have to drop a bench player in need of one more pitcher....drop Fowler or Morrisson....pick up Rorak, Newcomb or peacock....?
Brad Johnson
4:21
Are you sure you can't trade one of those guys for a better SP than Roark?
I prefer Brandon McCarthy fwiw
4:22
I'd cut Morrison over Fowler. Fowler's so bankable.

AZ just extended Ketel Marte. Fantasy thoughts?

Almost all my leagues I refused to pay up on saves and I'm stuck with the likes of Reed, Bedrosian, Archie Bradley to start the season. Do I just need to be patient and wait on some guys or try to trade for at least one closer before the season starts? I play mostly roto with saves as a category
Brad Johnson
4:23
You need to do some work hunting for values
4:24
Don't force trades, but make them if they're there
Most leagues have a guy who picked up 5 crappy closers and wants to cash in on Fernando Rodney

Kiermaier = Maybin > Buxton

More AB's this season: Derek Fisher or Mallex Smith?

Should I change my chat name to thicc porcello, y/n?
Brad Johnson

n
I'll guess Mallex.

12 team h2h points dynasty. Gerrit Cole and Mike Clevinger or Lucas Giolito and Juan Soto.. I’m halfway thru my rebuild
Brad Johnson
4:26
I think I'd go for the present value.
Big fan on Juan Soto - he's very flashy
bust risk is non-trivial

People seem to like Faria, but with little chance for wins and solid, but not spectacular ratios, is his upside 2017 Jameson Taillon at best (i.e. likely not a top 40 SP by season's end)
Brad Johnson
4:27
I'm with you, I don't see the upside for performance
There's some stuff, but the whole package isn't fully actualized
Houston, we have a problem

Assuming the rest of their OF dudes stay healthy, what are the chances Kyle Tucker forces his way up this year?
Brad Johnson
4:27
He could push into a pinch hitter-ish role, I guess
in time for the playoffs. I doubt it though. He needs injury help
Beric Shortgenhagen

Brad, who gets to the majors first, Brendan Rodgers or Vlad Jr? and is either of their arrival dates in 2018?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Rodgers is much more likely than Vlad. Both are quite unlikely

How should I replace myself for a month in a 12-team roto?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Prepare to stream
4:29
Without referencing anything, my blanket recommendation for a patch is Brandon McCarthy

Can Adam Engel be a legitimate fantasy guy?
Brad Johnson

In a deep AL Only

Are Delino DeShields and Cameron Maybin close in comparison?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Not really
Maybin is always hurt and has gaping flaws in his profile
4:30
He looks good when he's on a luck streak
He could play his way off the roster just as easily

Following up on the Q about Jose Martinez, why do you think he's an injury risk? Why can't the Cardinals just park him at 1B (lowest risk position) and push Carpenter around the field?
Brad Johnson
4:30
He's not more of a risk than any other late-20s multi-position hitter
4:31
everybody's a risk though
