Are we giving up on Contreras this year or is now the time to buy expecting a bounceback? He was the #2 catcher off the board last year and was replaceable and catcher is a semi replaceable position so better to just not draft it high and hopef or the best?
Brad Johnson
4:40
Not giving up. Buy low. Hope for life.
4:41
I generally try to find whatever catcher used to be good and sucked the previous year
It's a winning strategy
I think. I seem to win with it.

When you say early SP, do you mean the elite 4 or 5 pitchers?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Yes
Rounds 2-4
4:42
Still can't stomach a round 1 pick unless I'm picking like 11 in a 12 team draft
And I don't have any SP in my top 15 this year

Is Roberts crazy enough to platoon Muncy like he did much of the WS even though his splits are fairly equal?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Sigh. Yes, I think so.
I'm hoping it doesn't happen because it's STOOOPID
Matt

After Whitley, any draftable pitchers who won't start the season in the majors?
Brad Johnson
4:43
Luzardo
Honeywell? Kinda depends on league depth
I wouldn't draft ANY minor leaguers in 10 team
In 12 team, maybe just Whitley and Luzardo
Deeper and the field opens up
Matt
4:43
SO I know it's the offseason, but is there any consideration given to you and Justin spreading out your chat days?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Talk to Justin, I had first dibs on Tuesday :)

In Ottoneu would you be keeping a $5 Tyler O'Neill and $3 Luis Urias if you already roster similarly priced Peter Alonso, Tatis, Senzel, Wander Franco, and Kyle Tucker?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Might keep Urias. O'Neill is out for me.
Dan

What's the biggest mistake you made in fantasy last year?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Did you miss my article about my worst trades? I dealt Betts for Altuve in dynasty.
Kat
4:45
Traded albies for walker buehler. I say that as a albies fan (12 team)
Brad Johnson
4:45
Great swap. Buehler is a much better talent at this time.

Ottoneu 5x5 league - pitching needs help, 13$ Robles, 9$ Tatis Jr, 10$ Senzel . What type of return should I be looking for ?  SP and RP are both needs
Brad Johnson
4:46
Have you tried letting your rivals shape the talks? Pop them on the block, say you need pitching, and see who bites.
4:47
In general, I avoid committing resources to RP. They can be found cheaply if you're diligent about scouring the wire.
Dan
4:47
What should we NOT be paying attention to before opening day?  What are the red herrings out there in the off-season that get players mis-valued?
Brad Johnson
4:47
Players being blocked is the #1
4:48
If they're going to post fantasy relevant numbers, chances are they'll be starting before long
Some Vladito-scenarios notwithstanding
Ken Giles Right Hook
4:48
The most fun mystery team that Manny Machado could sign with?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Hmm... the Twins would be a great one. Push Polanco to 2B and either cut Schoop or swallow the cost. (arb salaries are mostly non-guaranteed until the start of the season)
Jake

Where do you rank or put Ross Stripling? Big breakout in 2018 but Dodgers rotation circus, sustainability, and possibly innings pitched issues. I have him as a $3 keeper in a keep 7
Brad Johnson
4:50
I wrote about Stripling not too long ago. I kind of doubt he's a top 7 keeper for you though.
Kyle
4:50
RE my question earlier regarding the final keeper. Yes, I do have 9 stud keepers and a lot of power. I just have this feeling on Dahl that might make me choose him Gallo and Mondesi. His projections are crazy
