Brad Johnson
3:30
At least, I'm willing to bet money it's not. Can't actually rule it out.
3:31
I'll say he returns to KC
It may depend on who lands JDM
3:32
I do think there's a very real chance he'll be unsigned in March while teams wait for his price to fall. That's why I think KC is a favorite. They can step in sooner with a safety net deal
Sterling Malory Chris Archer
3:32
Will 2016 Wil Myers show up ever again?
Brad Johnson
3:32
Look again.
That 2017 line is the same as 2018
granted, it hurts than his R and RBI declined so sharply, but that's mostly not his fault
Al Gone Quinn
3:33
Are you interested in Dahl as a sleeper this year?
Brad Johnson
3:34
I LOVE post hype guys.
I mostly play dynasties and deep keeper leagues. My #1 strategy is to form a complete roster in the offseason and only purchase $1 players in the draft. Specifically targeting players who slip through the cracks like Dahl.
3:35
Then when a couple of them spike, I send them to a rebuilding team for a star.
Matt
3:35
Does LoCain have a potential to go somewhere that might help to boost his production?
Brad Johnson
3:36
Not really. KC is a friendly park for offense; it just suppresses HR
his power isn't such that he's likely to add many moving to a smaller yard. And he'll lose hits and SB opportunities in the exchange
Ryan
3:36
How much value does Chris Archer gain if he's traded to the NL?
Brad Johnson
3:37
Better question, how much value does Chris Archer gain if he's traded to a team that wins his starts
the answer is a TON
Henry
3:37
Stephen Piscotty a solid bounceback candidate?
Brad Johnson
3:37
Another great posthype guy
I have him for $8 in FG Staff 2 and I can't give him away
3:38
I feel like that's a very friendly price. He was viewed as a safe $15 to $20 guy heading into 2017
I don't see any reason to change those expectations
Matt
3:38
At this point, Jimmy Nelson should be dropped, right? Have him at $7 in dynasty ($4 is risk-free salary).
Brad Johnson
3:39
Depends on the flavor of dynasty
I'd keep him in mine and treat him as a prospect
I'm going to wander back to the queue for a bit, I'll return to real time at 3:50
Busted Pinata
3:40
Do you think Chris Owings can approach the success he showed early last season or was that a best case scenario?
Brad Johnson
3:40
Part of it depends on if the DBacks install that humidor. He derives a lot of his value by hitting ground balls on a super fast infield
3:41
When I look at his overall performance, I don't really see a meaningful change from past seasons
I think he's a fun stream for 12 team leagues and little more
JD15
3:41
How does the Mikolas signing affect Alex Reyes's value this season?
Brad Johnson
3:41
It doesn't.
3:42
Reyes is going to pitch when he's ready, and he's going to be limited
Cost Averse GM
3:42
I have the option to keep both Happ and W Contreras, does keeping 2 players from the same team concern you?
Brad Johnson
3:42
Not at all. Prioritize talent.
Busted Pinata
3:42
Does last season go down as the best fantasy season of Thames's career?
Brad Johnson
3:42
Very likely
3:43
That April was three-quarters of his value
