Brad Johnson
4:58
I think not actually
Jay

How improved would the Twins lineup be with an every day Astudillo?
Brad Johnson
4:59
The lineup would be fun! The defense might be a challenge. But he's playing more and more!
Miles
4:59
I want to sell on Paddack - his innings limit scares me in H2H leagues with playoffs late in the season - who could I reasonably get for him?
Brad Johnson
4:59
Maybe reach for Conforto types
Jesse Winker seems like an easy target
Or if you want pitching, that's always a high risk game. Probably somewhere in the Morton class. Maybe reach for Taillon with Paddack and a throw-in
AF

Worry about Eloy? He's not making nearly enough contact
Brad Johnson
5:00
No, this is exactly as expected
Dong Mattingly

OBP 5x5: Roberto Osuna and Jonathan Schoop or Zack Eflin, Pedro Strop, and Jeremy Jeffress?
Brad Johnson
5:00
Osuna, easily

Is Franchy pretty much done in San Diego?
Brad Johnson
5:00
For 2019, probably. Overall, no.
MattB
5:01
Better waiver claim if there's no specific reason to favor hitting or pitching: Pomeranz or Hunter Dozier?
Brad Johnson
5:01
Dozier
Smokin Lowed

B Lowe or J McNeil in a points league? Shaw has been killing me at 2B and need a filler til he figures it out or I get sick of him.
Brad Johnson
5:01
Depends on your points format, but I like McNeil as a steady option
CubFan
5:01
How much FAAB should one bid on Vlad when he comes up? 12 team AL only 5x5 keeper league using OBP. We start out with 100 units to bid with.
Brad Johnson
5:01
You're not going to get him for less than 100
5:02
Not sure if you want to though. That's a big bet on your roster never needing an important fix. Or a trade deadline add.
Nicholas
5:02
Where should we value Pete Alonso going forward? top 5 1B?
Brad Johnson
5:02
Let's let the season happen before we worry about that
5:03
Somewhere around Hoskins probably if you need an immediate valuation for trade purposes
Time to start wrapping up, I've got lineups to set!
Tommy
5:03
Drop Bell for Hunter Dozier?
Brad Johnson
5:03
No
Travioli
5:03
I know its a small sample but Mikolas is worrying me. Worth flipping him + Blake Parker for Patrick Corbin or can Miles get back to his elite self from last year?
Brad Johnson
5:03
Definitely grab Corbin
Super EZ trade
Blackbeard
5:03
Will Joc Pederson be 12 team relevant this year?
Brad Johnson
5:03
He already is
5:04
And always was
Tommy
5:04
Is David Peralta for Morton a fair deal especially if you need pitching?
Brad Johnson
5:04
More or less, I like Peralta's overall production more, but pitching is such a desert this year
Jim Leyland Palmer
5:04
Ketel or J Polanco? 5x5 wit OPS
Brad Johnson
5:04
Tough one! I'll take Ketel by a hair
Franklin R
5:04
Will Pederson ever get a shot at lefties? If not, can he crack 500 PA?
Brad Johnson
5:05
Not many because their roster is too deep. And by virtue of being deep, it should stay healthier.
Micah
5:05
J-Hey's on fire! Is this legit or would you take Pinder over Heyward ROS in 6x6 roto?
Brad Johnson
5:06
I really don't know what to do with Heyward right now. There actually are serious signs of breakout, but he's teased us before. We are still firmly in small sample land.
