Agreed
Y'llo

So injuries have sunk my MI spot.  Choosing between Happ, Marwin, and Asdrubal in a OBP/SLG league.  How would you rank them ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:08
You've already got it
By the bay
4:08
What are your thoughts on German Marquez? Is this kid legit?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Yes, but you have to avoid his Coors starts in most formats
El Duderudo
4:09
Is McCullers droppable at this point? I have low confidence in him given his most recent outings (which aren't that recent at this point), I don't know when (if?) he's going to start, nor how long they'll let him go.
Brad Johnson
4:09
in redraft, definitely
stream stream stream
Rank
4:09
Is Devers worth keeping for $4 in an OBP league?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Depends on opportunity cost. That salary alone is great, but not if it prevents you from keeping a $1 Matt Olson
for example
McLain
4:10
This feels like peak Severino. I don't think he will be worth paying the premium next year
Brad Johnson
4:10
I tend to agree with not buying high. But let's see the ADP before we make up our minds
Slamboni
4:10
Would you continue to put a clearly hurt Beltre in your lineup, or roll with healthier options like Gregory Polanco or Nomar Mazara?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Are they actually healthier? Pretty sure they're both banged - regardless of whether it's been reported. I'd go Beltre
Just Me
4:11
Who will start at catcher for the Dodgers next year, Barnes or Grandal?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Might be close to a 50/50 split
The nice thing about being the Dodgers is that they can have two starting quality C
Matt

In the championship of my H2H points leage, W, QS, IP, Ks...any good, widely available streamers you recommend?  League is limited to three moves per week, already used one to get Godley from the WW (I had previously dropped him to stream someone else in the semi's).  Thanks in advance!
Brad Johnson
4:12
Hey Matt, as much as I'd like to help you with the biggest week, I think the details you've given me only emphasize that it would be inappropriate for me to offer advice.
4:13
Since you only have 3 moves and players like Godley are available, try looking for somebody who doesn't belong on waivers (i.e. 80%+ ownership)
El Duderudo
4:13
In an OBP league, Ozzie Albies or Howie Kendrick the rest of the way? Or his Albies' current run a blip (I know it's not sustainable long-term)?
Brad Johnson
4:13
I think I'd try to shoot the moon with Albies
4:14
Depends if you need a high floor or a high ceiling
Blake
4:14
Is Fulmer a top 20 pitcher next year?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Let's see what comes of his surgery and recovery. I think he's fringe top 10 when healthy
Dan
4:14
Hi Brad, I appreciate all the posts all year.  So i have a tricky spot obviously here in the playoffs.  My opponent has Sale, Verlander, Weaver, Greinke and he'll only pitch them and his pen until he gets to the minimum innings.  So today i have Godley and Anderson i think they're good matchups.  The rest of the week i have lament, duffy, and morton, perhaps a second anderson start.  I have Chris Archer.  In trying to keep only 4-5 starts, I really can't trust Archer today right?
Brad Johnson
4:15
That is a tough scenario, and I don't want to get blamed for things going sideways!
That said, when I run into an opponent with stronger pitching, I answer it with volume
4:16
I'd use Archer and anybody else you have getting a start. Take the K's Ws and hope a ratio floats your direction
trying to match him arm for arm is a recipe for getting swept
Larry Biggersby
4:16
At this point would you cut either Kendrys Morales or HanRam to play a hotter J Candelario?
Brad Johnson
4:16
I'd cut injured HanRam
Sandy
4:16
Robbie Ray won't be this good next year. But is he worth keeping for $5?
Brad Johnson
4:16
Why not? Robbie Ray is basically this good
He's worth keeping for $25
El Duderudo
4:17
Gausman was so good his last time out against Boston...he lays an egg tonight, right?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Seems to be the pattern. Treat him as a random number generator
Bart
4:17
Drop Miggy for Jose Martinez?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Ooh, I have to lean yes
