Forsythe can be a last round pick if you want some 2B/3B flex
Nolan
4:15
Odds Willson Contreras finishes higher than Gary Sanchez as the #1 fantasy catcher this season?
Brad Johnson
4:16
25%?
I figure if they're both healthy, Sanchez is almost guaranteed to outperform him
Corky
4:16
But I was thinking of your comment where you said you go pitching heavy in H2h.
Brad Johnson
4:17
Yes, I tend to find value in that approach.
But I've been running the same strategy against the same group of guys for years
4:18
They always let me dominate the pitching pool because they think it's too risky
If 3 of them were to suddenly compete with me for those same SP, then I'd need to change my approach
4:19
Also for the 99% of you who didn't read the comment in question, this is in reference to a 6x6 league with K/BB in which I'm about to keep $219 of my $260 budget in the form of 7 pitchers
4:20
Kershaw, Sale, Max, Kluber, Carrasco, Godley, and Morton
Wang Dang Doodle
4:20
Matt Chapman or Jake Lamb in an OBP league? Power is my main focus
Brad Johnson
4:20
Ah, that's a push
Given their expected costs, the value favors Chapman
Big Tuna
4:21
Where do you stand on the Greinke dead arm/toying with the media debate?
Brad Johnson
4:21
I think I was the first person to say we've seen this from him before
so...

How good do you expect Ozzie Albies to be this year and going foward?
Brad Johnson
4:21
Quite good. But from a fantasy perspective, he might outperform Cesar Hernandez by like 10%
2B is SOOOO deep
4:22
If you own Albies, it's better to sell him at over-hyped prices
the production is replaceable.
Lars
4:22
Bullish or bearish on a Mike Clevinger breakout this season?
Brad Johnson
4:22
slightly bullish
4:23
when command is the thing holding a guy back, it's a little safer to actually expect modest improvement
B. Ryce Hammer's Luscious Locks
4:23
Is it crazy to be thinking of drafting Acuna late in a 10 team H2H points league with only 3 OF slots?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Nah. The hype will make him a valuable trade asset at the very least
Erik
4:23
What are the weirdest league settings you've played in that you actually enjoyed?
Brad Johnson
4:23
I played a linear weights-ish league on Yahoo before Ottoneu FGpts was a thing
4:24
was formed of readers from The Book blog
great group, but it fell apart a few years back
Stanley
4:24
Last keeper in a 5x5 keep forever with no restrictions league. Yelich, Rendon, Devers, Pham, or Carrasco. Who ya got?
Brad Johnson
4:24
That's a difficult group.
4:25
I'm guessing you can only keep like 3 or 4 guys or else these wouldn't be your bubble picks
That probably crosses out the long term play with Devers
Carrasco is injury prone
mostly just because he's a pitcher
4:26
Yelich, Rendon, and Pham are studs. Pham is the most physically talented, but he's also the oldest and has the eye issue
4:27
I think I lean Rendon
That's a damned hard choice though.
