Selling Paxton in a keeper league? health worries me, but the stats are great when he's on.
Brad Johnson
4:21
I find he's basically unsellable for that reason
Big Tuna

I slipped into 10th place in my roto league after slow starts from my top guys (Altuve, Trea, Cruz, Donaldson). How long until my freakout about my standing is actually justifiable?
Brad Johnson
4:22
I'm in 10th in one league with Altuve, McCullers, and a few others.
Probably late-July
People worry about the standings WAY too early. It's great to have an early lead, but you can make up a lot of ground in the middle months when everybody gets lazy

Re: Olson vs. Gallo - wOBA of .317 vs. .321 so far.  Olson IS pulling a Gallo.
Brad Johnson
4:23
I think the commenter wanted 6 HR from Olson too

Would you take Reynaldo Lopez over either Skaggs or Mikolas?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Mikolas is my preferred of the trio

Are you confident Ryan Braun will "do his thing" this year? That is, roughly 20 HRs, double-digit steals, over .800 OPS?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Not really. I don't like them using him at first base
Kind of like using Wil Myers in the outfield
4:24
Oh look, he's already hurt (both of them)
Surprise!

Cut ties with Tim Beckham for Ben Zobrist?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Can do

The service time clock for an extra year of control strikes tomorrow right?  We might see a few minor leaguers start to be sprinkled in shortly thereafter?
Brad Johnson
4:24
I thought it was last Friday or Saturday
the guys who are supposed to get a call are all struggling

What’s the most important sabermetics stats to follow for dfs
Brad Johnson
4:25
Probably wOBA and SIERA
If you're looking to keep it simple
lineup role and matchups are almost more important than player quality
Spencer

Do you think Votto for Matt Chapman is fair in a keep forever?
Brad Johnson
4:26
Maybe. I feel like I want a throw in on the Votto side

If you had better matchups, i.e. Coors Field, all RHP v a LHH OFer, etc. would you ever bench Stanton for a given week? The Ks are alarming, April notwithstanding.
Brad Johnson
4:27
It would have to be a pretty good player
like Chris Taylor or Tommy Pham good

I've got Rizzo with 2b eligibility in a keeper league. My team won't be competitive this year. I need to shop him when he get's hot, right?
Brad Johnson
4:27
Seems wise to me
4:28
don't force anything though
so often I see people get nothing for their stars

Traded Goldy and Dozier for Trout and Berrios. How did I do?
Brad Johnson
4:28
+1
Any time you acquire Trout, you won
Mallex Smith

O/U Mallex Smith ROS: .343 OBP, 28 SB
Brad Johnson
4:28
under under
.328 OBP/23.5 SB is my line
