They're probably trying to "contend"

Odubel Herrera was rated fairly high by FG staff as OF. Do you feel he is underperforming or is this who he is?

Brad Johnson

4:51

Mostly who he is. He'll be maybe 10% better RoS

his numbers are fine and he has a nice role. It's just that everybody is hitting at a 50 HR pace

Chico

4:51

Stras + X = Miggy. Solve for X

Brad Johnson

4:52

Xavier Cedeno?

Xander Bogaerts is too much

I think that's a pretty even swap while he remains banged up and unproductive

4:53

you'll obviously have to pay more if you prefer to wait for him to perform first

Tim

4:53

Pujols/Vargas for Pollock/Manaea, who ya got?

Brad Johnson

4:53

Pollock by a landslide

super lopsided

Pollock is the Villar of 2017

Also the Villar of 2015

4:54

Which?

Pollock is the Villar of 2017 (20.7% | 6 votes)

Villar was the Pollock of 2016 (79.3% | 23 votes)

Total Votes: 29

Tim

So my staff has McCullers, Ray, Pineda and Salazar. In related news, I lead the league in both Ks and high blood pressure. Which guy do you think I should look to move for some better rates stability?

Brad Johnson

4:55

I think you try to find Chris Devenski, Andrew Miller, or other ratios stablizing RP. Keep the indigestion

Erick

4:55

What's your outlook on Jon Gray in dynasty leagues? Good buy-low opportunity?

Brad Johnson

4:55

Sure, if someone is actually selling low

Blackmon, Charlie

4:55

Hey Brad. Am I going to steal more bases than I get caught stealing?

Brad Johnson

4:55

Well yea, but you're not going to steal very many bases. Why are you running anyway, your offense is too good

Joey

4:56

Follow up: would you rank Pomeranz, Robbie Ray and Alex Wood?

Brad Johnson

4:56

Ah, that's hard, they're all the same asset class

Wood will throw the fewest innings most likely

Ok, time for me to wrap this up

Steve

4:56

Do you think Lucroy will turn it around?

Brad Johnson

4:57

Yes, I'm sticking with him

Paul Newman

4:57

David Price is gonna kill it when he comes back. I feel it.

Brad Johnson

4:57

Adam

4:57

Do the Phillies let it ride on Altherr in the OF when Howie K returns (and potentially let Howie give Joseph a break at 1b)?

Brad Johnson

4:57

I'll be disgruntled if Altherr doesn't continue to play every day. He may be their best player

Tony

4:58

Paul dejong is looming in triple A playing shortstop for the red birds. Is he playing 3rd this year for the cardinals?

Brad Johnson

4:58

Not so long as Gyorko and Wong continue hitting well. Jhonny will be back some day too and Greg Garcia is solid.

bargain hunter

4:59

JBJ vs. Peraza. Same asset class?

Brad Johnson

4:59

No, JBJ tops

Todd Frazier

4:59

Todd Frazier

Brad Johnson

4:59

mmm hmm

Greg

4:59

Are the Tigers and D-Backs really going to try to run K-Rod and Rodney out there all season and hope nobody notices?

Brad Johnson

4:59

Seems like it

Just saying...

4:59

If Justin Verlander takes Kate Upton's last name, he'll be Justin Upton.
