Greinke's velo has been down in ST since he turned 30

Brad, I am in a 4×4 11 team keeper lg.  No R or K. It is half AL and half NLWe have 23 roster spots, no bench, unlimited DL. Budget is 26$ instead of 260$. I have Trea Turner at 4.70 this year with option to keep at 5.20 or 5.70 for 2 more or 3 more years. Worth it?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Losing runs is a huge category for him
4:50
I don't have much sense for how inflation might run in this league. Turner is probably like $36 or so in redraft of that format
4:51
If you have to run the option now, I probably pass
If you can run at the end of the year, the $52 version might be a not-terrible waste of money. Again, kinda depends on inflation
Underpaid Trout
4:52
What side in a 14 team keep forever league do you prefer?   Trout or Altuve Vlad Jr, & Buehler?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Vlad
That's a nice haul for Trout, a rare instance I'd seriously consider disaggregating him
That said, it's not a strong preference. You can try to hold out for more if you want to pinch pennies
4:53
It's perhaps worth trying with Trout.
Not like you're death gripping Pablo Lopez

I expect do see Ketel Marte become a toolsy everywhere kind of player for Arizona - what say you?
Brad Johnson
4:53
Depends how Jones handles CF
If that fails, which it probably will, then Marte just plays CF
Need one arm
4:54
Need one out of Archer, Tanaka, Darvish, Keuchel....who should I go with?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Keuchel won't be ready for OD so he's out
The others are same asset class. I'd chase 20 wins with Tanaka
Jerry

Thoughts on Nathaniel Lowe in a dynasty? Seems to be flying under the radar after a Vlad-esque minor league season
Brad Johnson
4:54
Not sure I see a MLB role for him in a system with 45 2B
Many of whom are better than Lowe
4:55
So maybe he's trade bait?
I'm going to try to get some looks at him in Durham this year
Closing time
4:56
I have lots of shares of Seranthony Dominguez in leagues.  Over under on 20+ saves in 2019?
Brad Johnson
4:56
under, but not by much
I've got him penciled in for 12 to 15
And the ratios alone will be worth it
Andy

Trout for Scherzer in a swap of first round keepers (each one would get an additional year of keeper eligibility as a result of the trade).  If I get Zack Wheeler (4th round keeper for 2 more years) back in addition to Scherzer, is this enough of a return for Trout?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Nooooo

1700 IP cap, check my math. 7 SP + 7 RP?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Yea, that's about right
Backend starter
4:57
Which do you prefer?  Anibal Sanchez, Eflin, or Luke Weaver?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Anibal
Like Eflin and Weaver too as dart throws
Matthew
4:57
Who is your personal favorite 2B target?
Brad Johnson
4:57
lel Jose Altuve
Cesar Hernandez if we're talking down ballot
Old Guys Rule
4:58
Which old guy would you rather have in your team this year.  Jones, Cutch, CarGo, Braun or Gardner?
Brad Johnson
4:58
One of these guys is still a fantasy monster...

What's the likelihood that Spencer Howard turns into a must own prospect in dynasty leagues?
