What are you doing with Jon Gray and Castillo in 12 team leagues? Benching or dropping? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:01
Playing matchups. Definitely not dropping. Gray is actually top 10 SP by FIP WAR
Oh, hello everyone
4:02
Greetings and such

Been offered Verlander for Ohtani in a keep forever h2h pts league. I've got a top contending team. I love Ohtani and am anguishing over this. Talk to me.
Brad Johnson
4:03
Wow that's a tough position. They say flags fly forever, so I guess it comes down to the points. How much does Verlander help you contend compared with a reasonable estimate for future Ohtani
My guess is you can ask more

When looking for ROS values for trades, add/drops, whatever . . . what projection system should I be using?  I can't figure them out.  Steamer RoS?  Steamer Update?  Zips Update?  How do they work?  I'm looking for a definitive system to use, but how can I trust a system (Steamer RoS) that has Vlad Guerrero ranked over Bregman when Vlad hasn't even had a major league AB yet?  Please set me straight.
Brad Johnson
4:04
Honestly, I think you want to ask this of Jeff Zimmerman. I'm not this closely married to projections
I only look at them out of curiosity after I do my own analysis.

Ryon Healy or Candelario ROS?  OPS League
Brad Johnson
4:05
Healy by a hair? Same asset class. The OPS really helps Healy
Be prepared for streakiness

I recently traded Hoskins, Murphy, and Austin Riley for Bryant and Kemp in a keep forever 10 MLB guys per year. It's a 12 tm h2h with OPS and TB. How did I do?
Brad Johnson
4:05
I like this for you
And no, that's not me complementing my own trade
4:06
Bryant is clearly the top player in the deal. It's always good to aggregate in these shallow keep X formats
Slamboni

14 team points: You get 5 pts for saves and 3 for holds. Should I trade Brandon Morrow for Max Muncy? 2B needs a lil help
Brad Johnson
4:06
Your Muncy can 2b?
4:07
Smells fair to me. There's sufficient risk/reward on both sides for either owner to come out on top.

Will anybody be calculating Arsenal Scores since Eno left??
Brad Johnson
4:08
I can pose the question to our slack. I believe that was a joint project with Jeff Z

Who do you like ROS H2H AVG/OBP/SLG cat league between Braun and Aaron Hicks?

Both might be short on playing time, but both bring intriguing pop and speed combos. I generally fall to the youth in these situations, but feel power upside of Braun is higher here.
Brad Johnson
4:08
I think I'd do Braun too
Seems like they'll stop playing him at 1B at least
Tex

need to make some moves on the margins... dump cron for john hicks?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Can play matchups if you want, but if I'm holding one of them, it's Cron

Sitting 5 back of 1st in 12tm roto dynasty. Team seemed over its head all season. Would you still make a push or start trying to get better guys for the future? Have guys like Morton, Maeda, Albies, etc. that have to started to fade.
Brad Johnson
4:10
In this position, I usually "retool." By which I announce a rebuild then do what I can to trade old players for young stars without sacrificing too much present value
4:11
I did this successfully in my 20 team industry dynasty last year
Turned Donaldson, Miggy, Odubel, and a bunch of Archer/Quintana/closers type pitchers into Betts and Rizzo. Went from 9th to 3rd (top 5 paid).
4:12
People tend to be a little more open handed if they think you're throwing in the towel

Was offered Hoskins and Yelich for Harper in a 12 team h2h keeper league.  Would you make the trade?
Brad Johnson
4:12
No
If it's a keeper, best player is a huge deal
Harper is easily the best in that offer
Dream Weaver
4:12
Luke Weaver has been super *meh* this season.  Any reason to remain optimistic, or is this who he is now?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Every pitcher can break out
Weaver has the raw tools to be given every chance imaginable
