Tom AND Jerry
4:48
Schwarber or Polanco in dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:48
I'll take Schwarber. Reluctantly.
And I kind of want to be an ass and say Jorge Polanco
I know you meant Gregory.
Closers
4:48
Osuna didn't have a great year last year, do you still consider him a top closer in baseball?
Brad Johnson
4:48
Yea, he's top 8 for sure
KilleBrews
4:49
Steamer projects Wilmer Flores with a 113 wRC+. Are you buying this?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Depends where he lands. CitiField is a hellish on hitters
And I know wRC+ is context neutral in terms of results, but it still includes some ancillary park effects
Slurve
4:50
Is the answer to most keeper questions related to draft round or cost generally already answered if the rounds/$$ in question are far apart?
Brad Johnson
4:50
Honestly, most of these sorts of questions are unanswerable because it depends on your resources
and I don't have that info, nor the time to digest it if you add those details
Kyle Tucker
4:50
What would your guess be on my triple slash this year? Does Brantley push me back to AAA?
Brad Johnson
4:50
I can't see you starting the year in the majors
Cardi B
4:51
Any EXTREME-risk players other than Adalberto Mondesi you see (or have a hunch) getting drafted too early in the first, say, 7 rounds?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Not that I'm aware of, but as I noted I try not to pay attention to that info for as long as I can
It only hinders my drafts
4:52
I understand rankings and ADP are a useful shortcut for most people. It's just not ideal for me.
Jim Leyland Palmer
4:52
What do you think Victor Robles does witha full year in 2019? Top 50 player?
Brad Johnson
4:52
It's very possible
4:53
hits for average, decent patience, runs, some power
That adds up to a fantasy star
But... rookies often struggle to adjust. Build some redundancy if you're counting on him for SB
As in draft him, then pretend he'll only supply 10 SB
Jose Altuve
4:54
Do you think Bregman or me has the better year overall?
Brad Johnson
4:54
I'll bet on Altuve
It's a good question.
Altuve or Bregman

Been awhile since I made a poll on here :)
Frank
4:54
Ian Happ in NL only...buy/sell/hold this off season?
Brad Johnson
4:55
I'd probably hold unless somebody is really coming at you
If you so much as say he's available (as I suspect you probably have) your rivals will smell blood and only offer scraps
Frank
4:55
Luis Castillo or Robbie Ray for 2019?
Brad Johnson
4:56
I'll take Ray. This is another good one though.
Castillo or Ray
Castillo (41.7% | 10 votes)
 
Ray (58.3% | 14 votes)

PuigSmash
4:56
Does Puig go 30/15/.270 in GAB this year?
Brad Johnson
4:56
Puig is not afflicted with "just enough" home runs
So GABP will help, but I wouldn't expect anything crazy just because of the park change
4:57
That said, he's a massively volatile player who could easily range from 15 to 45 HR
Benji
4:57
With similar costs, who would you rather have in a keep forever league: Bauer or Realmuto?
