Brad Johnson

And if it's deGrom specifically, that would utterly annihilate his fantasy value. He'd be a $1 player in 12 mixed moving from Yankee Stadium to CitiField
4:41
Maikel Franco is another comp I see
Turgid
4:42
So you like Chapman over Andujar for next year?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Absolutely. Defense doesn't matter except when it's so bad/good to affect playing time. Chapman absolutely starts. Andujar is doing his best to lose his job with defense
4:43
Chapman's hitting profile is also better if less powerful - especially in OBP formats

5 Cat OBP League - replacing Franco and Marwin G. - help in any category is welcomed - options include: Piscotty, ARosario, Aldaberto, and all the Padres, Hosmer included. Thoughts?
Brad Johnson
4:43
I assume Wil is off the table?
4:44
I like Urias, Renfroe, Piscotty, and if you need SB then Mondesi
Not necessarily in that order
But those are the most playable imo
Jordash

Worth holding onto Billy Hamilton?  He has hit well recently but not stealing any bags, which is obviously the reason he is on the roster...
Brad Johnson
4:44
Yes. He's healthy. The SB will come.

Going into H2H points playoffs next week and Wheeler is my only 2 start pitcher (W/L/QS)... but he and DeGrom are both facing Boston. Do I swallow hard and pray for Boston to go cold? Or sit Wheeler for a Glasnow or Gibson type?
Brad Johnson
4:45
I'd use Wheeler, although I'd also like to squeeze Glasnow in somewhere. Hard to believe he isn't playable over your other options
Turgid
4:45
12-team mixed - is $20 K Davis a good keeper if he starts and possibly remains DH-only?
Brad Johnson
4:46
You need 20 games for eligibility?
He only has 11 so far (10 starts). He should at least gain eligibility in most formats by end of May
So I wouldn't worry about the DH only designation
4:47
I think this is a great winter to sell Davis under the "it's better to sell a year too early than a year too late" doctrine
That said, keeping him for $20 seems like an easy decision
Michael
4:47
Are you bullish on Victor Robles in 2019?
Brad Johnson
4:47
Yes.
4:48
Though you have to realize, bullish on Robles means like a 100 wRC+ with SB-heavy performance
Probably from the lower half of the lineup (but maybe not).
Bob Villar

Should anyone own a pair of underwear for 14+ years?  We have a league member who's proud of this.
Brad Johnson
4:49
I know I've got some pretty old boxers, but I don't think any have lived quite that long
So old hold overs from college were retired in the last couple years
That's just some underwear talk for ya
B. Ryce Hammers Luscious Locks

Re Glasnow, I am starting Cole, Sevvy, DeGrom,Paxton, Buehler in other slots
Brad Johnson
4:49
Well, I stand corrected. Nice rotation.
Blue Jays Sadness
4:50
I do not really understand the low futrue rating for Cavan Biggio. Is this just a result of not being updated lately? He has had two very solid years
Brad Johnson
4:50
Report says it was updated in 2018
4:51
I'm going to say they don't believe the contact skills will hold up in the majors. Or perhaps a lack of defensive home is the bigger issue
"Eric A Longenhagen: He has changed but not enough to be a 50 FV. Probably not a 2B, still has some offensive issues. 40 FV, realistically."
That's from July
4:52
For those of us who like to lean on statistical profiles, I very much like Biggio as a deep dynasty stash.
another bad dynasty manager
4:53
Tell the underwear wearer: yes, if you think it helps you win. IIRC, the Yankees wore the same briefs some yrs. ago during a winning stretch.  I felt sorry for their wives.
Jordan
4:53
Think Roman Quinn is mixed league viable next year? Or he he more fringe/NL only?
Brad Johnson
4:53
Probably the latter unfortunately. It's a shame (for us) too because he's Trea Turner when he's healthy and playing
4:54
But the simple truth of it is that he NEVER plays more than 60 games in a season so the Phillies will absolutely make sure he's in a 4th OFer role
