I think you're too late. Go ahead and ask around.
Remember Leclerc is a splitter guy
They ALWAYS lose feel once or twice a season
Then they usually rediscover it and go ham
So I'd buy low on Leclerc or hold
Larry

How much do you believe in Puig? Would you drop him for Hicks?
Brad Johnson
4:32
I like Hicks more, but I want to see him healthy first
and I'd be willing to risk losing Hicks to be sure he's good to go
Mark
4:33
Is Nick Margevicius good enough to stay in the rotation all year or is he just a placeholder until one of the more highly regarded prospects step up?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Placeholder imo
The stuff is just so pedestrian
By profile, I'm reminded a little of Brent Suter
Dave
4:34
Is Buttrey even next in line?  Seems like Robles has been seeing a lot of the 8th, while Buttrey has been deployed all over.
Brad Johnson
4:34
It's hard to say. I still prefer to bet on best reliever over the long term
Buttrey is maybe a top 10 reliever leaguewide.
Robles is just a guy
Mark

Do you like Bauer or Thor more in a dynasty setup?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Bauer
AF
4:35
How much pop do you think Jeff McNeil has? What would be your over/under for RoS HR's?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Not a ton
Maybe around 10 or 12
Assuming 600 PA or so
4:36
There's just not much lift or hard contact
But he does get to visit CBP
He's a Dahl
4:36
I have to cut B Dozier, H Dozier, Laureano or Kepler to activate polanco. which scrub goes to the wire?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Not Hunter is about as far as I've gotten in a minute of contemplation
Probably Kepler since Polanco is a OFer too
Mark
4:37
Do you think Nico Hoerner has a chance to come up and be deep league relevant this year?
Brad Johnson
4:37
It's always hard to say with the Cubs
4:38
They're extra careful with some guys then rush others
I like his contact skills though. Seems like they play immediately
Kind of a better Jeff McNeil maybe
(better in a real world sense)
Pumba
4:38
Verdugo someone you targeting at all?
Brad Johnson
4:39
He's not the right fit for any of my rosters
I like him though
OF Depth

Frustrated right now with my combo of Acuna (no frustration there), Benintendi, Winker, F.Reyes, Hampson & Bauers in my 3 OF spots/DH.  Whoever i continually switch out they go cold, & then the benched players heat up.  Who are you everyday plays (besides Acuna)
Brad Johnson
4:39
Hampson and Bauers are the bench
Use the other 4 whenever they're starting. Can bench Winker against tough LHP.

Correct answer re: LAA closer is Hansel Robles.
