Can/will Polanco get it together?  So far he's either extremely hot or extremely cold?  Still a 30/25 believer?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Never was a 30/25 believer
25/15 is doable
Sonny

Sevy & Zimmer for Betts & Knebel. Which side you prefer?
Brad Johnson
4:51
BETTS!!!!
4:52
So strongly preferred
don't even need Knebel in there
Josh

Max Kepler is lifting the ball more and is hitting FB/LD harder than ever before. Plus his BB/K rate is ridiculous right now. Early signs of a breakout?
Brad Johnson
4:52
I like him
Who knows
4:52
I have Lowrie and Cesar Hernandez as my two primary 2B, I have Jose Ramirez at 3B and can move Castellanos to 3B. Do I try sell high on Lowrie while he's hot, or do I hold.
Brad Johnson
4:52
As I discussed earlier, I don't think you'll find anybody willing to pay for the breakout. So you might as well have depth instead
YO

Do you play in any leagues on Yahoo!? Have you ever looked at the ‘trade market’ tool they have? Who are these people in these leagues that make these 8 player for 8 player trades? How could two teams matchup like that and both think they are getting a good deal? How do you even process if that helps you?
Brad Johnson
4:53
I do. I don't. And those big trades are in uncompetitive leagues
But...
To break them down, it's best to treat them like several tiny trades.
4:54
i.e. Trout for Stanton and a remainder of X
Chapman, Brach, and remainder for Arenado
etc...
Brett

Should I hold onto JP Crawford a while longer as a late round pick in a league where we can keep 7 players at their drafted round?  Or is it time to cut him and move on to someone else?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Unless it's 16 team or deeper (or NL Only), you can move on
the breakout isn't that great
Hans Gruber

Start Maeda against the Marlins tonoght? What about Ohtani?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Double yes
Puig
4:56
whats going on here? Everything seems to be in line...
Brad Johnson
4:56
Some added soft contact plus regression from last year
By all means, buy low
He's not hopeless, he's just not the stud people make him out to be
Peter

What happened to Tuesday nights having full slates? Yankees and reds joining the Indians in these earlier start times?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Seems like the early start is growing increasingly popular in crowded cities.
Randal Grichuk

Hey, thanks for the shoutout! Do you think I'll ever stick and break out in a meaningful way?
Brad Johnson
4:58
I won't say no. All the skills are present. Could pull a Smoak.

Who is DDS?
Brad Johnson
4:58
The Dentist?
Brett

Nick Pivetta is a top __ SP in mixed leagues ROS
Brad Johnson
4:58
No...please don't make me
Boof
4:58
What can we expect from Teoscar ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Frustration. Inconsistency. A lot of whiffs. And some wild hot streaks
Aaron
4:59
Think Hader will continue to get 2 inning saves when Knebel returns?  I was fortunate enough to roster him on opening day for some ratio help, and now he's leading my team in saves.
Brad Johnson
4:59
Not once Knebel is back
Brett
4:59
Who gets the next save opportunity for the White Sox?  And what are the odds the next save opportunity for the White Sox comes before the All-Star break?  (In other words, who, if anyone, is worth owning in the White Sox bullpen?)
Brad Johnson
4:59
It's Jones and Soria still in some unknown order
Hans Gruber
4:59
What should I do with Jordan Hicks in my 10-team H2H dynasty league with holds, saves, K/9, total K, and whip? He's not getting many whiffs and I can pick up the likes of Viz, Bearclaw, Steckenrider, or Cingrani ( 4 holds and decent ratios). Drop him for one of the above, or invest in the 101 MPH fastball?
