Brad Johnson RotoGraphs Chat – 8/2/16
Here’s today’s transcript. We should have more trade deadlines to stir the pot.
1:45 |
: Hey folks, let’s get rolling. Why don’t we talk about some real baseball trades for a bit before diving into purely fantasy questions
|
1:46 |
: Got offered Raji Davis, Danny Espinosa, and Salvador Perez, for my Margot and Willson Cotreras in our 10 team OPS, H2H dynasty league. Which Side do you like? Personally I like my guys more since Espinosa is losing time with Turner up, Davis is almost 36 and never seems to be a starter at the beginning of a season and Contreras seems to have way more offensive upside then Perez.
|
1:46 |
: Contreras is the guy to own in that scenario
|
1:47 |
: Brad, I was offered J.D. Martinez for Osuna? I’m strong in saves. Worth the risk for J.D.?
|
1:47 |
: I’m a huge JDM fan and he’s due back any day now. I’d do it based on your stated needs
|
1:47 |
: ny chance the Yankees try to flip Frazier and Judge with other top end prospects for Trout this offseason? MAybe include Severino.
|
1:47 |
: They aren’t good enough
|
1:48 |
: they could try, but they need a high grade established youngster too. Think Odubel Herrera + Frazier/Sev/Judge/Bird/Betances/++
|
1:48 |
: To acquire Mike Trout, I figure you need to offer at least 8 good to very good players
|
1:49 |
: Red Sox could do it for less with Moncada, Benintendi, Devers as the headline
|
1:49 |
: still need a lot more beyond that
|
1:49 |
: Better fantasy prospect, Brinson or Corey Ray?
|
1:49 |
: Not much read on Ray just yet so I’ll go with the established guy. Odds are you have better alternatives
|
1:50 |
: Was there really no market for Derek Norris?
|
1:50 |
: I guess not? I thought he would go to the Rangers. The Indians deal falling apart probably ruined that
|
1:50 |
: Did we screw the Padres on the Rea deal?
|
1:50 |
: So this was a weird one
|
1:51 |
: They MUST have talked through that exact scenario before executing the first trade. Otherwise they would have shrugged and said too bad
|
1:51 |
: In a league where saves and holds are equal, the Yankees deals hurt the value of Betances, right? Still great pitcher but less opportunities
|
1:51 |
: I don’t see why that would be the case, saves are more numerous than holds
|
1:51 |
: they’ll still use him frequently
|
1:52 |
: What did you think of what Milwaukee did yesterday? Like the Texas haul better than what they were set to receive from Cleveland?
|
1:52 |
: No, I liked Cleveland’s offer a lot more
|
1:52 |
: That said, I thought the Lucroy/Jeffress swap was fine, a bit light based on what the market paid for comparable RP
|
1:53 |
: Jeffress alone rated Brinson or Ortiz ++
|
1:53 |
: and Lucroy should be worth more than Jeffress I would think
|
1:53 |
: however…just because they could have gotten more doesn’t mean it was really a bad deal
|
1:54 |
: My Justin Turner for his Anthony Rendon in a 12 team obp/slg league.
|
1:54 |
: If you need a chance for +6 SB and/or a 2B. Otherwise, I prefer Turner in a vacuum
|
1:54 |
: So now that Gallo has not been traded, has he been sent down to AAA forever because….
|
1:54 |
: Kinda shocked he wasn’t traded. His immediate future is a big ol ???
|
1:55 |
: Do you think Cleveland may have overpaid for Miller? Given what the Nats ended up giving for Melancon, and knowing what possible injury risk comes with Miller.
|
1:55 |
: Yea, it’s the injury risk that does it for me. I’m fine with the deal if the forearm issue wasn’t out there
|
1:55 |
: And as long as he helps them run deep into October, it was worth it
|
1:56 |
: can’t count on a rotation first roster to carry you multiple years.
|
1:56 |
: ex. Mets
|
1:56 |
: Out of it in a H2H 8×8 OBP league, keep 6. Keeping Machado, Correa, Syndegaard. Have to choose 3 of Cespedes, Jackie Bradley, Yelich, Giolito, Bregman, Contreras and Moncada. Help! Trade deadline is in 2 weeks! Thank you.
