Without more info, yes.

Keep Schoop in otto FG points at $13?
Brad Johnson
4:30
No
Run
Bob

When are the ATC projections coming out?
Brad Johnson
4:31
That's Ariel Cohen's system so he would know better than me. I think I saw he finalized them yesterday. Should be up later this week in that case.
What's the Frequency Kenneth
4:31
Do you think Ken Giles holds the Blue Jays closer job this year?
Brad Johnson
4:31
That's up to him
If he doesn't hold it, you'll already be very sad with his performance

If someone put a gun to your head and forced you to bet on which of the current fantasy aces (e.g. Scherzer, Verlander, Kluber, etc) would sustain their success the most long term, who would you choose?
Brad Johnson
4:32
By age, I'd say Verlander (he already has a head start)
4:33
By years... I'll go Chris Sale (he's relatively young)
Aaron Nola's another good bet
Speed vs. Speed
4:33
AL OBP: Mondesi or Mallex?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Mondesi
Mallex is higher floor, but there's risk of a bust there too
Siri
4:33
Just looked at the rays prospect list. Damn.
Brad Johnson
4:33
Indeed. They have some prospects.
Who can you trust
4:33
Which end of your breakout do you believe more: Mondesi or Voit? (if it matters, this is an AL-only OBP league owner asking)
Brad Johnson
4:34
I think Voit is a legit 1B. They'll obviously both regress.
Mondesi is believable enough too
no OBP, low AVG, and enough HR/SB that you won't care
The profile is Billy Hamilton with power
Alex
4:35
Do you like Mondesi or Hoskins over the next 5 years?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Oof. I think the safe money is Hoskins.
But Mondesi can make that look VERY bad
4:36
Put another way, Hoskins is a high floor, high ceiling guy. Mondesi is almost a no floor, top 3 pick ceiling.
Canned Peanuts
4:36
Our 12-team dynasty league recently had a six-team trade. Ever see anything like that?
Brad Johnson
4:36
No. I've seen over 20 players moved in a 2-team trade
Zach Wheeler
4:36
Do I have top 15 fantasy SP potential this year?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Fringe
4:37
The top pitchers are still quite good.
Cutch is my Crutch
4:37
I’m rebuilding in an 18 team root dynasty league. We only have 27 roster slots. As a general rule, does it make sense to build hitting first before pitching?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Definitely. It's just a much more reliable route to value.
4:38
Based on their own preferences, your leaguemates will decide if you should diversify with pitchers and hitters or only go with hitters.
Steak
4:38
Miggy’s Steamer projections: A) he’ll come up short B) he’ll meet them C) he’ll out perform them
Brad Johnson
4:38
I'd bet slightly short
Carl
4:38
Where do you have Strasburg
Brad Johnson
4:39
Pretty high. I don't do rankings anymore as they're just not helpful for any of the leagues I do.
Slurve

Have you ever went into a draft convinced to not draft a certain player, then drafting him, then immediately regretting it only for the player to have a great year in spite of your efforts to trade him all year?  If so, who was it?
