You need to get the most out of your strengths
4:17
Since your ratios are busted, you need to outright win SV, K, and do well in W - that's hard combination to pull off
Sweeping hitting stats is kinda necessary too.
4:18
It doesn't hurt to squeeze in some of those relievers
But you need to somehow still pick up wins
Good luck!

Why does Gregory Polanco get so much respect? When are we all going to admit that he is what he is -- a .250-.260 guy with 22-HR power? I can name 20 guys under 50% owned that can do that.

It's the physical profile - kind of like Yasiel Puig
All it takes is a single light bulb to go off for him to turn into a monster
4:20
Winning a fantasy league is at least partially a function of getting more lucky studs than your rivals.
With a Polanco or Puig, the path is so obvious
It's less apparent for a guy like Lowrie.

What's the deal with Shark? Velocity way down... is he hurt still? Worth holding in 12 / 14 team leagues? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:20
Probably a hold in 14 team
4:21
You can cut him loose in 12 team if you see something better
I don't have any insight beyond what you noted
He seems hurt

Who turns it around first from my struggling outfield? Ian Happ or Dex Fowler?

Fowler

Want to drop one of Kingham, Caleb Smith, Soroka to enter the Toronto closer sweepstakes. Is ti worth it/which one do I drop?
Brad Johnson
4:22
Not sure of worth, but they're all cuttable depending on league depth

Better stash for this year and next...Raimel or O'Neil?
Brad Johnson
4:22
I think it's O'Neill
The profile just has so much more utility
4:23
Think of Tapia as a higher floor option, although I don't know that he'll ever crack the lineup
He's been a prospect since the Rockies had Brad Hawpe, right?
Feels like it.
O'Neill has an early-career Springer-like profile

Archer and Brantley or Thor in a 12 team h2h? Thanks!
Brad Johnson

Thor
Josh's achy shoulder
4:24
Hearing mixed opinions about Donladson's value going forward given the shoulder. Do you have any read on this situation?
Brad Johnson
4:24
It's a shitty situation to get stuck in
If I own him, I'm saying it's fine
If I'm the buyer, I'm asking for a very steep discount
4:25
I don't have insight into the particular injury, but I did sell my dynasty share last year over injury concerns.
Was the major piece of a package for Betts (who I foolishly turned into Jose Altuve, Beltre, and Alonso over the winter)

Better way to rebuild in a keeper if you are falling out of contention. Trade for an injured star (i.e. C Seager), just over pay for a star if you can with pieces you don't necessarily need/won't keep, or trying to build through top rated prospects?
Brad Johnson
4:26
I go for the stars and injured studs
Prospects are always overpriced in my leagues
There's always a facsimile of the stud prospect du jour one layer deeper.
