Is Albies, Brandon Lowe, Nate Lowe, and Astudillo enough for Blake Snell? Fangraphs Points dynasty league, Snell is a little more expensive then those 4 combined.
Brad Johnson
4:29
Cheap Albies for Snell seems semi-reasonable. I don't attach much/any value to the Lowes and Willians in FGpts right now.
4:30
And personally, I prefer Snell. I'm not a big Albies fan
As a hitter, he looks like (much) less powerful Rougned Odor

any sleeper steals guys on your radar?
Brad Johnson
4:31
I'll keep saying Roman Quinn even though his path to playing time is a little murkier now. And could get worse if the Phillies ink Harper.
Jim Leyland Palmer
4:31
Keep 5 forever, at draft cost (no escalating costs). Who do you take in the final two spots: Realmuto (12th), Bauer (11th) and Buehler (23rd)
Brad Johnson
4:32
Depends on league depth
The deeper the league, the more attractive Buehler looks
4:33
You're not going wrong with any combination of those 3. I honestly can't be more specific as I can think of multiple scenarios in which I would take any combo of the two.

Gore, Hamilton, and Merrifield on the same team. Royals are really going to steal next year, aren’t they?
Brad Johnson
4:34
And Mondesi!
4:35
Honestly, I don't think anybody expects Gore to play
4:36
I assume they're just counting on being able to eventually trade him for something

Better keeper at a similar price: Happ or Morton?
Brad Johnson
4:36
I prefer Morton
It's not a big gap

are we buying marquez's 2nd half in colorado? SP is so scarce in my dynasty league...i'm fine with auction overpays, but for a colorado pitcher?
Brad Johnson
4:37
I buy it. The breakout came with an adjustment to throw higher fastballs - which blends well with his breaking balls
Coors Field is always worrisome - I wouldn't pay for a sub-3.00 ERA or anything

Is Juan Soto the real enough deal that you wouldn't even think about trading him for a below market ($38) Altuve that you'd keep for 2 years?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Yes, depending on league depth and how long you can keep Soto
4:39
If we're talking a 10 team shallow roster format, then I might prefer Altuve. The deeper the league, the better Soto looks.

BREAKING: BaseballATeam selects Bo Bichette 4.17
That's 92nd overall

Fangraphs ever thought about a live "Chat" format draft in real time with like a 30 second-1 minute limit for each pick.  I'd tune in...esp. if someone could keep track of the teams as writers are picking
Brad Johnson
4:40
I don't think JotCast works well with that many moderators
4:41
But we've run some draft-type things in the past, I don't think they were fan favorites
I assume that's why we stopped
Or maybe it was just the logistical nightmare
Slurve
4:41
maybe have an extra writer not participate only to be left to cap on "stupid" picks and other commentary...
Brad Johnson
4:42
Could do something in Discord, but we don't have a Discord community for some reason.
Tom AND Jerry
4:42
Should there be any playing time concerns for Brantley owners? Depth can be scary.
Brad Johnson
4:43
Not really. He'll maybe get a little more rest than we're used to, but that should serve to keep him fresh.
Michael
4:43
How do you feel about Miguel Cabrera at $22 in an AL-Only 4x4? Worthwhile risk with the shallow 1B pool in the AL?
Brad Johnson
4:43
I think so, assuming you can't use that $22 more constructively elsewhere
Flip
4:44
Royce Lewis in the 3rd seems a little aggressive doesn’t it? Or more likely, I’m just way too low
on him?
Brad Johnson
4:44
This is a topic I may write about tomorrow since my strategy is pretty apparent by now
