I think we should be patient. (and no I don't have an answer)
ender's game
4:04
i think ender inciarte is undervalued. AVG seems to be getting hard to find, and dude steals bases and scores runs. i am jazzed to have him as a round 20 keeper for next year

Oh, going back to the W/QS question. Let's wait to see if bullpenning sticks around. It's a trendy theory, but it hasn't actually been proven to work yet
4:05
Might just be a good way to blow up some reliever arms

Ottoneu surplus value sheet is a useful tool but how do you explain Vogt at $5 value and Chirinos at $1? I would think it would be reversed based on last season.
Brad Johnson
4:05
That's going to be an issue of playing time projections (see caveats in the linked article)

Tried joining ottoneu slack community all last year and they never responded to any emails requesting access.
Brad Johnson
4:06
Weird. They're usually super responsive. Maybe they don't like you?
That's a joke. I'll ask Justin and Trey to hook you up
Anthony
4:06
You mention a guy like Robbie Ray (SP2?). Do you keep a guy like Ray over a sexy up and comer like Acuña or Torres?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Oh...
4:07
Ray should be kept
Acuna should be kept too though
you really have to cut one? That's a shame
luis castillo
4:07
so i have ohtani in a league--should i flip him for luis castillo, kind of assuming ohtani gets split into two players (a hitter and a pitcher), and that the pitcher gets somewhat less than a full workload?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Feels light
I do like Castillo, but I hate his surroundings
Should be getting a second player at least as good as Castillo
Sonny
4:07
5x5 OPS you have a preference keeping Ozuna or Marte? Only keeping one and have Goldy, B Zimmer, Story as decent SB guys
Brad Johnson
4:08
I'm kind of out on Marte right now
We'll see where his ADP winds up
Right now, I like Ozuna a LOT more

In leagues with an innings cap, I used a theory last year to target high K/9 guys thinking that I can dominate K’s. I ended up winning, but is there a downside to this strategy that I’m missing if I repeat it next year?
Brad Johnson
4:09
you have to hit your innings cap. That's it. I've been preaching K/9 since I started writing in 2008
4:10
It's a much more commonly practiced strategy now. So the high K/9 guys are overpriced by a few dollars.
Nate J

Otani or Acuna? Who should I take?
Brad Johnson
4:10
I can't even...
4:11
Actually, I think it's Acuna and not close
Comparable downsides in the next couple seasons
bigger ceiling on Acuna
4:12
Ohtani just offers that silly dual potential
Be prepared to be patient with either of them

How's it feel going full #TeamProspects in ottoneu this year? Aren't you usually in on boring, predictable vets?
Brad Johnson
4:12
I [expletive] hate it
Mark

scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest). How tired are you are of the word "Ohtani"?
Brad Johnson
4:13
I did prefer Otani...
Nate J
4:13
?!?!?!
Brad Johnson
4:13
That's in reaction to my Acuna over Ohtani take
I'll spit ball some numbers
