What type of value does Verdugo have now in Boston?
Brad Johnson
4:12
It's certainly an upgrade to go from that crowded roster to somewhere he should net 700 PA if healthy
4:13
Betting on big volume, 20 HR, good AVG
4:14
Could be a top 30 player if it all clicks. 700 PA, 20 HR, 90 R, 90 RBI, 10 SB, .290 AVG
The runs/RBI obviously relate to where he bats. Roster Resource has him penciled in down the order, but I think he'll be in the top 4

Thanks for the chat! I'm in a 14-team H2H 5x5 categories league, but it's OPS, not BA. We get up to 4 keepers. Cole and Bellinger appear to be 'no brainers', but need to choose 2 out of Bieber, Villar, Gallo (who could be a monster in this non-BA format). Thoughts?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Gallo IS a monster in OPS
4:15
You have to take him. Bieber too imo.
Villar's an easy cut for me.

I've drank the Miguel Sano Kool Aid, if I'm already keeping Flaherty in the 10th rd can I justify keeping Sano (16th round) ove Bieber (12th).  12 tm 5x5 obp league.
Brad Johnson
4:15
Same vein, I like Sano more than most but I wouldn't take him over Bieber
Mojo

Do you purchase any projections or valuation/draft support software?
Brad Johnson
4:16
No.
Not sure why I picked this one, I have nothing helpful to say!
4:17
I guess cuz I knew the answer...

Dynasty draft involving all of last year's MLB draftees and J2 players. How high would you draft Erick Pena?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Pretty high. Usually in the 7 to 12 range
But, don't fret too much about Pena specifically.
There are so many good players in the FYPD this year
4:18
This is my favorite resource.
FanTrax also has a solid list

You have any shares of Vlad Jr? Where are/would you draft him? Feel like his current ADP is too high.
Brad Johnson
4:18
I do. I even got him in the Rotoworld mock draft for their annual magazine
Lemme just crack that open and see where I took him
4:19
Oh right, it was a mock auction
4:20
They didn't publish individual values.
4:21
But I did do a 43.5/56.5 hitter/pitcher split!
And according to some projection tools, I crushed the draft.
4:22
Sorry, getting lost in some past stuff.
Let's move on
In short, I like him a lot, but you need a specific situation. Or a reasonable auction price.

Any interest in Vanmeter or Nola around pick # 450?
Brad Johnson
4:22
I think you can do better.
4:23
Plenty of guys with a clearer path to PT and at least as much talent.

What are your thoughts on this ongoing Twitter discussion of whether Bieber is good or overrated? Whether the bad fastball will torpedo him or not?
Brad Johnson
4:23
I feel like I have some OG cred here.
I was on the Bieber-bad-fastball train last winter
I liked him in that Nick Pivetta range asset class, but I only wound up with a couple shares. (and thankfully no Pivettas)
