? I’m thinking about trading Realmuto (11th round value in a keeper league) to fill in other holes for my championship run?
|
4:10 |
Brad Johnson: No, but that doesn’t mean you can’t gamble on moving Realmuto
|
4:10 |
Brad Johnson: C is surprisingly deep this year. If Smith dries up, you might be able to get Tom Murphy. Sean Murphy is also due for a call later.
|
4:11 |
Mike: Are you holding Senzel in a shallow H2H OPS league? His counting stats haven’t been all that great
|
4:11 |
Brad Johnson: If it’s redraft, you don’t have to if you see a shiny alternative
|
4:11 |
Brad Johnson: But definitely in any scenario where he’d be kept.
|
4:11 |
Connor Joe Buck: ottoneu H2H w/ FG scoring…Scherzer ($65) and $29 loan for Severino ($33) and Nate Pearson ($3). Which side do you prefer?
|
4:12 |
Rick Hahn: What kind of return can I get if I package Colome with a Bummer or Fry?
|
4:12 |
Brad Johnson: This level of reliever typically doesn’t merit a large return. Probably a B spec of some kind
|
4:13 |
Brad Johnson: I’ll use Adam Haseley as an example
|
4:13 |
Brad Johnson: Not that the Phillies can afford to trade an OFer.
|
4:13 |
Baxter: 10 Team Standard Roto Dynasty. Kirilloff/Manning/Julio Rodriguez too much for Story or Jose Ramirez? Wanting to compete but still want to hold top prospects if possible.
|
4:13 |
Brad Johnson: No. That format is so shallow. You can rebuild that farm fast.
|
4:14 |
Brad Johnson: Any kind of 8-12 team dynasty, I would constantly pump prospects for MLBers
|
4:14 |
Brad Johnson: No sense developing your own talent unless nobody will pay for it.
|
4:14 |
Brad Johnson: Some guys slip through the cracks like that.
|
4:15 |
Brad Johnson: For example, I’ve had a $5 Hiura in Ottoneu FGpts who I’ve been trying to sell. Today I was FINALLY offered something reasonable for a win-now play (pricey Sale+Kershaw). But I had just decided that Hiura is no longer tradeable.
|
4:16 |
Mike: About the Adell trade. I’m talking fantasy-wise. 12-tm, dynasty, H2H most categories.
|
4:16 |
Brad Johnson: Well that’s no fun!
|
4:16 |
Brad Johnson: My recent comments apply. Turn him (and others) into the best guy you can get.
|
4:16 |
Brad Johnson: Preferably in place of a weak starter
|
4:17 |
cavebird: Hamilton can’t keep a job on the Royals. I would think C (not C+) prospect at best.
|
4:17 |
Brad Johnson: That’s fair enough. Playoff teams keep sending C specs for Gore
|
4:17 |
Brad Johnson: I figured Hamilton merited a little more
|
4:17 |
Brad Johnson: But I could be wrong
|
4:17 |
Roger : How much higher would you value zack wheeler Or Robbie Ray if they end up going to the Astros?
|
4:18 |
Chris: Have a surplus of pitching, what offensive player would you be targeting for Kluber? 6×6 ops and qs
|
4:18 |
Brad Johnson: Could take a stab at a Matt Chapman or DJ LeMahieu (assuming his groin is fine)
|
4:18 |
Mike: 1 IL spot and a Mondesi and a Snell… for fantasy playoff purposes, all things equal, who are you holding?
|
4:19 |
Brad Johnson: Mondesi wins SB by himself
|
4:19 |
stu: Trying to bolster my pitching for a run at the chip. 10 team mixed keeper. last place has greinke and nola, i’m in first place and would give up hendricks, stroman and picks. the question is, what picks should they be for an initial offer?
|
4:19 |
Brad Johnson: Honestly, I think you need to offer your 1st to get that deal anywhere off the ground.
|
4:20 |
Brad Johnson: It’s a weak start
|
4:20 |
Brad Johnson: But # of keeps is relevant.
