We'll get started in a few minutes

Ottoneu points-style dynasty league. What kind of trade value, in terms of prospects, do you think these Dodgers pitchers have: Maeda, Wood, Stripling?
Brad Johnson
3:58
Maybe like a $2 Carter Kieboom
There are basically 2 types of prospects in ottoneu - monsters like Vladito and guys who don't matter
Kieboom, if $2, is one of the few who lives in the space between.
3:59
I don't think you can get a premium prospect for any of those guys
Walt

What tier of closer (if any) could I get for Muncy ($9) plus Sheffield ($5) in an Ottoneu 5x5?
Brad Johnson
3:59
Should be able to choose whoever you want
4:00
A $9 Muncy should be rated above any closer - they're either going to be expensive or just OK.

What Relief-friendly stat will replace Saves in the majority of 5x5 fantasy leagues?  or will "pitching" sort of be mushed together in SP/RP Combo stats?
Brad Johnson
4:01
I think we'll see more saves+holds. If there was a good invent-able alternative, I think we would have gotten there already
4:02
I know I've spent a lot of time thinking on the subject and have come up with zilch. Not to over-sell my "genius," but I'm usually good at scheming up quirky little fixes to "problems"
Joe

Who goes number 1 in the all time fantasy draft?
Brad Johnson
4:02
Off the top of my head? Barry Bonds? We doing this sim league style?
4:03
Maybe a long term ace then. But I have trouble imagining a player with a better peak + longevity than Bonds.

Dynasty roto league my JP Crawford for his Glasnow. Both are currently in the minors. Fair? He's got an abundance of pitching, and needs to clear some salary, so a potential cheap 3B in Crawford with upside could help.
Brad Johnson
4:03
Seems reasonable to me. I happen to still like JPC more than most, but Glasnow also looks like a solid asset right away.
4:04
JPC looks better in an OBP format fwiw
Just in a general sense, still think it's fine to deal him for Glasnow

who do you like more as a keeper - robles, haniger or mondesi?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Mondesi was picked briefly before I had a chance to consider him in Dynasty To Be Named Later. I might as well link to that now since I assume it'll come up a few times. h/o
This post gets you the draft results - we're in the 4th round. https://www.patreon.com/posts/23334846

Second pick was trending towards being a decision between Mondesi and Robles
I think I might have still gone Robles, but it's a coin flip
This is also a dynasty scenario, in say a 10 team keeper, Robles would be out as an option.
Slurve
4:07
Which hitter that changes teams this off season will improve his fantasy value the most?
Brad Johnson
4:08
I want to say it'll be somebody like Justin Bour or Yonder Alonso having a rebound season
Going from a draft day afterthought to somebody useful
4:09
Kinda love Cutch in Philly though. That small small park
Pie Eaton Contest
4:09
General thoughts on Eovaldi in QS/IP leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:09
I don't see him as somebody who will consistently hit 6 IP in a start
4:10
He's an interesting flier, but I think his postseason performance spoiled that opportunity
It's a shame, I had a billion shares of him last season for nothing. Need to find a new rebound guy.

hey brad.  in a 5X5 auction league ($300 budget) league where we keep 5, can you rank these pitchers:   Flaherty @11.  Greinke @30.  Price @29.   Verlander @32.  Wheeler @5.
Brad Johnson
4:11
Probably go Flaherty, Verl, Wheeler. I assume you're not keeping 5 pitchers.

Wade Davis hold the closer's job all year in Colorado... he's cheap in my dynasty for this year and next... or should I try to sell for prospects
Brad Johnson
4:11
I would see what's available. Don't force a trade, but if something with some long term shine is available, grab it.
Don
4:12
Do you see Pablo Lopez having any relevant fantasy value this year?  Seems like the Marlins will give him every opportunity to be their #1 guy
Brad Johnson
4:13
Honestly, I don't have much info on Lopez. His stat line smells reasonably decent. But some stuff isn't adding up
