Some guys slip through the cracks like that.

For example, I've had a $5 Hiura in Ottoneu FGpts who I've been trying to sell. Today I was FINALLY offered something reasonable for a win-now play (pricey Sale+Kershaw). But I had just decided that Hiura is no longer tradeable.

About the Adell trade. I'm talking fantasy-wise.
12-tm, dynasty, H2H most categories.
Brad Johnson
4:16
Well that's no fun!
My recent comments apply. Turn him (and others) into the best guy you can get.
Preferably in place of a weak starter

Hamilton can't keep a job on the Royals.  I would think C (not C+) prospect at best.
Brad Johnson
4:17
That's fair enough. Playoff teams keep sending C specs for Gore
I figured Hamilton merited a little more
But I could be wrong

How much higher would you value zack wheeler Or Robbie Ray if they end up going to the Astros?
Brad Johnson
4:17
15%?

Have a surplus of pitching, what offensive player would you be targeting for Kluber? 6x6 ops and qs
Brad Johnson
4:18
Could take a stab at a Matt Chapman or DJ LeMahieu (assuming his groin is fine)
Mike

1 IL spot and a Mondesi and a Snell... for fantasy playoff purposes, all things equal, who are you holding?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Mondesi wins SB by himself

Trying to bolster my pitching for a run at the chip. 10 team mixed keeper. last place has greinke and nola, i'm in first place and would give up hendricks, stroman and picks. the question is, what picks should they be for an initial offer?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Honestly, I think you need to offer your 1st to get that deal anywhere off the ground.
4:20
It's a weak start
But # of keeps is relevant.
4:21
If it's like keep 3 where first round picks are guys like Anthony Rendon, you could probably get away with a lesser pick offer

I have an offer on the table of Keston Hiura for my Jo Adell. I am contending this year (dynasty league), how close is this?
Brad Johnson
4:21
Insta-accept imo
You're getting present value and a similar quality prospect
Isaac

When Gary Sanches comes back, do we play him or Will Smith?
Brad Johnson
4:22
For now, I'll say Sanchez. We have plenty of time to reevaluate Smith in the interim. And Sanchez might take longer than expected since they have no reason to rush him
and no DH slot to ease him back
Lenny

12-tm, dynasty, H2H most categories
A: Realmuto, Thor, J. Baez
B: Betts, Berrios
Who you got? And is it close?
Brad Johnson
4:23
1. Yes, that's close enough for me
2. I'd take the Betts side because I kinda hate Baez's batting profile
Sure, it's working, but we don't have a lot of evidence suggesting it'll age well
As soon as he loses some twitch, he's going to have to reinvent himself. Or turn Rougie Odor on us

Bouncing between 4th and 5th, payout ends at 4th with getting money back and change. ~20 pts out of 2nd, do you make a big push for more money or do you sell out for next year?
Brad Johnson
4:24
I tend to walk the line in these scenarios. My mantra is "retool, not rebuild"
4:25
So if I have old guys/non-keepers with a lot of present value, I'll shift them to future value. But I'll also try to win.
Fantasy Help

I know it would depend on specifics, but *generally* which would you prefer: a mediocre pitcher against a bad offensive team or a good (not great/ace) pitcher against a good offensive team?
Brad Johnson
4:25
I'll take good more often than not
Mike
4:25
Are you a Josh Van Meter believer?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Yes, early adopter!
Kyle
4:26
Do you have any guys who have been hot over the past month that you are trying to trade before they return to normal?
