Hey folks
Let's get this started with a bad trade
Phamtastic
4:01
Brad I try to be open to all trades in my league but I cant help get a little irritated about this one. N.Goodrum, Eduardo Escobar, and N.Castellanos for Alex Bregman and Javy Baez. Am I just being overly dramatic here?  (14 team, H2H, 5x5, redraft) Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:01
No, that's an unconscionable trade
4:02
I assume the guy trading for Casty and Goodrum is a Tigers fan?
If not, then it's extra super unconscionable
Probably should be vetoed. I almost never say that

Been hanging on to Devenski hoping for saves. Is it safe to drop him now given his recent shoddiness and likelihood that the Astros add a top reliever?
Brad Johnson
4:02
Yes, if he's on your roster for saves, he's not likely to get 'em
4:03
And I think he tires out around this time of year. Did it last season too.

Is Wil Myers for real?
Brad Johnson
4:03
As in a breakout? No. I see him as exactly what he always is... which includes hot and cold streaks.
4:04
That's a nice fantasy asset if you ignore the longstanding injury issues.

10 team H2H. I offered Nelson Cruz and Jorge Polanco for Wil Myers and Brian Dozier. Fair? who wins that?
Brad Johnson
4:04
Myers/Dozier is the stronger side
Pio

How is Mejia's stock affected by the move to San Diego?
Brad Johnson
4:05
I think it's slightly improved. People had this idea that he would DH in Cleveland which was always an absurd idea
and they had better catchers. So he was basically Blake Swihart there. In San Diego, he'll play.

When do you think Vlad Jr gets called up? Is it a sure enough thing to stash him in a shallow-er league?
Brad Johnson
4:05
I don't think it'll happen this year.
4:06
I won't rule it out, but it's easier for them to control him the extra season if his season ends in September. Plus there are actual physical benefits to that
Then they call him up mid-April
If he hadn't gotten hurt, he might have forced the issue.

10 team dynsasty with k/9, whip, hold and saves as seperate cats...

missed out on all the good closers and have:
bud norris and iglesias, with ottavino, scott alexander, and yates as my other RP's.

boxberger, wade davis, jiminez, jordan hicks, moronta, familia, tepera and soria are available

Replace bud norris with one of the above?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Yes. Davis is my first pick. He won't be replaced/lose his job in less than a week.
Plus he handcuffs well with Ottavino
4:08
Igelsias and Yates are very good fwiw

Good time to pick up Cano? What are your expectations ROS for him?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Yes. Normal Cano minus 10%

chris archer and sergio romo for jose martinez and carson kelly--who says no?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Rays
4:09
But that's probably barking up the right tree. Toss in a Poncedeleon and maybe there's something there

Is Willie Calhoun good enough to roster if he gets limited playing time?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Well, it depends on the format
And your roster
4:10
You shouldn't feel like you MUST roster him if it cuts into your competitiveness.

How much do you look at xStats for your player evaluations? I traded away Hoskins, because his xStats show he's over performing.
Brad Johnson
4:11
Honestly, I'm a bit of a laggard with adopting xStats. I haven't been presented with any evidence that they're more effective than the usual FanGraphs stat suite
