Do you think the Reds are committed enough to Aquino to make him fantasy relevant?  He might be the 4th OFer next year behind Winker, Senzel, and Ervin.
Brad Johnson
4:41
Aquino ain't behind Ervin
Though it could get platoony
nahtan
4:42
which keeper do you prefer in ottoneu fangraphs points: $70 Trout or $35 Acuna (after salary allocation)
Brad Johnson
4:42
Acuna
But both is a better answer
Matt

In a Dynasty league (OBP) who are you more excited about as a keeper - Alfaro, or Meija? (or J McCann)
Brad Johnson
4:42
I guess Mejia
I can't muster any excitement though

Is Mark Canha keepable in dynasty leagues on a cheap contract? or are the odds of him getting playing time in 2020 too small?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I'd have to know more specifics
4:43
I think he'll get 400 PA give or take
lol
4:43
Gerrit Cole - legit #1 SP pick next season?
Brad Johnson
4:43
Yes, he's in the mix. Let's see where he lands though.
roster headaches
4:43
Do you trust Caleb Smith enough to start him in a 14 tm league h2h playoff (6x6)? And what about taking a chance on Austin Voth in a great matchup on Friday?
Brad Johnson
4:43
It's more about what you need to win than trust
4:44
If Smith (and Voth) have to put up for you to win the matchup, then you have to roll those dice
My guess is you have those guys rostered because your thin-staffed which tells me you ought to use 'em
4:45
But it's entirely situational - hard for me to say what I'd do in your shoes (and even if what I'd do is the right play)
I sometimes opt for fun over smart
lol
4:45
which team is 2020's detroit tigers - the team you always spot start against?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Well, the Marlins and Tigers don't look like they're going in any sort of positive direction any time soon
Mike
4:46
Do you envision the Yanks and Stros resting their position players the next week and a half?
Brad Johnson
4:46
In a sense. They'll mostly play, but they might come out in the 6th inning or take an extra day or two on the bench
And it won't be applied evenly
Weirdo Dude
4:46
Where are you taking Cueto next year among SPs?
Brad Johnson
4:46
Whoa.
4:47
As of today, I'm picking him off the waiver wire
Let's let things settle before we worry about deep cut pitchers

what i'm basing the top 20 off of: Ramón Laureano has played 162 games as of yesterday and his line is: 623 PA, 27 HR, 100R, 82 RBI, 20 SB with a .288/.345/.521 line - the babip is high-ish, but he's fast enough and isn't exclusively a pull hitter
Brad Johnson
4:47
He's definitely a good player
4:48
I very nearly traded Morton for him in a 20-team industry dynasty last winter (other guy balked)
I'm still mad about it
4:49
I wound up trading Morton for Eaton, Gibson, and Wendle. Then Eaton later turned into B. Dozier and C. Stewart.
So basically I got a maybe power hitter who tanked this year and a lower-mid-tier SP
roster headaches
4:49
expectations for Blake Snell tonight?
Brad Johnson
4:49
3+ IP
LupPup
4:50
What kind of line can we expect from Keston Hiura next season? I love his game - and I want to keep him on my roster - but worried about regression given that .401 BABIP and 30.3% K rate ...
Brad Johnson
4:50
That's two-handed regression. I'm pretty sure he's around a 22% K-rate guy.
4:51
And he punishes baseballs on a line drive plane
