That said, I only got one look at him while he was in Durham, and there were doggos in the park
Soler
4:59
Is he just a product of the ball or do you expect his production to continue the next few years?
Brad Johnson
4:59
Little of both I suspect
bob
4:59
are you a big believer in gavin lux? pretty insane minor league numbers right now
Brad Johnson
4:59
Yea, he's considered a top 10 prospect in dynasty leagues
Trout Cannons

Small rosters have only 3 spots for Donaldson, Harper, Ozuna, and Vlad on a daily basis while chasing Rbi/HR/Slug. Are you playing pitcher matchups or sitting Vlad in all but the extreme cases like @SF?
Brad Johnson

Matchup game
5:01
Harper sits vs tough LHP, Donaldson against tough RHP, Vlad is in more often than not imo
Ozuna would be my short straw if all 4 have good matchups
Cristian Pache

any thoughts on my fantasy outlook?
Brad Johnson
5:01
Not yet
It's been an encouraging season
The outlook was purely real world + SBs prior to this year
Now there's a little hope he can help us in our categories too
5:02
He's still a defense first prospect. Might get to be the Kiermaier who was promised. Rather this always injured version
5:03
One concerning detail, despite 60-70 grade speed, he is only 8-for-19 on the season
And he was 7-for-15 last year
5:04
I have a share in a 25-team league and I anticipate a lot of hemming and hawing over what to do with him
Kdog

Ever have your finger on a button to add a guy and then talk yourself out of it before someone else does and he goes on a tear? Slow. Death. (Aquino)
Brad Johnson
5:04
Worse, I'll have a move locked, go to confirm with my co-owner, then forget about it
5:05
Lost Urshela and VanMeter that way in a 20-team dynasty
Wound up paying JD Davis and Doolittle for VM and Rojas (and Solak and Ornelas)
Too many "ands"
And it's time to wrap up!
Trout Cannons
5:05
RE Harper vs LHP, he has pretty strong reverse splits this year and especially for HR
Brad Johnson
5:06
We have larger samples than that to use
And I did say tough LHP
He's mostly faced dogshite
Name a good LHP in the NL East besides Corbin
I'm not going to wait
5:07
I guess Caleb Smith is "good." I keep forgetting 4.00 ERA talent is good now.
Daniel Castro
5:07
Jerry Dipoto acquired me because he knows I will mash!
DC

Starting pitching is at a premium in my 16 team H2H. Trade deadline just passed. Any guys I should stash on my minors roster that might get called up? I've got Trey Supak and James Marvel so far.
Brad Johnson
5:07
Webb in SF
Logan Webb
5:08
Triple-A debut was a 7-inning gem
They're only like 5 back for the 2nd WC so they have some incentive to use their best guys

Following up - My league is deep 12 team dynasty league.  So adding Carson Kelly would help with future C as Grandal is only getting older and seemed to slow down.  I'm competing this year, so not sure I'd want to drop Maeda.  Isan Diaz seems like a young intriguing player.
Brad Johnson
5:09
If it's a 1 catcher league, I wouldn't fuss about having a keeper C on hand
Grandal himself is good for a couple years yet
