More seriously, probably like 130?
As hard as I pray to the baseball gods for him to get 750 PA, he has a constantly uphill battle for playing time.
I can’t stop coughing
4:33
Am I paying too much for Eloy with Mize, McCullers, and Eaton?
Brad Johnson
4:33
No
4:34
I do love Eaton for right now
I assume we're talking dynasty though

Someone ghosted our Ottoneu draft the other day, then declined to renew their team. Now we're stuck with a dead team. This isn't a question. I'm just upset.
Brad Johnson
4:35
Maybe just lock the roster and play an 11-team league this year rather than trying to get a replacement
The issue with replacement owners is they almost always say "oh shit, I can't contend, hey best team, give me some crap for all my best players"
4:36
and then it ruins everybody's fun

Daily moves 5x5 head-to-head is broken right? Because there's no IP limit? Why not make your entire bench SP's and play the best matchups each week?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Actually no. If you're streaming SP, you're sacrificing ERA and WHIP every week
4:37
Or you've paid 60% of your budget for pitchers which is generally frowned upon
(although that's exactly what I usually do)

Brad, could you speak a bit to how to interpret negative values with the auction calculator? Many thanks!!
Brad Johnson
4:37
It just means they're sub-replacement level
If a guy you think is good is sub-rep, check his PA projection
The calc can be a little harsh about part-time guys even though they can be very useful
4:38
We talk about it every year, but we can't figure out how to teach the calc to assume you know how to manage a bench
As built, the calc considers every bench player to be a $1 guy.
But that's not usually how we build teams

How would you rank Eaton, Winker, Laureano, Domingo Santana? (our league has AVG, OBP, HR, RBI, R, SB and TB)
Brad Johnson
4:39
Off the top of my head... Santana is definitely last
Eaton in an AVG/OBP could be a monster
Most hitters do one or the other - he does both
Winker is a OBP monster with a solid AVG
4:40
Laureano is probably third best even though I really love him
Winker's PT could be compromised in the OF so I'll say Eaton first
You might get away with picking him after Winker though.

Am I crazy to project JBJ at 80-20-70-15-.255? He comes out as my 96th best player which tells me I'm crazy
Brad Johnson
4:40
Seems a tad aggressive
Like a 65-70th percentile outcome
Bob

Better hurt guy stash: C Mart or Morrow?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Gimme Morrow
Sam

What’s the highest you would draft Joey Votto?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Depends on format. Kept him for over $50 in ottoneu FGpts
Where his bust season was still hugely productive
Normal $260 12-mixed draft... maybe mid-$20s
weezy

Merrill Kelly: in play for relatively deep 12-teamers?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Yes
