Brad Johnson

That might be more than a tad shallow, but you're probably only a year early

4:52

While I suspect it doesn't feel like a shallow league to you, you're pretty safe to make bold decisions with your back end roster choices.

The replacement level ensures excellent Plan Bs

Mike

4:52

Berrios and Yordan or Bellinger in a dynasty roto with QS and OPS?

Brad Johnson

4:53

Bellinger

But that's a good stab at Belli

I was just thinking about sending off Paxton, Carlson, and Blackmon for Bellinger in my league (friggin' Eno owns him).

4:53

Is Hunter Dozier legit or should I be looking to sell high in a keep forever league?

Brad Johnson

4:54

I think he's relatively legit, yes.

But, I'd also be trying to sell high

I'd want to at least know what's out there for him

Broken Bats

4:54

How about this awful trade in 14 tms 5x5 keep forever no cost: Betts/Verlander/Realmuto for Tatis/Paddack/R.Chirinos. 1st place team is the one getting the top 5 hitter, top 3 SP, and top 2 C.

Brad Johnson

4:54

Eh, I can see why somebody would pay up for Tatis and Paddack even if I don't quite agree with the decision.

4:55

That guy is likely to be happy in 2022

When maybe Betts is still roto relevant (and that's not assured)

John Bradson

4:55

olleh!

Mark

4:55

Is Meadows’ current .292/.368./.512 in the ballpark of what we should expect going forward?

Brad Johnson

4:55

Yea, more or less

We're at an interesting point for him though

4:56

The league has adjusted and it's up to him to counter adjust

I think the platoon role will help

It's easier to work on things mentally when you have predictable off days

Nathan

4:56

Is the juiced ball negating a lot of NYY's short porch effects? Which is to say, are guys hitting the juiced ball so far that it'd be a home run even without considering how close the fences are?

Brad Johnson

4:56

Well. Yes. But also Travis d'Arnaud maybe hits 1 HR yesterday without the ball.

4:57

Don't have room for both Yordan and Ohtani in a 14 team 5 keeper league. Trade one for an elite closer? Who would you keep?

Brad Johnson

4:57

Oof. I'd trade Ohtani.

Bruce

4:57

$3 Pete Alonso or $80 Trout in Ottoneu fgpts?

Brad Johnson

4:57

Alonso

You should be able to pick up $80 Trout in the offseason for a package of jelly beans

Dennis Quaid from The Rookie

4:58

How are you feeling about Kluber/Hamels/Taillon?

Brad Johnson

4:58

I feel like they're injured

I understand the question you're asking, but we just have to wait and see

Should you boldly gamble your season on their return to relevance? Probably not.

4:59

Kluber, maybe

luckydude22

4:59

has any of your advice here in chat come back to bite you in real life (e.g. trading partner quotes you when rejecting an offer)

Brad Johnson

4:59

Not these chats specifically

5:00

I do get a lot of my shit thrown back at me though. Especially in my college dynasty league which has nonsense rules (biggest being that players who have yet to debut before a season cannot be rostered, Alonso, Vladito, etc are on waivers). Almost nobody will trade with me, even on small things.

5:01

I tried to trade Jose Peraza for Austin Adams and got told off...

Nathan

5:01

Wander Franco's FV = what kind of PV return (in a forever keeper league, snake draft so no salaries)?

Brad Johnson

5:01

For example... Thor, Blackmon, and Nellie Cruz?

Connecting…
