I'm just screwing around with Twitter instead of finishing my player caps so let's just get this ball rolling.
Michael Chavis
3:49
Downs and Verdugo stocks would go way up with a trade to BOS right?  Even though it's not the best park for Verdugo at least he'd get the playing time
Brad Johnson
3:49
Absolutely. Boston has a thin farm system whereas the Dodgers not only have a trove of prospects, they also keep minting all these excellent not-prospects.
3:50
They have a small horde just waiting to climb over the walls of Triple-A.
Really, they'd crush the Tigers and Orioles.
Reds

Are you staying away from eugenio suarez or looking to pounce if his ADP drops to about 80-90 (i think it’s in the 40s or so now)?
Brad Johnson
3:50
Well yes.
There is a point where I'm back in. It's not at full price which is probably late-40s.
3:51
Somewhere around 75?
Reds Faithful

What do you see as Senzel's short term and long term outlook at this point?
Brad Johnson
3:51
I saw somebody trying to comp him to Suarez today. I'm not really here for that.

My latest Podcast guest believes he'll be a good college coach or a surgeon. https://www.patreon.com/posts/33612382
Personally, I find myself a little confused by his profile. Kinda JD Davis with some SBs?
3:53
Seems like a legit high BABIP guy based on low-angle contact. Probably going to be disappointed on power even if the exit velocity is nice.

12 team 6x6 roto (OPS + QS added). Keep 2. Devers round 10, Yordan round 11, Bieber round 13. Who's the cut? I will be picking 12th. What would you do there?
Brad Johnson
3:53
I take it a trade isn't really an option.
3:54
I'm not sure I have the heart to cut any of them on your behalf. Kinda lean Devers if I MUST choose.
3:55
You Must Cut One!

In a 12-team H2H points league, I have two keeper spots left for Bauer, Severino, Lynn or Giolito. Which two do I pick?
Brad Johnson
3:55
EZ Sevy
3:56
Then decide if you want to bet on Bauer rediscovering his mojo or Giolito maintaining his breakout. I lean Giolito personally.
Might be a case for Lynn if you're only concerned about 2020.
But even then I prefer the others.

Dusty kind of has a reputation for preferring vets over young guys.  What does his hire do for Kyle Tucker's playing time situation (if anything)?
Brad Johnson
3:56
Tucker was already going to have to break through a logjam by mashing. And if he does, Dusty will play him.
3:57
This is Dusty's reputation, but if memory serves, he was happy enough to use elite prospects. It was those interesting fringe guys we're always clamoring to set free who will suffer #RIPMylesStaw

Amed Rosario worth $10 in NL only league?
Brad Johnson
3:57
Probably worth nearer to $20
Anders

Am I being dumb for clutching my Musgrove and Keller pearls right now? Had a lot of offers for them in my dynasty league, but I'm feeling pretty confident in them.
Brad Johnson
3:58
Just depends on the offers
Vic
3:58
I don't understand why so many are down on Benintendi?
Brad Johnson
3:58
Well he was really bad... That said, I'm buying at the same price I was buying last year. Granted, I landed zero new shares due to the hype being a little out of control.
Vic
3:58
Amed or Franmil?
Brad Johnson
3:59
Quick try to pick two more dissimilar players.
The answer is usually going to be Amed, he's just a better roto asset.
But if you're hurting for HR, you might have to take a shot at the 40 HR upside
He's BSHOL!
DH
3:59
Do you foresee Aquino getting enough time this season to be an asset?
Brad Johnson
4:00
Later, possibly. Not to draft in non-deep formats

Was planning on Benintendi as my last keeper in a OBP roto league, but I'm seeing a lot of people down on him (thinking of switching him out for Kyle Tucker).  Was thinking more about it and he doesn't seem all that dissimilar from Adam Eaton (who I certainly wouldn't be looking at as a keeper) other than the health.  Is there real upside either in speed or power with him or am I safe to cut him loose in a league that keeps about 100-110 guys?