|
4:21 |
Brad Johnson: If it’s like keep 3 where first round picks are guys like Anthony Rendon, you could probably get away with a lesser pick offer
|
4:21 |
Tim: I have an offer on the table of Keston Hiura for my Jo Adell. I am contending this year (dynasty league), how close is this?
|
4:21 |
Brad Johnson: Insta-accept imo
|
4:21 |
Brad Johnson: You’re getting present value and a similar quality prospect
|
4:21 |
Isaac: When Gary Sanches comes back, do we play him or Will Smith?
|
4:22 |
Brad Johnson: For now, I’ll say Sanchez. We have plenty of time to reevaluate Smith in the interim. And Sanchez might take longer than expected since they have no reason to rush him
|
4:22 |
Brad Johnson: and no DH slot to ease him back
|
4:22 |
Lenny: 12-tm, dynasty, H2H most categories A: Realmuto, Thor, J. Baez B: Betts, Berrios Who you got? And is it close?
|
4:23 |
Brad Johnson: 1. Yes, that’s close enough for me
|
4:23 |
Brad Johnson: 2. I’d take the Betts side because I kinda hate Baez’s batting profile
|
4:23 |
Brad Johnson: Sure, it’s working, but we don’t have a lot of evidence suggesting it’ll age well
|
4:23 |
Brad Johnson: As soon as he loses some twitch, he’s going to have to reinvent himself. Or turn Rougie Odor on us
|
4:24 |
Glass is Cheap: Bouncing between 4th and 5th, payout ends at 4th with getting money back and change. ~20 pts out of 2nd, do you make a big push for more money or do you sell out for next year?
|
4:24 |
Brad Johnson: I tend to walk the line in these scenarios. My mantra is “retool, not rebuild”
|
4:25 |
Brad Johnson: So if I have old guys/non-keepers with a lot of present value, I’ll shift them to future value. But I’ll also try to win.
|
4:25 |
Fantasy Help: I know it would depend on specifics, but *generally* which would you prefer: a mediocre pitcher against a bad offensive team or a good (not great/ace) pitcher against a good offensive team?
|
4:25 |
Brad Johnson: I’ll take good more often than not
|
4:25 |
Mike: Are you a Josh Van Meter believer?
|
4:25 |
Brad Johnson: Yes, early adopter!
|
4:26 |
Kyle: Do you have any guys who have been hot over the past month that you are trying to trade before they return to normal?
|
4:26 |
Brad Johnson: Yes, but I can’t comment specifically. I’m trying to trade them!
|
4:26 |
Connor Joe Buck: $4 Archer cheap enough to take a chance on?
|
4:27 |
Big Tuna : Time to cut bait w Pence in 12 tm? Hasn’t been the same since coming back
|
4:27 |
Ed: Bo Bichette worth a spot in 12-team redraft?
|
4:27 |
Brad Johnson: I think so. He’s one of those guys you’re not guaranteed to find a spot for, but somebody in your league should need him
|
4:27 |
Glass is Cheap: If you’re the Astros, who are you trying to add?
|
4:28 |
Brad Johnson: I think I put up Kyle Tucker for Thor AND Wheeler then push Miley to fifth in the rotation.
|
4:29 |
Brad Johnson: Clearly, Tucker is worth more than a good-not-great pitcher like Thor to MLB teams
|
4:29 |
Brad Johnson: And the Astros really honestly don’t need another OFer. They can find a spot for him, but they can also just use Myles Straw.
|
4:30 |
Brad Johnson: Which is a completely different profile and not as hyped
|
4:30 |
Brad Johnson: But he’s a monster.
|
4:30 |
Overhyped Yankee Prospects: Mondesi didn’t run his first time up and was sent down. He came up again and flashed what has become one of the best SB games in the league. Do we see something similar for Nicky Lopez given his track record?
