Brad Johnson Baseball Chat: 1/8/2019

January 8, 2019
We had a chat. It went well. Read about it below in the transcript.
| 3:52 |
: We’ll get started in a few minutes.
|
| 3:59 |
: 5×5 Ottoneu. Is Wily Peralta a keeper at $5?
|
| 3:59 |
: That’s an easy cut
|
| 3:59 |
: The saves aren’t worth the pain in other categories
|
| 3:59 |
: Good chance they find a better closer
|
| 4:00 |
: Of the next crop of SS – let’s say between AA and 2 yrs in MLB – who are the top 3 you would target to build a team around in a dynasty league? Who are a couple of prospect SS who are likely under the radar now, but might make that same list in 2-3 years? Thanks!

Below is the transcript to today’s chat.
| 3:50 |
: We’ll get started in a few minutes
|
| 3:58 |
: Ottoneu points-style dynasty league. What kind of trade value, in terms of prospects, do you think these Dodgers pitchers have: Maeda, Wood, Stripling?
|
| 3:58 |
: Maybe like a $2 Carter Kieboom
|
| 3:58 |
: There are basically 2 types of prospects in ottoneu – monsters like Vladito and guys who don’t matter
|
| 3:58 |
: Kieboom, if $2, is one of the few who lives in the space between.
|
| 3:59 |
: I don’t think you can get a premium prospect for any of those guys

We talked a lot about Andrew McCutchen and various Mets/Yankees/Marlins rumors. Then we talked about other topics. Here’s the transcript.
| 3:53 |
: We’ll get started in a few minutes
|
| 3:57 |
: Also, best baseball pun of the offseason is given the Mets track record, they’ll try to trade for Realmuto but end up with some fake muto.
|
| 4:00 |
: Any former MLB players who missed all of 2018 (due to injury or playing out of the country) that might surprise in 2019? (ala Miles Mikolas or Eric Thames a couple of years ago)
|
| 4:00 |
: I don’t see anybody notable on the radar, heard about a couple return attempts, but they weren’t Thames/Mikolas caliber players
|
| 4:00 |
: Or even Colby Lewis
|
| 4:01 |
: I’m browsing 2017 leaderboards for guys who disappeared in 2018. Corey Seager and Dinelson Lamet spring to mind, although that’s probably not what you meant.

Here is today’s chat transcript which coincided with the big Pat Corbin news.
| 3:13 |
: Hey folks, sorry about the delay. I guess some part of me knew a simple doctor appointment would take 2 hours
|
| 3:14 |
: We’ll get started in a moment.
|
| 3:17 |
: Alright, let’s do this
|
| 3:17 |
: How many prospects is too many for an ottoneu team attempting to contend?
|
| 3:17 |
: As is often the case, it really depends on context. I often operate with no more than 1-3.
|
| 3:18 |
: I mostly acquire mine over the offseason for players I can no longer afford to keep. I’ll also try to scrounge whatever $1 guys get left over in the draft. I got Acuna and Soto this way, but that was pure luck.

Here’s today’s chat transcript. Thanks for playing.
| 4:01 |
: Good afternoon folks. Sporer says y’all are busy voting, but maybe that’s not true. Who wants a baseball break?
|
| 4:02 |
: Dee Gordon in Ottoneu league, I have at $4. Not that I’m hopeful he turns it around, but thats a keep right?
|
| 4:02 |
: I don’t think you’re ruin your season by keeping Gordon, but I only considered him a $1 player BEFORE he was terrible last season.
|
| 4:02 |
: I’m assuming you’re talking about FGpts of course
|
| 4:03 |
: In 5×5, he’s still a reasonably decent asset
|
| 4:03 |
: By the way, I’m expecting maybe 10 or 15 of you to show up so feel free to give some back and forth, reactions to my comments, etc.

Here is today’s chat transcript which started a little catcher heavy before moving on to other topics.
| 3:52 |
: We’ll get started in a bit. Until then, a little self-promotion.
|
| 3:55 |
: I’m doing custom fantasy games for my patrons this offseason. Future contests will have a prize of $50. This month’s contest is a simple Qualifying Offer Game with a $10 prize. There’s currently only a few entrees so a new $1/mo patron has a really decent chance to come out ahead.
|
| 3:55 |
: I also announced the first patron fantasy league, a 20 team dynasty that will begin slow drafting in December. Details are still up for discussion.
|
| 3:56 |
: On a completely different note, I began a free agent analysis series with a look at catchers.

Here is today’s chat transcript:
| 3:58 |
: Ahoy there. We’ll get started in a few minutes.
|
| 4:01 |
: I need a 3B (real life, not fantasy) and I’d prefer it if he was good. Who can flip me a third baseman for a catcher, or a corner outfielder, or a ton of pitching prospects?
|
| 4:01 |
: All things equal and from a fantasy perspective, who’s the odd man out between Renfroe, Reyes and Cordero?
|
| 4:01 |
: Is Wil Myers ever going to break out? I think I might’ve asked this for four straight years but here I am again.
|
| 4:01 |
: What’s the earliest round you’d take Tatis and just stash him till he gets called up?
|
| 4:01 |
: I am wise to your ways Padres fan!

Here’s today’s chat transcript which turned out to be very ottoneu heavy. Fitting since arbitration started yesterday.
| 3:47 |
: We’ll get started in 10 minutes or so. Try not to spam the queue. I’d like to have a little back and forth which is more easily achieved with fewer questions and more responses to those questions.
|
| 3:48 |
: In other words, just ask one or two questions at a time.
|
| 3:57 |
: What do you think J Aguilar does next year? Also, have him for $1 in 12 team NL only 4×4 weekly league, should I be looking to trade him for something maybe more “stable” or keep him?
|
| 3:58 |
: Well, I think you approach this in two ways. 1. You definitely plan to keep Aguilar for $1. 2. There’s nothing wrong with seeing if somebody else will buy high on his power.
|
| 3:59 |
: T. Turner (NR), JoRam (3), JDM (4), Benintendi (NR)
|
| 3:59 |
: So Benintendi costs no pick?
