I missed Darvish's start. Not too concerned about Iglesias yet either.

I've got a fan crush on Willians Austilldo.  I can't let him go but he isn't playing enough.  I picked up Austin Barnes last night off waivers.  I know its the right thing to drop him, but I just can't bring myself to do it.  What would you do with Willians???
Brad Johnson
4:48
I'm stashing him. But I knew this would happen so I only have him in leagues I can be patient

Domingo Santana is a 2nd round pick next year.  If I'm wrong you give me $20
Brad Johnson
4:49
Good try

I never understood why the Dodgers signed him in the first place
He's a middle reliever
4:50
The kind that takes a split contract every year
I'm baffled

Another question -- dynasty -- 12 team, OBP league.  Better backup -- Marte or A. Rosario?
Brad Johnson
4:50
Marte
Alfaro Sprouts

20+ HRs for Jorge Alfaro?  Top 5 catcher?
Brad Johnson
4:50
I'll take 20 HR. Not quite top 5
Should play enough to be useful
4:51
One thing that really scares me is that he's needed over-.400 BABIPs to be relevant in the past

Deep mixed. Hampson or Lourdes for MI? Also chances Swarzak closes?
Brad Johnson
4:51
I'll gamble Hampson
4:52
Swarzak is interesting
I think the chance is pretty low - in the 15-40% range
but... if he's closing, he's probably top 15-20
(of closers)

They saw his 11IP where he located his FB high and he completely stopped throwing his slider and relied on like a 60/30/10 mix of FF/CB/CH, thought they could replicate his success.

So far he kept a similar pitch mix, but locating them completely different to disastrous results

Right. This is why this class of reliever doesn't get guaranteed deals
They have hot streaks where they hit spots
And then they go cold and you have to cut them or live through pain

Mike Trout was dropped in one league.. can we drug test this person?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Grounds for immediate expulsion

12 team roto keeper.. trade Castellanos and Conforto for Bregman... Which side?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Bregman

Garage Inc. is all covers so Hetfield really likes songs ABOUT bread.
Brad Johnson
4:54
I somehow never noticed this
4:55
Oh, going back a step, I'm not convinced anyone is going to employ Castellanos next year.
There are like 4 teams that might be able to use him and would even bother

in a league that counts holds and also saves, do i drop any of these guys when aj minter comes back? may/neris/rondon. thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:55
Any

Lamb, Longoria or Candelario as a replacement?
Brad Johnson
4:56
Candelario or Longoria as of today. Lamb's timeshare isn't friendly
Anduno

Trade Eaton for Muncy in an OBP league?
