Sleeper hitters for RBIs that might be on the waiver wire in a 12-team league?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Solarte bats cleanup!
Really, just look for everyday guys who bat 3 to 5
Taylor

For help with ratios and holds with a rp in the sp slot do you prefer Jordan hicks, gsellman, or bud norris?
Brad Johnson

Hicks

How can Joey Votto, who is almost certainly the best pure hitter in the game, go through such extended periods of incompetence?  I just don't get it.
Brad Johnson
4:37
So the thing about Votto is that he's aging
The wheels will eventually fall off
but he seems to be elite when it comes to making adjustments
had all kinds of red flags last year and was a monster
I'll keep buying an adjustment until it doesn't happen
Also, baseball is hard

Any sleeper prospects you expect to come this year and make a big fantasy impact?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Roman Quinn is probably my favorite. His batting profile is basically OF-only Trea Turner
plus a lot older and always injured

Re: Franco "He's closed off that unnecessary open bullshit." I love when there's cursing in the responses. Also, I swear a lot so I'm glad I'm not the only one who swears in normal conversation
Brad Johnson
4:39
Our guidance here at FanGraphs is basically "don't fucking overdo it with the cursing"

Is it a fair bet to say the minor leaguers called up will have less of an impact than last year’s crop? 2017 seems unusually strong for call ups.
Brad Johnson
4:40
Last year was unusually productive. I mean, Aaron Judge...
He wasn't supposed to be much of anything
4:41
Hoskins and Olson were supposed to maybe struggle too
instead they basically were the 3 best power rookies ever
Javy Baez is having a day
likes this Ivan Nova dude
Also ruining my ottoneu H2H stats for Nova

Thoughts on Mikolas...stay the course or drop for guys like T.Ross, Ryu, E-Rod, or Newcomb?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Stay!
4:42
I haven't watched Ross yet
but he's probably at least a standard deviation better than those alternatives
Ozzie

Hoskins HR yesterday was easy ... so easy. Like, wowza, it was hot.

10 team, OPS & AVG. Traded Stroman & Shane Greene for Eddie Rosario and Gausman. Think I did okay?
Brad Johnson
4:43
It's fine
None of those players are difference makers in the format. Rosario may be the most likely to carry you of the 4

I just dealt Paxton and upton for Stanton.  Think I did ok but should I have traded price and upton for Stanton and a closer (treinen maybe)?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Looks fine to me
I can't find anybody to trade me Stanton
High or low volatility
4:44
How valuable is someone like Touki or Yadier Alvarez in a dynasty league? Is having someone boring but producing right now (Trevor Williams, for example) worth trading for to shed the risk?
Brad Johnson
4:44
I prefer Williams to them

I'm starting to feel like that guy from Being John Malkovich, except everyone in the restaurant is saying 'Senzel Senzel Senzel?'
