I gotta be honest, I'm a little underprepared for this one.
4:06
It was such a rock steady situation
4:07
Literally all of their relievers are candidates. Oh, Tepera, Barnes, Axford, and Clippard
Probably not Loup or Petricka
That's everyone, right?
Consider this my expert analysis on the topic - stash whoever you like best and hope you wind up with the winning ticket

I was offered EE for Story in a 6x6 OBP league. After Seager's injury my only other SS option is Peraza. I have Abreu and Belt for 1b options. Still worth it?
Brad Johnson
4:08
No
Story is better than EE anyway. Unless you really need to redistribute SB to HR
Dexy's Midnight Fowlers
4:09
Greg Polanco, Manny Margot, Ian Happ, and Matt Davidson were all dropped this week. Who of that group would you prioritize? (5x5 OBP)
Brad Johnson
4:09
Polanco then Margot
Slamboni

AL only 10 tm dynasty. In win now mode, should I trade Bo Bichette, Domingo German, Mallex Smith, Greg Bird and Gleyber Torres for Semien, Mookie and some spare RPs for holds?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Yes
Basically any price for Betts is acceptable as long as you're still fielding a competitive roster
4:10
Those are all good but expendable parts.

I had Altuve, Nunez, and Chris Taylor as my main sources of steals.  They have 3 steals collectively.  Am I screwed?
Brad Johnson
4:10
I have Altuve and Taylor in a couple leagues. It's frustrating.
I'm not sure Taylor is going to do much, but Altuve should start running at some point.

Better keeper league stash: Eloy or Tatis Jr.?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Tatis is the better talent, Eloy is closer.
And they're similar enough that preferring Eloy's proximity is fine
Mike

Someone offered me Donaldson and Devers for Lowrie. Im pretty happy.
Brad Johnson
4:11
Ha. I love Lowrie, but I'm not offering either of them alone... Beware the veto
Ichiro
4:12
How would you rank the following as dynasty stash based on future potential....Dustin Fowler, Luis Urias, Jalen Beeks, Justus Sheffield. Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:12
Just take Urias, way way better than the rest
Big Tuna
4:12
With Altuve's lack of power and no SBs to start the season, does it make sense to try and see if I can trade him for another elite player since I have JoRam to fill in at 2B?
Brad Johnson
4:12
It's fine to shop, but you almost have to trick the other owner into coming up with the idea to target Altuve
4:13
Then you talk up how dumb it would be to sell low
And if you're lucky, they'll eventually buy at full price
If you go into it saying you're shopping Altuve, you're going to get offered Jed Lowrie.
Kakie Bryan

Any reason to hang on to Willie Calhoun as a stash while Senzel is still out there?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Senzel is better
Horton
4:14
Jack Flaherty or Nick Kingham who pitches more MLB innings in 2018?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Flaherty, I assume
He's better
Guest
4:14
10 tm keep 10 JD & Verlander or Devers Torres Manaea
Brad Johnson
4:14
Old guys side
You're Killing Me Smalls
4:15
In a league with a 1500 inning cap, my offense is real solid, but i'm in dead last in ERA and WHIP, and in a sizable hole. My closers aren't great and are hurting my ratios, and my starters are Clevinger, Greinke, R. Lopez, Mikolas, Bumgarner on DL, A. Sanchez, we field 9 P spots and have a relatively short bench. How do I come back from this? Do I run out a bunch of top middle relievers like Ottavino and C. Edwards, and and drop guys like Sanchez? Should I simply not start a lot of my starters aside from prime match ups?
Brad Johnson
4:15
This is a tough situation, but you can recover over the next 4+ months
4:16
You're playing for middle of the pack with the ratios now. Diligent maintenance of your roster should get you there as other non-contenders fade.
