I can keep Khrush Davis at $36 this season ... out of a $380 budget in an OBP league. Last season he was a snap keep for me at $31 - and I need a middle of the order RBI producer - but I'm worried 10% of my budget's a little too much for 2020. Am I reading too much into his injury last year if I cut him?
Brad Johnson
4:36
I think you have to cut him
The thing is, we keep saying he must have been injured, but it still hasn't come out that he was.
4:37
He obviously had the injuries prior to the slump. He also supposedly recovered.
There's a real risk he's not playable in any sense anymore.

seeing khris davis show up around 165-175 on the early 2020 ADP predictors - think that number will climb as people hedge a little more aggressively on buying low after his injury?
Brad Johnson
4:37
That said, I do want to speculate in this range.

Do you like MLB not testing for marijuana anymore?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Seems unnecessary to ruin minor leaguer's careers over weed.

Yahoo, 12 team, 10 keeper. Odd man out: Kepler, C. Seager, Dylan Carlson, Wander Franco, Brandon Woodruff, Othani (SP)
Brad Johnson
4:38
I think Carlson
I'm a big fan, but that's a very shallow league. Wander is generational, Carlson is merely quite good.
4:39
That said, Carlson will debut this year. Wander may be 2+ years out still.
Hopefully you have a NA slot

Hey brad.  it's early but i'm bored so asking about keeper help.  Pick 5 out of these:   villar 19, olson 12, suarez 14, story 41, robles 4, rendon 32, robles 4, verlander 36, soroka 11, wheeler 11.   its a 5X5 12 man league with a $300 auction budget.
Brad Johnson
4:39
Olson's the easy one. Suarez is a good value too.
4:40
After that, my gut leans Soroka, Rendon, Verlander
But that's just a reaction. A $4 Robles might be too cheap to pass.
4:41
Especially if top pitchers max out around $40. Same re: top hitters and Rendon/Story
Just depends on what you think can be accomplished in-auction.

Playing the $3 and $5 prospect game in ottoneu 5x5 - I know youre not huge into prospects but curious if you strong opinions to keep any of these guys: $3 larnach / deivi garcia / nimmo or $5 solak / brendan rodgers / keller?
Brad Johnson
4:41
I want the Keller side

Expensive (maybe 85% Estimated auction value) Luis Castillo or %15 auction value will smith (C) dynasty league?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I'd lean Smith in this case

Is it too early to take Jasson Dominguez in a 14 team dynasty with 15 prospect roster spots? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:42
No

Is now a good time to sell Christian Walker in dynasty leagues? Should I feel threatened by Cron and Beer, or should I hold?
Should clarify that I also have Olson holding down first so Walker is expendable if need be
Brad Johnson
4:42
Walker is... not good.
The Diamondbacks should not be playing him over Cron
4:43
If you can even get something for him, I'd sell
Wouldn't be shocked if you put him on the block and hear crickets.

Devin Williams: SP or Reliever? Impact this year?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Seems like he's hasn't been a starter since 2016.
Might have some opportunities if Hader is sold
Otherwise, probably stocked in Triple-A or down in the pecking order early in the season

12 team OBP Roto, keep 5 forever at no cost - Olson or Rizzo? DJLM, Albies, or Semien? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:45
Olson and... uh
I guess Albies did improve his plate discipline
