btw, no matter what anybody says, the comp is not Francisco Lindor.
That's paywalled. I put forth his actual comp
100% confidence

I think I just love fantasy baseball too much. This time of the year where everyone chills out until the post season is over drives me nuts.
Brad Johnson
5:05
While I'm the topic of shameless self promotion, if y'all help me add more patrons, I'll be starting up monthly unique fantasy games with $50 cash money prizes
5:06
I'm really hoping we can get some buzz buzzing and get this off the ground by December

Do we have an answer to why Jose Ramirez had such a low BABIP? It seems too low to just be bad luck, especially for a hitter so elite.
Brad Johnson
5:07
Yes! This is another article I wrote on my Patreon. Will take me a moment to find it, it's buried
ok, bear with me, google is not cooperating. Gonna have to do this manually

Here we go

Basically, BABIP regression for Ramirez should be expected to include fewer HR

You're a big Charlie Morton guy. I just won my Dynasty League and he was on the staff as my #4. Now has got to be the time to cash him in for some younger talent, right?
Brad Johnson
5:10
Yes, if you even can. Might be riding him into the ground due to the retirement rumors

Will Miguel Sano be a sleeper next year?
Brad Johnson
5:10
Not if he's jailed for running over a cop
Seriously, he ran over a cop
Sounds like he'll get away with just paying restitution

In a H2H, we've avoiding QS/W by going with IP, with some streaming coming as a result. Most of the league finds streaming distasteful - thoughts on rule changes to discourage the practice?
Brad Johnson
5:12
Sounds like a good topic for me to explore later. I need to go through this chat and note all the topics I said I'd cover
But in short, yes, there are ways to discourage streaming without being too restrictive
5:13
The best is to simply offset IP with stats like ERA and WHIP
Most rate stats inherently disfavor streaming
Streaming hasn't been a clever play in at least half a decade, I see more people lose with it than win (me included, see my home league)
Seriously, check out what happened when I streamed in the last week
Open up and say "Aardsma"
5:14
Keep or sell David Price for $20 in 12-team only (standard 5 x 5)?
Brad Johnson
5:14
That's a sell or cut to me
Because I doubt you get anything back
5:15
Unless somebody is disgusted with Joey Votto or something and you're willing to bet on a bounce
Reardon

Going back to Wander Franco, what's his path to playing time? Does he get slowed way down being a Ray?
Brad Johnson
5:15
Probably
The Rays are so deliberate

Is The Athletic sustainable?
Just Sa No
Brad Johnson
5:15
I think they might make it in some form
Here's what I expect to happen
5:16
They're absolutely right about the business model
