Somehow not playing Danny Santana more often is costing me my place in the standings... he can't really keep this up, can he?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Danny Santana is one of my regrets this year because I'm completely flummoxed as to why he's succeeding
4:37
Some guys are good when they're at 100% health and suck when they're even the slightest bit nicked up
Could be Santana is one of those guys?
Just a guess
Rufus

Harper for Bieber?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Redraft I assume. I hate it personally.
But I can see taking the leap in a AVG league
4:38
Can't do it in OBP
Willie Stargell
4:38
Is Vazquez still a closer tomorrow night?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Sounds like it depends on Gavin Lux.
TJ
4:38
Where are the trades!?!?
Brad Johnson
4:38
So, this is an unfortunate side effect of The One True Trade Deadline
4:40
Unless the market is flooded - which is only really true for middle reliever types - then sellers are incentivized to wait until the last minute
It's a game of chicken
For example. Thor costs Tucker from the Mets perspective. From the Astros perspective, they'd rather trade a bundle of lesser prospects
One of them will probably blink.
4:41
In the case of Thor, the Mets have the added confidence of not needing to deal him
Which is why talks have shifted to Wheeler.
(I kinda think Wheeler is better anyway)
Ketel Corn
4:41
Do you think Salazar will be in the rotation? He is electric right now.
Brad Johnson
4:42
They have a pretty scruffy bullpen so he helps in both roles
As of this moment, he should have a spot.
To start
Bob Villar

Ketel Marte or Shane Bieber in a 5x5 OBP/QS dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Marte
If the talent level is comparable, it's always the hitter
Closers
4:42
More saves ROS...Hendriks or Treinen?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Hendriks
Bobby Pseudonym
4:42
o/u 10% chance DET deals Boyd today/tomorrow
Brad Johnson
4:43
Meant to click the one above this. I haven't heard a single Boyd rumor. With his recent slump, they'll probably hold him until the winter
If not permanently
RP Chasing
4:43
What is your favorite stat to project future hitting performance? xwOBA maybe?
Brad Johnson
4:43
I don't have a single go-to stat
4:44
But I do like to check batted ball and plate discipline profiles
PDog
4:44
Alex Reyes for Kirby Yates in dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:44
If Yates is closing, that's a great value
but... I would wait until after tomorrow if you're adding Yates
The Yankees could hop on that market
Bob Villar
4:45
in today's fantasy, if talent level is similar between elite hitter and elite pitcher, always go pitcher since its the top 20 SP or the GLOB.
