similar NL only question, I have Bryant/Happ/Bote covering 3B... should I worry about Bryant's health and Happ's K%/BABIP and bid heavy on Moose or Escobar?
Brad Johnson
4:30
Seems like an obvious upgrade on Happ/Bote while Bryant is out. I prefer Moose.
Can you do something else with that money?

Fangraphs points ottoneu league, should I consider moving a $49 Kluber? I am mostly out of it this year and I am hesitant to keep him next year.
Brad Johnson
4:30
Yes, sell

Does Osuna close in HOU?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Oh yea, that was the second part of a question I ignored.
"Lastly, have a firm stance on Astros situation? Own rondon with osuna available, saves worth 8 holds worth 5. Thanks man!"
Well, I suppose we're waiting for official word, but Osuna is a top 5 closer and top 10 RP in the league.
4:32
As abominable as his domestic violence situation is, I personally can't fault a playoff team for taking a chance he's reformed.
I think they acquired him to close
4:33
I'll add, I'm just a white guy who writes about fantasy baseball. My opinions are only relevant insofar as Osuna's ability to play baseball.
There are people far more qualified than I to talk about IF Osuna should be allowed to play

Am I crazy for starting Cahill AND Shields tonight?
Brad Johnson
4:34
Not really. Scary though.

Help! 10 tm points, head to head, pitchers are high scoring: offer Paxton+Mikolas+Soto for Sale? OF would be Betts, Yelich,conforto
Brad Johnson
4:34
Looks like an overpay to me
I don't play any leagues that shallow though so I could be wrong
As replacement level increases, the price for elite talent also increases
Mallex P. Keaton
4:35
Yeah but they didn’t acquire Schoop and Moose to not play either of those guys regularly. Shaw just isn’t going to be a regular anymore i
Ted
4:35
So is Shaw gonna play, uh, shortstop now?
More seriously, is Shaw basically droppable now? I don't see how this dude is gonna play at all.
Mallex P. Keaton
4:35
eh sorry my question got cut off due to typing on phone. Shaw maybe a candidate for a waiver trade out of MIL?
Brad Johnson
4:35
I can't imagine they plan to stop playing Shaw. They're not dumb. He's very obviously a better hitter than Moose and Schoop.

So Jose Leclerc should be the favorite to get saves in Texas, right?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Right

I'm within striking distance of several teams in SB in a roto league. Who should I add for steals who also won't be a total BA and OBP drain? Adalberto Mondesi, Mallex, Taylor or DeShields? Maybe make a trade instead?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Taylor is the best player on the list, but you can't actually count on SB
So that leaves Mallex
He won't drain BA/OBP too badly, but he won't do much else

AL-Only: I stashed a bunch and ended up with these 7 potential closers.  Leclerc, Giles, W. Peralta, Givens, Parker, Fry, Hildenberger.  Looks like Hildy may be a drop, but how would you rank these guys ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Giles, Leclerc, Parker, Givens *cliff* Fry, Peralta, Hildenberger
Unless I completely missed a Rodney trade
I did not
Bartolo
4:38
Could you rank Meadows, Bonifacio, B. Phillips, Maybin?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Meadows
Just Meadows

Is Beltre a keeper in a 20 team keep 15 league? Or is he over the hill now. Seems like he was a really good, healthy 3b and then these hamstring issues that popped up late last year derailed him
Brad Johnson
4:39
He's not a top 300 keeper
Your roster MAY be built such that he should be kept, but it's unlikely
