I've been in my league for a very long time. My team for the past two years has been trash and once again I am noncompetitive.  I really hate what this does to me. Ever take a hiatus from fantasy baseball? I'm the commish and the person who knows everyone in the league. What do I do?!
Brad Johnson

First off, it's April 10
You're not drawing dead.
Start approaching this incrementally
4:46
Work on fixing your biggest problems while waiting on positive regression where applicable
Don't worry about getting to 1st all at once, just try to climb a spot at a time
Stream when applicable

Colin Moran. Picked him up over Brian Anderson to cover MI with Suarez on the DL. Yay or nay? I just think I like his bat more.
Brad Johnson
4:46
Same asset class
When presented with the same choice in two similar leagues, I picked one of each

Taijuan Walker is such a tease.  Hold or stream in 10-team?
Brad Johnson
4:47
Hold
Blackbird
4:47
Look in to your crystal ball and spit out what becomes of Gregory Bird? Lifetime DL'er or something more?
Brad Johnson
4:47
I think he'll have average health going forward
Whether he hits enough to remain a Yankee is another matter
4:48
And leaving Yankee Stadium won't be good for his career
Hitmen

Has Reynaldo Lopez earned a promotion from streamer (12 team)? @Min?
Brad Johnson
4:48
Not yet for me

Rotoworld - I do DRAFT DFS picks 3 days a week, Saves and Steals and Homer Report on the main page, and The Fringes behind their season paywall
4:49
I also do streaming picks 3 days a week at Rotoballer

best guess on when torres comes up?  my middle infield is awful and I was wondering if I should stash him now.  Problem is - its a small bench
Brad Johnson
4:49
If the Yankees continue to have health issues, we could see him soon. Probably temporarily
The Yankees aren't worried about Super 2 cash
4:50
They'll get the extra year of club control then make decisions purely on need and developmental considerations

Would you trade Michael Conforto for Chris Sale's Dad?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Only if they throw in a zoot suit

Ok, so that Blue Jays offense isn't going to cut it if they want to pretend to be a wild card contender.  If Guerrero continues to destroy all humans in AA, they really need to see what he can do for them before the season gets out of hand, right?
Brad Johnson
4:51
I dunno. Teams are so risk averse these days, and this is a Shapiro-run org.
I imagine they want him to develop step by step
TJ

Oh, hi there.  Help a brother out and tell me what you think about these trades: gives Gary Sanchez and gets Gattis and Hamels | gives Lindor and gets Baez and Aaron Sanchez.  I mean, these are impossible to justify, right?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Gross. Gross. Gross
The second one is like vaguely excusable
I can see being a Lindor pessimist and saying Baez is 80% of the way there
4:53
Then if you also think Sanchez can be a surprise Cy candidate, it's a reasonable swap
the Sanchez deal is almost enough to make me click veto
I never veto anything

Chris Archer for Reds SP Luis Castillo + Edwin Diaz a fair trade?  Not retired Marlins 2B Luis Castillo.
Brad Johnson
4:53
I like it.
4:54
Also, I like that you're asking my advice and also felt the need to identify that you don't want to trade for a long-retired player.
