Any chance the Cubs blow it? Can the Mets sink in?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Definitely a decent chance they blow it. That's not a deep pitching staff.
4:15
Of the four teams who could sneak past them, the Mets are probably the best.
AJ
4:16
it's the playoffs. do you start the hitter with the bad wOBA but good xwOBA, or the guy with a bad xwOBA who is getting good results?
Brad Johnson
4:17
I don't use xwOBA. I've seen no evidence that it's more helpful than misleading
4:18
I suppose I am aware enough that I'll look for other reasons to like a xwOBA darling like...

J.D. Davis at all in keeper consideration for you in a 12 team keep 10?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Probably not in that format.
4:19
By quality, he might be right on the fringe, but there are so many players in that range with a better situation - either lineup role or more guaranteed playing time

Is the return of Nimmo and Cano going to make guys like McNeil & Davis useless for fantasy ROS? I see a lot of inconsistent pt coming
Brad Johnson
4:20
I too look at these returning players as a negative for the Mets in general. Especially Cano. It's hard to sit him whereas you can easily justify giving Nimmo a lot of rest.
4:21
Cano is like the 10th or 12th best hitter in the system.

What should we do with Maeda in keeper leagues? Seems like the Dodgers problem of having too many good starters won’t go away anytime soon. Do you think he’ll stay in the pen or go back to the rotation next year?
Brad Johnson
4:21
I expect him to do exactly what he did this year
If they start out with enough healthy guys, he'll open in long relief and transition to starting when needed
then back to relief in time for the postseason
4:22
By now, the pattern is pretty well established

Are you starting Tanaka at Boston on Sunday or is time to begin using that roster spot to stream him in a 12 team?
Brad Johnson
4:22
I'd stream
DJ Tanner
4:23
Any hot prospects you have added in the past couple weeks in your deep dynasty leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:23
A lot of that adding action happened in July
The one guy I added recently who I'm excited about is Parker Chavers
4:24
He's probably not eligible to be picked up in your league since he's yet to be drafted.
Glenn Spankman
4:24
How'd you rate the following SP RoS- Partick Sandoval, Gonsolin, and Lyles?
Brad Johnson
4:24
16% tomatoes
Dave
4:24
Dustin May or Julio Urias for '20? (assuming both are in the rotation)
Brad Johnson
4:24
I like May more than Urias
4:25
But... I think Urias gets the longer in-majors leash
Pat G
4:25
In a 16 team keep forever, competing now, have too many long term DL. Cut 2 from Yandy, Piscotty, Taillon, Rodon, Pressly, A Hicks and Dom Smith.
Brad Johnson
4:25
I would definitely keep Hicks
4:26
I traded Taillon for Myles Straw in a somewhat similar situation (20-team, can't roster rookie or younger).
(I also desperately need a shot at some stretch run SB)
Trevor

Is Aquino a top 100 pick in a redraft league next year?
Brad Johnson
4:26
I'm a little torn on that
4:27
It's hard to lean away from that conclusion right now based on the results
Hoskins was a top 100 pick after his debut
But I can't shake the Franmil comp
There's an awful lot of risk for devastating slumps
Especially after an offseason layoff