|
4:30 |
Brad Johnson: I’m quite surprised by the lack of SBs
|
4:30 |
Brad Johnson: I thought we’d get some chunks of production like with Oscar Mercado
|
4:31 |
Brad Johnson: So sure, I’m hopeful of a rebound
|
4:31 |
Jordan: Keep Franco for $5 in a keep 8 league? Price goes up by $5 for 3 years, by $20 for 2 more years after that. 12 team OBP
|
4:31 |
Brad Johnson: I’d try to trade him personally
|
4:31 |
Brad Johnson: He’ll have cost about $30 by the time he’s in the majors just in time to jump to $35
|
4:32 |
Brad Johnson: I think the math sort of works, but I’d rather someone else deal with it.
|
4:32 |
Ketel Corn: Need SP’s, are there any prospects nearing a call-up?
|
4:32 |
Ed: Any SP call ups on the radar to keep an eye on?
|
4:33 |
Brad Johnson: For all the people asking about pitching prospects, my radar is mostly dry. Spend most of your time looking in High- and Double-A. Triple-A is garbage town.
|
4:33 |
Kyle: JD Davis worth a pickup with the uptick in playing time plus phenomenal batted ball profile? Its him or Vanmeter as my last bench spot
|
4:33 |
Brad Johnson: I’d try Davis over VanMeter. It’s close.
|
4:33 |
Glass is Cheap: Favorite minor league team talent wise?
|
4:33 |
Brad Johnson: I don’t follow them like that, but my hometown Durham Bulls always have a fun collection of players.
|
4:34 |
FAAB: What SP would you have to get if trading Glasnow in dynasty? Looking to compete now
|
4:34 |
Brad Johnson: I always going looking for Charlie Morton if trying to convert FV to PV
|
4:34 |
Brad Johnson: it’s the cleanest conversion since we all know he plans to retire after his current contract
|
4:34 |
Brad Johnson: No messy conversations about 2024
|
4:35 |
Pat’s Bat: What depth of redraft league should we be cutting Austin Riley now? How much dynasty value does he retain?
|
4:35 |
Brad Johnson: Dynasty value remains high. The power played more than I expected.
|
4:35 |
Brad Johnson: He’s not must-own in 12-team mixed redraft
|
4:35 |
Ketel Corn: Thoughts on Tyler Beede ROS?
|
4:36 |
Brad Johnson: I’m a big fan of Beede’s breakout.
|
4:36 |
Brad Johnson: He has guaranteed me at least one correct Bold Prediction
|
4:36 |
Dave: Somehow not playing Danny Santana more often is costing me my place in the standings… he can’t really keep this up, can he?
|
4:36 |
Brad Johnson: Danny Santana is one of my regrets this year because I’m completely flummoxed as to why he’s succeeding
|
4:37 |
Brad Johnson: Some guys are good when they’re at 100% health and suck when they’re even the slightest bit nicked up
|
4:37 |
Brad Johnson: Could be Santana is one of those guys?
|
4:37 |
Brad Johnson: Just a guess
|
4:37 |
Rufus: Harper for Bieber?
|
4:37 |
Brad Johnson: Redraft I assume. I hate it personally.
|
4:37 |
Brad Johnson: But I can see taking the leap in a AVG league
|
4:38 |
Brad Johnson: Can’t do it in OBP
|
4:38 |
Willie Stargell : Is Vazquez still a closer tomorrow night?
|
4:38 |
Brad Johnson: Sounds like it depends on Gavin Lux.
|
4:38 |
TJ: Where are the trades!?!?
|
4:38 |
Brad Johnson: So, this is an unfortunate side effect of The One True Trade Deadline
|
4:40 |
Brad Johnson: Unless the market is flooded – which is only really true for middle reliever types – then sellers are incentivized to wait until the last minute
|
4:40 |
Brad Johnson: It’s a game of chicken
|
4:40 |
Brad Johnson: For example. Thor costs Tucker from the Mets perspective. From the Astros perspective, they’d rather trade a bundle of lesser prospects
|
4:40 |
Brad Johnson: One of them will probably blink.
|
4:41 |
Brad Johnson: In the case of Thor, the Mets have the added confidence of not needing to deal him
|
4:41 |
Brad Johnson: Which is why talks have shifted to Wheeler.
