You starting Gallen today? Watched his last start and his stuff looked so dirty. But he seemed to take too many pitches to put guys away. Lots of 2 strike foul balls.
Brad Johnson
4:49
Well I'm not using him in DFS and despite being the first to find him this spring, I didn't roster any shares
Tommy La Sort of
4:50
Kelley and Martin gonna hold off Leclerc?
Brad Johnson
4:50
That's more up to Leclerc tbh

the two pirates players out of nowhere (reynolds and newman) rosterable in a 12 team points league redraft?
Brad Johnson
4:50
Yes, but they weren't out of nowhere.
The Pirates just don't get much press
Mike F.
4:50
Yeah redraft, tried for some top guys already just seeing if it would be worth it to pull the trigger if it came down to it
Brad Johnson
4:51
Maybe try to get a bad closer thrown in with Boyd
Or some other marginal, back-end upgrade

For points leagues where K, BB, 2bs and 3bs are counted is Benitendi still a top OF? He feels very sneaky in this format.
Brad Johnson
4:51
Uh, my head hurts. Yes, that sounds like it was made for Benintendi and JoRam and McNeil
Josh
4:51
Optimistic Joe Jimenez becomes the closer and performs adequately?
Brad Johnson
4:52
I don't see anyone else to take the job if/when Greene is traded. But I wouldn't expect much beyond strikeouts
Pat G
4:53
I'm in a 16 team dynasty and have a large window of contention (Acuna, Soto, Devers, Albies, Bregman, Correa, Rutschman, Lux, Snell, Taillon, Flaherty, Urias, Kopech, Honeywell, Puk)

I'm in 2nd and looking like I'll coast to the playoffs.

Should I trade Acuna for Benintendi, Wheeler, and Osuna? Is this enough value in a keep forever? Should I even be considering moving Acuna at all or just hold tight?
Brad Johnson
4:53
Sit on Acuna
If you had problems to solve, it would be one thing
Since you're coasting, there's no reason to disaggregate
4:54
If anything, try to turn like Correa+Albies into Lindor or something.
Logan
4:54
16 team points dynasty, is it time to drop Kikuchi or is it past time?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Since it's dynasty, there might be a point to stashing him
I wouldn't use him though
Matt W
4:54
Need one start for this week, Stripling vs Arizona or Clevinger @KC? Clavy's last start just a blip?
Brad Johnson
4:55
I'd go with Clevinger
Probably a blip, though his command was definitely shaky
Andrew

Any thoughts on whether Leclerc will regain the closer's role in Texas? In a 10-team roto with Colome and C-Mart as my other closers, I've held. But obviously I feel like I need to make a move for a closer. My SP (DeGrom, Syndergaard, Corbin, Kershaw, Boyd, Soroka, and now McKay) are decent, where I feel I can trade one for saves help, particularly if I can't count on Leclerc anymore.
Brad Johnson
4:56
In a 10-team format, I'd look to trade Leclerc with the waiver wire rather than weakening your rotation. Unless somebody wants to get aggressive offering for McKay

Eloy has looked like a Soler clone instead of the generational combination of hit tool and light tower power he was supposed to be (i'm alarmed by the low contact rate). What's his outlook RoS?
Brad Johnson
4:57
I don't really see the Soler comp, but it's probably fair to wonder if he was ready. I really didn't expect him up until around now-ish.
He's also battled some injuries so that's made adjustment a challenge
4:58
The bat reminds me of Javy Baez if you ignore the better plate discipline and contact rates.
4:59
I'd expect more of the same this season with a small chance for a breakout at any time
5:00
Ok, I'm going to throw in the towel. I think last week's chat scared everybody off.
