Definitely take him over Hamels
I think the percentage play is Bum or Ryu over Paddack, but the ceiling is probably better for Paddack
Anthony

Ryan Mcmahon or Wilmer Flores as a breakout middle infield option this year?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Maybe McMahon with some Coors inflation. I'm not that keen about Flores
He's a 1 WAR utility guy who briefly looked like a sneaky late pick because he was going to get 650 PA
Now he's back in line for his usual 400 PA
Gonzalez
4:19
Who benefits in a k/9 league with sv+holds? Target RP earlier than usual?
Brad Johnson
4:20
Most leagues are secretly K/9. If there's an innings cap, it's K/9. I don't think you need to change your RP valuations for that format. If anything it devalues saves slightly.

If Willson Contreras is 75% of his 2017 production, that's still a top 5 catcher in most formats, right? I feel like he's being judged too harshly on his 2018 performance.
Brad Johnson
4:21
I'm shocked I don't have any Contreras shares. I'm fully on board with him as a top 4 C
I guess every league I'm in has one believer.
Jake
4:22
I'm in a NL auction dynasty league and  I can spend 40% of my money on Sherzer and Degrom which will probably give me the best pitching(or 2nd best) as well as probably the 2nd, maybe the 1st best offense in the league based on my keepers.  The thing I keep debating is if one of them go down I'm screwed.  Do you like the idea of grabbing both and if healthy I have a good chance to win the league or just grab one and spread the money out a bit more on the pitching to hedge my bet.
Brad Johnson
4:22
I don't know how to evaluate your alternatives based on his info.
4:23
If it's a matter of get those SP or roster backup position players and a bunch of Luke Weaver/Zach Eflin types, then I'd bid on the aces
Rick Sanchez
4:23
Are the Pablo Lopez / Caleb Smith / Trevor Richards rosterable in 12 teamers?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Streamers imo
They can start on a roster just in case, but you'll probably move on quickly.
Stage 5
4:24
Seriously, Adrian Gonzalez, Jose Reyes? Those were bad decisions, but they have nothing to do with Alonso this year. I am sorry that I clicked on this chat. You're a great disappointment  to me. I am cutting you out of the holiday letter mailing list.
Brad Johnson
4:24
Some folk don't appreciate humor
Willie

12 team roto re-draft - would you drop either Josh James or Dereck Rodriguez for any of the Marlins young guns ? P. Lopez, Richards or Smith?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Yea, that's all the same asset class
Whichever you like most
Oddball Herrera
4:25
Reds second base: proof once again that it takes very little time to go from "what do we do with this logjam of players?!?!" to Jose Iglesias
baseballdude
4:25
have not seen any updates regarding the Padres OF situation.  holding onto Franmil in hopes he is given a starting job.  Should i drop for someone else like Mcmahon?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Stick with Franmil for now. They love him.
4:26
Renfroe might draw the short straw
Tom
4:26
How high of a priority would you put on picking up Freddy Peralta in a standard 5x5 roto league? Would you drop any of McHugh, Skaggs, Cron, Kang or Danny Jansen to grab him?
Brad Johnson
4:26
No priority. He's just a guy.
So too are Skaggs and Kang depending on your depth
Jake
4:27
Which Marlins SPs could you see getting Pivetta/Hendrickson/Darvish/Ray or better type results
Brad Johnson
4:27
Weird to resurrect Mark Hendrickson for that list.
4:28
The three we've been discussing (Smith, Lopez, Richards) have that sort of hype to them
Seth
4:28
Are you buying a Wade Miley break out with the Astros? I know he had a good spring but it’s only spring training
Brad Johnson
4:28
I buy his breakout with the Brewers. Not expecting anything more than that. Which is basically a middle class version of Dallas Keuchel
Matt
4:29
Who you first to drop from An Sanchez, Gibson, Keller, Hellickson, Montas, P Lopez? Dynasty league, so I love the upside potential with Montas/Lopez, and thinking Hellickson's late-season pitch mix change can create a serviceable #5...so I'm thinking Gibson is the low man?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Hellickson and Montas seem like easy cuts to me. I just don't see a rotation future for Montas, and his stuff is no longer special for the bullpen either.
LFC Mike
4:29
Sonny Grey ... redemption time? He was not complementary as to the way NY made him pitch vs. the way/style he feels comfortable with.
Brad Johnson
4:29
Yea, I'm cautiously in on Gray
Tom
4:30
Have my draft tonight. In a 12 team H2H OBP redraft mixed league. How much do you think Trea Turner is worth? I love the idea of him, but does his steals advantage really help you that much in the small sample of one week?
Brad Johnson
4:30
While he can singlehandedly win you a category several weeks a year, his low-ish OBP prices him out of the 1st round.
