5 to 12

Which is exactly where he was before the season. Funny that

Is Thaiss a guy? seems like a swing changer getting to his power
Brad Johnson
3:51
I have the same read. I was completely out on him heading into the season. I'd grab free shares in dynasty if I could (he's already taken).

What is a tout?
Brad Johnson
3:52
People (like me) who tell readers who they should roster.
Biggy

Wait you live in Durham?
Brad Johnson
3:52
Carrboro to be precise.

Value of Ketel Marte in an NL only keep forever league?
Brad Johnson
3:53
Pretty high
I know it's been irresponsibly used in the past, but 2017 Jose Ramirez is in the range of possible outcomes.
I don't think he gets there, but even 60% of that is a pretty useful player in an Only
Juan Nightstand

Need a top SP to win a 14 team league. Is Tatis Jr too much to give for Paxton? Only get to keep for 2 years, not forever.
Brad Johnson
3:54
So it's Tatis through 2020?
I think that's a payable price. Unlikely to destroy the world in the next 2 seasons
Under normal dynasty conditions, I'd want more than Paxton
Jim Lahey

Is Juan Soto a first round pick in standard formats next year? Not sure how hes any different than an Arenado in standard 5x5... and potentially even better in OBP
Brad Johnson
3:55
Definitely not
Under no circumstance.
Unless somebody injects him with Byron Buxton's speed

I want to take 3 closers into playoffs. Currently own Rodney, Knebel, Peralta, Strop, Strickland. Who can I count on?
Brad Johnson
3:55
Uh, boy...
None of them
Seriously, I'm so sorry
3:56
I think you make your bet on the best talents - that's Knebel, Strop, and uh, Rodney...
Uncle Charles
3:56
Would you rather stash Jimmy Nelson or Jesus Luzardo in Dynasty/Keep forever?
Brad Johnson
3:57
I passed on this the first time it was asked because I'm torn. I think we need to see Luzardo against Triple-A hitters and Nelson against anybody
That's a whole bunch of missing information

asdrubal cabrera worth trading for as a cheap keeper? could keep him @ $4 next year $260 budget 15 teams. cost would be unkeepable raisel iglesias
Brad Johnson
3:58
I do not think keeping Asdrubal Cabrera - even for $4 - is a smart play
If that's 15-team NL-Only, then maybe :)
Nationwide

Milwaukee Closer roles seems to not be settled , surprisingly.  Who are the leaders for saves for ROS?
Brad Johnson
3:58
Probably still Knebel or Jeremy Jeffress
3:59
Yes Hader is the best of the four options
But they'll keep him in a multi-inning role
Vegan Man!

We're switching from AVG to OPS next year in my 12 team roto. Should I be weighing that when considering dealing away or acquiring keepers, or should I just stick to this year (as I'm trying to win now)? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
3:59
Take the present if you can. Prepare for the future when the present is lost.

Is there any talk of bringing back some sort of top 100 fantasy prospects list? eric and Kiley do great work, but it can sometimes be difficult to suss out fantasy value
Brad Johnson
4:00
I imagine we'll talk to them over the offseason about that sort of list.
I know everybody loves lists
