Otherwise Rocco is getting a billion questions answered

Our 5x5 leagues is moving from BA as one hitting category to OPS.   What are some of the adjustments in thinking I should start making to ace my draft?
Brad Johnson
4:14
The main thing is with power and speed
The Joey Gallos gain a category
The Dee Gordons lose a category
4:15
Most of the less extreme players don't see much change in their value
you could probably jury rig together a spreadsheet to highlight which other players benefit a lot (like Khris Davis)

just saw your tweet about how slow this is but so many questions I'd ask are just annoying league-specific ones
Brad Johnson
4:16
Feel free to respond to others questions then, I'd like to get some give and take going but y'all are conditioned to ask a question then wait patiently

I am probably out of the running in my league for the next year at least, after trading away draft picks this year trying to three-peat.

My league has 5 free keepers and lets us keep 3 minors guys indefinitely until you bring them up--they are basically extra keepers. So e.g. I have Acuña in a minors slot and he doesn't count as one of the five "real" keepers.  I also have Wander Franco. Is it crazy to trade Betts for Soto--who is also still in his minors slot? Then try to promote those three (Soto, Acuña, Franco) within a year of each other.

I think you're overthinking it. And how big is your league?
If we're talking a relatively vanilla 12-team format, you can compete with Betts, Acuna, and nothing else

Were you surprised by Atros trouncing of the Indians? I knew they were good but I didn't think they were that much better than Cleveland.
Brad Johnson
4:18
I think it was a pretty even matchup that completely fell apart with the Cleveland bullpen

FYI Utley has accumulated 63.2 WAR. Trout 64.7.
Brad Johnson
4:18
I mean, Mike Trout is an active Hall of Famer already

10-team league. The minors aspect is really entertaining as we all overvalue the minors guys we spotted to the point where I don't know that Betts for Soto would be accepted.
Brad Johnson
4:19
Oh geez, do not give up on 2019. You should have no problem contending with Betts, Acuna, and whatever you can scrape off the waiver wire

Other than Vladito, who are the prospects I should have on my radar in redraft or keep-few leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Eloy
Senzel has some rebound potential if you already have him
4:20
I'm wary of paying for a head injury though
Wander Franco if you're willing to be patient for a few years
Alex Kirilloff looked interesting, Royce Lewis. I haven't dug into it for non-deep dynasty yet.

Is max muncy a true talent 140 wrc+?
Brad Johnson
4:21
I wouldn't go that far
He's good though

Believe it or not Omar Narvaez had the 5th best wOBA among C in 2018 and has a career .366 obp!  Do you see him as the CWS' primary starter next year and top-10 C in OBP leagues possible?
Brad Johnson
4:22
Not really. I don't think you can count on more than 100 games.
I mean, I guess that puts him near the fringes of the top 10.
I don't think you should go out of your way to pay for him. Nothing wrong with last picking him

Do you forgive bryant for a bad 2018 and view him as a first rounder again after the offseason, or do you worry the shoulder will linger?
Brad Johnson
4:23
I'm basically projecting the same in 2019 as I projected for 2018
But here's the kicker, those aren't first round numbers anymore
Too many guys broke way the fuck out
4:24
We don't have to worry too much right now, but I suspect a 4th round valuation would be on target

Most chatters don't let chattees do stuff. There was one time ~five years ago, with a different chat client, when some people were allowed to post without moderation. That happened once and I'm pretty sure it was forcefully kiboshed behind the scenes.
Brad Johnson

The issue is usually that too many comments come flying in
During the season, I'm answering questions from 4:00 for 45 minutes
4:25
then I skip from 4:01 to 4:45 to finish out the chat
