There's no guarantee Hampson ever starts. The Rockies actually ARE a second division team, and they're still intentionally blocking him.
And they tend to keep their prospects even though they don't use 'em
They're weird.

Who should I take 1st in my Roto minor league draft? Bichette, Kirilloff, Whitely, Adell?
Brad Johnson
4:59
Ooh that's a nice list.
Not Adell
I prefer bats 9 times out of 10, but if your roster is light on SP, Whitley could be worth the gamble
Scotts Tots

Ryan Pressly, Jace Fry, Jose Castillo, Keone Kela, Carl Edwards Jr., Richard Rodriguez. One can't be rostered... Which one?
Brad Johnson
5:00
Fry, Rodriguez, Edwards
Just make sure you keep Pressly and Kela actually
The others are just guys. Without researching, Rodriguez looks like the low man.

Carrasco/Severino seem like they have worrisome inconsistency with some pitches (four-seamer/slider). Help me set better odds about them finding a consistent feel all season.
Brad Johnson
5:01
No. You're right that they have some inconsistency. Carrasco's fastball is a below average pitch. Sevvy's is more variable because his command wanders.

How can you do a chat and be on the clock in 3 drafts? Guess that's why you are a pro and I am not.  C.Martinez or A.Reyes in a dynasty?
Brad Johnson
5:02
They're slow drafts. They're just going to have to wait.
I'm sure there's a Greek parable for this question.
5:03
I would need to do a lot more research to perceive which is the better long term play
My shrug answer is Reyes
Alex the great

What kind of prospect package should I expect for Machado in dynasty? Rebuilding and looking to trade him for a haul.
Brad Johnson
5:04
Depends on league depth. In a 12-team, something like Eloy, Whitley, Kirilloff, and Lewis.
5:05
In a 20-team, maybe one of those and three more from the Jesus Sanchez/Ke'Bryan Hayes tier
And...I strongly recommend you try adding something to Machado for an even better MLBer like Acuna or Soto.
5:06
It's usually better to aggregate than disaggregate, even when trying to rebuild

Do you think Almora Jr. could ever break out and be roto or points relevant?
Brad Johnson
5:06
I won't rule it out
It's not especially likely or anything, but he's young and has some talent.
5:07
And I think starting and stopping today's chat on Almora is sufficiently weird.
Legit the first and last questions I received.
