Do the Houston Asterisks trade Correa this year?  Toro then is there full time 3b?
Brad Johnson
4:48
Hot take: Straw is better than Toro.
4:49
Also no, they don't trade Correa
New front office is going to afraid to make a bold play having inherited a perennial contender.
4:50
Actually, this seems like a Dave Dombrowski special
Sell the prospects and ride the wave until it crashes. Then start picking early first rounders again.

While we're on the COL topic, any concern for Blackmon in for 2020 or 2021? He's a keeper for me right now, but if Arenado goes you have to imagine he could be on his way at some point. The splits are eh
Brad Johnson
4:51
I don't think Blackmon is tradeable with that contract.
So you're probably safe in that regard. I'm not too concerned other than replacing Arenado with like Hampson in the lineup.
4:52
But if he bats cleanup, it might yet be a net gain.
Story's still around and Murphy might have a dead cat waiting to dribble
I just traded a 6th round pick (equivalent of the 34th round) in a 20-team dynasty for Murphy.
Thanks for the chat Brad
4:53
I hope Bellinger wins another MVP this year!
Brad Johnson
4:53
Good stuff

why am i so intrigued by Christian walker? is there anything there?
Brad Johnson
4:53
I don't know. There is a subset of people who are continuously intrigued.
I mean, I was there when he was a Quad-A guy who couldn't get an opportunity. He got his chance. It was really bland.
4:54
And Kevin Kron is so much more fascinating. They only have maybe a year to eval him before it's Beer Time.

4:54
are you higher on Bichette or Tatis for 2020?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Tatis for sure. But it's not like Bichette couldn't easily outperform him
Greg
4:54
Where do you see Eloy consistently in the overall ranks in the coming years? Is he top 10? 25? 50?
Brad Johnson
4:54
He's a fringe Top 50 guy
4:55
He's a young guy with a lot of weirdness lurking in his plate discipline and batted ball profiles so there's serious room for growth
4:56
But I think he'll just be sort of a Javy Baez type without the SBs
And like Baez, there's always that risk of crushing slumps.
Machadres
4:56
Do you think Cora gets the axe? Most of it happened before he arrived in Boston, and Houston had all the culture issues on top of the sign stealing
Brad Johnson
4:57
It's speculated that he might survive, but I do think he'll be fired.
Perhaps they're re-hire him later. Who can say?
Kegan
4:57
Would you trade 2 years of Berrios for 1 of Lindor?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Yup
Dr. Baller
4:57
Let's hear one very bold prediction
Brad Johnson
4:57
I need a moment
4:59
Cubs win the NL Central, Kimbrel leads MLB in saves. Bold enough?
Oh here's a good one - Jared Walsh is the best two-way player on the Angels.
Cron isnt any better than Walker
5:00
.
Brad Johnson
5:00
Maybe. But we know Walker is just a guy. Kron might be Pete Alonso.

I still don't think it ends up happening, but if Arenado gets traded away from Coors just how drastically does that affect his fantasy value?
Brad Johnson
5:01
Less than everybody thinks. Especially if he's going to a good team, which... why wouldn't he?
David

My keeper league is going to use your Auction Calculator for the first time this year to determine pricing on kept players from the previous year. Does the calculator undergo an overhaul at some point before reg season start, or is it already up to date other than small changes?
Brad Johnson
5:02
Bug fixes occur as needed. Otherwise what changes are the inputs (i.e. projections)
