I thought his teammate Anthony Bass was looking like a breakout guy and then he suddenly imploded
That said, I have a lot of shares of Adams, and I'm very happy about it.

Deep league dynasty, looking to make a win-now move. What pitchers would you look for in exchange for 2 top 15 prospects?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Assuming deep means something like 20 team, you should be able to take your pick of available pitchers for 1 top 15 prospect. Obviously you're not going to get a Scherzer-type from a fellow contender, but anybody rebuilding should be happy to get a Rodgers+throw-ins for an elite, mid-30s pitcher.
4:15
(most of the best pitchers are mid-30s)

10 team H2H points keeper league - would you take a $10 Adalberto and $10 Brendan McKay for a $23 Jose Berrios? I would be receiving Berrios, and want to shore up my pitching; my would-be trade partner is playing for next year, so in theory is thinking about keepers. thanks, Brad.
Brad Johnson
4:15
I would not. Mondesi is soooo money in H2H
Mmm Mmm Good

Sans context, is Betts-for-Cole a fair swap of value?
Brad Johnson
4:16
should be a small add-on to Cole

Is German Marquez and Jack Flaherty fair for Rafael Devers in a standard head to head 10-team league?
Brad Johnson
4:16
I see that as a fine swap if you're drowning in pitching
This being 2019 and the league being only 10 teams deep leads me to prefer the pitching side on this one
The 11th best 3B is not too far off Devers.
4:17
What I'm saying is you might be able to get very similar for one of them

Is Wander Franco worth hanging on to in a 4 keeper league? 2 round penalty each year, but I would get 3 keeper options from his MLB debut
Brad Johnson
4:17
What you're describing does not sound like an ideal scenario in which to own Franco
4:18
He's going to soak up a keeper slot for at least 2 years before reaching the majors at which point he has to supply very instant gratification or else he has no chance of returning value
4:19
That said, if your decision point is between Franco and say Matt Carpenter, then perhaps you could take a gamble on him for one more year.
I'm assuming you have a NA slot or he's otherwise not soaking up a BN slot

Do we need to change Otto FGPTS? It seems like HR ruin every SP
Brad Johnson
4:20
I've always thought the HR penalty is a tad harsh, but I also don't think FGpts are broken in 2019.
I'm running the same 5.00 pts/IP I've had in just about every year I've played

Thanks for chatting, Brad. Is it time to cut Matt Carpenter in my weekly dynasty points league? His 3.01 Fantasy points/game is still borderline rosterable, so even a slight uptick in production deserves an active UT spot. Statcast metrics don’t suggest any sort of rebound like last season, though. I’ve got Schwarber, Cron and Walker available on waivers. Am I making this more difficult than it should be?
Brad Johnson
4:21
On the face of it, I wouldn't cut Carpenter in a 12-team weekly league. That said, I would happily trade him for Schwarber so that is a move you can make. If you want to. It's not a must-do.
Mmm Mmm Good

Giovanny Gallegos is a top-25 RP for ratios RoS.
Brad Johnson
4:22
I've seen some Gallegos hype, but I've yet to actually SEE him
He's a homer prone FB pitcher who doesn't limit hard contact
So... be careful
4:23
Seems he's edging towards 50/50 fastball/slider usage which is why his K-rate has spiked.

16-team, dynasty, keep forever, 5x5 h2h league:  Is Daniel Lynch, Lourdes Gurriel and Brennen Davis enough for Josh Donaldson?
16-team, dynasty, keep forever, 5x5 h2h league:  Is Nolan Jones, Jazz Chisholm and Darwinzon Hernandez enough for Jacob deGrom?
Brad Johnson
4:23
These are reasonable frameworks
4:24
There are too many factors at play for me to just say "yes, your rival must accept these offers"
I think the Donaldson offer is way more likely to be accepted since there's a plausible chance Gurriel is already better than Donaldson.

Where the heck can I find SIERA?

How are you viewing Mad Bum? Alot of his metrics are starting to move back towards the 2016-2017 numbers when he was very solid. I know some things still aren't great but how do you evaluate him? Must start everywhere but Coors? Play the matchups? etc.
Brad Johnson
4:26
If I had him, I'd use him in any non-Coors
With some avoidance of the Dodgers perhaps
But I wouldn't go out of my way to acquire him unless you're trying to buy low before a trade to the Brewers, Twins, or Yankees
