We'll get this thing going in a few minutes. I got lost in the news of the day and forgot to put this post together.

If you didn't vote in this morning's poll, I'd appreciate the info. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/highly-custom-leagues-a-desirability-pol...

Do you buy into the Conforto breakout I’ve seen in numerous publications in 2019?
Brad Johnson
4:01
Wasn't really a breakout. He was good. Then he played injured for half a season. Then he was good again. So I think he's still a good player
4:02
You should expect more than his 2018 production but a little less than his second half production. That's a very useful fantasy asset and better than his current ADP.

What does Padres infield look like now?  Does this delay Tatis?
Brad Johnson
4:02
I don't think so, but I always assumed Tatis would get Vladitoed unless the Padres need him for contention
4:03
In that sense, Tatis may be closer to the majors now
It doesn't much matter where Machado/Urias play between SS/3B

Brad Keller is either your relative or your favorite player. You dont find that having someone throw 120 innings of 6.5k/9 a huge hole to dig out of? Yes you can use 10K+ relievers, but so does everyone else
Brad Johnson
4:04
I'm not even the highest on Keller. Talk to Jeff Zimmerman if you want to chat with somebody in dripping love with him.
4:05
I only think he's a playable late draft guy, a spot which will probably turn into a streamer in most 12-team formats
I've been trying to trade a 34th round pick for him in a 20-team dynasty
These are hardly outlandish valuations
4:06
That said, I do see about 7.7 K/9 with positive value ERA and WHIP in 12-team (and no wins)
The stuff was better than the strikeout rate last year
Centerfield
4:06
Are you buying the Nick Senzel possibility of breaking camp with the Reds?  And if so, expectations for a full season in his rookie year?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Not really, he needs some injury help at this point
Jack

Can Glasnow finally reach his projected phenom status in year 2 post Pittsburgh?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Nah, at best he's bad Lance McCullers
I'm not confident he'll average over 5 IP per start
or follow
Nelson
4:07
Do you think the scarcity of top round 1B options is a blip or a real baseball trend that will last for a long time? I dont see too many young 1B sluggers on the horizon.
Brad Johnson
4:07
Blip
4:08
What you'll see is some of these big slugging middle infielders sliding to 1B. Like Daniel Murphy.
Rusted Root

As a White Sox fan, talk me off the ledge
Brad Johnson
4:09
So much for stupid money
I never really thought Reinsdorf would pony up the $300MM. Sounds like he at least made a competitive offer in the end.

Dealt an expensive JTR and Snell and a fair market value Correa for ultra cheap Scherzer/Clevinger/DeJong.  12 tm 5x5 Dynasty. I did okay, no?
Brad Johnson
4:11
That's a complicated swap...
In that you accomplished your goal of cutting costs, I think you did well
4:12
You seem to give up both present and future production to accomplish it, but we're missing the players you buy with the savings
Daniel Castro
4:12
I'm in the Dodgers' system now. Will they be the ones to let me mash, Brad?
Brad Johnson
4:12
Hey, if anybody can teach you how to mash, it's the Dodgers
That's an automatic 5 point increase to power on the 20/80 scale
Not Ben Kaspick
4:13
Who are you targeting in the Screw Cancer draft tonight?  Asking for a friend
Brad Johnson
4:13
Have you looked at my roster? I'm picking like 13 $1 players or something
I'll do the prep during the draft while y'all bid like animals
Ryan

What are some post 250ADP arms (besides Brad Keller) you like as SP depth?
