Chavis for Musgrove? 12 teams 10 keepers league
Brad Johnson
4:35
Chavis is a better long term asset, Musgrove is a much harder to fill type of asset
It depends on the state of your roster and needs. A keep 120 league is shallow enough that you shouldn't be thinking about keeping either of these guys.
4:36
You can hem and haw about keeper value with the top 25 or so guys, after that, just get what you need right now and deal with the consequences later. The opportunity cost is small.

with legalized sports gambling growing are you going to migrate towards that or will you stick with DFS?
Brad Johnson
4:37
This might not be a popular opinion around here, or from a DFS guy, but sportsbetting is gross.
DFS is kind of gross too. 16% rakes as an industry standard? Really?
4:38
It's an entirely online industry, the rake should be like 2.5%
Quadrangular
4:38
relatedly, will Voit's playing time suffer with Stanton and Judge back in the mix, or is it mostly dependent on performance? I'm thinking if he continues to hit like this he maintains full-time play
Brad Johnson
4:38
Pretty much has to play at this point. Outperforming Stanton at the very least.

What should we expect out of Sano? Better than Shaw?
Brad Johnson
4:39
I wouldn't expect it
Hope for, certainly, but Sano was as bad as current Shaw before injury, and he actually always looked like that guy
Current Shaw could magically morph into 2016-2018 Shaw
4:40
We can hope 2019 Sano is actually 2018 Sano who was really bad luck 2016-2017 Sano. That gets confusing pretty quick
Do You Wanna Build A Stroman?
4:40
Haven't bought the new version but OOTP seems like it misses on opposing GM trade offers and trade values in general. Did these improve in the new game?
Brad Johnson
4:41
They're not... great... at trades
Very Dave Stewart
They do have a hard mode where the computer basically forces you to overpay in every move, but you can still do it in a way that is strongly in your favor
4:42
My recommendation is to force yourself to role play it
4:43
Trade a prospect for an expiring veteran stud rather than 30-year-old minor league contract veterans.
Even if the computer would have taken less. You know what's actually reasonable.
Alonso or nothing
4:43
Will P Alonso of first three weeks return?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Ebb and flow. You should have always expected the league to adjust. He'll counteradjust.
PB
4:44
Have all the injuries and SP issues caused you to rethink strategy?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Honestly, I picked the wrong year to have this many teams. I can't get out of the weeds long enough to do that kind of thinking
I'm just putting out fires constantly.

H. Dozier is up for auction in my ottoneu 4x4. $15 bid isn't crazy, is it? No surplus value, but nor is it an overpay, right?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Seems reasonable
vlad
4:45
Are you worried about my son's slow start?  Maybe too much hype?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Nope, he looks comfortable enough to me. I pick him in DFS every day. He's going to win me some money.
Oscar Mercado
4:45
Dear God when will Cleveland finally promote me?? It's not like their outfield/offense doesn't suck.
Brad Johnson
4:46
Nor is Mercado forcing the issue
Shaun
4:46
Why would the Padres trade high for Mejia and then not let him play? Makes no sense and a waste of a trade of Hand.
Brad Johnson
4:47
As a team, you're constantly evaluating your resources. And you tend to get a surge of information only after you've acquired a guy.
