Not in dynasty
I'll say it's a push in redraft.
The corollary here is that it doesn't take much pitching to post a solid point total

Thank you for the chat Brad. I read the transcript each week that I am not able to join live. :)
Brad Johnson

You're welcome!

What's with the recent Closer blowups? Chapman, Smith, Hendriks, Osuna, CMart, Doolittle etc...seems like there's been few clean saves lately
Brad Johnson
4:46
No kidding. It's been a messy stretch
Do You Wanna Build A Stroman?

Are you selling Whitley or holding in dynasty formats?
Brad Johnson
4:46
Buying. His value is down. It's time to pounce. Assuming he's actually discounted.

Sick of hearing fantasy players talk about this so-called glob.  Being able to parse the glob IS the challenge. Do you agree?
Brad Johnson
4:48
There's a bit of random number generator to it. For example, I don't think it's skill that I happened to pick up Shark and Fiers for hot streaks. I grabbed them for 2-start weeks and they shoved. Then they kept pitching well.

What does C Frazier fetch in return in H2H 16 team league?
Brad Johnson
4:48
I've had trouble finding any swaps involving Frazier

Odds Yates gets traded within 24 hours?
Brad Johnson
4:49
75%

Currently have Tanaka and Paxton riding the bench the last few weeks...think either rights the ship this year?
Brad Johnson
4:49
Yes, pretty good chance.
The thing is, you're either going to miss those games on your bench, or you'll have to risk using them
brb, I need a snack for the stretch run
4:50
Going back to Salazar, I missed that he was just activated and will make a 70 pitch start

Munoz insta grab?
Brad Johnson
4:52
yep

Bob Villar is in my league. He doesn't know what he's talking about so just ignore him
Khris Davis
4:52
Are my woes entirely related to injuries? Or a sign of the beginning of the end of my keeper value?
Brad Johnson
4:52
I think it's injuries
Danny Salazar
4:52
What percent of FAAB you bidding on Salazar?
Brad Johnson
4:53
I never win these sorts of guys
My FAAB game is to take the leftovers
pitching/hitting
4:53
*In hindsight*, an elite pitcher is more valuable than an elite hitter.  Problem is how often the "elite" pitcher turns out to be Kluber or Sale or Snell or Carrasco or......
Brad Johnson
4:53
Precisely

Is Forrest Whitley worth keep outside of forever keeper or deep dynasty leagues? I don't want to get stuck in another Mark Appel relationship ...
Brad Johnson
4:54
Appel isn't a good comp here. There's more cause for concern than before the season, but he still looks like a big asset
Yates Trade
4:55
75% chance. Uh oh. That's a lot higher chance than most of us were thinking.
Brad Johnson
4:55
Just a guess
They have to reason to keep him and every reason to turn him into a top prospect
Arraez
4:56
Who is a good comp for this youngster? LeMahieu?
Brad Johnson
4:56
Somebody wants me to write about Arraez
Been getting (ignoring) a lot of questions
I think the profile is more of poor man's Nick Madrigal
4:57
which might not be super helpful if you're not familiar with Madrigal
