Given their experience with Paul Goldschmidt, they really should
Goldy, if you'll recall, was a minor league masher who wasn't really well-regarded as a prospect
A lot of lazy comps to Mark Reynolds at the time
4:12
btw, this is Kevin Cron we're discussing.
A 26-year-old who was promoted after hitting 21 home runs in 199 plate appearances.
4:13
in Triple-A

In redrafts, is Paddack really a sell? Maybe only 100 innings but they’re probably really good and he might get September starts
Brad Johnson
4:13
He's a shop
I think you have to see what's available, but at the same time, there really isn't much out there pitching at the same level
And selling guys with innings caps is a dated strategy
4:14
For all but maybe 5 or 10 pitchers, you're trying to squeeze 120 good innings then figuring out the rest from pop-up guys like Corbin Martin and Mitch Keller
And hoping to find the next big thing in the process
Jones
4:14
Matt boyd or woodruff ros?
Brad Johnson
4:14
EZ Boyd for me
4:15
There's a little bit of JA Happ in the profile to me in that I've grown to expect him to outperform his stuff
Maybe that's a mistake, maybe it's not
Kitch Meller
4:16
Franchy still intriguing stash for 20 team league?
Brad Johnson
4:16
Yea, still talented
Might take a long time for the right opportunity to emerge
John
4:16
With regular playing time, do you think Jacoby Jones could get to 15hr and 20 steals Ros?
Brad Johnson
4:16
He has the speed. The power feels ambitious
4:17
I think he could get to 15 HR total
Maybe
Also, he'll crush your AVG
Corbin Martin
4:17
How long is Martin's leash after a pair of dud outings where his control looked so erratic?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Not long
Pitching sucks
4:17
Are you picking up Plesac for tonight's game?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Looks like a rainout to me
4:18
I missed because I was travelling, but I would only stash him, not use him
kobrien
4:18
Someone dropped Josh Donaldson in my league. I snagged him, do you expect a decent return moving forward?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Yes, "decent" being the operative word
Manny
4:19
What range of player can be used to acquire Judge? Offered pete alonso to no avail. I expect judge back after all star break
Brad Johnson
4:19
Alonso is already a ballsy offer
It sounds like Judge simply isn't available at a reasonable price
Fred Rick
4:19
Reanato Nunez -- Hunter Renfroe -- same person?
Brad Johnson
4:19
No...
I mean, I'll do some due diligence
4:21
Ok, I see what you're getting at
4:22
The difference is Hunter Renfroe is a 3 or 4 win outfielder and Nunez is a rep level 3B. There are certain similarities
4:23
I'll also congratulate Nunez for improving from one of the very worst players in the league to merely bad. Adding actual power to his profile is an important achievement
