Kinda Eduardo Rodriguez-ish. Breakout potential, a K per inning, inconsistent other stuff
Laura

WOuld you trade Seager for Michael Fulmer. Anthony Alford and Austin meadows in a dynasty league?
Brad Johnson
4:41
I would not
Willie Calhoun
4:41
in a keep forever league, how would you value Seager right now? How much value has he lost?
Brad Johnson
4:41
1%?
Like basically none unless you don't have a bench or DL

How close really is the race between the Astros, Red Sox, and Yankees? Is there any sizable advantage for any of these teams?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I'm not buying the Sox as anywhere close to the Yankees and Astros. I know the number machines disagree, but I think that's a brittle roster.
They can absorb a lot and still be good, but those other two clubs are historically elite
They're just not the same

is Ian Happ gonna get a chance to figure it out at Wrigley, or you think there's a stint back in Iowa before he turns it around? Dropped Kipnis for him but I need some daily juice at 2B from that roster spot sooner rather than later.
Brad Johnson
4:43
Better hope it happens soon. The wind is blowing out and he hits a lot of fly balls. Could provide value even with 45% K rate

What stat numbers do you pay the most attention to when researching players? i.e. O-Swing, Z-Swing, BABIP etc
Brad Johnson
4:44
Kinda depends what's happening on the surface. Often, I don't need to go beyond BB, K, and SwStr rates for gauging discipline
at least for vets
If I want to examine a change, I'll dip into the swing/take rates
I mostly want to know about their batted balls

D. Price, G. Richards, and N. Mazara for Haniger and McCullers.  Which side wins?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Haniger and McCullers by miles
at least in redraft
Prefer it in dynasty too, but at least time is cruelly unpredictable

I got Stroman off waivers for literally free.  Didn't drop anyone cuz had an open spot after a 2 for 1 trade.  Did I overpay?
Brad Johnson
4:46
I have a couple stashed shares. I'm not playing him at the moment
AB

are clevinger and chase anderson sell high or holds?
Brad Johnson
4:46
sell the crap out of Anderson. Undecided on Clevinger
A Random Dude

assess instead of assets
chuckle
assess...oooh, i word-played myself
Brad Johnson
4:46
I don't know what's happening here

my mom always said that you could get sick if you eat toast that's too burnt. however, my dad always said CINDY IT DOESNT TASTE THAT BAD LET HIM EAT IT. sonny gray is toast. should i continue to take bites out of this or is it just too burnt?
Brad Johnson
4:47
Kind of like Stroman, I'm ok with holding shares so long as you don't use 'em until he's better
Ted Williams

10 team points league: would you drop Luis Castillo for Pivetta or Mikolas?
Brad Johnson
4:48
Strongly tempting for either. Small preference for Pivetta.
I think Castillo will figure it out, but you don't have to be patient in a 10-teamer
Sox Owner
4:48
In a dynasty league, should I accept a trade for Y. Moncada (only $7 next year) if I have Altuve ($36 next year)?
Brad Johnson
4:48
Well... depends on the quality of the trade. But yes, Altuve is a solid "alternative" to Moncada
Snake the Jake
4:48
Pick a side, 10 team roto keeper:
A) Rizzo and A Simmons
B) Haniger, Jed Lowrie, Josh Bell
Brad Johnson
4:49
Ooh, tricky
think I'm going Haniger today
could seriously regret that