|
1:57 |
: Well, not Yelich, Giolito, or Contreras. Obviously, I’d try to trade for more Machado-level talents
|
1:57 |
: and I take it back, maybe Yelich if Bregman doesn’t adjust at all
|
1:58 |
: Higher upside for fantasy playoffs (pts lg) Gurriel or Benintendi?
|
1:58 |
: I’ll say benintendi, but that’s mostly because Gurriel could be just about anything
|
1:58 |
: and most of anything is a range of bad outcomes
|
1:58 |
: Carlos Martinez (my team) vs Edwin Diaz and Wainwright or Maeda ? Good move for the rest of season or not enough ?
|
1:58 |
: take Diaz and Waino
|
1:59 |
: General fantasy league question for you: when setting a trade deadline, isn’t it wise to always have it after the MLB deadline? About half the teams in one of my leagues are now without their closers and I’m holding 6 that I can’t trade, but I don’t want to drop.
|
1:59 |
: uh, yea
|
1:59 |
: In my opinion, the fantasy trade deadline should be around 9/15
|
1:59 |
: 8/30 on the early side
|
1:59 |
: Needed to open up a roster spot so I traded 4 years of Urias and 4 years of Severino for 5 years of Moncada? By how much did I overpay?
|
1:59 |
: No that’s a shrewd move
|
1:59 |
: not overpayment at all, pitchers are so flammable
|
2:00 |
: What do we do with Max Kepler? Top 30 OFer ROS?
|
2:00 |
: I have to answer that conundrum for myself. Was offered EE (non keeper) for $7 to keep Kepler (+$7 per season)
|
2:00 |
: My team is 4th and needs offense
|
2:01 |
: the one thing I’ll say about Kepler, he’s risen to the competition at every level
|
2:01 |
: always looks like he should stall at the next stop and then he adjusts
|
2:02 |
: The stat guy in me says to expect regression in the ISO ASAP
|
2:02 |
: Poured resources into speculative saves since I’m way out this year. Looks like I’m hitting on Edwin Diaz. Thoughts Cam Bedrosians follows?
|
2:02 |
: very likely
|
2:02 |
: Street’s awful
|
2:02 |
: Maybe a question for Eric, but do any of the prospects/youngins dealt yesterday/recently see playing time this year? Dilson Herrera maybe? Susac probably?
|
2:02 |
: Susac should start immediately
|
2:02 |
: he’s a 26 year old
|
2:03 |
: not a prospect, just a guy who should be in the majors
|
2:03 |
: I would say Herrera should be up, but the Reds didn’t shed Cozart or Phillips
|
2:03 |
: so they’ll probably leave him in Triple-A one more year
|
2:04 |
: let’s see…
|
2:04 |
: Tilson should get a Sept. call up
|
2:04 |
: he’s MLB ready
|
2:04 |
: good 4th or 5th outfielder
|
2:05 |
: kinda Jon Jay-ish with speed and better plate discipline
|
2:05 |
: And are any of them fantasy relevant?
|
2:05 |
: Tilson could help with SB
|
2:06 |
: Susac is great for 2C leagues. Similar to Cameron Rupp
|
2:06 |
: In my 18 team 5 year keeper league I was offered Tanner Roark for my JBJ (both have same keeper status). I need pitching but I can do better, right?
|
2:06 |
: Yea, much better
|
2:06 |
: if you’re going for it, target a big name non-keeper instead
|
2:06 |
: make a difference in your bid to win
|
2:07 |
: if you’re just floating near contention, then prioritize hitters over pitchers
|
2:07 |
: If Salazar is hurt, is Clevinger or Anderson worth a shot in AL-only?
|
2:07 |
: Yep they’re worth a shot
|
2:07 |
: just understand the downside when starting them
|
2:07 |
: Did the Giants overpay for Will Smith? Solid catchers don’t grow on trees as this season tells us and a guy who could make the rotation is a nice return (frankly like everything the Brew Crew did this deadline)
|
2:07 |
: Seemed a tad high but only because of the recent injury
|
2:08 |
: Remember, Smith was expected to get surgery but opted to rehaab
|
2:09 |
: I’m picking up Hutchinson in my NL only. Am I an idiot?
