They could easily win the division next season
Remember, basically EVERYTHING went wrong

All else equal, who do you want for the next 3 years in OBP, SLG, SBN league...Bregman (SS/#B this year, presume 3B next 2) or Giancarlo?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Bregman
EZ
Queens
4:44
What do you make of Jeff McNeil going forward? Any chance of becoming Daniel Murphy?
Brad Johnson
4:45
I know that's a convenient comparison, but I don't think that's the transformation he needs
His GB/FB distribution is fine as is
What he needs to do is make more authoritative contact
I'm hopeful, but I'm not holding my breath
I wish he were a Red
4:46
or a Rockie
Jeff McNeil the Rockie is the soggiest dream of all

by the way how the hell did we only use Yarbrough for like 10 innings this year in a W league
Brad Johnson
4:46
Because I really undermanaged the hell out of my team
And y'all follow my lead when it comes to trendy trends
4:47
In all seriousness, I never had a handle on when the Rays were going to use which Follower
Pinkish

Think Tyler white has done enough to get himself in the Astros (or someone else’s) lineup next year?
Brad Johnson
4:47
Absolutely. He's going to start barring something unforeseeable
And he's right-handed Nimmo/Muncy
Turns out it's a common profile all of a sudden

Damn I thought that QS question was a good one
Brad Johnson
4:48
Twas, but you got beat to it
Planet Dust

The trouble we had with Wins (well one of them) was the extra value to the great-rate-stat relievers, non-closers.
Brad Johnson
4:48
Is that a problem?
4:49
I've been hyping those guys with back when Mike Adams and Sergio Romo were the studliest non-closers in the world
Shocking the Romo, Luke Gregerson, and David Robertson are still around
Used to be like 5 non-closers worth owning, and those were 3 of them
FAAB Four
4:49
Keep Jaime Barria for $4 in deep AL standard 5 x 5 keeper league?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Yea, probably
Shane
4:49
What site's park factors do you use? Are there reliable PFs for handedness?
Brad Johnson
4:50
Check out FanGraphs Guts! (google it, I'm lazy)

What about saves and steals as categories?  They have much greater importance in fantasy than real baseball. Is there a solution to chasing mediocre one category saves and steals guys halfway through the season?  That's always been my least favorite part of 5x5.  Maybe more categories?
Brad Johnson
4:50
It sounds like what you want is a points league
There is a strong philosophical reason to have diverse stats tracked for 5x5 roto
4:51
the less the categories correlate, the more important your personal management decisions become
There's no point having a 5x5 league that accurately tracks a player's real world value
Incidentally, that's why I love batting average for fantasy but don't even look at it for real world discussions

Where would you draft Acuña and Vlad in a brand new dynsasty league?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Trout, Betts, Acuna, Soto, Vlad, Bregman, Ramirez are the top 7 in some combination. I am unsure specifically.
