You really have five other top 20 players?
4:43
I'd have a very hard time quitting Ohtani's Top 1 potential, but Bieber is also very good. And is basically the only young pitcher besides Nola who is allowed to throw 200 IP.
I assume it's daily moves or else it's easily Bieber

16 team h2h obp league. My offense is loaded. Been approached about dealing Judge. Would you take Julio Rodriguez and Logan Gilbert? Judge’s injury history and now a shoulder issue scare me.
Brad Johnson
4:44
imo, that's a light offer in a 16-team league.
I've been chewing on offers of JRod for my Bryce Harper in a 20-team OBPer. Ultimately stepped away from it.
4:45
One more piece might get it done. Something young and solid like Bryan Reynolds for example?

Is this the antsiest time of the year for keeper/dynasty leagues? I feel I'm just waiting to see which of my guys randomly get hurt during spring
Brad Johnson

Join more leagues, then every injury will impact at least one of your teams and you become numb.
mmm numbness

Where are you taking Gallo In a 6x6 league with OBP and SLG (no AVG.)?
Brad Johnson
4:46
Early!
4:47
Like 14th? I don't know for sure offhand.
I might be a Gallo truther though.

Chris Sale worth the risk as your SP1 if your SP2-4 are ranked in the 30-50 range?
Brad Johnson
4:48
I wouldn't worry about role assignment. Category management is what matters.
Sometimes you *have* to bet on the best outcomes of certain players because that's the hand you've been dealt. So based on your existing pitchers and alternatives to Sale, maybe you have to try to make him work.
If that makes sense.

Any non-closer relievers you like on talent, forgetting role? Guys like Pomeranz or Poche.
Brad Johnson
4:49
Oh, so many.
That's probably an article.
4:50
I'll tease one I stumbled over the other day though... Rafael Dolis quietly signed with Toronto over the winter. Upper-90s bowling ball and a wipeout slider. Might be a little pitch-to-contact with the heater but could fly up that bullpen - especially if Giles is healthy enough to trade or unhealthy enough to hit the IL.
It's a deep-deep play

12 team acution draft. $400 cap, have $87 available to fill 16 spots on my roster. I need a #1 or #2 SP. Degrom, Sherzer, Gienke, Sale, Kershaw, and Bumgarner available. Who do you take and what is your max bid?
League is also FIP based in its points scoring
Brad Johnson
4:51
Pay what you have to for deGrom. Fill a bunch of spots with $1 guys. You're basically playing ottoneu. Those $1 finds turn into very useful trading pieces when they click.

Do you like Andres Munoz in SV+HLDS leagues or is he too buried in the SD depth chart? Love the upside personally.
Brad Johnson
4:52
I do. One of the first names I would cover in a non-CL RP article.

A friend mentioned to me that Villar is going to play center? Have you heard this?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Was widely reported yesterday.
It's not set in stone, but that's Plan A.
4:53
Which means Jon Berti's path to serious playing time is shorter than expected.
Just needs to sneak past Isan Diaz.

So who has more HRs for Yankees? Judge or Stanton? and will they lead the team in bombs or someone else?
Brad Johnson
4:53
I'll say Judge and somebody else!

Which top 20 SP do think will disappoint the most this year?
Brad Johnson
4:54
I think Nola or Paddack are the obvious weak links.
And I like them plenty
But the answer is really just - whoever is hurt.
4:55
Maybe Giolito fooled us all, but I don't think that's what happened.
