Frustrating that Nate Lowe almost never seems to be in the lineup for Rays.  Why the fascination with Choi?
Brad Johnson
4:51
They think he's better right now
I would have made the switch when Choi was out a couple months ago
But they have something telling them to stick with the vet

which sox player do you prefer next season - moncada or eloy - position aside
Brad Johnson
4:52
I think I'm more comfortable with Moncada at the moment, though I see more ceiling for Eloy

Zac Gallen feels like he could have #2 upside as early as next year based on his pitch mix and command. What say you?
Brad Johnson
4:52
He does feel that way. But that requires you to bet on a 70th percentile outcome.

I have 3 Rays "starters" these days, Yarbrough, Morton, and T. Richards, and like them all. But is it too dangerous to throw them against Boston (and, for Morton, NYY) if I"m in a ratio battle? Would a streamer be better for the last week? I know "safe" isn't a word you like to use with pitchers, but I'm asking anyway. Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:53
Streaming probably isn't "safer" than those guys

you buying low in matt carpenter next years? he's still got 2/39 with STL or something silly
Brad Johnson
4:53
I do expect some shares to filter my way
4:54
I'm a sucker for boring vets
Had a bunch of Justin Turners this year with bland results. And Eaton everywhere.

In the brave new world of 2019, how many homers does a guy have to hit to be considered a power asset in fantasy?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Upper-20s

Thoughts on Wilmer Flores going into 2020?  Everyday 2B now after coming back from injury and overcoming the short side of a platoon.  Could be a sneaky MI option.
Brad Johnson
4:55
I feel like we're right back where we were last winter
I would have liked to see more juice out of him in this juicy season

Would you be starting Carlos Correa this week at all?  I know Hinch has said about him not playing full games.
Brad Johnson
4:57
It's classic opportunity cost. Are you playing Paul DeJong as his backup? Or Jordy Mercer?

Jose Ramirez a first rounder for you next year?
Brad Johnson
4:57
No
And that's not even because I'm down on him
4:58
I think I'm still basically buying close to where he was this spring
But we've had so many guys leapfrog him...
ERA movement
4:58
In an only league, I'm trailing the guy ahead of me in ERA by .05. Is that something 2 weeks can solve?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Yes, especially in 2019
4:59
But you need him to get unlucky with some meltdowns
I don't recall the math offhand, but I seem to remember it's easier for somebody to screw their own ratios than for you to catch them by improving yours
And on that note, I have to carve a bird. Adios amigos!

Good luck in your finals
