Once that LD rate regresses to normal, he's probably a 90 wRC+ guy
Great real world 4th outfielder, interesting fantasy categories when playing every day, but not a world beater either

Do you enjoy chats?
Brad Johnson
4:32
I do!
Kris B.
4:33
In a keeper league should I keep Acuna or Soto?
Brad Johnson
4:33
You have to choose?
4:34
Acuna will steal some bases. I tend to lean towards the 5 category profile when forced between two elite talents

You didn't mention Tyler Oneil in your Matt Adams answer. He going to play less now?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Honestly, I don't know how the Cardinals could play Adams/Martinez in the OF and claim to be trying to win.
4:36
Maybe in very specific matchups
4:37
I think we need to see how the Cards plan to use Adams
I can't swallow him as more than a pinch hitter/1B platoon

Was it a mistake to drop Max Muncy?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Yes? Depends on your league depth and needs
4:38
Like I said before, manage the stats

Dereck Rodriguez is obviously not a ~2 ERA guy. But with a combination of his home park, his deep repitoire, and his soft contact inducing abilities, is he a 3.50-4.00 guy going forward?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Should be able to do that, yea

The Rockies are going to recall Matt Holliday (who is hitting in AAA) and dilute the playing time of Dahl even more, aren't they?
Brad Johnson
4:39
It boggles the mind that they did not claim Daniel Murphy
I hate how the Rockies only ever try to improve their bullpen
They're obsessed with the finishing touch when they don't have a functional lineup
4:40
Anyway, yea, I wouldn't be shocked to see Dahl lose time to bland veterans
I'm more upset about McMahon. He looks like the better player right now, and he's blocked by Ian Desmond somehow.

Re: Matt Adams - Couldn't they bench Gyorko against righties, play Adams at 1B and move Carpenter to 3b?  Gyorko has an 89 wRC+ against righties.  Adams has a 133 wRC+ against righties.
Brad Johnson
4:41
Yes, that's how Martinez/Adams should be entering the lineup.
Although that's pretty rough defensively too

if you were drafting a new dynasty league today, who is your #1-3?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Some mix of Vlad, Soto, and Acuna. Trout, Betts, and JRam in the mix too. They're young enough and there's something to be said for actualized, proven stars.
Up to you to decide on time horizons

contending now and traded rendon and giles (wouldn't keep) for murphy, hill, and ozuna (I'll keep both hitters) in a keeper league. how does this look for me?
Brad Johnson
4:44
I'm not especially keen of that for you since you're contending. You dealt the best player and a useful counting stat (saves) for what I assume are marginal keepers and a decent/injury prone SP
I'd like it more if you were getting Rendon/Giles tbh
However, I don't know your situation, needs, league depth, etc
Could be you solved some problems with expendable parts.
AFL
4:45
no love for Lindor on that dynasty top 3 is surprising
Brad Johnson
4:45
Why?
He's fantastic - definitely a top 10 guy. Probably a first choice for 7th. But would you take him before the 6 I listed?
GoMs

Fwiw, Wheeler will be beating up on bad lineups for the rest of the year.
Brad Johnson
4:46
This is true
If the question meant "will he keep this up," then the answer is probably yes
