Hey folks, I lost track of time while building DFS lineups. We'll get started in a moment.

Franchy or Teoscar for long term keeper?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Franchy, I think. They're both high variance profiles. I kind of see the same floor and median outcomes with Franchy having more upside.

Thank you for hosting SEAGER REPLACEMENT CHAT. Thoughts on Healy right now? He's my replacement (Machado moves to SS) over guys like Cozart, Davidson, Andujar, Peraza. 10 team standard H2H. Senzel still worth stashing to replace this bunch?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Can stash Senzel. I prefer Davidson and Cozart to Healy.
They're all pretty similar, albeit with very different stat distributions.

Who you want most for saves out of AJ Minter, Joe Jiminez, or Jose Alvarez?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Minter. I really don't think Jimenez is ever a closer. Not based on any time I've watched him pitch

Is there anything in Conforto's peripherals (or video of his swing, for that matter) to indicate that his shoulder is still not healthy?  The lack of power thus far is concerning, recognizing it's still maybe SSS for him.

How we feeling about Chris Taylor ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Whoops, doubled up. Conforto first
4:08
When he came back so quickly, I was concerned.
Miraculous returns usually mean the player is lying or over-taxing himself
4:09
So structural weakness, if not pain, could be affecting Conforto's power.
4:10
As for Taylor, he's not locked into everyday reps. So that's good. Increasingly risky we're looking at a .700 OPS with better fantasy than real world stats. He'll remain useful.
Aaron

Expected ROS ERA and WHIP for R.Lopez?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Like a 4.75 ERA and 1.45 WHIP?
Maybe a little under both
Matt
4:11
How long until Norris is the clear closer?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Forever
He'll always be the temporary patch - at least until they give up on contending
4:12
If Holland can't get in on the action, they'll turn to Gregerson or Leone or Hicks or Reyes or somebody else.

I feel like Enrique Hernandez, if he becomes a full time player now, is not such a bad fill in all by himself. Especially if it's a league where his all-over-the-diamond eligibility plays...
Brad Johnson
4:12
True, the caveat being the need for everyday play. And if his body can handle it.
He's never really done it successfully

Need a replacement for Seager. Story, Swanson, or Marte. NL-only keeper league. Could Godley get me Story?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Story is the best option by a mile. And Godley is close enough to try.
I'm a big Story fan.

In the vein of Seager replacement, would you take Swanson, Anderson, or Segura?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Segura

Seager victim  here, had to pick up Peraza ... he's still fast but not stealing, do you think he ends up a serviceable SS fillin right now? His star has dimmed to non existence but he's put together a torrid week
Brad Johnson
4:14
Works as a patch until you find better.

Gotta choose between Cahill and Marco Gonzales for my AL-only league? Who do I go for?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Cahill

My team is struggling.  I got guys like dex fowler and puig --- have you looked at them deeply at all?  I think their peripherals look solid but they've been awful.   Should I be patient?  or trade?   or drop them for other duds like heyward, granderson, moran, Pederson)?
Brad Johnson
4:14
I have a lot of Fowler shares
-0.6 WAR :(
Also, I agree the peripherals scream buy low
I'm a little less sold on Puig, but I've always been a doubter of his
4:15
To quote myself circa last October, "he's mediocre"
