Probably can flip for the other honestly. Do you want utility or mondo-consistency?
Hank

Is Devers too much of a reach as a keeper in a 12 man categories league? Only 4 keepers and it would be over Nola and maybe Pollock
Brad Johnson
4:48
Eh, I think those are all comparably valued players for that format even though they're very different. I don't really expect Devers to be a top 48 player long term. More like top 75
But the same can be said of the other 2

how long do you think sano gets suspended for?
Brad Johnson
4:49
50 games?
Is there any rhyme or reason to the policy?

I'm in an ottoneu league that carried an empty team last year that now has an active manager with $400. What sort of inflation should be built into this year's auction?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Oh god...
I have no idea what that's going to do
it should be hilarious though
Erik

Sorry for asking too many questions and feel free to ignore the rest! I figured I'd ask 6 and you'd answer 1 or 2. (No need to post this, obviously, but thanks for your helpful answers!)

What are your thoughts on Kenley Jansen as a first round pick in a 20 team - points pool with 1400 innings cap? Top 30 in points while only pitching 60ish innings
Brad Johnson
4:51
I wanted to name one of my teams Travis Kershawshank Claydemption, but the other guy wouldn't give me Shaw.
4:52
Oh, your question...
I'd still be wary of putting that much pressure on a reliever. Second or third round sounds more sane.

Fantasy question. Which side do you have in a 6x6 rotisserie dynasty, Schoop for Severino
Brad Johnson
4:53
Glad the type of question was specified. I've been drowning in reality questions today.
That trade looks like a push to me.
Without knowing more.

Andrus rankings all over the place so far this offseason... what do you expect out of him in 2018?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Keeps most but not all of the HR, loses 20 points of average, otherwise, the same as always
Chaz
4:54
Thoughts on Matt Chapman in Dynasty - keep 20?  How does he stack up vs Castellanos?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Chapman>>>Castellanos. He's a top 10 dynasty 3B. Castellanos is likely to lose the eligibility.

Would you rather build around Mookie Betts or Nolan Arenado in a 12 team 5x5 roto mixed league (with OBP rather than BA) over the next couple of years?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Betts, no question
I always prefer to build around 5 category guys
Dougie

What do you think of Jon Gray this year? Odd reverse home/road splits
Brad Johnson
4:55
Yes. Odd. I'm taking a wait and see approach. I like the stuff.
Estevao
4:55
This is pretty funny
WAR as a batter since 2015

MadBum: 2.7

Alcides Escobar: 2.5

wRC+ by year:

MadBum: 104(15)   70(16)   86(17)

Escobar: 66(15)  69(16)  62(17)

I have nothing against Escobar, i'm sure he is a great guy, but c'mon
4:56
Fantasy Alert: Yadier Molina led all catchers in baseball in 2017 with 9 Stolen Bases,
Brad Johnson
4:56
Estevao has switched roles from the guy who spams links to the guy who provides fun facts. Nice adaptation!
Matt

Dynasty league - Evaluate our first every 3-Team trade!
Team A: Get $24 Pollock, $5 Moose/ Give $16 Rendon
Team B: $6 Inciarte / $24 Pollock
Team C: $16 Rendon / $6 Inciarte, $5 Moose

Team B has mostly a full team, won last year, and needed to cut salary. Team A was me, acknowledging a potential sell off next year. Team C needed a solid bat, and couldn't take on much salary. (12-team roto, OBP & TB instead of AVG & HR)
Brad Johnson
4:58
If I had to pick a loser, it's team A. I'd have wanted like 5% more for Rendon. Like a $20 Pollock instead. Basically, it's a fine swap.
Potato
4:58
Any reason to expect regression from Encarnacion? Or does he still get 30 HR/100 RBI again
Brad Johnson
4:58
I mean, guy is old.
Jazzflute
4:58
Would you trade Devers and Dee Gordon for C. Seager in an OBP dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:58
That is very tempting. But only if you're rebuilding. Or have a ton of SB from other sources.
Detroit Mike
4:59
Am I the only one concerned about Goldy?  Stolen bases have gone down from 32 to 18, talk of a humidor, just turned 30...
Brad Johnson
4:59
Probably. Yes, we should probably stop expecting the steals. They were always a bonus. He's an insane hitter.
