I'd look for an excuse to use Dahl (i.e. stay on top of the weather)

Leclerc or Matt Barnes ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Barnes, I guess
Bonmp

Can't Franmil hit for a better avg than Kris Davis?  He has the skills to right?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Not really...
Franmil
4:58
Thanks for all the love today. I enjoy hitting home runs.

Re: Paddack. I guess what I'm asking is: should I sell high before I get to my H2H playoffs?
Brad Johnson
4:59
Certainly can look into it.

What is wrong with Givens? Good skills and a full time closer role.
Brad Johnson
5:00
Is he? He has only 4 saves in part because he's frequently used in a way that makes him unavailable to close. He's a roughly 4.00 ERA, 9.5 K/9,  1.15 WHIP reliever. I'd rather roster Ryan Pressly.

Is Nathaniel Lowe worth a pick-up?
Brad Johnson
5:00
In most settings
Larry Hutz

Trade Devers at $15 for Ohtani at $18 in FGPTs?
Brad Johnson
5:01
It's bold. You're playing for something big in 2020 with Ohtani

Any thoughts on rolling out the Rays duo Castillo/Alvarado in a deep format daily moves league? I tend to buy lots of committee bullpen arms, currently 4 part time closers, in this format and just rotate in my starters based on matchups.
Brad Johnson
5:01
I have several Alvarado/Castillo pairings
And a bunch of solo Castillos because he was MUCH cheap on draft day for the same projection.

Can you explain to me how DFS is less gross than sports betting?
Brad Johnson
5:03
If you try hard enough, you can turn DFS into a fun game with a few dollars on the line. For example, my Daily Grind Invitational is $2 entry, guaranteed prize pool, and no rake. We get occasional overlays (meaning the site pays out more than they take in).
Now, the site does this because they're betting TDGI entrants will also play in their normal GPPs which have normal rakes.
5:04
But if you just stick to the TDGI, it's not really any different than a $100 fantasy league run by one of your buddies.
It's just played a little differently.
Barry

Thoughts on a speculative play on Cubs bullpen?  Kintlzer or Cishek a better add?
Brad Johnson
5:04
I like Cishek more
I'm not sure what Joey Mads likes these days
K
5:04
What are you doing with your Kluber and Taillon shares? I cant bring myself to drop (redraft)
Brad Johnson
5:05
I'm waiting for a little more information
It helps that I don't have valuable alternatives at the moment.
Bobo
5:05
Do you think Eric Fedde has a good shot at a rotation spot this year?
Brad Johnson
5:05
Definitely not, they're converting him into a full time reliever.
Was announced a couple days ago
Trevor
5:06
Is there any reason I should not be buying Paul Dejong's next step? More walks, fewer Ks, power could have room to grow...
Brad Johnson
5:06
Be careful assuming he's more than modestly improved.
But that's still a useful asset with the way they've been using him
Bring Back deSpaniel Hair

Is it mental to think I should try and flip Freeman for Snell or Bauer? Pitching is just so awful this year and Ivan fill with Alonso at first
Brad Johnson
5:07
Not mental, you're making an attempt to address a problem with a strength
It's trading 101
It's just scary when we're talking a Freddie Freeman for a pitcher
I assume this is redraft
5:08
It's easier to shrug away this kind of move if it backfires in redraft. You'll be kicking yourself for half a decade in dynasty
