consensus would say Hoskins, I'd say Bellinger, smartest play may be Severino.
4:18
Those are all fantastic values though. Only must-cut of the batch is Acuna. (Sorry prospect fans, actualized, performing studs get preference.)
Tom T.
4:18
Should I trade Gerrit Cole for Devers and Sixton Sanchez in a dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:18
YES
Go!
Ronald Acuna McDonaldson
4:18
*Sorry must eliminate 2*
Brad Johnson
4:18
Oh, that's so much easier.
Hooha
4:18
Any love for Betts 4th overall in a 5x5?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Yea, he's fine there
there's a clump of guys who can go 3rd to 14th or so
4:19
Trout and Altuve are your only must-select players
Erik

I can't find many articles out there on the general approach to an auction draft. When do you nominate guys you love vs. guys you hope others will overpay for? Do you always start by nominating the best players or do you start off with some under-the-radar guys?
Brad Johnson
4:19
I used to write about this a lot. It's all mind games so go with what makes you feel confident and in control.
4:20
I have a lot of deep keeper leagues in which I keep most of budget. So I'm sitting and waiting four hours for dollar days
4:21
I like to nominate from my list of $1 players in order of preference. A lot of them will go for $10+
Karen Walker
4:21
What are your thoughts on Rosario's job security and lineup spot with the Mets?
Brad Johnson
4:21
Relatively secure, depending on the status of the rest of the team. 7th or 8th in the lineup. Bad production.
4:22
Could get demoted now that they got Frazier. Reyes and friends sounds like a nightmare from Mets past, but it may outperform Rosario in the short term
Anthony
4:23
Ottoneu FGPts (12 team) with an offline MiLB draft. All of the 2017 draft is in play...Hunter Greene seems like the obvious 1st pick in the draft, who are another few names we should target?
Brad Johnson
4:23
I'll brb, I have a sheet for this.
4:25
Keston Hiura and Jo Adell are guys I like more than their draft position.
4:26
Pavin Smith could move pretty fast, albeit with a good rather than great profile. I like Jeren Kendall's upside.
4:27
I try to avoid pitchers, but Greene is pretty tempting #1
Erik
4:27
In a league where you can keep a lot of guys, do you aim to trade aggressively to make sure you have exactly that number of guys you want to keep, or are you content to keep an extra few slots open?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Depends on the opportunity cost of those slots.
I do like all my keepers to be in the top X where X=the number of players kept
Tim T.
4:29
I'm in a dynasty league that counts OPS and TB. I have plenty of power and Kersh, Klub, CMart. I need a speed guy so trying to get Marte by trading Devers. Guy wants CMart for Marte which is fair but I love CMart. I'm working on trading Devers for Gerrit Cole so that I can trade Cole for Marte. Does this make sense for me? Sorry for the confusing question
Brad Johnson
4:29
I would hunt for cheaper SB...
I assume this is Starling you're talking about
4:30
I've never liked his offensive profile, it's not far removed from no-power and no-OBP
Ryan M
4:31
Are you marinating the chicken for 24 hours? Or...
Brad Johnson
4:31
2 or 3
Yep, I'm still at 4:03 in the chat. Maybe I should start hopping forward
Harry
4:31
Austin Barnes in an 6x6 roto with OBP is a top ___ catcher this year.
Brad Johnson
4:31
5?
4:32
Depends on how the Dodgers use him. I could totally see him only getting 350 plate appearances in a share with Grandal
That's annoying as hell for us, but it's a great optimization for the Dodgers.
Erik
4:32
Is there an auction calculator out there that can handle dynasty leagues? If not, do you have a general rule for how to adjust the calculator's results for dynasty leagues? Add like 10 bucks to under-27 stars and subtract like 10 for guys over 32 or so?
Brad Johnson
4:33
We've talked about adapting one. But no, not that I'm aware of. One of us would need to have enough free time to herd all the cats involved in building it out.
Eloy, Matey!
