I have Springer/Hoskins in an OBP/SLG league and I can most likely only keep one going forward. Hoskins is actually putting up better numbers? Especially in ratios. Am I crazy? Seemed obvious Springer was the choice before
Brad Johnson
12:56
What are these leagues you guys play in? I can't even imagine having to choose between Springer and Hoskins!
They're both very good players. I don't think you'll regret owning either of them barring injury
which is unpredictable

Re: the Rodgers question earlier, there's a weekly start limit, so we can't really win pitching on sheer volume. If that factors into your thoughts at all.
Brad Johnson
12:57
Oh, so it's not ottoneu H2H FGpts, it's just an H2H league with FGpts ported in?
12:58
In that case, I don't remember the question.
However, I'm not so keen about Rodgers that I consider him must-own over presently useful players.

Nimmo slumping of late, should I hold in 12 team H2H league?
Brad Johnson
12:59
Yes. Slumps happen.

If Vladito can be kept through 2020 for $10 & $12, how much excess value are we talking about there in a 12 tm mixed?
Brad Johnson
12:59
Uh...
1:00
That's a lot to pay for somebody who may not debut until mid 2019. Let's do this... hang onto him because there's huge potential. But wait until Sept or Oct t evaluate his value.
So much can happen between now and when you have to make any kind of decision
1:01
In the mean time, if anybody makes you a crazy offer, he's not so cheap that you have to keep him
Like the best case scenario is that he's instantly a $30 player, right?
But the mean/median has him in the $5 to $15 range.

What are the chances that Kolten Wong turns it around enough to become a useful NL-only player?
Brad Johnson
1:02
Kinda low once DeJong pushes everybody down the spectrum
Mike
1:02
Concerns on Blackmon?  Has done nothing at home, just 9 doubles so far...
Brad Johnson
1:02
Nothing specific. Just waiting...
Buff
1:02
NL-only, drop Wong or Conforto?
Brad Johnson
1:03
Wong. Definitely Wong
It's Wong of you to even ask that question
Fredrick
1:03
Is glasnow going to get a chance to start again or is he a reliever now?
Brad Johnson
1:03
I think so
The Pirates have plenty of SP depth for the moment so they don't have to force the issue. Maybe at the deadline if/when Ivan Nova is dealt
David

Nice fix, as a math teacher, I notice those things. but really, that comment of mine gets posted instead of either of my questions.
Brad Johnson
1:04
ha!
1:05
I get a lot of questions which means I end up skipping a LOT to catch up to present comments. Your >< comment happened to be at the top of a skip. I probably completely missed the others.

Waiting for an article on Bryce Harper's disappointing season. He's been fairly mediocre (by his standards) this season
Brad Johnson
1:05
Not my beat - at least not until October/November
Ryan E

brandon crawford or paul dejong ROS? I'm in a dynasty league but own Corey Seager.
Brad Johnson
1:06
I lean DeJong, but it depends on your stat needs
Paul Sporest
1:06
Newcomb against the yanks today?
Brad Johnson
1:06
Probably not unless you need it
Bob Villar
1:06
would you trade Kris Bryant for Degromm in an OBP/QS dynasty league?  Have Ramirez, Belt, and Olson for next year and Davidson to fill in the rest of this year
Brad Johnson
1:06
Not straight up. deGrom can headline the package
1:07
The issue is pitcher break so much more often than hitters. Plus age...
And I'm only considering that trade if I absolutely need an ace to win
