If I had to draft a list of presently bad pitchers who may one day be good, Weaver would be near the top of it
4:14
Taillon was pretty similar to Weaver until a few starts ago when he started whipping lethal sliders
As an outsider, the best I can suggest is to treat pitchers like Weaver as an asset class. Try to find the ones that find a new trick before they're widely adopted
McFly
4:15
Archie Bradley picked up the save last night. % chance he ends up as the closer?
Brad Johnson
4:15
Low
This is a management group that had the patience to stick with Fernando Rodney for a whole season
I think they'll give Box more chances. And barring that, I bet Hirano jumps in line first.
Clemson
4:16
How are you playing matchups with J. Gray? He's been lit up for his last 7 starts against good teams and not-so-good teams, at home and away.
Brad Johnson
4:16
Yea, if I had any shares, I would be eating bad ratios.
Good pitchers can give you bad ratios sometimes. It sucks
All you can do is stick with the process of using good pitchers with good matchups
Jeffe

The smart move would be to make Bradley the every day closer though, right?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Eh, I don't think it's necessary
Crazy Joe M

With that said about "retooling" would you offer Morton and Cain for Conforto and Forrest Whitley? Need more? 12tm roto dynasty.
Brad Johnson
4:18
That is the sort of trade I'd look for - perhaps with a better second piece than Whitley as a starting point. Might still settle for what you proposed, but it's wise to work in some wiggle room with the initial offer
Moelicious

Is Godley worth holding in a 12 team? Too many baserunners for me....
Brad Johnson
4:18
Godley should be owned, but not necessarily by you
4:19
If a better player is on the waiver wire, feel free to make that trade
Godley probably belongs on a bottom feeder team looking to strike gold
marichal
4:19
Franchy Cordero worth waiting for in an NL-only, or is the Padres outfield too jammed up?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Way too clogged
Vegan Man!

Would you drop R. Zimmerman in a 14 team dynasty points league for Ottavino? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:20
Depends on the points, but I think I might
How is Ottavino unowned?
Stevie
4:20
Simmons vs Torres ROS - how large of a difference is there in a points league?
Brad Johnson
4:20
Again, it really depends on your specific scoring system.
4:21
For the record, there are about 5 versions of "standard" when it comes to points. I play the least standard of those (FGpts). It's the only one I can speak authoritatively on. The rest I can just offer a gut impression - your gut is likely better than mine
Marvin

I was offered Trout ($75) for arenado ($60) and Yelich ($36). keep 8, on base percentage rather than average. those dollar values represent keeper price. yay or nay? Im currently second in the league and look to be headed to playoffs
Brad Johnson
4:22
So in a $260 budget league, none of these are keepers
Unless there's a big group of studs kept for $1 driving inflation
4:23
So we're basically asking if I'd do Arenado/Yelich for Trout. Answer is yes, unless your backup 3B is a joke
Dexy's Midnight Fowlers
4:23
Need to drop two players to activate Belt and Andrus. Who would you pick: Smoak, T. Anderson, M. Gonzales, Rodon, L. Castillo, Pivetta, Seranthony, Boxberger
Brad Johnson
4:23
Anderson and Gonzales
Although roster composition obviously matters
seth
4:23
Franchy or Bader ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Woof
4:24
Can I opt out for Dietrich?
Or any number of other temporary patches
Bader for now, then move on once Dex starts playing again
Ohtamendi
4:25
Would you add Kyle Gibson over Luis Castillo in 10 team league or shoot for upside?
