Do you think karinchak closes in cleveland at some point?
Brad Johnson
4:43
I'm not entirely out on Hand, but Karinchak does look like the obvious analog to 2019 Nick Anderson at the very least.
So you might as well bet on it and bank the stats.
georrrrrr
4:43
Not hearing as much about Japanese rookies this season. Any names I should be thinking about in the later rounds?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, Kwang-Hyun Kim (Korean, technically), Shun Yamaguchi (has looked rough in ST).
Nick
4:45
Another not-so thinly veiled dynasty question - most likely to be a closer for multiple seasons: E. Clase, A. Munoz, Ginkel, Graterol
Brad Johnson
4:45
Munoz and Graterol imo
But they're all excellent gambles.
Ginkel is the one who doesn't just dominate through force of will. He's all about the slider.
4:46
The others are incredible in a traditional power sense.

speaking of solak, is he worth 10 in an al only? I picked him up at that last yr and trying to decide whether to keep or throw back
Brad Johnson
4:46
yes, keep.

Who's the best Dodger RP to pick up for HLDs? thanks
Brad Johnson
4:46
that's... tough.
4:47
There are 3 OD options who could turn into the 8th inning guy - Pedro Baez, Joe Kelly, and Blake Treinen. They all have their warts and glowing upside scenarios.
And Graterol could run with a role if given a chance.

with Victor Robles potentially batting leadoff, how does that affect his value?
Brad Johnson
4:47
More PAs and more SB opportunities can't hurt.
4:48
But he was already overdrafted so I'm thinking he's just closer to fair value at his current ADP.
Gtown

Is Alex Reyes the Cardinal's closer?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Seems like it's Helsley or Gallegos. For some reason, they're looking for every excuse to not hand it to Gallegos. I can only assume they value him more as a stopper.
Mark

Brandon Lowe, how many ABs? over/under 400?
Brad Johnson
4:49
easy over with health
Jason

If Urquidy and Carrasco cost the same in a dynasty auction which would you prefer? Reasonable chance to compete this year but mostly looking at '21-'22
Brad Johnson
4:49
Carrasco, EZ
wait, I rushed that answer, missed the dynasty detail
4:50
I might take a risk on Urquidy knowing I could either regret it or be very happy for a long time.

Is Gavin Lux legit or an overblown prospect in a big market?
Brad Johnson
4:50
A little of both imo
Jerry B
4:51
I'm taking Marco Luciano over Julio Rodriquez as my long term keeper of choice. Is that just because I'm an SFG fan? I think it's more of his 60 bat / 70 power future projection at MI.
Brad Johnson
4:51
Yes, that's a homer pick
He's very good too fwiw
But I can't imagine preferring many prospects over JRod.
Probably just Wander for me.
Willie
4:51
Would I be making a mistake taking Betts or Bellinger over Acuna in a points league that scores -1 pts per K? Trout, Yelich and Cole are the picks before me.Thanks
Brad Johnson
4:52
No those are all fine choices.
Cito's Mustache
4:52
Do you know which projection system has a better track record with pitchers specifically?
Brad Johnson
4:52
It all varies year to year.
Archie
4:52
Lux or Hiura in a dynasty league?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Lux
