Assuming I have a big bench, I aim for 4 closers and 8 SP. Then I play SP based on matchups and 2-start week and backfill however many CL I need
The old professor
3:51
I can keep
keep
Keep forever H2H dynasty league. Can keep
StandardH2H dynasty league, can keep 7 forever.. which 2 get cut? Sano, Buxton, Dee Gordon, Willie Calhoun, Nola, Paxton, Kenley Jansen, Wilson Contreras, Nomar Mazara
Brad Johnson
3:52
Got there :)
That is a very difficult list
Jansen and Gordon may have the least long term value. But they're very valuable in the short term.
3:53
Sadly, I think Mazara is on the chopping block. I probably let Calhoun go too. The exception is if your team won't contend in 2018
Acuna Matata
3:54
Why do you think so few innings from Buehler?
Brad Johnson
3:54
It's just how prospects are used, especially by the over-deep Dodgers
Skip
3:54
Paxton, Devers, and J.Bradley for Severino and Keuchel. Which side do you like?
Brad Johnson
3:54
No preference. Unless it's a deep dynasty in which case Devers is the best asset in the swap
Gary Sanchez
3:54
Does Abreu and Chad Green for J Turner and L Weaver sound good?
Brad Johnson
3:55
Smells fine to me
Prefer the Turner side, modestly
Matt
3:55
if salaries and contracts are similar, do you think Lo Cain for Quintana is a decent starter, or way off?
Brad Johnson
3:55
Can try it. Prefer Quintana, all else equal.
Andy

Thanks for chatting Brad.  Pick one as a MI keeper for the next 3 years - Brendan Rodgers, Adames, G. Torres
Brad Johnson
3:55
Rodgers then Torres
3:56
Both are similarly strong prospects
Adames isn't the same class
Skip
3:56
If Gausman were to be traded to STL I would draft him much higher.
Brad Johnson
3:56
True
Francisco

Hey man, so...I'm jones'ing for either Acuña or Torres in my 10-team, 5x5 (OBP, otherwise standard). It's keep 7 forever, so I think I've got enough on my bench to make a move...would sending a guy like Miggy be enough? Not enough? Trade picks?
Brad Johnson
3:56
Neither of them are presently top 70 keepers in that format.
Nor is Miggy
3:57
I mean, you can try sending him just to see what happens
But you should be able to do better
Skip
3:57
Do you avoid answering questions on certain players because you want them to stay sleepers?
Brad Johnson
3:57
Nah, I've answered just about everything that's been asked since the start of the this chat. All the extra questions are in the pre-chat queue
3:58
I doubt enough people are reading this chat to ruin any sleepers I'd want
And I'm still in a pre-sleeper portion of the offseason. Need robust ADP before I know who is actually a sleeper
3:59
I've done this game for too long. You think a guy is going to be cheap and then he's going in the 4th round.
Stubby Clapp
3:59
Why is Kyle Schwarber relevant to anything?
Brad Johnson
3:59
50 HR potential
Matt
4:00
Regarding the extremes. I feel like every time I do my research, there are like 5 guys that are just in a different world. But then the #5-25 guys are all pretty standard, and after that, its just a crap shoot. But my view may be distorted because I'm in a dynasty league and am thus ignoring many players I wouldn't because they're owned at good contracts and essentially untradable.
Brad Johnson
4:00
That's pretty standard. However, there are more hyper-elite players in the league than in past seasons. Hasn't been like this since the peak of the steroid era.
Slamboni
4:00
I need a 1B in my 14 team points league. I can sign one of: Chris Davis, Mark Reynolds or Albert Pujols or get Matt Olson in our MiLB draft instead of a prospect. Thoughts?
Brad Johnson
4:01
I'd avoid Pujols, I think he's on the way out. Davis seems due for a rebound. Olson is my preferred target of the 4
