I swear his name grade is half his fantasy trade value
DRAGONWAGON
5:04
Do you like Miguel Andujar?
Brad Johnson
5:04
I do
It's time for me to start wrapping this up
DRAGONWAGON
5:04
How many at bats until the batted ball info becomes more or less ‘stable’?
Brad Johnson
5:04
Depends on each stat. Most of them are a season or more :)
5:05
That's why it can be better to hunt for confirmable changes like Alonso last year (and a billion others)
Andy
5:05
You starting Josh Reddick or Benintendi right now? I keep running out Benintendi for the upside and SB's, but damn Reddick is playing well.
Brad Johnson
5:05
Benintendi
5:06
You're asking a FanGraphs writer to decide between the better player and the hot hand
I'm contractually obligated

Kevin Gausman. Appealing enough upside to hold in a 16 team keeper franchise, or just a 27 y/o decent arm in a bad park?
Brad Johnson
5:06
Yea, hold
o'HOOLIGAN'S
5:06
Better stash in 5x5 catagories league, Gleyber Torres or Willy Calhoun? Position doesn't matter, most likely will be slotted into Util slot.
Brad Johnson
5:06
push

Do you think it's easier to win at dfs in contests with more or fewer people? What about with a full slate of games vs a short one?
Brad Johnson
5:06
Smaller is easier in my experience
5:07
But then you get $20 instead of $4,000
DRAGONWAGON

Need a replacement for Odor at 2B. Lowrie, Panik, Solarte, Beckham, who do you like?
Brad Johnson
5:07
Solarte bats cleanup!
Jose Martinez
5:07
I sure cooled off quickly. Everyone's favorite breakout player of the year no more.
Gregory Polanco
5:07
just went 0/5...breakout season isn't happening, folks.
Brad Johnson
5:07
Haters gone hate
Death of QS
5:08
Can you talk more about managers pulling starters early and the reduction in QS across the league? Are the top 25 SP more valuable than ever in QS leagues?
Brad Johnson
5:08
Yes. I hate QS leagues because there's only one strategy to SP. Roster a bunch of the best ones.
Johnny

Garrett Richards has had command issues. Think maybe he’s droppable in a 14 teaser?
Brad Johnson
5:09
Not that deep
10 team, yes
Adam

I find myself with 8 SP and 4CL (and Knebel on DL) in my 9-team mixed league.  So 3 SP are taking up all my bench spots and - though I have no glaring holes on offense - I want to rebalance, at least to have someone to plug in when a hitter gets a day off.  But it's early and I don't see any clear trading partners.  In a league this shallow, is there shame in dropping a good SP (MFulmer/Morton/Manaea level) to scoop up a reasonably decent hitter off the wire?
Brad Johnson
5:09
Can't drop Morton
5:10
I guess the other two could be cuttable. That's a shame though
Mr. Haney
5:10
In a 14 team redraft Roto league, how late is too late to get a second closer?  I have Allen only. I don't want to spend half of my FAAB again this year chasing potential or fill-in closers.  Thinking about offering a high level SP like Archer for a top closer (I have good strikeout pitchers).  Who's the best I could hope to get?
Brad Johnson
5:10
Maybe Osuna?
Kyle
5:10
Should I trade Acuna and CMart for Blackmon in a keep forever?
Brad Johnson
5:10
No
Acuna alone should be sufficient if you're going for it now
Sean
5:10
Are you buying Matt Chapman's plate discipline gains early on? Huge if it's sustainable.
Brad Johnson
5:10
Not sure, but I really like Chapman
Javier Baez
5:11
Trade Javy Baez after his 2 HR day if I have Semien? I'd package Baez in a 2-for-1 to upgrade a SP, let's say.
Brad Johnson
5:11
Sure?
