And I think as players age, they probably benefit more from knowing when they'll be called upon
That's my personal hypothesis. Untested
Sox not Saux
4:35
What do you make of these Senzel to the OF rumors?  If he loses infield eligibility, that hurts him quite a bit (at least in my league).
Brad Johnson
4:35
On the one hand, yes, he kinda has to go to the OF if he's going to be a Red
Suarez ain't moving at this point. Nor should Peraza. And Gennett might go via FA, but that means at least half a season waiting for a trade
4:36
And Gennett might stay too.
So... it makes sense for him to try

In a 5x5 Roto Keep Forever League, who do you like the most for the forseeable future: Jose Ramirez or Bregman?
Brad Johnson
4:36
John Jaso Jingleheimerschmidt
You can't go wrong, but you should pick Ramirez first in 2019.
4:37
By maybe a handful of spots
One of these seasons, Bregman isn't going to stumble out of the gate
And he'll push for MVP

What are some of the best minor league stadiums to go to (talking overall fun experience).
Brad Johnson
4:37
Can't say I've been to many. Durham is great though
Steve

You've mentioned some trade strategy stuff previously, like asking for a guy you're not totally interested in only to indirectly get your actual target into a deal. Any other effective tricks?
Brad Johnson
4:37
That's literally 40% of my offseason content.
4:38
Stay tuned

Not a question, but don’t forget QS as well. Viable option? I think not!
Brad Johnson
4:38
I will be writing a fervent post about ditching your QS leagues while you have the chance
4:39
It's time to move back to Ws until we come up with a better stat
Something like a "quality outing" which includes pitching five innings of 3.50 or better ERA.
4:40
We can bicker over the standards. What we need is to uncouple the QS from the actual "start" concept. Otherwise, it's super broken
It was already broken before Openers started happening
4:41
Only like 20 or 25 starters posted notable QS totals. In a 12 team league, that's like 2 QS-able pitchers per team.
Ws at least include some gamesmanship with relievers
And Ryan Yarbrough
Planet Dust
4:41
I'll be looking for the QS vs Ws post as that's my candidate for my league's big offseason fight this year.
Pat's Bat
4:41
I've always thought Quality Starts was a silly fantasy stat.  Now with fewer and fewer pitchers lasting 6 innings, does QS have a future in fantasy?  Do we trend back to wins or is there something else that could replace both?

How many prospects do you like to roster in deep dynasty, 20 team league with 35 roster spots, during competitive seasons? I’ve been struggling to maintain the right balance of focusing every roster spot on winning while maintaining some prospect capital for the future/roster upgrades
Brad Johnson
4:42
Oh it's a challenge. I literally used all of mine this season in 20 team, 45 roster
I have Lolo Sanchez and 44 MLBers
Oh, actually I cut Lolo in the last week for Nick Martini
I have no prospects left!
4:43
It's ok, I have a dope roster of MLBers. I just can't make any more trades to non-contenders :(
hscer
4:43
Will Baltimore "ever again" have a playable pitcher in standard leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:43
Magic 8 ball says "fuck no"
JS
4:43
Give some hope to a Twins fan. Other than a bad division, what do they have going for them?
Brad Johnson
4:44
A lot of talent
So much talent