|
2:09 |
: No, the Pirates clearly think his HR problems will evaporate in PNC
|
2:09 |
: and why not…
|
2:09 |
: Do you think Manaea can give me ”almost” the same numbers than Matt Moore for the ROS ? ERA, WHIP, K
|
2:09 |
: yea, sounds about right. They’re both infuriating
|
2:10 |
: Will I disappoint fantasy owners RoS?
|
2:10 |
: when you set the bar so high with a 3HR game, it’s inevitable
|
2:10 |
: I sat Duffy last night b/c TB usually punishes LHP. Why does it hurt so bad?
|
2:10 |
: But they traded Pearce and Guyer, their two mashiest lefty mashers
|
2:11 |
: when I saw that, I immediately switched to Duffy in DFS (also had to divest of Pearce and Guyer)
|
2:11 |
: Just a few points out needing wins and saves in my 10 team roto keep forever i traded Machado and Fernandez for a haul- Murphy, Franco, Scherzer, Arrieta, Jansen and Osuna. I know I got plenty for this year, but how much will I regret this long term? May just keep Franco, Scherzer, Arrieta. Murphy is on the fence.
|
2:11 |
: You will feel the pain, unless you win
|
2:12 |
: then anything is justifiable
|
2:12 |
: take the bird in hand when you can
|
2:12 |
: Brad: Salazar’s elbow pain concerns me. Trading deadline has passed. What SPs do you think I should try to stash in a deep league? Musgrove? Chad Green? Somebody else? Thx.
|
2:13 |
: It’s been a rough year for pitching gems Shoemaker, Guerra, Fulmer, and uh
|
2:13 |
: someone just slipped my mind
|
2:13 |
: point being, very few good pitchers appeared on the wire
|
2:13 |
: not really expecting more to arrive
|
2:13 |
: keep looking for streaming options
|
2:13 |
: Starting Reddick and Belt in Utility Spots in a 12 team roto. Should I be looking for an upgrade?
|
2:13 |
: seems fine to me
|
2:13 |
: DO you see Dylan Cozens making an impact for PHI? Their OF is horrible
|
2:13 |
: this year? Absolutely not
|
2:14 |
: ever? probably also no
|
2:14 |
: too much swing and miss
|
2:14 |
: How did I get someone to take Matt Kemp and not pay 80% of that contract? What pictures do I have of whom?
|
2:14 |
: you took a deplorable human being in exchange
|
2:14 |
: Who’ll be closing for the Astros in a month?
|
2:14 |
: ken giles? Luke Gregerson? Will Harris?
|
2:15 |
: your guess is as good as mine
|
2:15 |
: It’s probably dreaming that Arcia comes up and plays like Lindor 2.0. But can we get maybe 1/2 a Lindor (great defense, good speed)?
|
2:15 |
: Ah, yes, let’s talk Arcia
|
2:15 |
: do NOT expect anything from him this season. He had tepid numbers at Colorado Springs
|
2:15 |
: which is one of the craziest hitting environments in the entire world
|
2:16 |
: 90 wRC+ if memory serves
|
2:16 |
: Arcia will steal some bases, and it’s not like he was bad at Triple-A
|
2:16 |
: his skill set is singles, plate discipline, and running
|
2:16 |
: it’s not all that exciting fantasy wise
|
2:16 |
: Lindor 2.0 is a pipe dream, there’s no looming power outbreak
|
2:17 |
: Do you figure the reason some teams who should’ve sold (Phils, Braves, possibly Astros) that didn’t figure they can wait for the winter where the SP market is, well, headlined by Brett Anderson?
|
2:17 |
: For the Phillies specifically, I think Klentak was proving he wouldn’t back down when he believed in his asking price
|
2:17 |
: I don’t think the Braves held anybody they could have traded
|
2:18 |
: I mean they could have dealt Teheran, but he’s probably more valuable to them
|
2:18 |
: For all I complain about pitchers imploding, you do need to gamble on some of them
|
2:18 |
: fyi, I’m 15 minutes behind on comments, but I’m not going to skip forward just yet
|
2:19 |
: y’all are asking interesting questions today 🙂
|
2:19 |
: How far apart are Machado and Franco with Manny not running anymore?
