Appears he's a fastball-curve pitcher but works down in the zone? That's counter to what everybody is doing these days.

I hate spending on catchers in my 2 C league.  Are there some under the radar catchers that I can get semi cheap that will provide enough counting stats and not destroy my avg?
Brad Johnson
4:14
There will be. We need to wait a little long for the dust to settle. Minnesota could have 2 if they don't sign somebody. Or zero if they do.

I'm one of those guys constantly tinkering with my roster, it's a very solid Ottoneu roster, geared for 2019-2021.  I want to keep tinkering - can one "overtinker."
Brad Johnson
4:14
Absolutely, although more trades usually correlates to better success

How much longer can Rich Hill still produce at a 12 team 5th SP fantasy level?
Brad Johnson
4:15
Take it year to year

why cant tyler white just play? i dont want houston to sign someone
Brad Johnson
4:16
That's a great question. The answer is that they're built to win a world series and his spot in the lineup is one of the only ones they can upgrade. He'd start for most teams.
I'm quietly scooping up as many cheap shares of White as I can find
And preparing to wait it out

I play in a standard 5X5 league and we're thinking of replacing saves with Saves plus holds but I think that devalues closers too much.   What do you think of saves plus holds but a hold only counts for 1/2?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Do you have a platform that supports it? Holds are already less common than saves. SV+HD only truly devalues bad closers. Although lots of owners mistakenly treat them as the same.

rickey Henderson should be considered for the #1 slot.
Brad Johnson
4:18
This is for the all-time draft - and yes he should

where would you stick bellinger in a dynasty rankings? top 30 overall?
Brad Johnson
4:19
He went 28 in our draft. I think that's about right
4:20
25-35 range?

Which position player has the farthest gap between fantasy value and real value??
Brad Johnson
4:21
Andrelton Simmons?
or in the other direction, Dee Gordon?

Conforto coming back strong this year?  Looked like his power bounced back 2nd half.
Brad Johnson
4:21
I'm betting big on him - or at least I plan to
4:22
nobody is selling low. Nor were they when he was struggling.

While I am pleased to see my Otto 4x4 keeper Carlos Santana out of the pitcher's park in Seattle, isn't "He's thrilled to be back in Cleveland" right down there with "best shape of his life" and "Wow, what a spring training!  He's a new batter!"?
Brad Johnson
4:23
I like him ahead of Ramirez and Lindor though
Progressive Field is good for him when batting lefty, not so much from the right side

25 team dynasty, 5x5 Roto classic. Who are you taking next?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Oh shit, I'm on the clock. Excuse me folks
4:25
I'll come back to this
Mr. Magoo

How quickly does Whitley make it to Houston?
Brad Johnson
4:26
that depends a little bit on how he looks this spring, and how quickly the Astros have a need in the rotation
It's still a pretty strong unit

should i try to get whatever i can for kuechel in fantasy before he signs? no idea what to expect from him in 2019
Brad Johnson
4:27
Again, go ahead and see what's out there. But make sure it's actually something. He goes on long brilliant streaks for fantasy purposes. I don't think you need to dump him for anything at all.

Is Nimmo (and Conforto/Rosario/McNeil) value on the rise with hitters like Cano and Ramos being added to the lineup? Big fan of Nimmo but his R/RBI numbers are very lacking in a bad lineup.
Brad Johnson
4:28
Conforto is certainly helped. Nimmo might get shoved out of the top of the order which would hurt his value. Rosario is pretty much stuck in the 8-hole.
And McNeil as an everyday 3B seems... suspect... to me
Think he'll be a frequently used bench bat
I see the potential for more from him, and I'm trying to acquire shares for when he's eventually freed
