upside?
Oh, misunderstood the question, thought you were saying Gibson was a shot for upside :)
Probably, yes
The New York Press
4:25
Are you buying Conforto’s recent adjustments/gains (as reported by me)?
Brad Johnson
4:26
I'm mostly buying he rushed back and has consistently gained strength. He's been fine for like 45 days now
At some point, he'll actually turn hot, but fine is acceptable for now
JD Martin

For the guy asking about which projection to use for RoS player evaluations, use Depth Charts so you're not married to either Steamer or ZiPS and you get the bonus of human determined playing time allocations (which have more information about team and depth situations)

Domingo German intrigues me, lot of K upside and the xFIP gives me reason for optimism.  Thoughts?
Brad Johnson
4:27
He's seemingly homer prone and that park...
The homer issues kinda add up with his stuff too
Mike
4:27
Is Rich Hill startable tonight?
Brad Johnson
4:27
No
4:28
Was so bad before the injury. I assume the wind is blowing out. Game over
If the wind is blowing in, can use if you're desperate.
Minter is Coming
4:28
Who would you cut between Greg Bird and Kyle Seager? Seager obviously more polished but bird has higher upside
Brad Johnson
4:28
If I'm in a position to cut one of those two players, my team is really damned good
4:29
So I'd dump Bird and lament later when he finally figures out how to hit
Brad
4:29
I should be asking for the world if someone wants my $1 Soto or $2 Acuna in FGPoints Ottoneu right?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Oh yes.
Had an owner suggest Rizzo for $4 Soto+ "a small piece" earlier.
4:30
I gave him a lol in response
$48 Rizzo and my roster has Goldy/Smoak/Dozier/Cesar/Gennett/Andrus/Torres clogging 1B/UTIL/2B/MI
4:31
Rizzo is obviously an upgrade over some of those guys, but it's a small upgrade.
I'll brb folks, the dog says he wants some attention.
Marvin

Backup 3B is Devers (cheap to keep) or Muncy. Thank you again
Brad Johnson
4:32
Seems doable then. Muncy is in monster mode. Devers will figure it out eventually.
4:34
ok, dog is sorted
4:35
he prefers to be observed while eating
weirdo
Justin

How does Domingo Santana go from a top 30 player to waiver fodder is less than a year? trade the poor guys already!

If I find myself questioning starting Gallo even against RHP, does that mean I'm wrong? Or that it's time to move on?
Brad Johnson
4:37
I'm back?
Yes
Sorry folks, technical difficulties
4:38
So... as I was trying to say, Gallo is basic HR Billy Hamilton
He can be tough to manage outside of OPS formats
lance mannion
4:38
Start Gonzalez vs the Yanks
Brad Johnson
4:38
Not me
I'm hands off for almost any visitor at Yankee Stadium
Mike
4:39
better keepers: Trout for $25 (next year only) or Lindor $16 for two years and Severino $10 for two years? man I like Trout.
Connecting…
