Joc?
I guess those are the 3 most likely to lose starts
not Muncy
Gloria Esteban Loaiza
5:09
What do you see from Soto that gives you pause?

Is he really a fringe keeper in a keep-4? Obviously league size and rules matter, but surely they're outweighed if there's a good keeper price on a teen phenom like Soto?
Brad Johnson
5:09
You said that's a 12-team, right
So you're keeping 48 players.
5:10
Since he doesn't steal and doesn't have absurd HR rates
and probably has some kind of sophomore slump
We're looking at a fringe top 50 player. The youth pushes him to around mid-30s.
5:11
Upside is he turns into a perennial top 10 bat - except we're living in an era where I could say that about upwards of 100 hitters.
Don't get me wrong
I love Juan Soto
5:12
I own him in a bunch of leagues and have poopooed all trade inquiries
Craig
5:12
Has McMahon turned a corner? Can he get regular PT, because he's starting at 2B today
Brad Johnson
5:12
LeMahieu is on the way back though
5:13
I can't really judge corner turns off two games
Wily Mo Pena
5:13
Is Villar really going to run though? Aren't the O's perennial bottom dwellers when it comes to SBs?
Brad Johnson
5:13
That's more a function of the players than the philosophy
Slow teams shouldn't run
And they wanted to keep Machado healthy
Check out Craig Gentry
Craig

Where did Dereck Rodriguez come from?
Brad Johnson
5:14
Well... it all started when Ivan Rodriguez met a woman he presumably fancied...
Herbert Derpert
5:15
Enjoyed Jeff's writeup of the Pham trade! Do you think his value increases or decreases by going to TB?
Brad Johnson
5:15
No effect
Dexy's Midnight Fowlers
5:15
Is Luis Castillo back? Dominant last start and his control has been awesome since early June.
Brad Johnson
5:15
Looks better lately
I'm encouraged.
I've spent all season trying to buy low to no avail
Thomas
5:16
Jed Lowrie, Cesar Hernandez, or Tim Anderson ROS?
Brad Johnson
5:16
Do you need HR and OBP/AVG, balance, or only HR/SB
Side note, Tim Anderson is the worst player people think is good
He's so terrible at hitting
5:17
Middle of a fluky-looking career season with a .290 OBP
Time to wrap things up and digest the deadline more fully
Upton Funk
5:18
Apologies if asked and answered . . . who does Dozier to LAD most directly hurt?  Chris Taylor?  Seems like Muncy to 3B, Manny at SS, Dozier at 2B . . .
Brad Johnson
5:18
It's a whole cluster of mess
I don't know
5:19
Anytime a team has way too many players at a spot, injuries magically fix things
Let's let the dust clear
Connecting…
