Is Max Muncy a drop in a H2H format (daily roster moves)? They are platooning him hard, but he is productive when he plays.
Need to drop a hitter to free up a streaming spot. Who would you drop-- Muncy (platoon limbo), Voit (back injury), or E. Rosario (not 100% and in an extended 2H slump)?
Ohtani (batter) is on an insane tear. While it seems unsustainable, this is his first time playing every day and he seems to have something to prove. Will he maintain something close to this pace through end of season?
Playoff crunch time, so I dropped Andrus to roll with A. Mondesi. You on board?
Is Alex Wood a hold? He looked terrible yesterday and it wouldn't be the first time he got gassed late in the season.

Those were five of six questions ejaculated in a row
4:37
I like the Mondesi play
I had things to say about Mondesi. For example, he is not Francisco Lindor. He might be a different MVP quality infielder.
4:38
PS, that's all you're getting there Dex :)

What do you make of Zach Eflin’s lousy second half after his breakout first half. And what do you make of his prospects for next year?
Brad Johnson
4:38
This was the only question in the Dexy sandwich
Or is it a Buff sandwich
We name sandwiches for the fillings, not the bread
4:39
Anywho...
Remember how we always talked about The Glob during draft season?
It's going to be back
And Eflin's gonna be smack dab in the middle of it
Al

Is Billy McKinney for reals? In a short sample size, dude is doing everything well - contact, plate discipline, batted ball profile, hitting lefties.
Brad Johnson

It would not be the first time a once-hyped prospect disappeared for awhile and then reemerged.
Before freaking out, let's let the league adjust to him and his 31% LD rate and .400 BABIP
4:41
In particular, I'm confused why his swinging strike rate declined by over four points between the minors and the majors. That usually happens in the opposite direction
And the improved contact rate is a big part of his success. If that regresses to his minor league norms, he's not a starter
Joe

Wheeler for real? Top 30 SP next year?
Brad Johnson
4:42
As long as nothing happens on the injury front and he's still at cavernous CitiField in a semi-weak NL East, I think yes
Kinda around where we found Luis Castillo and Zack Godley this spring
Josh
4:42
Framber Valdez. Start today or not?
H2H most categories, no GS limit
K-QS-W-L-ERA-WHIP-K/9-K/BB are the stats in play. No IP
Brad Johnson
4:43
I'd play him. Watch out for a low K rate and bad K/BB
Also probably doesn't hit 6 IP
Cheese

I need to choose between 2 of these OF's in a keep forever league : Springer, Conforto and Haniger.  Leaning Mikey and George.
Brad Johnson
4:43
That's a difficult trio
4:44
Lemme go smell some stats
4:45
Upon further review, damn them's some similar outfielders
Conforto has the benefit of youth, but also he's a Met and that's always a bad thing for fantasy hitters
I really like Haniger
In a present value sense, I think I like him most
but the margin is small
4:46
Springer has an insane supporting cast
which helps his above average ability play WAY up

In his chat earlier today, Justin called Muncy a drop in a 12-team format. Agree?
