I'd probably play better too tbh
Write 4 articles every day for a couple months then see how much you want to micromanage 10+ teams :)
5:01
I'm working on cutting back this year, but I probably wouldn't have to if I was doing something else.

I've got a share of Trevor Bauer and I need to sell.  What would be a fair move for a hitter?  Is Correa or Machado too much to ask for in return? Basically, can I trust Bauer in Cincy?
Brad Johnson
5:01
Try it!
Can't hurt
I wouldn't expect a yes, but you might get one.
5:02
I think Bauer will be fine. He's still a threat for big numbers. Or pain.

How about IP instead of W or QS?  Avoids the binary cutoff of a QS, but still reflects quality of pitching.
Brad Johnson
5:02
That's a viable route, but I think you need some other quirks in your league first.
5:03
If it's straight 12 team, Yahoo standard, then I'd shy away from IP

Why are we getting a discount on Rizzo this year? Did basically the same numbers (adjusted for ball / playing time). is the 'Age: 30' really that scary?
Brad Johnson
5:03
It's the back issues that keep coming up

weird how Vlad is basically getting drafted in the same spot as last year despite having a lot more implied playing time this year
Brad Johnson
5:04
The increase PT is counterbalanced by his disappointing debut
He's still going way before his projected output (and I'm still considering him regardless)

4 years of Yordan Alvarez or 2 of Arenado in 5x5 with OPS?
Brad Johnson
5:05
Tough one!
I really like Alvarez so I think it comes down to your time horizons.
Arenado is definitely the safe play if you think 2020 is winnable
If it's a little more of a stretch for you to take 2020, then Alvarez starts looking a lot more attractive.

2h dynasty regardless of position who do you keep (only keep one) Rhys Hoskins, Yoan Moncada or Cory Seager?
Brad Johnson
5:06
Moncada
W Calhoun vs Sano
5:06
If one were to take position out of the question, who hits better in 2020?
Brad Johnson
5:06
For fantasy numbers, Sano
Calhoun could conceivably out wRC+ Sano while still massively underperforming him on fantasy stats
Rhett

Think McCullers will be on an innings limit? What can we expect from him this year?
Brad Johnson
5:07
I suspect 140 IP on something like the Kenta Maeda plan
Andy
5:07
Does Whitley start the year in AAA?
Brad Johnson
5:07
Most likely
He'd have the light it up in spring AND there would need to be an obviously open rotation spot
5:08
Because if he's looking sharp again, then the Astros might as well bank the extra year of club control

will MadBum get Keuchel'd?
Brad Johnson
5:08
No
I think he'll get his $100MM ask.
I know everyone seems to prefer Wheeler, but I still have Bum as a hair better next 4-5 years
Rhett
5:08
Kyle Tucker be a factor in the Astros OF now that Marisnick is out of there? OF of Tucker, Springer, and Reddick???
Brad Johnson
5:09
Brantley too, don't forget
I do think they expect Tucker to lay claim to a job
Ok, I'm throwing in the towel, see ya all next week.