|
2:19 |
: Still pretty far
|
2:19 |
: It’s Benintendi time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
2:19 |
: Sure is
|
2:19 |
: Couldn’t the PTBNL change the perception of the Milwaukee side?
|
2:19 |
: Yea, usually isn’t a big name, but you never know
|
2:20 |
: People in Pittsburgh are up in arms over every trade. I like them all.
|
2:20 |
: I gave Dejan some shit for a particularly whinny article
|
2:20 |
: they’re fine
|
2:20 |
: different than everyone else, but that’s where Pittsburgh operates
|
2:21 |
: I really like Felipe Rivero. I think he can be a good starter even if they want to give it a try
|
2:21 |
: closer if not
|
2:21 |
: the Hutch trade was weird
|
2:21 |
: I liked Reese but Ramirez is a weird prospect
|
2:21 |
: I guess they’re betting on not needing a C for the length of Cervelli’s deal
|
2:22 |
: Trade Cody Allen for a lesser-but-entrenched closer like Estevez/Colome? Need saves, lost most of mine in the real life trades. Or does Allen still get plenty of save opps even with Miller in the picture? Situation seems cloudy.
|
2:22 |
: The future is…clouded
|
2:22 |
: Is Edwin Diaz immediately an upper tier closer? Try to sell Will Harris if I picked up Diaz as a replacement?
|
2:22 |
: yep, instant top 10
|
2:22 |
: Going back to the Allen question, I would consider him for Colome, not for Estevez
|
2:23 |
: ROS Bregman or Benintendi?
|
2:23 |
: I’ll jump ship to Benintendi
|
2:23 |
: only because I think Bregman’s going to get demoted once Gurriel is ready
|
2:23 |
: I traded Goldy for Harper in the middle of May. Make me feel better.
|
2:23 |
: I have a deal in principle for Goldy. It’s a weird one
|
2:24 |
: going to press accept when the chat is done
|
2:25 |
: I’m the rebuilding owner, and I’m sending $8 Mazara, VMart, Solarte, $15 Matz, and $22 Archer for $43 Goldy, $8 Bedrosian (assuming he gets CL job), and cuts.
|
2:25 |
: My roster is overloaded with $8 studs like Story, Lamb, Dahl, Benintendi, Bregman, Contreras, Profar ($8 is the minimum keeper price).
|
2:26 |
: I don’t know that any of that helps you feel better.
|
2:26 |
: Probably not, huh?
|
2:26 |
: Question about fantasy and real life: Does Miller assume the full-time closer role? He’s clearly the better pitcher but might he be more valuable as a high leverage 7/8th/multiple inning guy? How does Tito tend to handle these things?
|
2:26 |
: Sounds like they’ll be used situationally
|
2:26 |
: based on tito’s comments
|
2:26 |
: he tends to settle on a CL eventually
|
2:26 |
: Willson Contreras and Johnny Cueto for Nomar Mazara and Carlos Beltran redraft league 2 catcher league have Yasmani as my only catcher… Thoughts?
|
2:27 |
: keep Cueto
|
2:27 |
: I know, never drop a closer, but I can drop the ghost of Huston Street in 10-team, right?
|
2:27 |
: yea
|
2:27 |
: in a 10 team league, you should just about never own the bottom 5 or so closers
|
2:27 |
: Street, Cingrani, Johnson, etc
|
2:27 |
: Would you look to buy low on Salazar or is it too scary to be buying when he says his arm feels bad?
|
2:27 |
: Oh, it’s scary
|
2:28 |
: hope it’s just tendonitis, it’s probably more serious
|
2:28 |
: I give Altuve, I get Scherzer, Roark and Pujols. Yea or nay? I’m in first but is this too good to pass up? Thanks
|
2:28 |
: Depends how in first you are and how much you need to defend your SP stats
|
2:28 |
: I’d hold the Altuve side without knowing more
|
2:28 |
: Hi Brad. I’m wondering about stashing Dilson Herrera in a deep keeper league. Aledmys Diaz has been fine as a MI and I have Correa at SS. Kinsler at 2B. He should find playing time next year, right?
