Yandy Diaz... do you think he has a mini breakout this season and becomes useful for fantasy?
Brad Johnson
4:36
In a sufficiently deep league
4:37
I think for 12-team, his best use is as a AVG streamer
Since he lacks HR or SB
I don't think the Rays will teach him to hit fly balls.
In fact, I think they want him around to pair against fly ball pitchers which are pretty common in the AL East.
4:38
In which case they'll want him to keep the GB swing

20 team Keep forever categories. Is my JD for Chapman and Eloy a fair deal? Which side wins? Is JD and McCullers for Chapman and Eloy too much?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Matt Chapman? Aroldis?
4:39
Assuming Matt, I really like that kiddie side of the swap. Either scenario.
JDM is obviously incredible so I could see passing for 2019 purposes
Psst, this is the kind of offer I want for JDM in Devil's Rejects

Follow-up: are large swings in perception over classes of players (prospects vs. vet pitchers vs. vet hitters) a common occurrence in dynasty leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:40
Not really, unless you're starting with a league of newbies
Then they might learn to adjust their redraft preferences en masse
But the idea that young hitters are everything and all else is noise is pretty firmly entrenched
To a way over-extreme

Will Fangraphs be hosting the SaberSim DFS projections again?
Brad Johnson
4:41
I hope so. I haven't heard otherwise.
Vegan Man!

Would you rather have Xander or Blackmon in a 12 team OPS roto? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:41
Blackmon for 2019
Desirability Poll
4:41
Maybe that makes me less of a human, though, so no biggie?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Or more? (re: no twitter account)
4:42
I hate Twitter. I wouldn't have any social media if not for work.
Bad Timing
4:42
Think Reyes gets the open rotation spot now? Thoughts on his value if yes?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I think they'll acquire a guy. Reyes maybe has 100 IP to give this year
Antonio Brown
4:42
Jose De Leon have any impact this season? He was pretty big prospect before TJ.
Brad Johnson
4:43
Overhyped. He was a fringe swingman/reliever whose MiLB stat line confused a bunch of folk
Was never actually a good fantasy prospect
4:44
I think he's out until May/July if memory serves
Maybe a follower once he's back?

Struggling with my last keeper between Albies in the 8th and Carpenter in the 11th. Other keepers are Betts, JDM, Bregman, 12 team.
Brad Johnson
4:45
I'd do Carp.
Ancient Mariner
4:45
Do you believe Nelson Cruz is good for 30hr and 100rbi this year?
Brad Johnson
4:45
More or less
Mr_Pine

Can you list your favorite of these 3 in order for fantasy purposes, please.  Bunes, Paddack, Keller.
Brad Johnson
4:45
Who did you mean by Bunes. My brain isn't autocorrecting that for some reason.
Paddack is miles ahead of Keller.
Jung Ho Kang Bang
4:46
Can you justify targeting de Grom over Scherer or Sale in an auction?
Brad Johnson
4:46
If you take a shrug approach to pitching, they're similar enough to not fuss about which one you get
Connecting…
