Brad, I need to activate Realmuto off the DL. Candidates to drop are Josh Fields, Hirano, Jacob Barnes, $6 Avisail Garcia, $5 Dyson, and $6 Derek Fisher. 16 team 5x5 where SB & SV’s are scarce. With Marisnick scuffling, will Fisher start seeing AB’s? Is Barnes no longer a possibility for SV’s? Is Boxberger going to blow up soon? Is Kenley still looking sketchy? These are the things I am pondering!! Thx
Brad Johnson

Hirano is probably the guy I cut
Kenley's looking good enough too
I'd hang onto Barnes and the bats

What do you make of Joey Votto in keeper leagues? It's an OPS league where we keep 10 MLB guys and 3 MiLB guys.
Brad Johnson
4:11
It's about time to convert him into a younger stud. Might have to wait for him to go nuts first. You might as well benefit some too.
Hanley back to being Manly
4:12
Are you a little more optimistic or am I still shi**in' you?
Brad Johnson
4:12
I mean, are we going to get a full season of this?
No. He's already been banged up once or twice.
4:13
I still like fully healthy Hanley, but that's a rare beast to catch

Starting to get some Jose Bautista 2017 vibes here, and I don't like them one bit.  Too early to panic?
Brad Johnson
4:14
I've been waiting for the bottom to fall out since before last season. Was one of my bold predictions. I think he'll abruptly cliff dive. That said, I'm still buying if his owner is panicking.
Andy

Any pitchers with a bad start i should go after?
Brad Johnson
4:14
McCullers is the most obvious.
Darwin Dooley

Matt Davidson droppable in 14 team OBP league?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Yes
4:15
Though he probably should be owned by somebody
assuming it's a CI and/or 2 UTIL league
Biggy

Pick a side, dammit!  Hand and Yelich or Jose Ramirez and Godley.
Brad Johnson
4:15
I'll take Ramirez

Buying Villanueva's start? Him or Pujols ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:16
I'll buy him over Pujols
That's different than buying the start though
Pujols is such a dud now
4:17
I worry Villanueva is kind of a fresh new Schimpf
He'll definitely continue to hit home runs. I'm not sure he'll hit much of anything else.
Definitely worth stashing in 12 team and deeper
Think I have 4 shares.
Biggy

Xander a good guy for a trade for Albies?  Fair?
Brad Johnson
4:18
redraft, sure. dynasty, sure.

Not naming names, but some "experts" in other venues have started to suggest dropping Michael Fulmer for the some of the latest SSS phenoms, including Lucchesi. Seems a bit short-sighted, no? I mean, I understand Fulmer's K limitations and the potential lack of wins on a bad team. But still, he's only 25, has been very successful for a good chunk of innings, and still seems to have some untapped upside. Buy low opportunity?
Brad Johnson
4:18
You're not dropping Fulmer in anything deeper than 10 team

Got offered gohara for pivetta in deeper league keeper... should i accept?
Brad Johnson
4:18
I wouldn't.

10 tm AL only roto. With Bird out, my starting 1B is Danny Valencia. Should I trade Faria for Hanley? I believe Hanley only needs 1 more start to be 1B eligibile
Brad Johnson
4:19
Valencia should play regularly for the next week. That said, Faria for Hanley seems like a fine valuation
Andy
4:20
is matt chapman's start creating a believers/nonbelievers line in the sand? what say you?
Brad Johnson
4:20
I believe, with the caveat that there's some impending regression. He's made some real improvements though.

Aaron Sanchez for Puig in a points league? Should I or shouldn't I?
Brad Johnson
4:21
I like Sanchez more. But I'm known for some hot takes on Puig...
