We'll start in a moment here. By your silence, I assume you're also staring at twitter waiting for surprise last-minute deals.

Hi!  Best new holds guy after the deadline?
Brad Johnson
4:02
Let me digest. Holds guys are already difficult to pin down
4:03
Mostly the guys who were good for holds before the deadline.
Pressly gets a boost
Watty

ROS?  Chris Taylor or Ian Kinsler for 2B?  (Position flexibility not a factor)
Brad Johnson
4:03
Taylor me

I'm in a leauge with HLD, K/BB and QS as added categories. I have the option of 4 keepers max ($260 salary). Who makes more sense at the cost; Hader at $10, D. Rodriguez at $10 or Snell at $8
Brad Johnson
4:03
Snell by miles and miles and miles

Preferred arm ROS. Nola or Severino?
Brad Johnson
4:04
Small preference for Nola.
I assume he plays more Marlins and Mets
Sev only has Orioles for those roll-over games

hold on to Jose Martinez?  he wasn't playing at first because Shilt hates fantasy.
Brad Johnson
4:05
Best to hold for now

Ramos was/is my starting C. Robinson Chirinos has been surprisingly amazing since Ramos hit the DL. What's my ROS look like? Chrinos going to go back to normal? Did Ramos' production increase?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Ramos probably lost that trade, he'll be no higher than fifth in the Phillies lineup - if he's lucky
4:06
I like Chirinos as a guy who hits HR. Ramos has more categories, but he's weeks away from returning

what do you think about schoop's recent resurgence?  just a hot bat or some positive regression ?  does he keep it up and where is he traded to??
Brad Johnson
4:06
So it's a little of both. I think he probably made an adjustment which is letting him smash some baseballs better than before
4:07
However, he's gone even more violently aggressive than normal during his hot streak
which ultimately limits his upside.

Long term thoughts on Devers?
Brad Johnson
4:07
He's a good young player
Andrew Jackson Pollack
4:08
What's wrong with Kluber? He's been awful in July, K's are down and just looks like he isn't fooling guys. You worried?
Brad Johnson
4:08
He says it's a mechanical issue
yojiveself
4:08
I have both Andujar and Moose.  now that Moose is in a better hitting environment, ok to cut andujar to make room?  or hold both and play matchups?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Depends on the opportunity cost. Absent other info, I'd mix and match. However, if Andujar can turn into something like Jose Leclerc, he should.

OK Brad, who are the best new closers now that the deadline is here?
Brad Johnson
4:10
Well Yates isn't new, but he didn't lose his job today. Giles will be back. Leclerc.
yojiveself
4:10
McCullers is very unpredictable and I have tried to trade but no takers.  would you cut him for a guy like Pivetta?  10 team h2h
Brad Johnson
4:10
Absolutely not
Joey
4:10
Is it worth stashing Cano right now, with Cesar Hernandez already on my roster at 2B and Kinsler available as a free agent?  The other stash option is Eloy (as OF/Util).  This is an OBP league.
Brad Johnson
4:10
I'd stash Cano.
tacopocket

Does the diekman deal make it Leclerc?  I know it's not definite but are the odds he's the man the rest of the way - 75%?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Probably. I guess watch out for Alex Claudio...
Steve
4:11
Bryant and Machado are both keepable for 4 yrs in shallow OBP keeper. With the shoulder injury, what should
Brad Johnson
4:11
Machado over Bryant
4:12
We're talking about two elite talents. I'll always take the guy playing well now in that case.
Dan
4:12
Is Buster Posey an upgrade over Wilson Ramos? OBP league
