Is Danny Janssen worth keeping for $8 in a $260-cap, 1-catcher, 12-team 6x6 (OBP) league? I would love to have a little stability at the position.
Brad Johnson
4:49
I think that's a bit much.
You CAN do it, it's not like overpaying $4 is going to cripple your draft.
Strategic overpays at weak positions can be fine.
4:50
So long as you're getting enough value elsewhere.

What's your take on Julio and Luis Urias this year?
Brad Johnson
4:50
I love Luis in dynasty formats as he'll probably progress slowly
I like guys who have a high floor but aren't flashy upon reaching the majors
Makes it easy to buy them cheaply and profit later

How would you rank the following SS prospects for fantasy value in a 14 team OPS league: Andres Gimenez, Luis Garcia (PHI), Luis Garcias (WAS), Marco Luciano, Gavin Lux, Sherwyn Newton
Brad Johnson

Luis Garcia, Andres Gimenez, Marco Luciano, Luis Garcia, Gavin Lux, Shervyen Newton
4:52
We're talking like next 6 years though, right?
If you're looking at more instant gratification, Lux, Garcia, and Gimenez are much closer to the majors.

Who would you prefer as a late round grab in a dynasty keeper league - Jo Adell or Jesus Luzardo?
Brad Johnson
4:53
Adell for long term value. Luzardo for 2019 production.
Austin Barnes
4:53
Worth owning as a C2?
Brad Johnson
4:53
In a sufficiently deep league, sure. Maybe not for 12-teams
I don't have him as a late-draft flier
Just to see if anything happens

dominic smith--big enough MLB sample size to forget about as productive player?
Brad Johnson
4:54
I wouldn't completely cross off his name, but he's more of a guy to watch list than own

I've got next pick in my dynasty league, who do I go with? Waters, Bohm, Hampson, Gimenez, Lux, Luciano on the board
Brad Johnson
4:55
if the league is deep, I'd do Luciano. He's the most likely of those to turn Wander Franco hypemon
A shallower format makes the near-majors guys like Hampson and Gimenez more attractive
Ay

In dynasty leagues for rebuilding teams, do you think it's better to sell Kluber now or later? People are concerned on his future, will that be more or less so as we approach the All Star Break?
Brad Johnson
4:56
You should be continually shopping him. The sooner you can sell him the better. Even so, it's not a sell-at-all-costs scenario
You need an offer to pass a certain point in quality.
The Realmuto trade is instructive

I take it from your response above that you're not concerned about Matt Chapman for the 2019 season overall (outside of slow start potential)?   [selfish part of the question] - i'm picking between him at $4 and a $25 Cole (or $11 Clev) for my 7th/final keeper in a keep forever.  Heavily leaning to keeping Chapman and just redraft Cole/Clev at a $10 premium . . .
Brad Johnson
4:58
I think that's a reasonable approach
Nor do I think taking Cole at $25 is wrong either (without knowing a lot more).
Frequently, our final choices are a variety of good scenarios

In the spirit of opportunistic trading... How did I do in trading my James Paxton? I traded Paxton for Diego Cartaya and Luis Patino
Brad Johnson
4:59
That's a big investment in 2023
5:00
I wouldn't have traded my dynasty share for them, but that's because I'm heavily win-now. I fully plan to ride Paxton until he's dust.
5:01
There's a chance you'll almost immediately win
I'm edgy about Paxton the Yankee
feels like the range of outcomes is between unplayable to top 5 SP
Ken Giles Right Hook
5:01
BTW for the Paxton question my league's ageism is strong and Patino as the centerpiece was my best offer

How valuable is Muncy in a dynasty league? I know you are a believer, but is he any more valuable than Hicks or Pollock?
