Solid buy low in sufficiently deep leagues. Fringe cut-able in 12 team. Waiver fodder in 10 team
Jeremy

Trying to predict whether Brandon Crawford will continue to be above-average, and whether Michael Conforto will continue to be below-average. Do you have a hunch on both/either? Thank you.
Brad Johnson
12:46
Crawford isn't a .370 BABIP hitter
so...
And Conforto probably ruined his season by rushing back from injury
But he could rebound at any moment

Would you trade Contreras and Devers for Gary Sanchez and Keston Hiura in a 10tm H2H dynasty?
Brad Johnson
12:47
Seems like a modest overpay
Pete

Ah, Jon Gray...as a statistical enthusiast I've been a big fan this year, waiting for him to turn around and being happy with the Ks, but I guess major league clubs only care about W/L nowadays.  How long you think he stays down and should I have kept him?
Brad Johnson
12:47
Not long. I assume there's something specific they want him to work on.
Sometimes when a pitcher is struggling they get too nibbly. One solution is to send them to the minors
For Carlos Carrasco and others, a stint in the bullpen worked better.
12:48
I still like the long term value if you want to pop him on your watch list
RJ

I've hit on Nimmo, Muncy, and Hicks via the waiver wire. Is there a sell (high-ish) in that group or are they all holds?
Brad Johnson
12:48
Muncy might produce some juice, but you're probably stuck with them
Not that that's a problem
12:49
Especially Muncy with his 1B/2B/3B/OF eligibility on Yahoo

10 teamer 40 per roster is holding Nimmo at least till after the all-star break to give his hand some time a good option or is he droppable now?
Brad Johnson
12:49
He's not droppable in this format
Ron
12:49
Who do you like better ROS - Jon Gray or German Marquez?
Brad Johnson
12:49
Gray
Vegan Man!
12:49
When would be a prudent time to roster Osuna and Cano in 12 team leagues...? Thanks
Brad Johnson
12:49
Now? Next week?
I wouldn't wait too much longer
12:50
That said, it's perfectly acceptable to let somebody else bear that roster burden
But if you want 'em. You need to move soon.
Tyler

What to do with Buxton and Sano?
Brad Johnson
12:50
I'd probably discard Buxton and keep Sano for now
Assuming 12 team without keeper considerations
Chris

Fantasy philosophy question for ya: shallow league.  no SP.  i mean, Giolito is rostered.  i've been playing .500 ball while waiting for like 6 DL guys to get back: Pollock, Cueto, Archer, Cespedes, D Murphy, Eaton, Cahill, Shark, Pomeranz, etc.  Better to stick it out as long as you're a middle of the pack team so you can get healthy and make a run or should i cut most of these chumps early on?
Brad Johnson
12:52
Should probably have cut around the fringes - i.e. Shark and Pom. Most of those guys are must-keep
The longer you hold them, the more you should just wait it out
April

Can I just say I hate pitchers? In a 12 team NL only, I ran out Thor, Darvish, Gray, Shark, Roark, and Nova (all top 35 by projections) and, as you guessed... I suck. How much of this is luck? I look at someone like Theo Epstein... he has to hate pitchers more than me, right?
Brad Johnson
12:53
This is why we do 70/30 splits in auction leagues. Pitcher points are worth just as much as hitter points, but they're so much less reliable.
Bart
12:54
Any concerns with Harper?  Should I try to trade to him and if so who should I look for in return?
Brad Johnson
12:54
Not really. He seems to do this. Now is not the time to sell. You missed that window
David
12:55
You just used the > symbol incorrectly
Brad Johnson
12:55
Prove it :)
Eric
12:55
DeJong or Simmons ROS?  I love Simmons b/c I watch him play, but the counting stats aren't too hot.  DeJong seems like a lock for 15 HRs ROS...
Brad Johnson
12:55
Depends on your stat needs. Definitely more HR with DeJong
