Why do you hate Encarnacion so much?
Brad Johnson
4:50
I don't?

Bellinger isn't Ozuna. Ozuna doesn't have a history of the OBP
Brad Johnson
4:50
yea that's the part that bothered me. Though I'm not positive Bellinger is a high OBP guy in the majors
4:51
once pitchers figure out how to convert all those whiffs into outs more consistently
it will happen
you don't miss that many baseballs and avoid dreadful slumps

What do you expect from Corey Dickerson the rest of the season?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Some kind of deification
gold idols
4:52
Guy is one of the most fun hitters to watch right now
hits everything

Goldy + Charlie Morton & Marcell Ozuna for Moncada and Miggy. Do you do it in a 15-team keeper?
Brad Johnson
4:52
No

Carlos Correa

Why do the Astros sit me constantly and treat me like a catcher and why haven't I even attempted a steal this year when I have close to an 80% success rate?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Hmm...when you put it that way, sounds like you're injured
4:53
given what we know about Correa's 2016 - his performance dropped precipitously anytime he was banged up - this would make perfect sense

I currently have the not so bad problem of being forced to sit 2 useful players (Mark Reynolds at home, Bregman, HanRam, Ellsbury, Avisail Garcia) due to some luck in free agent acquisitions/roster construction. I could use another top end pitcher, but my league mates are all currently not interested in anything close to market value for their aces. Should I sit tight in case of injury, or pay the premium to acquire an ace?
Brad Johnson
4:54
I'm not going to answer this question directly
I am going to go on a tangent about the relative value of aces this year
there are, what, less than 10 actual aces in baseball right now?
4:55
plus a bunch of guys with the track record and poor results
and a bundle of new ones like Wood and Paxton
pitchers remain a terrible investment - they break all the time
even Bumgarner broke
4:56
but... if you have multiple aces in this season where the waiver wire is stuffed to the brim with hitters, you're going to finish near the top of your league

Tyler Anderson's (SP-Col) peripherals look great. Is a breakout, or at least a strong, useful stretch of starts, imminent?
Brad Johnson
4:56
my co-owner told me to look at Anderson's recent performance. I haven't yet
you want to see an increase in GBs and soft contact
4:57
if that's happening, then sure, I'll buy
