I don't see it as such because there's no agreement for the other party to behave in a certain way
Everybody's acting in their own best interest
4:44
There's nothing preventing the other guy from re-trading the reliever (which is why I wait for the deadline). Or cutting him (that's happened too)
Down with OBP

Is Rodon a good start in 5x5 league today.  Need to hold my place in counting stats and ratio (about a 3.65 ERA and 1.20 WHIP).
Brad Johnson
4:44
I think I'd have him projected slightly worse than those rates
4:45
Not that a 4.00 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 5+ IP would have ANY affect on 1450 IP of ratios
I think you can play him

How does the White Sox outfield shake up next year? Avi Garcia showed some power when healthy this year but with Eloy, Palka, Engel, and others it seems crowded and playing time doesn't seem guaranteed.
Brad Johnson
4:46
Well, I doubt Engel really factors into anything
but Delmonico might so your point kinda stands
I figure you get Eloy around April 15, Avi starts daily, and they sign a veteran CF of some kind
4:47
lemme refresh myself on options
Span would be a really nice fit in that no OBP lineup
4:48
Cutch, Jones, and Jay seem like plausible fall backs
All but Cutch should be very cheap - like 1yr/$5MM tops
And Cutch shouldn't be too pricey either
4:49
The other guys are semi-interesting, but they're not really MLB starters
at best second division
and the White Sox should be pivoting out of that side of the pool

Brad,
Who's a better keeper: Jorge Polanco or Tyler White?
Brad Johnson

White

Real breakout. Right-handed Max Muncy-ish

re: Jackson B and Soto:  If you don't believe Soto is going to be a God, someone else in your league does. Make that trade!
Brad Johnson
4:50
Very true
And another reason to keep Soto over Hoskins
Even if you have doubts, you should get a huge haul after the draft but before the start of the season
Tony Kemp's 2nd biggest fan
4:50
Which cheap team has more upside tonight (excluding ownership): Mariners or Rangers?
Brad Johnson
4:51
EZ Seattle

in my 2-week championship. Do you drop Abreu/Benintendi/E5 for someone producing/playing? replacement options are White/Renfroe/Mazara
Brad Johnson
4:51
I'd probably grab White for Abreu
not so sure he'll bounce back from abdominal surgery

With regards to daily stacks, do you always have a minimum number of players. 3? 4? Or is just rolling with 2 enough?
Brad Johnson
4:52
I'm flexible
This season, I've found stacks to be very ineffective
So I've been forcing myself away from those big four and five person pairings
4:53
That's just me though, and I often do weird things like intentionally replace the best player in the stack with somebody unexpected (Tony Kemp is a favorite for this)
Jessica

What have you seen with Alcantara? Has his MLB success been legit?
Brad Johnson
4:53
Honestly, all I've seen are some video highlights
which, given they're all of him striking out somebody, look very promising
