Looks like a nearly full reversion to the previous version
4:04
Chad Young (formerly of RotoGraphs and currently an Indians fan) has always said Bauer's overly addicted to tinkering
Ryan
4:04
What are the chances Luis Robert gets called up in Sept?
Brad Johnson
4:04
White Sox fans seem to think it's likely. I just don't see the incentive for them to start his clock. Not unless he signs an extension like Eloy
Rocco
4:04
What to do with Hoskins and Puig who've gone very cold?  Still start them?
Brad Johnson
4:05
I'm still in on Hoskins. Puig, less so.
I've gotten used to hiding from Puig slumps though. Hoskins slumps are rarer (though not unprecedented)

With Laureano's activation seemingly around the corner, approximately what type of OF should get the boot to make room in a 12-tm OBP/AVG (separate cats) dynasty? Adam Eaton-ish?
Brad Johnson
4:06
I really like Adam Eaton so when we talk about him, we're probably imagining very different players
4:07
I'll say guys like Calhoun, Choo, LoCain, Puig
Rocco
4:07
Best sources for SB's on the wire who won't kill my other categories?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Laureano?
Kiermaier and Margot aren't empty in other categories
4:08
If you need to reach deeper, then you're SHOL
SHOOL? I dunno
Tim
4:08
Brad Johnson
4:08
No need to worry over-much
4:09
I do think he's not going to be a generational talent which is what many people seemed to be hoping
He's probably just a core contributor with a good lineup role
Mookie
4:09
In redraft 2020 mookie goes pick ______?
Brad Johnson
4:09
4?
Pretty high still
4:10
If we drafted today, it would be lower
But once we have an offseason to relax, everyone will agree he had an excellent season.
Nolan
4:11
Mauricio Dubon just got called up. How deep does a redraft league need to be before he is fantasy relevant the rest of this year?
Brad Johnson
4:11
I almost forgot he got traded. My first instinct was to say he's not going to play much in MIL
4:12
tbh, I'm not really on the Dubon bandwagon as more than a utility guy. That said, the Giants are so terribad that he's liable to lead off for them
I'm guessing 12-team mixed with MI could find a role for him
Matt
4:12
Starling Marte’s Exit Velocity has increased month over month to over 91mph in August. Is he turning into a 30HR/20SB guy?
Brad Johnson
4:13
I think he's just climbed his way back to normal Starling Marte
Trout Cannons
4:13
If Sale comes out looking normal in the spring, how many SP are you taking ahead of him? Assuming this is a one year blip, hard to drop him below 5 after Cole/JV/Max/Degrom right?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Correct
A probably-healthy Sale is a candidate for Top 1 pitcher off the board
Don't forget Kershaw
4:14
For all the whining about his decline, he's carrying his owners
Guest

Is Gallen a fantasy #1? Four elite pitches by whiffs. Command+ shows the walks could come down.Throwing a sexy change a lot more. Gallen or Grienke in 2020?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Easy Grienke for me
4:15
I don't see Gallen as an ace yet, but he might play his way into something like Mike Clevinger territory if he finishes strong.
PJ
4:15
Tarik Skubal has exploded in AA. Is there anything he is doing differently that caused the spike in Ks? Would you rate him above Mize as a dynasty keeper?
Brad Johnson
4:15
I don't have any particular insights except that Mize is still much more valuable
