hah

In no particular order: Zach Eflin, Steven Matz, Trevor/Taylor Williams, Kyle Gibson, Trevor Cahill, Marco Gonzales, Anibal Sanchez, Mike Soroka, Luke Weaver, Michael Fulmer, Touki, Stroman, Woodruff...
It goes on, that's just the guys rated 250 to 325
4:16
There's no shortage of back end patches this year. Looks like a deep post-Glob to me

For those of us dealing with innings cap the low k rates make otherwise decent pitchers unplayable. May be some source of disagreements.
Brad Johnson
4:17
True, though this all depends on your roster. If you have a bunch of 10 K/9 SP, you can protect your ratios with a 6.5 K/9 guy and still lead Ks.

Nimmo and Arrieta or Porcello in a 14 team dynasty points league? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:17
Nimmo and cut those SP?
Seriously though, Nimmo is an asset. The other two are just veteran guys.
Mannywood
4:17
All this talk of Manny arriving in SD, how about some catcher talk?  What are your thoughts on a full season of Francisco Mejia?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Not what you want to hear.
4:19
He had serious contact issues last year. He got WAY worse as a batter.
There's a reason the Indians sold
The good news is I think he probably just over-sold out for power
and that should be fixable
But it could take years
4:20
Take a flier anyway since catcher is a wasteland
chet

5yr of Mondesi for 5 years of Puig & 1yr of Bogaerts. 6x6 (walks). $$ immaterial. Which side do you like?
Brad Johnson
4:20
If you're contending, gimme the Bogaerts side
Otherwise, gamble on Mondesi
Wilfredo
4:20
Sooooo..... is there a possibility of ZERO current suitors for Harper now?
Brad Johnson
4:21
Nah. He'll get $320MM or so from the Phillies when the dust clears

How high would you bump up Gallo in an OPS roto league? 2 rounds? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:22
Um...
I have a link for you. Find Gallo's name.
That's not an optimized assessment. I just used the base inputs.
But you're going to find Gallo is a top 10 hitter in most permutations you run.
Dynasty Q
4:23
Dynasty Question: How do you handle awful trade offers from the same team repeatedly, even in spite of feedback that you're not interested? (For example, received an offer of Tanner Roark and Tim Anderson for Mookie, which was one of the better offers haha).
Brad Johnson
4:23
No comment rejections for about 3 times
Then just leave it open
4:24
And if you're feeling like a real ass, make them think you're close to pulling the trigger
Honestly, I'd probably do more of that if I had the time.
Brad's left pinky toe
4:24
What are your thoughts on Eddie Rosario's 1st half/2nd half splits last year?
Brad Johnson
4:25
I wouldn't fuss about them. There's no obvious explanations like with Conforto or Cesar Hernandez. So it's probably just statistical noise
He *looks* like a streaky player to me, so don't be surprised if he has ups and downs again
Dyna-steal

keep forever, keep all league.  In trying to simplifying a 10x10 league. Best category to drop in given todays game (opener strategy), IP, W, or QS?
Brad Johnson
4:26
Keep IP and maybe combine W and QS into W+QS
There are various formulas you can use if you're on FanTrax

12 team points, pick 2: $11 Conforto, $11 Gallo, $21 Albies, no negatives for strikeouts.