|
2:29 |
: Look for something shinier than Herrera like Zimmer
|
2:29 |
: Herrera won’t outperform Diaz
|
2:29 |
: I’m currently running with a sizable closer crew of Robertson, Allen, Oh, Harris, Herrera and a freshly acquired Watson. Do I drop any of those guys for Diaz? Harris and Allen seem like big question marks right now, but seems too early to jump ship on either.
|
2:29 |
: Every one of them is droppable for Diaz, but Harris the guy to dump
|
2:30 |
: happy orlando benintendi day
|
2:30 |
: Hi Brad,
|
2:30 |
: I’m skipping to the present since we’re getting toward the end of this thing
|
2:30 |
: Never won anything in my AL only league for 8 yrs until I traded for Trout just before 2012 season. Now I have 4 championships in a row. Makes me wonder if there is any cross fantasy league stat kept for frequency of championship titles with player X on the roster. Are you aware of anything like this?
|
2:31 |
: We can do something like this on ottoneu
|
2:31 |
: At the one-third point something like 20% of winning rosters owned Kershaw
|
2:31 |
: Sean Manaea is the Raisel Iglesias of 2016 ?
|
2:31 |
: maybe, let’s remember to remind people that Iglesias was meh this year
|
2:31 |
: Robbie ray has had an incredibly consistent increase in K% since his debut in 2014. His walks are coming down too.
|
2:32 |
: I keep waiting for everything to click
|
2:32 |
: maybe next year, encouraging growth this year
|
2:32 |
: might be the poor man’s Michael Wacha
|
2:32 |
: Team has holes on offense – Give up Beltran for Werth/Bregman/Solarte?
|
2:32 |
: Yea, I’d go Solarte for the flex
|
2:32 |
: then find more reinforcements elsewhere
|
2:32 |
: Dynasty trade, Dee Gordon and Giolito for Robbie Cano… Too much?
|
2:33 |
: eh, I think that’s fine if you’re in the running now
|
2:33 |
: hard to get a read on Gordon’s future
|
2:33 |
: Brad, thanks for Chatting. In a 16 team keep 15 league. I was offered Moncada and Mazara (5 years each) for my Rizzo (5 years also) catch is getting mondaca locks me out of next years minor league draft as i would have 3 minors guys Happ/Moncada/AJ Reed (can be protected minor as long as he’s below 250 PA in majors) Should i summersault to hit accept? or no?
|
2:34 |
: I…
|
2:34 |
: uh…
|
2:34 |
: so here’s my take
|
2:34 |
: if you’re in a contending mode, just keep Rizzo
|
2:34 |
: he’s so good
|
2:34 |
: you’ll maybe regret not making the deal, but you’ll also keep contending
|
2:35 |
: if you really have no hope of contending, then go for the youngster
|
2:35 |
: oh, and try to upgrade reed
|
2:35 |
: Phillies not selling high on Gomez is baffling and it didn’t help me score a closer either….
|
2:35 |
: selling high requires someone to buy high
|
2:35 |
: think that was really out there?
|
2:35 |
: Look at what the Rangers dealt for Lucroy/Jeffress
|
2:35 |
: Gomez is just a poor man’s Jeffress
|
2:35 |
: i.e. worth way less
|
2:36 |
: How easy is it to fix a SP mechanical issue (depending what it is of course) such as the ones that Dillon Tate has? Obviously his value has dropped enough that he was available for a rental aging DH/OF, but how do the Yankees fix him?
|
2:36 |
: trial and error generally
|
2:36 |
: good luck
|
2:36 |
: robbie ray callback
|
2:37 |
: Price or Duffy RoS?
|
2:37 |
: heh, I’ll still go Price, but it’s awfully tempting to bet against the large sample
|
2:37 |
: thoughts on berrios (12 team 5×5 league).
|
2:37 |
: not enough command yet
|
2:37 |
: If not Arcia, does Profar develop into a Lindor 2.0?
|
2:37 |
: No, Profar doesn’t have the speed
|
2:37 |
: or the power really
|
2:38 |
: my matz & thornburg for his edwin diaz & matt moore?
