The main thing is to just stay active and on top of bullpen usage patterns.
4:35
I find it tedious, but thankfully I'm paid to do it. I'd probably just wing it otherwise.
Machadres

RE Devers there's a lot in hist statistical profile indicating he should've hit more HR last year, and many have written how a minor launch angle tweak would put him over 40 pretty easily
Brad Johnson
4:36
Yea, more power is definitely possible. But it's such a tough stadium on power that betting sub-30 HR is super easy imo.
Lefty power that is
Behold!
or don't. Apparently I can't paste images
4:37
Coulda sworn I could
Rangers signed him
Probably not the most ideal landing place, but there is a path for him to scrabble past Ronald Guzman and various utility men
Greater Than Zorro
4:38
Range of outcomes for Jameson Taillon this year?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Does not pitch to does not pitch

Thoughts on Stanton this year? Kind of forgotten, after a forgetable 2019?
Brad Johnson
4:38
not by his 53 ADP
4:39
I really like sluggers like Stanton this year. I want power hitters whose output won't slump based on the ball
Because even if the year starts with the 2019 ball, I strongly suspect it'll be phased out by the end.

Thoughts on Galvis - he is currently the everyday SS, right? But if the reds find themselves in contention, thats an easy upgrade spot.  Worth keeping at $10?
Brad Johnson
4:39
In NL Only? Probably about par value.
4:40
Cut him loose in anything else. Worst case, you redraft for the same.
H2H
4:40
How do you typically breakdown your H/P spend % in a h2h $260 auction?
Brad Johnson
4:40
Well... I tend to go rogue with a 20/80 split if the league is towards the shallow side of things (12-team mixed or shallower)
4:41
I'm partly counting on nobody else doing this.
So you end up getting a ton of early ace wins at only a few bucks over
while everybody is carefully spending all their cash on bats
Me being me, I also have to constantly check to see if somebody has decided to troll me in the draft.
4:42
It's not like I'm quiet about this being my go-to in shallow H2H
So it only takes one "price enforcer" to send me to Plan B

In re: to sluggers that you like whose power won't be messed up by a deader ball, does that mean you are in at the sophomore buying price of The Polar Bear?
Brad Johnson
4:43
Eh, I think I find myself preferring the older class (Stanton, JDM, Cruz) and Gallo. I tend to avoid hyped sophomores.
Roy
4:43
Favorite OF sleepers around 150-300ADP?
Brad Johnson
4:45
McCutchen (199 ADP), Eaton (206), JUpton (227), Avisail (234), Choo (249), Riley (264)
I detect a pattern!
Red Sox
4:45
How many wins is Mookie really worth?  Will our forecasted win total go up or down?  Is this the Bryce Harper effect?  Win the World Series without your best player?
Brad Johnson
4:46
Yea, good luck replacing Betts with your version of Juan Soto and Victor Robles
It's pure loss for Boston
Anonymous

gimme your free, late-round catcher you're plugging in as your starter
Brad Johnson
4:46
For 12-team mixed, I want Sean Murphy shares.
4:47
For 2 C, I'll take a stab at a Tom Murphy reunion, although I feel like I should just take my 2019 winnings and never look back to him.
