And my inquiry into Votto was met with an ask for my 2 best prospects "and it's probably still a no"
Joe

Can Gallo sustain these contact gains or is it time to sell high?
Brad Johnson
4:51
It's unclear. Gallo does have a long track record of successful adjustments. I'm hopeful.
But new adjustments means potential for new exploits

Please hold me and whisper that my team will get healthy.
Brad Johnson

Be patient. Fantasy leagues are only lost in April when you give up
The best thing you can do for your place in the standings is try to win during the months of July, August, and September

Sale for Flaherty?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Now we have ourselves a CO NUN DRUM
?
Sale (61.8% | 47 votes)
 
Flaherty (38.2% | 29 votes)
 
Total Votes: 76
4:53
fwiw, my votes on the first two would have been Votto and Marco
Pretty close to pushes though
In general, if I make it a poll, I think a coin flip is a reasonable way to answer the question

Laureano was my super sleeper for 2019 and I just can't let go...have him riding the fantasy pine after I scooped Polanco.  Bench batters is bad juju in a 12 team league...think he's still got 15/30 upside?  Please!
Brad Johnson
4:54
The 30 swipes is a stretch. It was always obvious he'd probably have some issues with his bat. What I liked is his defense ensures he remains on the field so he can work through things
4:55
He'll get hot at some point
I have to wrap up a little early today. We'll go another 5 minutes or so

Which slumping Brewer ends up having a better year - Aguilar or Shaw?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Shaw
B
4:55
Better Tampa surger to hold for later, Lowe, or Diaz?
Brad Johnson
4:56
For later, probably Lowe. I've always found myself fascinated by Diaz though
And the division does have plenty of fly ball pitchers - I think that's the main reason they acquired him
Travis
4:56
How certain are you that the Angels turn to Buttrey instead of Robles?
Brad Johnson
4:56
In the short term, not at all
Probably not even 50/50 anymore
4:57
But I'd still bet on him finishing the year with the most saves on their roster
And more importantly, the ratios play even without any saves
Z
4:57
Who is Cordell? The scouting reports are intriguing. He may have all the tools?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Except plate discipline or contact? It's possible the White Sox have some insight into picking out ideal matchups for him. So maybe he's a good DFS guy

Are they going to fully turn loaisiga loose?  Or will they keep monitoring his innings?
Brad Johnson
4:58
I'm sure they will monitor closely
The only players who aren't treated with kid gloves are the fringe types
RJ
4:59
How soon is Keston Hiura going to push a struggling bat to the bench in Milwaukee?
Brad Johnson
4:59
Well, he has a 1.4% BB rate and 33.8% K rate so I'm going to say it'll be a while
Gustavo

Hey Vlad Guerreto debut today? Really??
Brad Johnson
5:00
Not today. I think Friday is the latest rumor. Unless I missed something this afternoon.

morton for flaherty in a QS league?
Brad Johnson
5:01
EZ Flaherty
I Used To Be Mel Clarke

Would you still be holding Kyle Tucker in a 16 team, Keep 5 Forever? Or move on to someone like Cease?
Brad Johnson
5:02
Feel free to cast a net. I know that probably feels like a deep format, but if you screw up by cutting bait on a slow start like Tucker too soon, you can always find somebody almost exactly as good
