Brad Johnson: Let’s get the queue rolling. We’ll start in a few minutes.

JC at the Bat: Hi Brad –  10 Team NL only auction.  Deciding between my last 2 keepers.  I am thinking either Strop / AJ Minter (theoretically could not have to bid on a closer) or L Castillo / Marquez (2 low floor, high ceiling lottery picks).  The Auction calculator say to go with the latter, and I hate wasting keeper spots on closers….but SAVES!  Any advice?
3:53
Brad Johnson: Definitely go for the SP
3:53
Brad Johnson: I think I still prefer Marquez by a small margin (was asked the same Castillo or Marquez in past weeks)
3:53
Brad Johnson: They’re both very talented pitchers with some ballpark and track record issues.

Brad Johnson Baseball Chat: 3-12-2019

March 12, 2019

Here is today’s chat transcript.

3:55
Brad Johnson: We’ll kick off in a few minutes
3:57
Ryan: 6×6 H2H (w/OPS) who do you like better, Colin Moran or Renato Nunez (it’s a deep league).
3:58
Brad Johnson: Moran is massively more talented. Nunez is not a major league player.
3:58
Brad Johnson: That said, there’s a rather unhindered opportunity for Nunez whereas Moran is on the way out in Pittsburgh. Ke’Bryan Hayes seems likely to take over 3B by mid-season and Kang is still around too.
3:58
Brad Johnson: Plus some utility guys
3:59
Brad Johnson: it’s a crowded infield

NL LABR Fantasy Chat

Schilling & Pence: Now that Zips projections are done, have the depth charts projections been updated?
7:59
Jeff Zimmerman: Let me look
8:00
Jeff Zimmerman: Not yet
8:00
Jeff Zimmerman: They probably will once ZiPs is added to the projection list
8:01
another bad dynasty manager: Hi Jeff: I’m in a 16 tm 12 kpr pts. league with a minimal deduction for Ks by batters (-.25).  I need to choose btw Laureano and C. Hernandez as my final keeper.  Hiura is on my prospect bench.  I traded away my first pick so I won’t be drafting until late in the second rd.  Thx for these Sun. night chats! (Other OFs that will be kprs: Hicks, Peralta, & Robles)
8:02
Jeff Zimmerman: I’d stick with Cesar. I see a bounce back after playing hurt for most of the 2018 season.

We chatted, it’s true. Alas, the chat is complete. You can read a transcript though.

4:01
Brad Johnson: Ok, we’ll get started in a few moments.
4:02
Vic: Would you keep Almora in the 27th round of a 15 team mixed 5 x 5?
4:03
Brad Johnson: If there is no other opportunity cost, I’d probably strongly consider locking in the young OFer. That’s right around his ADP in a redraft, but his age maybe makes him a bit more interesting in a keep-for-awhile setting
4:04
DynastyStarter: How much auction $ would you spend on guys like Vlad/Soto/Acuna if you could keep them at zero cost forever after the initial start up dynasty draft? Stars/scrubs seems like the logical approach to me…Get as many as possible and piece together from there?
4:04
Brad Johnson: I can’t say for certain without seeing all your settings, but my inclination is to go heavy for those guys
4:05
Yuca Yuca: In a 12-team keep forever (up to 7), do you hold onto Ohtani and Mondesi?

A transcript of today’s chat is available. We argued about the merits of rankings.

3:55
Brad Johnson: We’ll get this thing going in a few minutes. I got lost in the news of the day and forgot to put this post together.
3:56
Brad Johnson: If you didn’t vote in this morning’s poll, I’d appreciate the info. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/highly-custom-leagues-a-desirability-pol…
4:01
Big Apple: Do you buy into the Conforto breakout I’ve seen in numerous publications in 2019?
4:01
Brad Johnson: Wasn’t really a breakout. He was good. Then he played injured for half a season. Then he was good again. So I think he’s still a good player
4:02
Brad Johnson: You should expect more than his 2018 production but a little less than his second half production. That’s a very useful fantasy asset and better than his current ADP.
4:02
Reactionary: What does Padres infield look like now?  Does this delay Tatis?
