Should be owned until we learn more

For all the questions, gripes and suggestions about the Auction Calculator, just wanted to mention it is amazing and I'd be lost without it. Thank you!
Brad Johnson
4:43
Yea for sure. Appelman was asking us if we use other tools after we listed like 15 things we wanted addressed. We all looked at each other and saw, "nah, this is the best thing out there"
4:44
The strength is the flexibility. It's relatively easy to build something that's better for a very specific format. But covering almost every iteration of fantasy with one calc is really impressive

Do you like Berrios more than Severino this year?
Brad Johnson
4:44
I do not, even with the injury

Please ranked the following 1-5, most 2019 saves:
Andrew Miller
Seranthony Dominguez
Jordan Hicks
Archie Bradley
David Robertson
Brad Johnson
4:45
Sure, ask me an easy question
4:46
So I think the Phillies bullpen will be split something like Robertson 20, Seranthony 12, Neris 8, with the other 5-10 spread around to others
I don't have a good read on the Cardinals bullpen. For now, call that a 40/40 split with 20% going to others.
4:47
Bradley's insanely volatile too. Seems like he should be the guy over Hirano (Holland is out reportedly)
But they might just use both as stoppers
4:48
I'll say Bradley gets the most saves of the 5
But there's no a lot of science in that guess
George Bell's Purple Ass

What's the earliest in a 12 team league (standard roto scoring) you would take a closer?
Brad Johnson
4:48
I think the earliest I've ever done it is Jansen/Kimbrel on a 3/4 turn. Few years back that was.
4:49
This year I find myself too late to pick Diaz and the rest of the good CL are clumped around the 6-9th region (often all in the same round)
4:50
I do think it's a good idea to secure one of those top 11 or so guys
But you don't need multiple since so many good non-CL are going to end up with saves

Sale's IP in 2019 - over/under 180?
Brad Johnson
4:50
Pretty close to the push line for me
I'll say 190
David

I am planning on Vlad Jr. as my starting 3B for the year. I get to keep him as a minor leaguer.  Would you target someone in your draft who is starter level to hold his place or wait and use a bench fill in?
Brad Johnson
4:51
3B is really deep so I'd go cheap but good
Eduardo Escobar for example
Graham
4:51
Is there a target number of auction dollars you would want to hold onto for the last few players. Like ideally keep $25 for the final 7 players on your team?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Well..
4:52
It depends on the format. For super deep or an only format, perhaps something like that
though I don't have a set number
For nearly all formats, I would prefer to have $10 for my last 10 players
I can’t stop coughing
4:52
Yandy Diaz, Dom Smith, Or Vogelbach as a speculation stash? Who’s gets most playing time ? Who would you pick up?
Brad Johnson
4:52
I bet Yandy has the most PA, but Dom and Vogey probably play more in April
Or at least the first 2 weeks
4:53
Today my answer is Smith
Ask again in 2 weeks and I'll likely have a different take
JT

Forever dynasty in 6x6 roto: Brujan or Jazz?
Brad Johnson
4:53
EZ Brujan
So hype-tastic right now
And that matters from a value perspective
joe
4:53
caleb smith or tyler anderson?
