I'm attuned to 20-team or deeper values
In a 10 or 12 team, that's a solid return for Dominguez.

12 team keep 28

In that case, good job

Since this season is likely going to be far different than any season ever prior, I'd love to see them get weird with it. 5 inning double headers 6x a week. Maybe a 16 team tournament at the end of the year. What other ideas do people have?
Brad Johnson
4:54
I like the tournament idea.
4:55
Have the Marlins host the entire NL playoff tournament and the Rangers take the AL tourny.
4:56
I do think they should take the opportunity to be creative, but they'll probably be stodgy and inflexible like always.

Tyler Chatwood finished the second half of 2019 with a 2.84 ERA in 31 IP and 10.8 K/9. On the season, in 5 GS, he had 3.97 ERA in 22 IP. Can we see him get back to his 2016 version, in this upcoming season? What are your expectations for Chatwood?
Brad Johnson
4:56
He's an ultra-deep league dart throw.
4:57
Also, Alec Mills is better even if Chatwood's salary will give him the first shot in the rotation.
Time to wrap it up. I'll brb for a quick blitz of final questions.

What do you want to talk about, Brad? Any player you want to rave about? Any book you've loved? Any show/movie you can't get enough of?
Brad Johnson

Should have asked me at the beginning!
Could have droned on for the whole hour.
I'm rewatching The IT Crowd for at least the 25th time.
5:01
Not too long ago, I read a Firefly novel, and it was better than I expected. I usually cringe at those show-to-novel adaptations, but whoever wrote it did a great job of capturing the characters.
I *finally* got around to reading Joe Abercrombie
5:02
I chose The Blade Itself, and it was exceptional.
Just finished that on Thursday. Flew through it. Sad I left the next two books in the series at home since I won't be getting back for a goodly while
5:03
(I'm currently "stranded" in AZ)
Very comfortably stranded.

Who is more likely to make an impact in MLB in 2020: Kevin Cron or Josh Rojas?
Brad Johnson
5:04
Rojas has a pretty clean path to playing time even if he'll have to do a little work to get there. Cron has to somehow slip between Walker and Beer which will be easier said then done.
His best chance is to get waived.
Craig

Eric Lauer, Joe Ross, Chi Chi Gonzalez or Caleb Smith. Who’s your guy from the group?
Brad Johnson
5:04
Smith
