Let's get rolling in a minute or two. I'll be off on twitter to scrape some competition for ya.
o'HOOLIGAN'S

I have Alex Reyes, Dinelson Lamet and Greg Bird on the DL but only two DL spots so one of them is taking up a bench spot. Drop one of them for Albers in a 12-team 5x5 roto league? My closers are Iglesias, Kela and Soria right now.
Brad Johnson
3:59
Could drop Lamet. I don't think you have to go out of your way for another part time closer.
I'd probably save that move for a more meaningful addition

You're a daily guy, right? How do you decide when to pay up for a top pitcher instead of running with a cheaper guy? I usually go for the cheapest starter that I'm comfortable with in order to get as many top bats into the lineup as possible, but on nights like last night I get burnt when Scherzer and Kluber are predictably dominant.

I only play GPPs so for me it comes down to expected ownership rates.
4:00
and those can be hard to guess correctly
but basically, I'll use expensive guys if I think they'll be unpopular and vice versa
usually looking for people to overreact to a matchup like Godley vs. the Dodgers
4:01
it's not a good matchup, but it's not so terrible that you can't use him
RotoQL's super expensive version has a tool that predicts ownership pretty well
Bad Johnson

Brad! Brad. What to do with Addison Russel in a ten team dysnasty? Hold?
Brad Johnson
4:02
If you have a MI slot, probably yes. Otherwise, no need to worry about holding him

Nick Senzel worth a stash even in 10-team?
Brad Johnson
4:02
I think so. I expect him to be activated very soon

Blackmon or Ohtani in a 15 team 5x5 dynasty with OBP and (W+QS)? It's a daily league so I'd have the flexibility to have Ohtani hit when he's in the lineup?
Brad Johnson
4:03
If you're contending now, I'd go Blackmon. If you're just hoping to get lucky or flatout rebuilding, it's Ohtani.
One issue with Ohtani is injury risk. Of supposedly healthy players, he has to have some of the highest risk in the entire league.
So that could really hurt his dynasty value.

5x5 QS instead of wins 10 team, D Price for Gallo a fair deal?
Brad Johnson
4:04
Smells fine to me

Need a SS in 12 team mixed (OBP, SLG). Rosario, Aledmys, Asdrubal, Dansby, Marte, Solarte, Beckham. Any of them excite you enough to own and hold or should I just play the wire and matchups?
Brad Johnson
4:04
Rosario has 5 cat monster potential
with SB the best and most important
Solarte's a nice patch. Batting cleanup.
Pie
4:05
Robles or Tucker as a stash in a 12 team standard? The injury is starting to scare me...
Brad Johnson
4:05
Robles until we learn more
hscer
4:05
just two? slacker! ; p

Justin Mason had the first chat. I have no idea if this is going to become a regular thing.
David
4:05
I have two young players on my team. Who do you think will have more value this year. Ozzie Albies or Trey Mancini?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Albies all day
Luis CKastillo
4:06
12 team mixed, OBP, SLG. Would you do Jose Mart or Smoak for Puig?
Brad Johnson
4:06
So I wouldn't, but there's nothing wrong with doing so
Either option is a fair swap
It may even be smart to do the Martinez one due to playing time concerns
he legit can't field anywhere
4:07
if he hits enough to play anyway, you'll be sad
but fair trades are always risky

Snell, Corbin, Berrios, Taijuan, Godley, Stroman and Bauer are my fungible starters.  Who should I drop if/when a closer becomes available on the wire?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Snell is my first drop there
