I think you should hold Darvish
4:59
Because right now you can get like maybe Jonathan Schoop or another similarly busted player
But if he rebounds, he's a top 15 pitcher in a pitching starved league
(I actually like Schoop's rebound potential if that's on the table)
Hey Zeus

NL only keeper league.  Pick 6 to keep Ozzie Albies, David Dahl, Wil Myers, Michael Conforto, AJ Pollock, Corey Seager, Miles Mikolas, Patrick Corbin, German Marquez.  Thanks!
Brad Johnson
5:00
Oof, that's a lot of nice names
Albies, Conforto, Pollock, Seager, Corbin and choose your favority
I left off Myers because I think a trade to the AL could come this season
Marquez is lovely but Coors Field is not
5:01
Mikolas is maybe a little too command dependent for my liking (see Hendricks)
And I'm a renowned Dahl Doubter
Baseball THOT
5:01
Is David Dahl going to break out this year or will I continue to live with broken dreams?
Brad Johnson
5:01
He'll be fine if they let him play
I expect him to fall well short of lofty expectations

If you don’t use rankings or tiers, what do you use? ADP? Isn’t that just a form of rankings?
Brad Johnson
5:02
I draft stats
and optimize for needs once those become apparent
Buston
5:02
Any chance Buxton becomes something of what was expected?
Brad Johnson
5:02
He could be pretty similar to what everybody is drafting Adalberto Mondesi to do
or not remotely playable
5:03
At their costs, I'll prefer Buxton to Mondesi most times
Though you don't have the luxury of knowing you'll get Buxton when it's time to pick Mondesi
Hey Zeus
5:03
I know...
SP
5:03
Are you out on Kershaw and MadBum?
Brad Johnson
5:03
I'm in on Kershaw
Super in
5:04
Out on MadBum
Kershaw is like SP10 and still has SP1 potential. There's a good 20-25% of outcomes that involve a full healthy season and huge stats
5:05
And all but the worst outcomes are still top 30

Hi Brad. I give my Harper for Baez/Severino? 12 team OBP keeper, thanks!
Brad Johnson
5:05
Nooo
Keep Harper in OBP
Baez is a landmine
Baseball THOT

Which Padres OF are you hyped on? Seems like everyone has a pet cat in that outfield
Brad Johnson
5:05
I'm big on Travis Jankowski personally
5:06
Actually, I would bet that I own the record for most mentions of Travis Jankowski on the internet, excluding Padres beat writers.
In all seriousness, it's an interesting collection of players, but it's tough to tell which is a starter and which is a backup
5:07
they might all be backup quality. They might all be starter quality.

Can you explain your take on rankings? You say you draft stats, but are guys listed in an order? Curious as to what you mean.

That's more of a full article, one I've written several times but I don't recall a corresponding title
