Brad Johnson

12:12

If you're in a 12 team setting, there will be MUCH better options on the wire

Dan

12:13

Which one of these pitchers should I drop to stream in a 10 team roto?Porcello, A Sanchez. Stroman, Gausman, Lackey

Brad Johnson

12:13

lackey, gausman, or none

Kid

12:13

David Dahl - buy, sell or hold?

Brad Johnson

12:13

any

buy if his owner is panicked, sell if you're getting full-health offers, hold if the offers are crap

Sean

12:14

Give me one player currently that's a "bubble" (ie, irrationally overvalued) and another one that you think is "going to zero" (ie, currently valuable but will be waiver-wire fodder by, say, midseason)

Brad Johnson

12:14

Need a moment to think about this

12:15

Buxton's gotta be the bubble

went for more than $10 everywhere

he's a $1 flier

12:16

A good player zeroing out...probably a pitcher like Jon Gray or Kevin Gausman

the perennial breakout profile guys

Pete

12:16

Saves league - Nova a fair price to pay for a top-mid-tier closer like Oh or Diaz?

Brad Johnson

12:16

Uh, very much so

12:17

Oh and Diaz are not mid-tier closers

they're easy top 10

Nova for one of them is an absolute heist

Drew

12:17

Was offered Seung Hwan Oh for my Blake Treinen and Koda Glover. Have to accept that right? Saves+Holds league

Brad Johnson

12:17

Yes

shouldn't have wasted time asking me :)

Dumpster Diver

12:18

Chances Pit switches to Rivero from Watson?

Brad Johnson

12:18

Not too high?

Watson has to lose his job, then they have to decide they prefer another LHP to Nicasio and Hudson

which they could

they're all similarly high ceiling, low floor

Kid

12:18

Health provided, is it far to expect maybe an Adam LaRoche-ish season from Greg Bird? Maybe a hint more power?

Brad Johnson

12:19

Easy 30 HR, maybe 40+

he's a fly ball pull hitter

the rest of the stats may be a touch painful

or they could be fine

Mark

12:19

Delino DeShields worth holding onto?

Brad Johnson

12:19

I'm getting so many questions about DeShields. Did I miss something? He's a 4th OFer.

Ken

12:20

In case I got lost in the time skip - what are biggest differences for switch from daily to weekly roto? Obviously platooning/streaming changes, but any other major adjustments needed?

Brad Johnson

12:20

Not really. In draft, you'll want to focus on actual full time starters. The stars and scrubs approach withers more often

Mark

12:21

Pujols says he's finally pain-free. Expecting good things this season?

Brad Johnson

12:21

Does he now? Coulda sworn I've heard this every 12 months or so...

I think he'll continue to do what he's done

home runs and a low BABIP
