Raisel Iglesias owner here. Its looking like his closer status with the Reds is shaky at best...would they be crazy to trade him? I'm looking for a bright side and haven't heard anything about him being traded
Brad Johnson
4:27
I think they'll look into it but won't force anything.
The simple truth is that he's a well-paid reliever and those aren't really worth anything in the trade market
Remember, the Nationals traded almost nothing for 4.5 months of Kelvin Herrera last year (he was pitching well at the time)
Rocco

Is Betts going to heat up at some point?  He's way underperforming his ADP
Brad Johnson
4:28
Pretty much everybody besides Mike Trout underperforms a top 10 ADP.
4:29
I know it's frustrating to not get a repeat of 2018, but this has been a good season from Betts. Probably around his 40th percentile. He's going finish with close to 30 HR, 20 SB, a .270 AVG, .390 OBP, and around 200 R+RBI
Barring injury
4:30
I can't find any reason to complain about his performance even if I do wish I picked Yelich instead.
Elwood Blues
4:30
How much optimism do you retain for Jose Ramirez?
Brad Johnson
4:30
75% of the full optimism I had a month ago
4:31
I still think he's going to turn a corner, but maybe he's playing through something like the stress fracture Cesar Hernandez had in his foot last season
Gioneato
4:31
Take a look at Scherzer vs. Giolito advanced metrics down the FG page. I DARE you. Just saying, there's a good deal of similarities. Obviously not the same, but trending that way...
Brad Johnson
4:31
presented without comment
Mmm Mmm Good
4:31
Let's get down to brass tacks then:  A. Adams or Gallegos RoS?
Brad Johnson
4:31
I would take Adams

cavan biggio or scooter gennett ROS in a points league?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Biggio. One of my favorite new guys
4:32
I like Kevin Cron a lot too
Note: favorite does not mean best
baseballdude
4:32
hansel robles or luke jackson ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Tricky... I think the Braves are much more likely to replace Jackson with Minter or a trade acquisition.
But I also think Jackson is a better pitcher than Robles
Turgid
4:32
I'd say Arenado consistently returns his top 10 ADP
Brad Johnson
4:33
That's a fair point.
baseballdude
4:33
is franmil roster worthy in a redraft 12 team H2H points league with 3 OF and 1 UTIL spot?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Can roster him if you need power and can sacrifice AVG
4:34
especially if the bench is deep enough to adjust when he's randomly sitting
Of course, this also means you have to check lineups at like 6:45 every day
Oliver
4:34
Hate paying for saves, but in a year like this year with so few shut down closers, would you be willing to pay up for a top option like Chapman in a 12 team deep bench league?
Brad Johnson
4:34
Depends what paying means
I've always found the best way to acquire closers is as a secondary bit of a blockbuster
Trader Jack
4:34
What do you think of a trade of my Carter Kieboom for his Stephen Strasburg in a 16 team dynasty league? I also have Luis Urias, Ronny Mauricio, Cesar Hernandez and Francisco Lindor as far as MIF goes and I have a pitching need
Brad Johnson
4:35
Solid win-now move
You'll regret it later
It's fair
scott
4:35
would you drop glasnow in a 10 team league?
Brad Johnson
4:35
I take it you don't have an IL slot for him
Yes
Gil Hodges
4:36
I bid you a belated Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!
