The Red Sox and Mets have the worst beat writers. They literally make the teams worse with their coverage
4:48
A graph of reporter WAR would show 28 teams with 0 WAR and two with -5 WAR
Jules Verne

What's Seranthony's role in September?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Jumping the gun a bit
4:50
Though I will continue to recklessly comp him to rookie season Edwin Diaz

who's the handcuff for felipe in PIT
Brad Johnson
4:50
Michael Feliz and Edgar Santana
Feliz has been terrible though
I'm rostering Santana
Richard Rodriguez has video game numbers, but they don't seem to like him
Maybe they think he can become overexposed

Jeremy Hellickson his xFIP has been great this year the betting market doesn't give him much respect. Is he due for some regression?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Not much
He's cut down on his fastball usage
which is good because it sucks
His offspeed stuff is all good
Wacha is doing the same thing
They're both short outing guys

Is Hoskins droppable in a 8 team league with short benches? I'm having a hard time playing him and no one wants him in trade...what a change a month makes...
Brad Johnson
4:52
Pretty sure everybody is droppable if they aren't elite
Just gotta manage your categories
Even if somebody should own him, it's not necessarily you
And you can probably make a better "trade" with the waiver wire than a rival

Is Tyler ONeill going to take over an OF spot in STL for the rest of the season?
Brad Johnson
4:52
I'll call it 50/50
4:53
The longer Dex takes to show signs of life, the more likely it becomes
We're already up from 10/90 in favor of Dex only 3 weeks ago
Stant 'n Deliver
4:53
Nimmo or Acuna ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:53
Ah, I'll say Nimmo

are all red sox fans the worst or just the ones that post online
Brad Johnson
4:54
The ones in the stadium are pretty heinous
I happen to know a bunch of good ones, but I don't interact with them online or at stadiums
So maybe it's like a werewolf transformation type thing
4:55
Or maybe stats nerds aren't susceptible to troll disease
Ironically, Mets fans are the only ones that are comparably bad in-stadium
Perhaps there is a causal link between fanbase and reporter WAR

Would you trade Alex Reyes for Benintendi in a dynasty league
Brad Johnson
4:55
Yes
4:56
Reyes could be special. Benintendi is special
Dan

Reporter WAR lol...the Red Sox definitely have the worst beat writers