|
4:41 |
Brad Johnson: (I kinda think Wheeler is better anyway)
|
4:41 |
Ketel Corn: Do you think Salazar will be in the rotation? He is electric right now.
|
4:42 |
Brad Johnson: They have a pretty scruffy bullpen so he helps in both roles
|
4:42 |
Brad Johnson: As of this moment, he should have a spot.
|
4:42 |
Bob Villar: Ketel Marte or Shane Bieber in a 5×5 OBP/QS dynasty?
|
4:42 |
Brad Johnson: If the talent level is comparable, it’s always the hitter
|
4:42 |
Closers: More saves ROS…Hendriks or Treinen?
|
4:42 |
Bobby Pseudonym: o/u 10% chance DET deals Boyd today/tomorrow
|
4:43 |
Brad Johnson: Meant to click the one above this. I haven’t heard a single Boyd rumor. With his recent slump, they’ll probably hold him until the winter
|
4:43 |
Brad Johnson: If not permanently
|
4:43 |
RP Chasing: What is your favorite stat to project future hitting performance? xwOBA maybe?
|
4:43 |
Brad Johnson: I don’t have a single go-to stat
|
4:44 |
Brad Johnson: But I do like to check batted ball and plate discipline profiles
|
4:44 |
PDog: Alex Reyes for Kirby Yates in dynasty?
|
4:44 |
Brad Johnson: If Yates is closing, that’s a great value
|
4:44 |
Brad Johnson: but… I would wait until after tomorrow if you’re adding Yates
|
4:44 |
Brad Johnson: The Yankees could hop on that market
|
4:45 |
Bob Villar: in today’s fantasy, if talent level is similar between elite hitter and elite pitcher, always go pitcher since its the top 20 SP or the GLOB.
|
4:45 |
Brad Johnson: Not in dynasty
|
4:45 |
Brad Johnson: I’ll say it’s a push in redraft.
|
4:45 |
Brad Johnson: The corollary here is that it doesn’t take much pitching to post a solid point total
|
4:46 |
Goldy’s Lumber: Thank you for the chat Brad. I read the transcript each week that I am not able to join live. 🙂
|
4:46 |
Brad Johnson: You’re welcome!
|
4:46 |
The Batman: What’s with the recent Closer blowups? Chapman, Smith, Hendriks, Osuna, CMart, Doolittle etc…seems like there’s been few clean saves lately
|
4:46 |
Brad Johnson: No kidding. It’s been a messy stretch
|
4:46 |
Do You Wanna Build A Stroman?: Are you selling Whitley or holding in dynasty formats?
|
4:46 |
Brad Johnson: Buying. His value is down. It’s time to pounce. Assuming he’s actually discounted.
|
4:46 |
bruno: Sick of hearing fantasy players talk about this so-called glob. Being able to parse the glob IS the challenge. Do you agree?
|
4:48 |
Brad Johnson: There’s a bit of random number generator to it. For example, I don’t think it’s skill that I happened to pick up Shark and Fiers for hot streaks. I grabbed them for 2-start weeks and they shoved. Then they kept pitching well.
|
4:48 |
Overhyped Yankee Prospects: What does C Frazier fetch in return in H2H 16 team league?
|
4:48 |
Brad Johnson: I’ve had trouble finding any swaps involving Frazier
|
4:49 |
Overhyped Yankee Prospects: Odds Yates gets traded within 24 hours?
|
4:49 |
Mikey: Currently have Tanaka and Paxton riding the bench the last few weeks…think either rights the ship this year?
|
4:49 |
Brad Johnson: Yes, pretty good chance.
|
4:49 |
Brad Johnson: The thing is, you’re either going to miss those games on your bench, or you’ll have to risk using them
|
4:49 |
Brad Johnson: brb, I need a snack for the stretch run
|
4:50 |
Brad Johnson: Going back to Salazar, I missed that he was just activated and will make a 70 pitch start
|
4:52 |
Overhyped Yankee Prospects: Munoz insta grab?
|
4:52 |
King Donko of Punchstania: Bob Villar is in my league. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about so just ignore him
|
4:52 |
Khris Davis: Are my woes entirely related to injuries? Or a sign of the beginning of the end of my keeper value?