|
2:38 |
: sure, smells fine
|
2:38 |
: If/when Norris is traded, and Hedges is called up, do I ditch Gattis for him? Especially with Gurriel coming
|
2:38 |
: I don’t think so
|
2:38 |
: so Hedges is 17 days from a service year
|
2:39 |
: Padres can “earn” an extra season of his services by shafting him on a call up
|
2:39 |
: Wainwright or Shoemaker today?
|
2:39 |
: reminds me, I have to build lineups for today
|
2:39 |
: gimme Shoe
|
2:39 |
: Bedrosian ($3), Diaz ($3), Britton ($23) and A Miller ($18). Gotta keep two and trade two, AL Dynasty.
|
2:40 |
: Trade Bedrosian and Miller. Or just shop them all for the best scenario overall
|
2:40 |
: Steaming my CI slot in 10-team – who you like for this week?: Gyorko, Yang Solarte, Brandon Moss, or Mark Reynolds (Coors tilt).
|
2:40 |
: Solarte or Gyorko
|
2:40 |
: Is it a bad strategy in a 40 man roster fantasy dynasty to have a set of main position starters and load up the bench with prospects? Seems to be working for me so far.
|
2:40 |
: No, as long as you can convert prospects to depth relatively easily
|
2:41 |
: it’s how Chad and I run our shared dynasty team
|
2:41 |
: estevez, thornburg, kintzler right order?
|
2:41 |
: gimme Thorn first
|
2:41 |
: eugenio suarez for mchugh? fair and boring?
|
2:41 |
: yea probably
|
2:41 |
: dahl, benitendi, or lorenzo cain (keep 2).
|
2:41 |
: Definitely Dahl
|
2:41 |
: let’s watch benintendi and decide later
|
2:41 |
: Is Michael Wacha for rich men? Seems like since the tail end of last year he has been Meh at best
|
2:42 |
: well, yea. But I bet a draft today has Wacha for $8 and Ray for $3
|
2:42 |
: does dahl project as a top-100 fantasy player next year? flipped him to the only taker in a keep-8 for fowler to protect a 15-pt first place roto lead. (in case you guessed, i’m skeptical of prospects to the point i probably grossly under value them.)
|
2:42 |
: If Dahl is starting, he projects to be a fantasy monster
|
2:43 |
: 15-20+ HR, 15-20+ SB, oodles of run production
|
2:43 |
: too many strikeouts, but as Story has shown us, you can be a top 15 player with too many K if your home is Coors
|
2:43 |
: is Altherr worth a hold in dynasty formats? think he can be like a dexter fowler clone?
|
2:43 |
: yea he’s worth a hold
|
2:43 |
: keep an open mind RoS
|
2:43 |
: Kazmir, Garcia, Santana, Bradley – all holds or streamers in league with 100 SP owned?
|
2:44 |
: Somewhere between Garcia and Santana is the line
|
2:44 |
: Dynasty Trade: Puig and Ventura for Pineda? Bad trade? I am tired of waiting on Ventura.
|
2:44 |
: Blech
|
2:44 |
: the deal itself is ok, it’s just all gross people
|
2:44 |
: Drop Jeffress for Diaz?
|
2:44 |
: immediately
|
2:44 |
: see you next week
|
2:45 |
: Maeda for JBJ? 12 team 5×5 OBP league. Need hitting have pitching
|
2:45 |
: yes, Maeda is only fine
|
2:45 |
: Who would you take in a dynasty? Moncada or Benintandi?
|
2:45 |
: Moncada
|
2:45 |
: A man can dream
|
2:45 |
: this is in response to something
|
2:45 |
: have three closers in 2 closer/RP league: Betances, Briton, Watson. Which two gets more saves ROS? what should I do with the third?
|
2:46 |
: Shop Watson
|
2:46 |
: Or…shop Betances for a big upgrade elsewhere
|
2:46 |
: What you expect from Hunter Pence post-hamstring injury considering he is no longer Mr. Reliable?
|
2:46 |
: Matt Moore ($5) for Hunter Pence ($17) – 14 team, 10 keeper, 5×5 , $5 annual escalator, $300 budget… Pence will replace Abreu ($35) at Util for now, and Pence better possible keeper than Moore?
