It's funny how it's turned sour on Twitter
If something is joyful, somebody has to go and ruin it
4:37
In this case, by pointing out that 1. lots of players have Bonilla-style contracts and 2. These contracts are a trick to underpay the player.

Old-school league where players are tied and minimal moves allowed. 5x5, QS, OBP. I have Mondesi, McNeil, B-Reynolds, Hiura, Didi and Haniger. Gotta drop 1 or 2 of them.
Brad Johnson
4:38
Reynolds would be my first cut
Surprisingly, I don't think he can sustain a .437 BABIP
4:39
He's definitely very interesting though... shame to let him go
From there, I'd delay the second move as long as possible to get more info on Hiura, Didi, and Haniger
Mondesi is definitely NOT the cut despite it being an OBP league
4:40
McNeil could be since he doesn't HR or SB
But it's probably one of the others

re: Franmil. that was a H2H weekly points league, not a daily roto/categories league.
Brad Johnson
4:40
Oh, that's less attractive

Who’s your bet to close in San Fran after Smith gets dealt?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Melancon?
The thing is... it could be any of Melancon, Watson, or Dyson
Except they're all pretty likely to be traded too
Turgid
4:42
I'm in a long-running, highly competitive league. A friend took over a team this year, and honestly he just doesn't get it. He's in dead last. Hardly even trying. Not sure he even comes back next season. Is it morally reprehensible to try to trade with him? I'm in 2nd place and could really use his Charlie Morton...
Brad Johnson
4:42
I wouldn't say it's reprehensible, but it could quickly drift into shady

Vogelbach or H Dozier ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I like Dozier more

i have domingo german coming back from IL this week in a H2H points league.  8 max SP roster limit.  which of these do you drop for german?: berrios, clevinger, giolito, bieber, minor, marquez, canning, luzardo.
Brad Johnson
4:43
It's Luzardo or German
Rocco
4:44
Meadows has gone ice cold.  Was the early season version of him a mirage, or he's just in a funk?
Brad Johnson
4:44
I think the league has adjusted to him to an extent. He also claims to have been distracted by the All Star race so it's possible he's in his own head
4:45
Baseball is, after all, a game of adjustments and counter-adjustments
Meadows has shown sufficient ability to adjust

Is Diego Castillo going to get save opportunities when he returns from injury?
Brad Johnson
4:45
I'm not confident he will, but I'll never rule out anything in that Rays bullpen
Kris
4:45
Will dietrich keep supplying homers?
Brad Johnson
4:46
I'm not even sure Dietrich will keep supply starts now that the Reds are full strength in the infield.
There is some room for LF starts for now, but they've got Phil Ervin starting today in a very Dietrich-friendly matchup
Ryan
4:47
Do you know anything about Jose Urquidy?
Brad Johnson
4:48
That's one to ask Alex Chamberlain. I know the scouting report Longenhagen forwarded to us which included a good spin-rate and a plus splitter. Read as a reliever to me, but that's also similar to what Montas was doing before the PED bust

La Stella or Biggio RoS?
Brad Johnson
4:48
I'd go Biggio. You could easily argue either side though. La Stella is probably a higher floor.
Josh
4:48
O/U 10 starts ROS for Wil Myers?
Brad Johnson
4:48
Obviously over
Mike F.
4:48
Do I trade Vlad Jr. for Boyd in h2h cat? Need some pitching and have Ohtani and Justin Turner at my UTIL spot
Brad Johnson
4:49
This is re-draft? I think you can do that, but I would first ask about some more premium arms.
