some risk, not much reward
QS/W are possible

How would you compare Hoskins and Miggy as keepers in a keep forever with OBP?  Obviously Hoskins isn't this good, but I'm hesitating to just cut Miggy loose after a down year as he's rebounded before and I could see doing it again.
Brad Johnson
5:07
Oh.
That's a tough spot to be in. Let's wait
Michael Conforto
5:08
weezy 4:09 Thoughts on Conforto's keeper prospects giving his injury? Seems really serious. Worth keeping in a 12 team, keep 10 league?
Brad Johnson 4:09 That format seems too shallow to keep Conforto Like he was already going to be fringy................................Are you really saying Conforto is not keepable as a top 120 player.  Insane or did you misread that question???
Brad Johnson
5:08
His skill set is common
5:09
I mean, he's a top 120 guy, sure
but is he definitely a top 10 guy on most rosters...that's less certain
I have several 12 team leagues where Conforto would have been a no-brain cut
5:10
And a couple where he'd be one of the 5 best on my roster

What's your read on Ian Happ as a keeper in a keep forever with OBP?  I love the pop and he looks like he could chip in 12-15 steals over a full season, but I'm unsure about the PT and the whiff rate is prodigious.
Brad Johnson
5:10
I think there's another gear in there. He was promoted rather aggressively
RMR

I'm thinking about trading Severino in the offseason as I kind of get the feeling that HRs are always going to be a problem for him even with the great velocity and slider.  Am I crazy?
Brad Johnson
5:10
No, not crazy
5:11
But make sure you get a haul
even with the HR, he's still a quality arm
Yu

Does that mean you like Game of Thrones, Brad? Books more than show, I'd imagine.
Brad Johnson
5:11
Yea, the books are better, when are they not?
I started reading the first one about half a year before HBO announced the series
5:12
I don't know how anybody watches that shit without having read the books
all of the characters look the same
toki

Edwin Diaz streamable?
Edwin jackson Streamable
Brad Johnson
5:12
One of those
Time to wrap it up
Also, I'm still leery of Jackson. Has to be a soft matchup
Molten Wong
5:12
Well that's not helpful. I know either Werth or Schebler would be fine. That's why I'm looking at them.
Brad Johnson
5:12
:)
It's streaming. It's all about the matchup
Hughes Miskate
5:13
Matt Carpenter. Name recognition the main thing keeping his ownership up?
Brad Johnson
5:13
I think it's mostly the potential for 10 HR in 15 games
Molten Wong
5:13
FYI I'm with SaberSim on Matt Moore's nuts tonight. Had Samardzija yesterday. Back to back shutouts. Count on it
Brad Johnson
5:13
Good luck
Ricky

Turner start or sit  tonight weather permitting?
Brad Johnson
5:13
Go ahead and play him
Larry Biggersby
5:13
Any interest in Miguel Montero, 2 catcher al only league?
Brad Johnson
5:13
Sure, should be rostered
Oddball Herrera
5:13
You like the malazan books?  I started reading them but dropped it about halfway through the first one (I adore wheel of time, so it wasn't an attention span issue), is book one pretty representative?
Brad Johnson
5:14
It's the worst of the 10 (although still above average fantasy fiction)
