As I mentioned earlier, I traded Willie Calhoun last week out of my NA slot (Yahoo) then immediately replaced him with Juan Soto. Can rinse and repeat in a month.
Rock Kickass

I need steals and saves.   Is Machado/Cano for Trea Turner/Doolittle fair in a shallow ten team roto?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Sounds like you need my column Saves and Steals on Rotoworld. Mid-day every Wednesday :)
Swap seems viable if you have sufficient AVG, HR, and run production elsewhere.
Shallow formats throw "value" out the window
4:29
You just have to take the stats you need and hope you aren't hemorrhaging too much value in the process. Since there's so much good stuff on the wire, even losing a trade badly isn't a problem so long as you didn't help your rival too much
Willie hears ya Willie dont care

thinking of offering viscaino for schwarber. I have W. Davis, Allen and Ziegler for saves, but would like the HRs. What do you think? Thanks in advance!
Brad Johnson
4:30
Do it. That's great value for Viz

Player A: .271/.347/.518 6 HRs / 3 SBs (23 y 8 m old).  Player B: .263/.359/.509 6 HRs / 4 SBs (22 y 11 m old). Player A is Franchy Cordero. Player B is Yoan Moncada.  The lack of Franchy respect is crazy.
Brad Johnson
4:30
Or put another way, the Moncada overrespect is nuts
4:31
So I had somebody offer me Moncada for Schoop, Kepler, and Taillon in a 20-team league with weird rules
I concluded Schoop is the better long term asset. Tried to counter with Kepler, Fisher, and Winker but it didn't fly
Zach
4:31
Is Matt Carpenter broken, unlucky, or unlucky and broken?
Brad Johnson
4:31
More unlucky than anything
Probably needs a minor adjustment
4:32
Peripherals look fine-ish
Ham 'n Mayo Smith
4:32
Is it worth dropping Byron Buxton for Franchy Cordero or Josh Reddick?  Cordero has upside and Reddick has beefy contact rates.  Buxton?  Apparently has migranes, a busted toe and a good glove...
Brad Johnson
4:32
That's a bold drop. I feel like you could find a trade involving Buxton
Antwan
4:33
Any idea when Urias might be up in San Diego?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Shortstop
oh, I read "where"
And I thought it was a silly question
Anywhere from right after super-2 deadline to late April 2019

How optimistic are you on Greg Bird once he returns?  Is he worthy of a bench spot if my DL spots are filled if he’d be replacing someone like Mancini, Choo or Carlos Santana on my roster?
Brad Johnson
4:34
Go ahead and replace Mancini
He's bland
Maybe Bird doesn't hit, but he's such a trendy name that you could massively profit from just one hot week
Dan

Do you think Junis has any back end SP value ROS in 12 team?
Brad Johnson
4:34
Definitely above that at this point
Bryan Price
4:34
How do I get a notification sent to my phone when Senzel gets called up
Brad Johnson
4:34
Rotoworld probably pushes their news blurbs
4:35
RotoBaller might too
MSW

Ken Jansen for Bumgarner? For Darvish? I've plenty of relievers and need pitching, even if that means waiting it out on the DL.
Brad Johnson
4:35
I'd pass on Darvish for now. I'm... worried
Looks fine for bumbum
54
4:35
Do you think we will see Odubel stealing bases again? Is he slowing down, or is it just his inefficiency on the basepaths and credible slugging has taken away his green light?
Brad Johnson
4:35
No
The latter scenario
4:36
He's just not somebody who should steal bases.
He might take 10 over a full season if he catches a matchup he likes
