I never know what to make of Michael Brantley. Is he valuable down the line in anything other than AVG?

Brad Johnson

4:36

Sure, he's a 5 category asset

There is value in any player who has average or better production in every category

Thoughts on Kevin Pillar? xstats says he's killing it but it looks like it's all because of an increased line drive rate? Is that sustainable?

Brad Johnson

4:37

I've been burned on Pillar before. I need to remember he starts hot, roster him, then sell high

No expectation of sustained performance.

Jose Martinez + Mike Soroka for JD Martinez in a OBP dynasty league. What side you prefer now and going forward?

Was feeling bold traded Cole($24) Treinen($11) Meadows($3) for Kershaw($31) and Hand($6) in a 16 team dynasty. Ultimate sell high on Cole? Feeling slightly less confidant this morning tho I have extremely deep pitching so I think I will be fine provided Kershaw isn't out for an extended amount of time.

Brad Johnson

4:38

Looks pretty tasty to me, but there's definitely risk that you traded a top 5-10 SP for the tail end of a HoF career

We're not really there yet (on either end), but it's a possible outcome

Bregman and/or Dozier buy lows?

Brad Johnson

4:39

Dozier is performing better than usual...

He's usually borderline unplayable until June/July

Buy low on both if such an option is available

Does Vlad Jr come up this season? If so, when and how much FAAB to throw at him in a 12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league? We start out with 100 units of FAAB.

Brad Johnson

4:40

I don't think we'll see him, but he could be used as a reinforcement if the Jays remain in contention

They'll need to be bold to keep pace in the AL East

no offense to these trade offers but WOW. archer/Bradley for thor??? was that offered? click accept IMMEDIATELY. i hate hate hate vetoes but Donaldson and devers for lowrie is vetoable. maybe the worst trade I've ever seen

Brad Johnson

4:41

haha

The second one was especially egregious

4:42

That might be a rare time that I wouldn't carry out my standing threat to immediately quit any league that vetoes one of my trades

Gotta know going in that it's a risk

It's kinda funny how the most lopsided trades are offered to YOU

4:43

Like when I get shit for fleecing somebody, it's usually an unsolicited idea I insta-accepted.

4:43

who should I count on to replace Kyle's Brother? Andrelton or Gleyber?

Brad Johnson

4:43

Both are quite excellent replacements

You want young upside or steady steady steady

just traded Colome for an Osuna stash...how'd I do?

Brad Johnson

4:43

We'll see

4:44

At least you don't have Colome torpedoing your rates

4:44

King Felix or Drew Pomeranz, rest of season, who would you rather trot out every 5th day?

Brad Johnson

4:44

Pomeranz

There's a chance he rebounds

Poor Felix was dethroned years ago

Keeper league....hold on with Willie Calhoun? I bet also on Yordan Alvarez, Corbin Burnes, Soto and Robles. You think I ve some talent here? Woul YouTube please rank theese youngster?

Brad Johnson

4:45

This question kinda fell apart. I need to go on YouTube?

Or they need to come here?

I'm confused. I will say I like Soto the most following by Robles, Calhoun and the other pair(distantly)

Should I be Domingo Santana after his non-terrible week? Sell for 50 cents if I can?
