Not yet. I haven't really looked into it yet, but you can't always trust these spring guns
Dano
4:26
Aside from bad first start, why no Ponce de Leon talk to replace Carlos Martinez?
Brad Johnson
4:26
I don't know many people who think he's a SP.
Shaw
4:26
Why isn't Travis Shaw ranked higher at 2B?  Guy will hit 30+ HR.
Brad Johnson
4:26
My guess is because there's a risk he simply doesn't start against LHP
But I don't do the rankings.
Peppercorns
4:26
Have you ever played played in NFBC Main, and do you view it as the most prestigious league that is publicly accessible?
Brad Johnson
4:27
I have not, and yes, that's probably true.
Shenanigans

RE: Kershaw above, Cain for Kershaw smell "low" enough in an OPS H2H Dynasty? Aim lower? I have Robles and D. Santana on my bench, so I could likely survive the OF hit.
Brad Johnson
4:28
Aim lower initially. Or for more back in exchange for Cain.
Chris Taylor
4:28
An I worth taking as a MI this year?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Yes, depending on the format. You'll play and post some numbers.
Bud Selig
4:29
With the rumors about a new stadium in Long Beach for the Angels, I had a sudden and shocking vision of Trout and Harper hitting B2B one day, perhaps once they rid themselves of Pujols and his laughable contract.  Crazy talk?
Brad Johnson
4:29
I'm sure Phillies fans are wondering what Long Beach has to do with it.

what should my general strategy be for a 12 tm roto but OPS instead of avg? Spreadsheet that weighs HR more?
Brad Johnson
4:30
No, use OPS directly
It will favor HR hitters
Joey Gallo is a monster...
Muncy
4:30
Can Muncy repeat his 2018?
Brad Johnson
4:30
I wouldn't say a repeat is in order. That's almost like asking Voit to repeat.
He'll be very good.
Kershaw
4:30
Glasnow for Kershaw? Would you take that?
Brad Johnson
4:30
Yes
4:31
But I don't think Glasnow is especially viable
A lot of my colleagues think he's actually good

Joining a start up H2H league and helping choose categories. Offense has been relatively easy - OBP, R, SLG, RBI, and SB. Pitching not so much. Currently at ERA, WHIP, SV+H. Our goal is to make sure RPs aren't overly valuable. How would you approach choosing the final two categories to make sure an RP only strategy isn't the best one
Sorry hit enter too quick how would you choose the last two pitching categories to keep RPs and SPs on a level playing field?
Brad Johnson
4:32
If you're on FanTrax, you can use weighting and formulas
For example, SV+1/2H
4:33
I'd stick to the basics with W and K
Or dump holds
Which restricts the supply of RP who contribute to that category
Auction
4:34
What is your preferred nomination strategy in an auction?
Brad Johnson
4:35
First choice is stars and scrubs focused on hitters
But I use a wide variety depending on the format and my portfolio
Broom
4:35
Any concern Kluber or Blackmon will fall off a cliff statistically?
Brad Johnson
4:36
That's a risk with virtually any player, but it's a small risk
More worried about Kluber than Blackmon, and I'm not actually worried about either of them
Maceo
4:36
Rebuilding Dynasty here......Ian Anderson/Adell for my Ozuna/Taillon....what say you?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Super weak offer
Connecting…
