depends on your roster makeup

How much more value do closers have in 16-team format? Auction calculator gives them some ridiculous values (maybe 15% of budget)
Brad Johnson
4:00
You can tinker that. The aux calc does some wonky things with innings. Make sure it's not setting replacement level at a 880 IP per team rate or something
Wander Javier
4:00
Am I going to be better than Carlos Correa?
Brad Johnson
4:01
Way too early to say things like that
Mike Trout wasn't likely to be better than Mike Cameron when he was a prospect

Not sure if you skipped my question so I apologize for asking twice.  Do you prefer drafting 1 stud this year (Kershaw $630 or 2 semi studs (carlos Martinez and verlander for $73).   The difference would be spent on a GLOB pitcher like Morton, Santana, rodon, cobb, pomeranz).
Brad Johnson
4:02
I tend to prefer Kershaw, especially because it's hard to know if you'll actually get 2 second tier guys
you never know when leaguewide panic will make it impossible

Godley or Castillo in 2018 and beyond? Both are same cost...
Brad Johnson

Godley by miles
Time for me to wrap it up. I'll take a few more.

Villar's potential increase with all the Brew Crew's moves?
Brad Johnson
4:04
No. If anything, they're going to be less patient with him
Also, I really like Eric Sogard's plate approach
If he was an elite defender (he's definitely not), he'd be one of the best 2B in the league.

What happened to Justin Wilson?  Any chance he closes in CHC this year?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Not sure but no, almost no chance
Andrew

Which Dodgers catcher should I target?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Barnes
Though Grandal should be a steal now
Jay
4:05
Would I be crazy to make Trea Turner my most expensive position player?
Brad Johnson
4:05
No, he's a consensus top 5 draft pick
the steals

You expect Pham to keep up that many HRs (23) with such a low FB rate (26%)?
Brad Johnson
4:06
No
But he'll get close enough
Maybe a 16 to 20 projection
And he could adjust too. Look at his home/road splits. A lot more fly balls on the road.

Zack Cozart ... is he good?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Yes he is.
Goodbye everyone!