|
4:52 |
Brad Johnson: I think it’s injuries
|
4:52 |
Danny Salazar: What percent of FAAB you bidding on Salazar?
|
4:53 |
Brad Johnson: I never win these sorts of guys
|
4:53 |
Brad Johnson: My FAAB game is to take the leftovers
|
4:53 |
pitching/hitting: *In hindsight*, an elite pitcher is more valuable than an elite hitter. Problem is how often the “elite” pitcher turns out to be Kluber or Sale or Snell or Carrasco or……
|
4:54 |
Nathan: Is Forrest Whitley worth keep outside of forever keeper or deep dynasty leagues? I don’t want to get stuck in another Mark Appel relationship …
|
4:54 |
Brad Johnson: Appel isn’t a good comp here. There’s more cause for concern than before the season, but he still looks like a big asset
|
4:55 |
Yates Trade: 75% chance. Uh oh. That’s a lot higher chance than most of us were thinking.
|
4:55 |
Brad Johnson: Just a guess
|
4:55 |
Brad Johnson: They have to reason to keep him and every reason to turn him into a top prospect
|
4:56 |
Arraez: Who is a good comp for this youngster? LeMahieu?
|
4:56 |
Brad Johnson: Somebody wants me to write about Arraez
|
4:56 |
Brad Johnson: Been getting (ignoring) a lot of questions
|
4:56 |
Brad Johnson: I think the profile is more of poor man’s Nick Madrigal
|
4:57 |
Brad Johnson: which might not be super helpful if you’re not familiar with Madrigal
|
4:57 |
Arraez: Sorry, just trying to frame the question in a way you’d like it posted.
|
4:58 |
Brad Johnson: Clever enough. I think you mentioned Jeff McNeil at one point which isn’t entirely off base
|
4:58 |
Brad Johnson: Has the same minimal power/speed with high average potential
|
4:58 |
Brad Johnson: Nicky Lopez is another good comp
|
4:58 |
QuestionMan: ROS: Salazar or Sean Manaea?
|
4:59 |
Brad Johnson: I’m not entirely sure when we decided Manaea was good
|
4:59 |
Brad Johnson: I went looking a month ago when Eno cut him in a deep dynasty league. I had first waiver but decided to pass. He’s never been better than ok.
|
4:59 |
Brad Johnson: Salazar has been a stud at times
|
5:00 |
Turgid: Boy Lamet is difficult to watch. Drop him for Woj?
|
5:00 |
Brad Johnson: Ya, easy enough imo
|
5:00 |
Rocco: What to do with H. Dozier? Hold or drop for Nunez or Vogelbach?
|
5:00 |
Brad Johnson: 10-team, right?
|
5:00 |
Brad Johnson: I’d go Vogey as my primary
|
5:01 |
Brad Johnson: swap in the others when Vogel draws LHP
|
5:01 |
QuestionMan: what should I do with Giles? hold? sell low?
|
5:01 |
Brad Johnson: I think you’re stuck
|
5:01 |
Brad Johnson: Good news is the Blue Jays might be too
|
5:01 |
Brad Johnson: so he’ll continue to close
|
5:01 |
Arraez: No need to post this one. The Jeff McNeil one wasn’t actually me. Looks like more people have Arraez interest than me. Really appreciate the chat.
|
5:01 |
Brad Johnson: You can’t tell me what to do!
|
5:01 |
SB Hunting: Any sneaky names worth chasing for steals late in the season? Peterson? Locastro? Other?
|
5:02 |
Brad Johnson: Ugh, the SB market is a joke
|
5:02 |
Brad Johnson: I tried to get Jarrod Dyson in a 20-team dynasty and was quoted Jesse Winker
|
5:02 |
Brad Johnson: which reminds me, I think I’ll offer Winker for Mallex
|
5:03 |
Brad Johnson: By the way, I’ve not seen one question about Nick Pivetta
|
5:03 |
Brad Johnson: He’s apparently the latest conversion stud
|
5:04 |
Brad Johnson: Fastball up 2 mph, SwStr% jumped into 20% range
|
5:04 |
CMart: In a dynasty/keeper, does he still have elite SP upside?
