Am I a bad person
4:27
I am for baseball players getting paid more, especially minor leaguers, but I also think that Scott Boras is a boring windbag
Brad Johnson

presented without comment

Hey Brad, what do you expect from JDM in BOS this year? Will the Green Monster suppress his power to LF?
Brad Johnson
4:27
I don't see any reason to expect a change. He'll lose a few and he'll gain a few
Mel Jr.
4:28
David Dahl gonna open the season with the Rockies or do you see him getting sent down?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Getting a lot of questions about Dahl
I don't have any special insight into this situation. But I expect him to go to Triple-A initially.

What is BSOHL?

Best Shape of His Life

Duda has basically same Depth Chart projections as Bird, Smoak, and Alonso...and is free. But are the projections not seeing something that makes those other 3 so much more expensive in auctions?
Brad Johnson
4:30
Yea. The trio are all ascendant. Bird is young/upsidey. Both Smoak and Alonso made major adjustments to their game so the projections are 2/3rds on mostly irrelevant data
Duda didn't change, and he's going to an ugly park for power
Nothing wrong with rostering him if you need to make a budget play, but the other 3 are way better plays

Got a request for my closers.  What is the value of Kimbrel, Eddy Diaz, Morrow, and Doolittle.  It is a sv/H league so they do get punished there.   I don't have any glaring holes and I could move one without a problem.  is it worth it?  should I stay pat or do you think I could make a deal to acquire Acuna from him?
Brad Johnson
4:31
If your rival puts Acuna on the table, take it. Especially if it's any kind of keeper format.
4:32
If it's a redraft, you could try Doolittle or Morrow for Acuna, but I might just wait until he's feeling some pain
Brian

re: schwarbs. cc had an insane body makeover one year. didn't really translate to the field.
Brad Johnson
4:32
Not a fair comp
Tom
4:32
Dylan Bundy slider for real? I think I wanna buy it. Looked awesome in person a couple of weeks ago?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Yea, it's fantastic
the rest of the repertoire...
well, it's not fantastic
Bob
4:33
More 2018 home runs -- Matt Olson or Hoskins, and how many each?
Brad Johnson
4:33
I'll go Hoskins
35 and 31?
3 Ben Sheets to the Wind
4:33
In shallow leagues with only 3 OF, does that lower the value of the first rounders like Bryce, Mookie and Blackmon?
Brad Johnson
4:33
No
But it does lower everybody after JDM/Bellinger/Judge range
4:34
You go from a bunch of $30 guys to $1 REALLY fast
Or if you're using rounds, you just focus on other positions
Mark
4:34
In 16TM 5x5 roto, hitting is solid, but my pitchers are lacking. Can I get by with SPs led by Archer, Arrieta, and Richards, or should I go RP heavy and hope I win ratios and SV?
Brad Johnson
4:35
You still have time to spike some cheap breakouts. Either via waivers or buying early
Try that path before going with relievers. The RP strategy almost never works. It's an emergency plan
Helen
4:35
Dominic Leone a good spec right now or does Gregerson have the job?
Brad Johnson
4:36
I think Gregerson basically has the job if healthy, but Leone is still a good speculative pick
Dauber
4:36
What are the chances Dahl makes the MLB roster out of ST?  If not, stash him or Calhoun?
Brad Johnson
4:36
stash Calhoun
The Rangers just want to get a look at Drew Robinson. As soon as somebody is hurt, we'll see Calhoun.
Sandy Ravage
4:37
14 team H2H points dynasty. My league WAY overvalues starting pitching, so my strategy this year was to go heavy on hitting, get 1 ace and then take a bunch of chances and stream starts. Just lost Jahrel Cotton, who should I look to replace him? Low ownership guys, like 10% owned or less
Brad Johnson
4:37
Kyle Gibson still looks like late season Kyle Gibson to me
