Kingery for Gerrit Cole straight up in h2 h points?
Brad Johnson
4:31
You need pitching? That's a good return for Kingery if it's not a keeper
Anthony
4:31
Drop Willie Calhoun for Jesse Winker for my last bench spot?
Brad Johnson
4:31
I would
4:32
I think I know a couple dozen people who would say that's blasphemy
Hans Gruber
4:32
Would you rather have Grandal or Gattis in a one catcher league? Rankings say Gattis but he hasn't been looking too hot lately.
Brad Johnson
4:32
I prefer Grandal
Matt
4:33
Brad, I'm in a 16 team league with very deep rosters where just about every SP is rostered. Is Joey Lucchesi a thing I should care about?
Brad Johnson
4:33
I don't have much information about Lucchesi
Far as I can tell, he's a command and control guy with no secondary stuff and a hittable fastball
4:34
I'd stay away. If you have an idle roster spot, you can stash for the hell of it
Sean
4:34
Arizona humidor meaningful enough for you to downgrade D-Backs hitters or upgrade D-Backs pitchers?
Brad Johnson
4:34
Yes to both
I think the industry consensus is around 15% if memory serves. I'm taking a less aggressive approach, personally.
Dr. Met
4:35
Jose Ramirez cut his finger in the dugout today and left the game. EOM
JC at the Bat
4:35
Hector Neris in a 10 team NL only.  I think I have to keep him at $5 being that closers generally go for $20+, even though it feels like I am going to get burned on it, correct?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Look at it this way. I doubt you get a full season from him, but even 2 or 3 months will be worth the $5 investment
Frank
4:35
Better spec add in NL only: Glasnow or A. Garrett?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Glasnow
4:36
So Glasnow
Garrett is not a starting pitcher. Maybe not a reliever either
Joey
4:36
Who do you like more at 2B in a 5x5 OBP league, Kinsler or Cesar Hernandez?
Brad Johnson
4:36
I'm partial to Hernandez. If Kinsler keeps doing it, they'll be neck-and-neck in value
4:37
and Kinsler's eventually going to fall off a cliff
Jeff
4:37
I have a 2B and need pitching in an h2h points, should I trade Kingery for Ohtani?
Brad Johnson
4:37
trade for a comparably valued pitcher with a track record
Dan
4:37
Would you trade rizzo and david price for machado and carlos santana?  price is 4th best SP on squad and 3b now is maikel franco
Brad Johnson
4:37
Would do
tacopocket
4:37
do I trade upton and paxton for Stanton?  my staff would be  price, greinke, Richards, shark, taijuan qalker, peacock.
Brad Johnson
4:37
Yes
4:38
As much as I like Paxton, there's a sizable chance he hardly contributes
Sean
4:38
2018's Chad Green a/k/a starter-turned-reliever success story?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Way too early for this question - at least for me
I'm watching Jake Thompson
Josh
4:38
Do you bench marginal guys in daily moves leagues vs elite SPs? i.e. Fowler v Syndergaard on OD.
Brad Johnson
4:39
It's a matrix of decisions.
If I have Kiermaier versus Scrub Lord as an alternative, I'll bench Fowler
4:40
If my option is Aaron Altherr versus Max Scherzer, I'll stick with Fowler
Mr. Belvadere
4:40
Does Kingery take a hit in an OBP league?  I worry he is more peraza than 2016 Villar.
Brad Johnson
4:40
OBP formats hurt his value
