I don't love it. Could be fine
I'd say you got 90 cents on the dollar

Josh Donaldson repeat season from last year? better? worse?
Brad Johnson
4:46
I don't think it's smart to look for *better*
4:47
He should be fine if healthy. If the Twins are smart, they'll manage him like Justin Turner.
Keep him in the 550 to 600 PA range.
Otherwise, he'll probably break too often to realize the full value of his contract.

Rosario or Catellanos as a 6th keeper (I'm keeping Tatis, Jo-Ram, Cole, Glasnow & Osuna)? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:47
Usually I'd definitely say Rosario
But you already have quite a few SB, huh?
4:48
And MI
You sure you don't have an alternate choice? Picking Castellanos would ruin my street cred as a hater.
Bubba
4:48
Yeah, looking for average & power.
I mean Eddie Rosario, sorry!
Brad Johnson
4:48
Ooooooo
4:49
Rosario for me
With the caveat that I'm a bit worried the Twins seemingly want to move on from him.

Any idea if Texas' new stadium is a hitter or a pitcher park?
Brad Johnson
4:49
hahaha
4:50
Perhaps treat it like The Glob initially. That was a seasonal venue, kinda pitcher-friendly early in the year and very hitter friendly in the middle months
Josh Rojas
4:50
Is a trade the most likely way I get playing time now that Marte is in town?
Brad Johnson
4:50
Injuries
4:51
He's not getting traded any time soon. Rojas'll probably return to Triple-A. If he's mashing again, they'll open a door.
Kevin
4:51
Any concerns with the new 3 batter rule as it comes to saves or holds? Rays traded Pagan knowing they have to adjust their strategy and platoon hitting could be key late in the game?
Brad Johnson
4:51
I think the Rays just saw an opportunity to realize a profit on their zero-investment into Pagan and took it.
4:52
It'll affect those easy one-out holds for southpaws
But otherwise I don't think we'll feel it much in fantasy land

is hitting Triples a repeatable skill? in a league with terrible scoring format and Ketel Marte was a beast (and is projected to be again) but i'd have to cut Hiura loose
Brad Johnson
4:52
No. But also keep Marte anyway.
Sad you have to cut one. Sure there isn't someone older or overrated-er?

In a dynasty 12 team leauge with 10 pitchers Joe Musgrove or Chris Archer
Brad Johnson
4:53
ez Mussy

Spec pick on Puig in 12-team seems aggressive to me. He really an everyday OF3?
Brad Johnson
4:53
Should be
But that's like a last round dart throw if at all
Michael Chavis
4:53
Not sure if it's still the case but ARI used to have one of (if not the highest) 3B park factors FWIW
Brad Johnson
4:54
I'd have to investigate. I also recall some research that basically said 3B park factors are broken
God Speed John Glenn

Marcell Ozuna is a statcast darling. I read the fangraphs article that says his balls might slice in the air cutting distance. Any chance this gets fixed in the offseason? Do you ever get insider info to know what hitters are working on in the offseason?
Brad Johnson
4:55
I don't have any on Ozuna. I do sometimes get insider tips, but most of what I benefit from is simply catching a lot of the stuff published to outsiders.
I'm thinking the slice is probably a feature and not a bug worth fixing
