Pick 4 at no cost in a OBP H2H - deGrom, Freeman, Olson, Harper, Soto, Gallo. Thanks!

Brad Johnson

4:15

12 team?

I love stockpiling elite SP

4:16

In H2H at least. Incidentally, my roto strategy is usually light on pitching.

deGrom or Soto for me

langford

4:16

assuming the same, low-ish salary: would you rather have matt boyd or caleb smith in 2020?

Brad Johnson

4:16

Definitely Boyd

DJ Tanner

4:16

Last week you said you would spill the beans on your secret prospect ranked in the 500's that you're high on. Let

Brad Johnson

4:17

I guess I lied. I'm playing a long game now. He wasn't taken in our redistro draft (picks 626 to 750) so I'll pick him up for free late in the FYPD

4:18

Trust me when I say this isn't a Dylan Carlson in waiting. It's more like a Dylan Cozens...

Chonk

Got a PA projection for Garrett Hampson?

Brad Johnson

4:18

Newp

Vegan Man!

4:18

yeah, 12 team. I also have Paddack, Wheeler, Thor

Brad Johnson

4:18

degromulent

Jimmy

4:18

Olson, Rizzo, Goldy. Rank them for 2020.

Brad Johnson

4:18

OBP? AVG?

4:19

That's probably the order. Rizzo gets a boost in OBP

Dodger Fan

4:19

Sporer listed Kershaw as #10 ranked fantasy SP back in August. Ahead of Clevinger, Thor, and Castillo. As the name implies, I'm a Dodger fan. But that can't be right, can it? He hasn't even topped 180 IP in over year years ...

Brad Johnson

4:20

Well, I don't even try to rank pitchers - it's pointless

But I would take Clevinger, Kershaw, Thor, Castillo in that order

of the 4 listed

Ham

4:20

I know you'd said you were betting on the 2019 ball to leave us alone in 2020, but it seems like it's here to stay? Any thoughts on the most recent announcements from Rawlings/MLB? Also just like, what a weird thing to have to think about for fans watching baseball...

Brad Johnson

4:20

I treat everything MLB says about the baseball as misinformation

4:21

So, my thoughts are basically that anything they say means nothing.
I will say, I'm building in more of 2019 today than I was a week ago.

Brian

4:21

How does Rays trade for Xavier Edwards impact Vidal Brujan?

Brad Johnson

4:22

I don't think it does

The Rays are just addicted to 2B with potential positional flexibility

I'm sure they'd like Brujan to be Zobrist

4:23

And Edwards will probably get some OF time soon

Vegan Man!

4:23

$3 Avisail in Otto worth keeping with him in MIL? Thanks!

Brad Johnson

4:23

Yes. I'd hold or sell. Not a cut that cheap.

Chris

4:23

12 team keeper league, H2H with pitching stats W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP. I will be keeping either Bumgarner or Manaea for a three-year contract, and cutting the other one into the draft. Pitching is worth a ton in this league, and although I'm not 100% ready to buy Manaea's late season results, Bum's new location has me worried. Who do you prefer? I'm probably a year away from seriously contending for a title.

Brad Johnson

4:23

Bum by miles and miles

Michael

4:24

Thanks for the response! Points league though, so no need for SBs, I'm guessing your response of Smith, Glasnow, Carrasco, Woodruff?

Brad Johnson

4:24

Oh, that complicates matters. I don't have points values internalized at this time. But I figure replacement level for SP is still much lower than your shallow positions.

4:25

Probably not keeping smith

in points

Gator

4:25

Any of these guys have value in NL only 5X5 std roto: Haseley, Gamel, Harold Ramirez, Van meter, Berti, Tapia?

Brad Johnson

4:25

Berti for sure. Haseley as of today

and definitely Ramirez too
