In fact, give me Touki in any kind of scenario where he might be a future keeper
Probably Pineda in a redraft

Acuna or Soto for my dynasty league?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Acuna but it's pretty close
4:06
Soto is probably a "better" hitter in a way that isn't well-captured by fantasy stats
Acuna fills the spreadsheet better

Ryon Healy loses almost all his value after the M's got Santana, right?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Santana has almost no bearing on Ryon Healy - who already had no value in basically all formats
4:07
If Santana is still on the M's roster by the start of the season, I'll eat something hat shaped

Corbin to Nats confirmed by Morosi
Brad Johnson
4:07
That's surprising
Purple Mays Haze

Corbin to Nats, 6 years. Happ to Yankees more likely now?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Yes.

Curious on your view of Luis Urias long term. His minor league career high in SBs is 10. If he isn't hitting for power doesn't he have to hit .350 every year and have to be in a good lineup to be a starting caliber 2B in 10/12 team leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:08
I think Urias will develop decent power to go with a high average
He's a little bit like JP Crawford in terms of expected output

What is the best fantasy league to join if a)you like advanced stats and b)you're not a complete noob at fantasy?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Ottoneu!
4:09
Play FGpts

Corbin = 6/140, according to Heyman
Brad Johnson
4:09
Good for him. This is also a best case scenario for his fantasy owners. He doesn't have to deal with the AL East parks or Citizen's Bank
4:10
Well, maybe a handful of starts
But not more than half!
The NL East will be a competitive division though

Merrifield or S.Marte next year in a 16tm roto with OBP instead of AVG. I'd lean Merrifield, but they appear close. Thanks Brad!
Brad Johnson
4:11
I lean that way too, it's not a strong preference, and I wonder how much I'm affected by Marte's missed time
I don't think he's actually any more likely to miss time than Merrifield in 2019

At the risk of spending too much time on Charlie Morton don't you think it's pretty big red flag when a smart team like the Astros chooses not to give him a qualifying offer? He had shoulder issues last year and one would figure the Astros have better information than we do on his injuries.
Brad Johnson
4:12
Not really. I think the consensus is that he can be signed for less than the QO amount, and the Astros probably wanted to be a little more flexible with that cash
They're swimming in pitching as it is, and they'll sign at least one starter
4:13
So thats Verl, Cole, Framber, James, Peacock, McHugh, and Whitley as in house options
Plus whoever they sign
And I think it's 100% he would have accepted the QO

Zach Eflin or Luke Weaver for an NL only keep forever league?
Brad Johnson
4:13
EZ Weaver for me
Also, if you're making this choice today, the Phillies are very likely to trade Eflin
And let's call it a 50/50 chance he lands in the AL...

Aside from Stewart, Alonso and Urias, who were just mentioned, who are some minor eligible (under 130 ABs) hitters who you think can make an impact this year?
Brad Johnson
4:14
This is a great question, but I'm underprepared to answer it
4:15
I'll scan for some who jump off the page
