Cheap cleanup hitters are nice

I found a free Ji-Man Choi in a 20-team league today (we're not allowed to roster rookie or younger)

I know flags fly forever, but last year I traded Bregman for Justin Upton, and while I won the league after that, now my team is hurting for young building blocks and I miss Breggy :(
Brad Johnson
4:57
Yes. This happens and it hurts
I traded Eugenio Suarez and couple prospects for Bradley Zimmer's steals last summer
My worst deal ever
4:58
but I did miraculous recover from 12th to 3rd place (top 5 paid)

Re: Muncy - take a look at all of the lefties they're facing over the next 3 weeks.  I get  your point because it does depend on who you're dropping him for, but in a week-long playoff, if he's sitting 3-4 days, it hurts pretty badly.
Brad Johnson
4:58
Sure, like I said, there are situations where he's dropable. He's not a must-drop though

at least that trade worked, Matt

In a 16 team dynasty keep forever is this too strong: Acuna, Soto, Bregman, Albies, Correa, Devers, Freeman, Happ, Kiriloff, Snell, Taillon, Rodon, Puk, Honeywell, A Reyes?
Brad Johnson
4:59
No
5:00
You're going to have years where you kinda fizzle with that group
You'll be annoying because you're always in the picture, but you'll only dominate once in awhile
Griffey's Nerve Tonic

Peacock now has hand foot & mouth disease. Starting to wonder if some clubhouse kid is the vector spreading this weirdly specific ailment.
Brad Johnson
5:01
So... I figured this one out.
Turns out it's more prominent this year than in the past. Between the player's kids and signing autographs, there are plenty of vectors. And baseball players are NOT hygenic

In a 30 player keep 9 scenario, would you absolutely be keeping Eloy if he cost something in the neighborhood of 20th or later round to keep? Is he going to have the impact of a Soto or Acuna next season?
Brad Johnson
5:02
30 teams? or 12 teams of 30 players?
If it's 30 teams, you can't dream of cutting Eloy. I'd probably keep him regardless, subject to the opportunity cost.
Matt
5:03
Oddly enough, I drafted Suarez to fill my Bregman-less 3B hole and it worked out pretty well, but his salary is too high to keep and he kinda fell off over the last month or so/in the playoffs
Ghost of Ned Yost
5:03
Just want to plug the Jose LeClerc hype train real quick!!
Brad Johnson
5:04
And that's as of last Wednesday
Although I can say with certainty that he won't leapfrog any of the 5 ahead of him
Puper

Would it be completely bananas to keep Acuna over Bryant in a 14team keep forever league?
Brad Johnson
5:04
It would be completely bananas to not keep Acuna
5:05
Over anybody not named Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, or Jose Ramirez
Pretty sure those are the only three who might be better keepers than Acuna
Tom
5:05
Who gets move MVP votes in the rest of their careers: Story and Arenado, or Bregman and Correa?
Brad Johnson
5:05
The Astros
Coors Field kills award voting
5:06
And on that note, I bid you adieu