|
2:46 |
: Obviously we need to see Pence play some, but I’m cautiously optimistic he’ll be fine
|
2:47 |
: I wouldn’t look to keep any of those players
|
2:47 |
: How “in” are you on Adam Duvall? I know he’ll probably not hit better than .250, but he’s putting up counting stats and the power has remained there.
|
2:47 |
: I’ve been saying all along, Evan Gattis clone
|
2:47 |
: not sure where that puts me on in-ness
|
2:47 |
: What’s your read on Devin Mesoraco? Still worth rostering for dynasty leaguers?
|
2:47 |
: depends on the depth
|
2:47 |
: not in our 45-player, 20-team, 1 C league
|
2:48 |
: if you roster more than 20 active catchers, than probably worth the gamble
|
2:48 |
: My friend curses every player he touches in fantasy baseball. His players all end up getting hurt. He just traded for Rizzo in a fair trade. As a Cub fan, is this vetoable?
|
2:48 |
: seems reasonable
|
2:48 |
: Guten tag. Who is the better own in AL-only dynasty: Dyson or Jeffress?
|
2:48 |
: Dyson
|
2:48 |
: Jeffress is a middle reliever posing as a closer
|
2:48 |
: Would you package Sano and Will Harris for a Longoria or Kyle Seager in a 12 teamer?
|
2:48 |
: yes
|
2:49 |
: redraft, right?
|
2:49 |
: Should I drop Harris for Giles?
|
2:49 |
: risky
|
2:49 |
: as some would say, it’s a bold strategy cotton
|
2:49 |
: What kind of 1B could pairing DJ Lemahieu with Jurickson Profar get me in a 16 team?
|
2:50 |
: Nobody pays fair value for LeMahieu. I’m not sure it’s worth trying
|
2:50 |
: Should be pretty high up there. At least Freeman. More like Miggy
|
2:51 |
: ok time to wrap it up
|
2:51 |
: In case I got missed in the time-skip: Need to drop one of Rodon, Paxton, Jon Gray or Robbie Ray. Who do you pick? Ray is sporting the worst rates, but those Ks are insane.
|
2:52 |
: I wouldn’t fuss over it too much. Look at upcoming matchups and decide based on those
|
2:52 |
: Are you worried about Dahl losing time to Parra once he comes back from the DL? Rox have a lot of $$ invested in Parra
|
2:52 |
: Seems like a good time to stop playing Mark Reynolds at 1B
|
2:52 |
: not sure who would move to the infield though…
|
2:52 |
: Thanks for the chat! I’m in a 10 team 5×5 NL only league. Still contending but have both shaky SP and OF. Among the post-deadline new NL players who’s a safer bet to help ROS: Matt Moore or Josh Reddick?? Apples and Oranges maybe, just looking for some perspective.
|
2:53 |
: Reddick
|
2:53 |
: with no Rockies OF trades, how Rockies will make room to Dahl for next year? Offseason trade? potentially Gerardo Parra?
|
2:53 |
: why not use Parra as the 4th outfielder
|
2:53 |
: he’s paid like a 3.5 OFer
|
2:53 |
: Dynasty Std Roto-Who would rather have: Joe Ross or Joe Musgrove?
|
2:53 |
: Ross
|
2:53 |
: close to a push
|
2:53 |
: Rank ROS Jeffress, Madson, Herrera, and E. Diaz
|
2:53 |
: Diaz, Herrera, Madson, Jeffress
|
2:54 |
: Thoughts on Matt Moore now that he’s in SF? Easier league/division for him?
|
2:54 |
: yea it’ll be more forgiving, but his performances vary more based on himself than his opponent
|
2:54 |
: ok rapid fire time
|
2:54 |
: Dietrich is Ripped. Add in a 10 NLer?
|
2:54 |
: yea
|
2:54 |
: Do you think Moncada gets called up this year then? Can only get one
|
2:54 |
: no
|
2:54 |
: profar or peraza ROS and 2017?
|
2:54 |
: profar
|
2:54 |
: Would you start Benintendi over Naquin? The latter has been doing pretty well for me.
|
2:54 |
: probably
|
2:55 |
: Matt Moore or Junior Guerra ROS?
|
2:55 |
: guerra
