Brad Johnson
4:11
I'm a Marte believer myself. I like Senzel too, but I don't think he's going to meet expectations this year. Too much swing and miss.
The early profile was a patient, high contact guy. Now he's vaguely patient and low contact.
Cosmo
4:12
Is Joey Gallo Khris Davis now?
Brad Johnson
4:12
Joey Gallo was always something different (and arguably better) than Davis
He would have needed to get worse to become Davis.
Matt #2
4:12
What are you doing with Taillon?  Waiting on second opinion?  Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:12
I'm holding, but my shares happen to be dynasty where I'm liable to wait through the whole damned TJS if needed.
Steve
4:13
12 team mixed: I need to cut Robles for Luke Jackson ASAP, right?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Uh, that's a push imo. They're both temp guys.
4:14
I'm not buying Jackson's no fastball approach as sustainable. Not with his minus command.
Pine Needles
4:14
Franmil Reyes or Nomar Mazara?
Brad Johnson
4:14
So EZ Franmil
Did I mention he IS Khris Davis
Bob
4:14
Do you think Puig will come around or would you be more interested in Franmil Reyes for ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:14
I think Puig will rebound, and I prefer Reyes.
Twins
4:14
Have the Twins become a line-up to avoid with streamers? Have a couple blue jays (Sanchez, Thornton) that I'm thinking of sitting.
Brad Johnson
4:14
For those sorts of streamers, yes, I'd avoid
4:15
A class level up, you can use (i.e. Gausman, Archer)

someone dropped Darvish.  worth a pickup in hopes he figures out the walks a bit?  I could drop Peacock.
Brad Johnson
4:15
eh, I shouldn't have clicked this one
I don't have an opinion :)
You can stash Darvish, stick with Peacock, or check behind Door #3.
4:16
They're all low value dart throws with some upside.
Slurve
4:16
What's a good rule of thumb for (limited) production vs. consistent playing time?  and/or at what points do the daily starters lose value?  or is it more dependent on the fantasy scoring for each league....
Brad Johnson
4:17
Scoring definitely matters. For example, in ottoneu FGpts, I'll often prefer a middling leadoff hitter to a better platoon bat.
The key, usually, is to focus on hitting your GP limits then worry about marginal quality upgrades.
Tommy Sells
4:17
Is Jesus Aguilar even worth grabbing off the wire in a dynasty league at this point?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Definitely.
He's a pretty obvious hot and cold hitter. And he's shown a little life lately.
Pine Needles
4:18
I have both Yandy and HDozier, hoping one of their breakouts stick. Which should I be starting every day?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Dozier.
Can pop Diaz in against high fastball pitchers.
B
4:18
Who to start as my OF3? FReyes, or DSantana? Have Blackmon and Marte.
Brad Johnson
4:19
Easy. Reyes when he's in, Santana when he's not.
What's with all the Reyes heat today?
Theodore
4:19
Would you claim a $16 Robbie Ray just dropped in Ottoneu FGpts if it ate up all of your salary room?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Maybe? Depends on my needs and how Ray might meet them.
Moltar
4:19
Middle-reliever-with-SP-eligibility, do you like Gant or Urias ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Urias more
RMR
4:19
Is Senzel in the OF for the long haul?  Or is he back in the infield next year?
