Patty V

Ozuna's been struggling, and I was higher on him pre-season than even the 40-50 range of his ADP. What do?
Brad Johnson
4:41
I was very concerned that Ozuna was coming off an unrepeatable career season. That's what it's looking like right now. Only thing you can do is be patient or find somebody willing to pay full sticker price to "buy low"
Suarez's Magical Fingers

Dude I don't want to lose my spot to that Senzatel guy. Who is that anyway??
Brad Johnson
4:42
You just signed a long term contract extension. You're safe

lol maybe I am confused by what u mean by "baseball acumen." I'm seeing a lot of the same responses from experts about Franchy (toolsy, unpolished). And I see a winter league MVP with huge ISOs and a minor league K rate mid-20s, which ain't all bad these days esp with that tool bag. What are his biggest holes that u see?
Brad Johnson
4:43
Plate discipline, pitch recognition, the actual hit tool
He's a powerful, speedy player who may not make enough contact to be a regular. I kind of view him as Randal Grichuk with a better pedigree
which means he'll get a decade to figure it out
Josh R

Does Ian Desmond just suck for good now?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Sure seems like it. I don't have any additional insight
I'm getting a lot of questions about him, presumably because he stands in the way of Dahl/Tapia/McMahon playing regularly.
Jobu

Are you buying Zach Godley keeping it up?  I was offered Quintana or Robbie Ray for him and Treinen.  I'm set at closer
Brad Johnson
4:45
I view Godley as the same asset class. No issues with betting on Ray instead though. I'd aim just a little higher than Ray though for that pair. Remember, you're helping an opponent with those saves even if you don't need 'em
ThePrince

If Wisler has a good start vs. the Reds tomorrow is he worth hanging onto?  What's his upside?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Nah, his upside is a streamer.
Sonny

Semien must own in 10t mixed?
Brad Johnson
4:46
MI - yes. No MI - no.
David
4:46
Thoughts on Christian Villanueva? Is he for real? Obviously the AVG will come down, but in an OPS league, does he have ROS value?
Brad Johnson
4:46
Yes!
To the third question
4:47
I do think opponents are going to find a gnarly hole in his swing. Might be 2017 Story-like without the speed
James
4:47
Kershaw for Sale, what are your thoughts?
Brad Johnson
4:47
CHALLENGE TRADE
Aaron
4:47
I don't understand why some analysts are still in on Colin Moran.  Guy hits 7th and only plays 75% of the time.  The Pirates lineup isn't stellar but it's deep enough he's not going to climb into a better lineup spot without forcing his way up there
Brad Johnson
4:47
It's situational. If your league is shallow enough that platoon bats aren't playable, then you can safely ignore him
4:48
He's a solid high floor guy for leagues where you have to scrape a little deeper. There's potential for him to adjust and become a legit full timer
What's the real worth
4:48
Albies for 7 years and $12 total salary, or Trout for 4 years and $53 total salary - $150 yearly cap..  I didn't think it was close but now I'm not so sure I don't prefer Albies.  Am I crazy?
Brad Johnson
4:48
I read this wrong twice...
4:49
Could imagine how you could spend 1/3rd of your budget on one player - even Trout :)
It's still Trout. Always Trout. Both are wonderful assets though
Sonny
4:49
Extremely cheap Severino (like 6ys for relatively little) is worth what type of hitter? Trout is off the table but worth asking on the 1a tier of players?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Yes.
4:50
Or just keep him
Mo
4:50
gattis or suzuki ROS in 5x5 H2H league?
Brad Johnson
4:50
Well, Suzuki is shockingly the better player
Flowers is almost back from the DL though
Anoneemus
4:50
Drop Wacha for Cahill  in a 10 team dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Can do
Vegan Man!
4:51
Matt Chapman and Eduardo Rodriguez or Matt Olson in a 14 team dynasty points league? Thank you!
Brad Johnson
4:51
Chapman is better than Olson
