I don't have a good grasp on pts league valuations. I'm a categories man.
The points leagues I play are non-standard.
Gibson

Any chance the Cardinals play Lane Thomas more often and if so what do you think his ROS outlook is?
Brad Johnson
4:27
There's definitely a chance - they're a team that believes in riding the hot hand
And O'Neill keeps landing on the shelf
That said, I don't think he's more than a fourth or fifth outfielder
4:28
average or better contact skills, average to slightly worse discipline, below average power, too many grounders
So if you're fishing for more than a warm body, fish elsewhere.
Hi There
4:28
What are your expectations for Jon Berti ROS? I have a hole a 2B and could use steals but don't know how comfortable I should feel plugging him in there
Brad Johnson
4:28
You should not be comfortable.
I've been hoping he got a chance since late last season
4:29
The profile is almost a copy paste of Lane Thomas just in terms of general traits. Plus a 20 SB pace per 650 PA
4:30
The bonus with Berti is that the Marlins are hot trash
Lucas

Seth Beer got a shot at a Sept callup?
Brad Johnson
4:30
Maybe
From an asset management perspective, I'd be surprised
4:31
Cron is probably a legitimate starting 1B, and they've kept him thoroughly blocked by weaker options.
And it doesn't make sense to plop Beer on the 40-man if he's just going to 3- or 4-way timeshare 1B.
4:32
I don't know if they're still pretending he might be an outfielder
From what I hear, he's 30-grade out there.

What’s your Scooter ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Gotten a few Scooter queries. I honestly don't know.
4:33
Every year, there's a Gennett story
Sometimes they finally put it together against weaker competition in September
Other years, they need to reset over the offseason
I'm reminded of what should have been Michael Brantley's peak
4:34
If you want an example
Do You Wanna Build A Stroman?

Who do you prefer Aquino or Eloy long term?
Brad Johnson
4:34
It would be foolish to not prefer Eloy by a wide margin
4:35
There's something like a 60+% chance Aquino doesn't accrue 1,000 PA in his career.
Of course, there's also some room for him to outperform Eloy
3 in 5
4:35
Marco Gonzales gets no love yet he's has been solid for the last 2+ months esp considering his team. I don't need K's. He's sitting on the waiver wire with Civale, Bassitt, Keuchel, Quantril, and Anibal. I need wins. What say you?
Brad Johnson
4:35
If you need wins, then Gonzales ain't your guy
Play the matchups
John
4:36
Brad, is Will Smith's ceiling more 20+ hr or 15 or less? I'm in a 4x4 keeper league and it's a thin position as we only use 20 teams.
Brad Johnson
4:36
He's looking like a + at this time
He already has 27 in under 400 PA this year
Jacob
4:36
Carson Kelly a viable option next couple years at C?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Better than viable
