Now, onto your business.
Kershnaw?

What kind of haul would you be looking to get back for Kershaw in a 12 team keep forever dynasty? Machado, Bryant, Harper types or 2/3 solid pieces
Brad Johnson
4:02
I would be using Kershaw and whatever I needed to include to target elite players.
4:03
Can't directly acquire a Harper, but Kershaw+a Votto could maybe get a young stud.
Buff

Are you a believer in Zac Eflin?
Brad Johnson
4:04
More or less
The velocity is up and nothing looks out of place in his results.

RIP Ken Ravizza. He changed the way baseball was played. If you have ever wondered why players look at the label on their bat when they take a breath, it was because of him. Everyone should read “Heads Up Baseball” – it applies to life as much as it does baseball. The greatest thing about Ken is that he didn’t care if you were in t-ball or a MLB All-Star, he gave you the time of day and wanted to help you become a better ball player and person. He will be missed

Bryant, Correa, Acuna, and Buxton for Trout and Ray in a keep 10 forever h2h 7x7 with OPS and TB. Who wins?
Brad Johnson
4:05
That's...
too much to process
4:06
It's hard to lose when getting Trout, but this might test that rule of thumb

10 team, keep 3 forever, points league. My Judge, M. Brantley, and G. Richards for his T. Turner, J. Gallo, J. Soto, and J. DeGrom/A. Nola? I'm currently in 4th place.
Brad Johnson
4:07
I like it for you, I assume you need SB and an ace
Rick C

How much time should owners give Daniel Murphy?
Brad Johnson
4:07
A lot
Like the rest of the season. Although don't be shy about pushing him to the bench or exploring swaps
Benny

Worried about Lindor falling off? 10tm roto can keep 5 forever. In 2nd and need runs & avg. Trade Correa and JFlaherty for Lindor? Worried about Correa streaking and Lindor falling back.
Brad Johnson
4:08
You should maybe get some kind of flier SP back for that swap to add up
They project pretty similarly ROS, but it helpsthat Lindor doesn't have a back injury

Hi Brad! Thanks for the chats you do! I have Jose Peraza and Solarte as my 2B/SS combo. Should I shop around for an upgrade(s) or are they legit to keep for the ROS? 12 tm H2H OBP league
Brad Johnson
4:09
Always hunt for upgrades. Peraza is best used as a bench piece
I like Solarte fine, but there are better players out there
Brad
4:09
What do I do with Joey Gallo in a keep forever OPS and TB league>
Brad Johnson
4:09
Keep 'im
Can't sell low
He's known for making adjustments

5x5 Keeper league, (QS and OBP instead of AVG and Wins) 5 year limit on keepers, keeper price increases by $6/year. Trying to win now. Would you trade Conforto and Devers for Upton and Justin Turner?
Brad Johnson
4:10
Probably not. I need a sharper upgrade to ditch keeper years. Assuming Devers has 3 more years and Conforto 2?
Matt

Brad, your colleague Justin Mason has continued to express concern about Corbin's velocity in his chat earlier, but since Corbin's velo dropped in early May, he's got a 3.50 ERA with a 10.63 K/9 and a 2.84 FIP. Is this really something we should still be worried about?
Brad Johnson
4:11
It's worth bearing in mind
That said, it's clear he can succeed without the heat - I'd just feel a lot better if he was more than a slider only SP
We saw with Godley what can happen when a one breaking ball SP loses his mojo
Spotify Discover Weekly really flopped this week
