Brad Johnson

Hey folks, we'll get started in a few moments.
Matt Parrington

What was Byron Buxton's WAR beyond the first decimal point?
Brad Johnson
3:54
Hey Louie, it was 9.
Bryzzohtani :(
3:55
Chris Davis or Logan Morrison? Pts league
Brad Johnson
3:55
With Davis a little banged up and possibly falling off a cliff, I'm leaning LoMo.
3:56
They're both pretty similar assets - late round 30 HR options. Davis will likely have the better lineup role and closer to guaranteed play due to his terrible contract. I think LoMo is slightly more talented overall.

How late would Moustaskas be able to sign and still be available for Opening Day for the team that signs him?
Brad Johnson
3:57
Honestly, I imagine he can be ready for Opening Day with like 3 or 5 days advance notice. It's not like he's sitting at home watching TV. That said, you should expect reduced production in April and extra rest time if that comes to pass.

I’m allowed 7 keepers in a 10 team league with $300 available. Mind letting me know who you would keep?
Brad Johnson
3:58
Mike Trout, Jose Altuve, Trea Turner, Nolan Arenado, Bryce Harper, and a couple aces.
:)

I'm running a league for a bunch of friends who have probably three seasons of fantasy baseball between them. What settings would you recommend for a league full of new players to keep it fun for everybody?
Brad Johnson
3:59
I think you should stick to 5x5 so they have the option to read some one-size-fits-all advice - if they want to
Hi
3:59
18 team H2H points league, keep $20 G.Cole or $10 Trevor Bauer?
Brad Johnson
4:00
Oh...probably close to a coin flip. Would need a lot more context to give an answer. Be mindful of your opportunity costs. Like, how valuable is that extra $10. League is deep enough that I imagine it could be the difference between starting an actual regular and a backup

Hey Brad, how do you approach SP in the draft in a league with 180 start limit? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:01
I try to go acey as possible
4:02
If the league is relatively shallow - 12 teams or under, I'd probably pop 4-6 aces in the first 8 or 9 rounds.

How do you approach SP in a league with a weekly 10 start limit? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:02
This doesn't really change my approach.
Edison
4:02
Jose Martinez worth rostering for roto?
Brad Johnson
4:03
Depends on league depth. Not a bad late flier for 12 team deep roster and up.
Eric
4:03
How much playing time do you think Moran gets this year, and what kind of line could you see him producing?
Brad Johnson
4:04
I'll guestimate 450 PA  with .275/.335/.455
Matt Parrington
4:04
3.59?!?!
Brad Johnson
4:04
I made that up. Pretty sure (not positive) it rounds, therefore 3.54 or lower.
Mitch
4:04
In a 5x5 (obp and qs instead of avg and wins) dynasty league, would you rather have Albies or C. Martinez?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Albies. Though I definitely prefer CMart for this year. I'm assuming it's a pretty deep dynasty and not a 10-team keeper.
Vegan Man!
4:05
Better keeper this year / going forward: Freeman or Bellinger? Thank you!
Brad Johnson
4:05
Freeman now, Bellinger long term.
4:06
Bellinger is 22. Freeman is 28.
Breezy
4:06
H2H league, 5x5 + OBP/OPS and L/OBA, keeping Goldschmidt and Bellinger, but my third is a toss up mess of Kimbrel, Starling Marte, or Gallo
Brad Johnson
4:06
Easy Gallo.
Joe
4:06
K Marte at $6 or Galvis at $8 in NL only 5x5?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Marte. Even with the news Ahmed will probably start at SS
Vegan Man!
4:06
Thoughts on Villar as a MIF option this year? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:07
I like him as a late flier. Lots of rebound potential. Had some value last year even while struggling. Don't trust the Brewers to not say fuck it and re-sign Walker though.
Brian
4:07
price, wood, salazar, duffy, verlander, quintana, clevinger, teheran, gausman, peacock, alex reyes,shoemaker, sonny gray. enough depth in a 16 team dynasty even with the amount of risk the group carries?
Brad Johnson
4:08
I think that'll hold up in a deep format. You can always look to improve though.
Vegan Man!
4:08
Do you think Robles will (eventually) hit for enough power to be a 1st round talent in a dynasty points league? Thanks!
