Brad Johnson Baseball Chat: 2/12/2019
The chat is complete. Read the transcript below.
The Sunday night chats are back in business and I’ll begin answering questions at 8 CST Sunday night with the queue hopefully opening up one hour earlier. During the season, I’ll normally focus on FAAB and waiver wire questions but anything goes for now. -Jeff
The “Beat Jeff Zimmerman League” date has now been set for February 22th at 8:00 PM ET. It’s an NFBC 12-team, FAAB league with a $115,000 grand prize. Click here for more details.
8:01 |
: I’ll go ahead and get started. |
8:01 |
: Who is the better young catcher…Jansen or Mejia? Who would you prefer to have in a keep forever league? |
8:02 |
: This is close …. Mejia who I think as more upside. It’s catcher, so a replacement can be found if he flops. |
8:03 |
: Please rank for 2019-2023 total value: Peraza, Odor, Andersen, Mazara, Laureano, Hampson, Profar. |
8:03 |
: I need a ton more information like the league details to answer questions like this one. |
8:04 |
: Do you change anything about the way you calculate auction values in a H2H league as opposed to Roto? I figured using z-scores made more sense than SGP. |
We chatted about the usual range of keeper, dynasty, ottoneu, and redraft topics. Check out the transcript.
4:00 |
: We’ll get started in a few moments.
|
4:00 |
: I got hung up playing OOTP 19. It’s $4.99 on Steam today.
|
4:01 |
: Luis Garcia (WAS) or Nate Lowe in 12 team keep forever dynasty league?
|
4:01 |
: EZ Garcia
|
4:02 |
: Despite solid on field results, Lowe isn’t very highly regarded. I’ve yet to read a credible report that said “yep, this is definitely a MLBer”
|
4:02 |
: Garcia has potential to become a top 25 prospect. He might already be a top 25 dynasty prospect.

We chatted about keeper choices and keeper decisions and keeper strategies. And keepers. Ottoneu keepers too. Read about ’em in the transcript.
4:00 |
: Hello all. We’ll get started in a few moments.
|
4:01 |
: When will your dynasty ADP come out?
|
4:01 |
: I’m hoping to get a few more to add soon. Right now it’s basically just two leagues in the sample.
|
4:01 |
: So, I’m in a bit of a holding pattern. Might find time to whip a first run together over the weekend.
|
4:02 |
: Hello sir, 20 team dynasty 17th (last) spot goes too… F Peralta, M Boyd, W Calhoun, or L Voit? Trade Bait + Value next year
|
4:03 |
: I’m voting Voit. You’ll get your answer fairly quickly. Peralta and Calhoun could take years to actualize – if ever
|
We chatted about keepers, ottoneu roster design, and assorted players. Check out the transcript.
3:59 |
: Hey folks, we’ll get started in a few minutes.
|
4:00 |
: When drafting a startup dynasty and building for the future, would you fade pitchers completely to try and use auction $ on young hitting with the idea that you’ll compete in 2-3 years? Pitching seems so volatile that I feel like I can build via waivers/trades over the next few years…thanks!
|
4:00 |
: That is absolutely one of the main methods to building a roster.
|
4:01 | : This is my roster in DTBNL – |
4:01 |
: Which is my patron dynasty league, we just finished our 45-round draft last Wednesday
|
4:02 |
: For those who don’t want to click the link. I took 43 hitters and 2 pitchers

: Hi Bangers!
|
3:59 |
: We’ll get started in a couple minutes.
|
4:01 |
: Who gets more saves- Robertson or Seranthony?
|
4:01 |
: Robertson is a pretty safe bet
|
4:01 |
: Not a lock by any means, but it’s the percentage play
|

9:03 |
: Lots of cool stuff going on for me right now as well. New Sleeper and the bust should go up today, a bunch of pods at Friends with fantasy benefits and the new TGFBI pod dropped today in which you can hear how to win your way into the 2020 TGFBI |
9:03 |
: Why wouldn’t the Indians just trade Kluber for Senzel straight up? |
9:03 |
: Because elite starting pitching is more expensive than that. |
