He's streaky
Make Me A Winner

2nd overall in a very deep dynasty keeper league, one category I'm slipping in is SB, even though I have Dozier/Albies/Andrelton/Blackmon/Puig/Buxton. Janikowski is only option on waivers even worth considering, but would be a big downgrade to my OF...should I target SB in a trade, or sit tight and be patient?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Seems like you could at least plug Jankowski into Buxton's spot

Who closes in KC when Herrera gets moved?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Good question. Brad Keller?
Assuming he doesn't stick in the rotation

I have Musgrove, Yarbrough, and Velasquez, should I drop one for J. Taillon? Looking for Wins and Ks
Brad Johnson
4:28
Yes, immediately. Not Musgrove.
Probably Yarbrough
4:29
but Velasquez isn't exactly a stud either

Have you found a sweet spot in how a H2H categories league is setup? Types of categories, yearly transaction limits, minimum starts / week, etc.
Brad Johnson
4:29
I like to keep it fairly standard with the categories
5x5 or 6x6
4:30
10 transactions per week works well
25 IP a week works too

Didi and JTurner dropped in my 10 team points league. Pick either of them up for Teoscar?
Brad Johnson
4:30
Yes. Either
and probably find another cut for the other
Rob

20 team league and I have Rodon coming off the dl.  Which long shot future closer should I waive:  $2 Roberston or $10 Richard Rodriguez
Brad Johnson
4:31
Rodriguez probably
Seemingly farther from saves even though Vazquez is a disaster

Do you think the only way Jalen Beeks gets an extended look is if there is an injury, or will a few more Pomeranz scuffles force them to give him the call? And is he fantasy relevant in '18 if he goes every 5th day?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Steven Wright is first in line.
I'd say if Pom and Wright leave the door open, Beeks will walk through.
And he should be rostered at that time. Stashing him now may be a tad extreme in shallower formats
Zach 'don't call me good' Godley
4:33
Why am I terrible?  Was last year an illusion?
Brad Johnson
4:33
The narrative going around is that hitters have learned to lay off his plus curve which is usually thrown as a ball
And his fastball isn't especially good
4:34
plus his walk rate is up. My guess is he's tipping his curve somehow
hscer
4:34
how often can both sides reasonably think they're getting a trade's best player?
Brad Johnson
4:34
25%?
That's just a wild guess
Another reason I like keepers because that figure goes way up based on time horizons.

What should I do with Godley in a 16 team league? Should I trade him for pennies on the dollar, or wait out a change on my bench? (I don't think he's under-performing, I think hitters aren't fooled by the knuclecurve - which is scary)
Brad Johnson
4:35
I'm shopping him reluctantly. Trying to find a non-contender who's willing to gamble on him working it out

Hi, a few questions. I'm in a keepers league, and we r allowed to keep 1 pitcher and 1 hitter. The only pitcher I have worth keeping is Kershaw, but idk if I actually should with some of the injury concerns he is having. Also, should I look to be getting off marcel ozuna? Was offered justin turner
Brad Johnson
4:36
Kershaw should still be treated as a top 10 pitcher. So I think you're alright there. Never hurts to improve
If you need a 3B, Turner for Ozuna seems fine. Neither should be your hitter keeper
I Used to be Mel Clarke
4:36
Which pitcher would you keep in a 16-team, keep forever league: Archer, Jon Gray, Paxton, Buehler, Snell
