Brad Johnson
4:23
Previously, he hadn't shown enough aptitude for contact to make more than 20 HR realistic
KC
4:24
Are you taking the wait a see approach with Nick Pivetta?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Yes. Probably a stash and see approach technically

JD Davis seems to be crushing the ball. Is he worth a pickup as he gets more of a role?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Yes, let's see if he turns into something
Connor Joe Buck
4:24
How high do you go on Matt Manning? Dynasty ottoneu league
Brad Johnson
4:24
$1
4:25
Always $1 for pitching prospects
If for some reason you actively want to add pitching prospects, just go to the next guy until you get one
There are basically 3 types of prospects
4:26
1. $1 guys
2. Overpriced guys
3. Guys who fell through the cracks and are now MLB contributors
You can bid more for category 3
and there are certainly exceptions to the rules

who is the most droppable out of these batters in a points league format: franmil, puig, meadows, eloy, hunter dozier?
Brad Johnson
4:27
Puig seems to be waking up
4:28
Dozier's still going
Meadows shows no signs of slowing
Franmil has a top 10 HR projection despite some PT limits
4:29
Jimenez, despite possibly the most physical ability of the batch, is clearly the weak link right now
You should be able to trade him though
BigTuna
4:29
DJ stewart was crushing AAA. You adding in 12 tm leagues? Or watching?
Orioles
4:29
If he gets full PT for ROS, what kind of upside (in terms of HR/OBP/SB) does DJ Stewart offer owners?
Brad Johnson
4:30
So, I think this is a case of a mature hitter feasting on weaker competition. I'm offput by a high swinging strike rate and merely decent HR total despite all the favorable conditions
4:31
I think for 12-team, he's not more than a streamer
Maybe watchlist him

I'd been planning on packaging Austin Meadow to acquire an ace in my dynasty H2H points league. But he just keeps hitting and producing and his pts/g has been top-10 all year. Has he reached his peak trade-value or can his value still rise?
Brad Johnson
4:31
He's probably peaked
The bigger issue is finding a pitcher of comparable value
I'd be hard pressed to identify one right now
Bring Back DeSpaniel Hair
4:32
Try and trade for Bauer while he is all out of sorts? Banking on him tinkering back to studly?
Brad Johnson
4:32
We exist in pitcher hell
It's as good a bet as any
I'd love to offer a more proactive and positively phrased answer
4:33
But I've come to believe the answer to pitching this year is to close your eyes and pray to Willians
Random
4:33
Fwiw I got judge for cutch
Brad Johnson
4:33
This is light but much more in line with my expectations
4:34
Previously somebody asked what to pay for Judge in redraft and said his offer of Alonso was already rejected.
Moelicious
4:34
You were right about Christian Walker. That is all
Brad Johnson
4:34
I'm going to take this victory lap because it's become damned hard to be right about anything for predictable reasons
4:35
Everything is squirmy this year. There are no truths
