Brad Johnson
4:40
But they happen
4:41
I'm not worried
Well, I'm not worried any more than I usually worry about SP
He's in the ace-but-not-monster-ace asset class
Vogelbach Truther
4:41
Dereck Rodriguez or Marco Gonzales for next year?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I'd go Gonzales. Better supporting crew. Better pitcher.
Pat's Bat
4:42
10 team H2H dynasty.  Each team runs 7 to 11 SP.  Would you keep the following:  Darvish $12, Stripling $1, Nelson $1?  I guess this question is a proxy for how many IP you think these guys will get.
Brad Johnson
4:42
Can I assume a $260 budget? Yes. Only possible cut is Nelson.
Moose
4:42
Is 3rd overall too early for Acuna in a dynasty league?
Brad Johnson
4:42
No. He'll probably go first or second though.
4:43
He has in just about all of the leagues that I've peeked in on
PJ
4:43
Kyle Tucker or David Dahl in a keep forever roto league?
Brad Johnson
4:43
EZ Tucker for me
Dante
4:43
NL only roto keeper league, G Hampson or AJ Minter?
Brad Johnson
4:43
I kinda want to gamble on Hampson finding light over Minter being a just-solid closer whenever Arodys is next injured.
4:44
Minter is probably more likely to reach our expectations for him (15-20 saves, solid ratios)
Hampson might barely play
Or hit 10 HR with 25 SB and good run production
flop
4:44
Severino and Rich Hill for L. Castillo and A. Reyes in dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Gimme the Sevvy side
Rick Sanchez
4:45
Is Kluber and Royce Lewis Too much for Vlad Jr in an OPS heavy dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Too little
Brad J.
4:45
Would you trad Kluber straight up for any of the following pitchers in a keep forever if you're competing? Nola, Cole, Snell, Bauer, Thor, or Buehler?
Brad Johnson
4:45
All but Bauer (the injury scare) and Thor (injuries and he's not as good as people think)
4:46
To be clear, Thor is a good pitcher. But the league adjusted to elite velocity while he missed a bunch of time
He didn't get to adjust with the hitters - and his success is almost all velo.
Carl
4:46
Vlad or Acuna in dynasty (Points)
Brad Johnson
4:46
POINTS!!!
Sorry Acuna, gimme Vladito
4:47
A lot of Acuna's value comes from SB (which I think will all but vanish with 4 years anyway)
Adam Levine's Nipples

Brad, thanks for the chat. Thoughts on Gregory Polanco as an OF1 and Max Kepler as an OF2 in a keep forever dynasty format, 30 teams?  Hitting categories: RBI, R, HR, SB, and OBP. Do you like one better than the other? Who has more upside?
Brad Johnson
4:47
Polanco is more likable and upsidey
4:48
likable is a weird word and seemingly means the same as lickable in my head
which only adds to the weird
I think Kepler is at risk of vanishing into backup land at any moment. But for a 30 team format, he's an acceptable OF2
Wally World
4:48
Who are you next favorite prospects after Vlad in FGpts?  Options include: Eloy, Tatis, Senzel, Hiura, Whitley, Tucker, Bichette, Franco, Luzardo
Brad Johnson
4:49
I'm a little more willing to go bold on pitching prospects in FGpts.
So Whitley is right up there with Eloy and perhaps Franco
Luzardo on the edge of that group too.
I don't have any surprise names to add to what you listed.