|
5:05 |
Pivetta: Am I the 9th inning answer for the Phillies?
|
5:05 |
I’ll play along: More saves rest of season: LeClerc or Pivetta?
|
5:05 |
Brad Johnson: If they’re feeling stingy, maybe.
|
5:05 |
Brad Johnson: It’ll be easier to play this game in a couple days. I’ll say Leclerc for now.
|
5:05 |
Nathan: I’m a big believer in Ramon Laureano … but his reliance on BABIP really concerns me. Especially given his subpar MLB plate discipline. Should I be concerned long term? Or should I just shut up and enjoy the ride?
|
5:05 |
Brad Johnson: I think we’re looking at a very streaky hitter
|
5:06 |
Brad Johnson: The profile is different, but I’d comp him to Domingo Santana
|
5:06 |
King Donko of Punchstania: What do you expect from Kluber ROS?
|
5:06 |
Brad Johnson: 4 or 5 starts with a strikeout per inning and decent ratios?
|
5:06 |
Bob Villar: Hunter Dozier or Brendan McKay in an OBP/QS Dynasty?
|
5:06 |
Brad Johnson: McKay for me
|
5:07 |
G: Whats up Brad always appreciate.
1.16 league. Advanced. Need a HOLD. Who should I drop? Would you prioritize em please? JKelly PBaez Gant DanielHudson DPhelps DHolland(not Greg) RHarper Treinen
2.Castellanos Desmond Pederson Smoak BReynolds Renfroe. Which two should I keep on?
3.Backstops. I got CKelly but JMcCann WRamos DJansen Alfaro BMcCann in wire. Whos gonna be the best ROS?
|
5:07 |
Brad Johnson: 1. you need one today? Phelps is the drop then because he’s not with the Cubs
|
5:08 |
Brad Johnson: Prioritizing them is a bit much for this format.
|
5:09 |
Brad Johnson: 2. I have it narrowed down to Pederson, Reynolds, and Renfroe
|
5:09 |
Brad Johnson: 3. Stick with Kelly
|
5:09 |
Darvish: Does he help teams during stretch run?
|
5:09 |
Brad Johnson: He’s been helping my teams
|
5:09 |
Sneaky Trade Targets: Among players who have fallen out of favor with their current organizations, who is more likely to be part of a trade package tonight or tomorrow: Foltynewicz, Wacha, or McHugh?
|
5:09 |
Brad Johnson: I think Folty is likeliest of that group
|
5:10 |
Brad Johnson: They’ve given him plenty of chances and have embarrassing pitching depth
|
5:10 |
Brad Johnson: I suspect the Cardinals are more tired of Wacha, but they have less depth
|
5:10 |
Brad Johnson: As for McHugh, pretty sure the Astros still really like him
|
5:10 |
Brad Johnson: Time to wrap it up
|

QuestionMan: An owner in my league keeps spamming me with borderline insulting offers. Not in terms of one-to-one talent, but in terms of his obviously paying 0 attention to my needs. Example: he offers me up Jose Altuve for my Trevor Bauer when I already have Merrifield and need more (not less) SP. I’m about to burn this bridge, hard. Any reason I shouldn’t?

HappyFunBall: Going to go over my innings limit, want to move an arm or two and make better use of my roster spots. Should I differentiate between Chirinos, Gibson, Lucchesi, and Wood, or just take the best offer?

Simple Joe: I have too many OF. Consequently I want to trade one of them to a non-contender for value elsewhere in my lineup. But I have strong concerns that this other own will immediately up and trade this OF to my biggest rival – who coincidentally needs OF help. Is the better play to make my team better or try and keep my opponent from getting better at my own expense?

The Dude: 12 team H2H – Is it time to give up on Eovaldi, or you still holding out? Brad: still holding out, but it’s a short leash. And he’s on my bench. See what happens tomorrow.
