Hey Brad! 12 team mixed league: I can only roster 3 of these 6 due to some forthcoming DL activations. Which 3 stay out of this group? Heyward, L Martin, Valencia, Saunders, Reddick, Pearce. Ideally, I'd keep at least one of Heyward/Martin for the speed. Thanks!
Brad Johnson
1:56
Woof, that's unfortunate, I like all those guys. I think you toss Valencia, Pearce, and Reddick for now

Roll with Danny Duffy against the Mets tomorrow night?
Brad Johnson
1:57
The Braves swept them. I'd roll with anybody against the Mets at this point

need your help - which C to drop - Gattis or Weiters?
Brad Johnson
1:57
Wieters
Gattis starts every day, Wieters needs frequent rest
Jon Targ

Glasnow or Alex Reyes as a flyer this year only?
Brad Johnson
1:57
Reyes may be more likely to get an opportunity
Bob Dobolina

Vince Velasquez hit waivers in my league (11-team redraft) - he's a must-add, right?
Brad Johnson
1:58
Only if you have an open DL slot

Is Eovaldi a top-50 pitcher? Top-75?
Brad Johnson
1:58
top 75 smells right to me.

Is Chen droppable for Moore, Gausman or Hellickson? 14 team- 5x5
Brad Johnson
1:58
Only in the right matchups. They're all streamables.

Does Alex Reyes come up and make an impact in the Cardinals starting rotation in the second half?
Brad Johnson
1:59
Heh, just sort of touched upon this. He's one of the closest MiLB pitchers to a MLB opportunity. It's always hard to guess who will Syndergaard and who will Berrios.
the potential is there for some big starts

At this point in the season are we seeing true talent for the year or can players like Villar regress back to career norms?
Brad Johnson
2:00
it's more complicated than that. And to elaborate would take too much time in a chat. Remind me sometime and I'll make it the lede for The Daily Grind one day

Pitcher A has an ERA of 2.00. Player A's offense averages 2 runs per game. Pitcher B has an ERA of 3.00. Pitcher B's offense averages 4 runs per game. Which pitcher is more valuable?
Brad Johnson
2:01
Well, it's situational. What's your roto rank and raw numbers in wins and rate stats? (I ask rhetorically, the answer is to manage the categories that matter most to your team)
Shawn
2:01
In a shallow re-draft will I regret dropping Heyward or Hanley to stream guys who are hot?
Brad Johnson
2:01
You will feel regret at some point, yes
2:02
it's possible to also benefit overall while feeling regret

Is K Marte starting SS material in 12 team mixed leagues? My other options are Semien and Jose Ramirez.
Brad Johnson
2:02
They're all fringe starters if it's not a MI league. Easily rosterable in MI leagues
Erik

Will Yelich ever pick up the pace on HRs and steals? Would you trade Carlos Carrasco for him?
Brad Johnson
2:03
maybe on SB. Just doesn't lift the ball enough for HR
I'd hang onto Carrasco

Addison Russell is still going to be great, right? Not every youngster can come up and be an instant success...
Brad Johnson
2:03
Correct. Great might be overstating it, but there's big breakout potential.
I've been harping about Tim Anderson lately. He's a super utility guy now but I think he'll be a good starter in 2-3 years
2:04
For now, White Sox fans need to be patient
Billy

Took over a team on the far reaches of making the playoffs. In your idea of a rebuild how young do I get?
Brad Johnson
2:04
I can't really sell you a formula for rebuilding. It's all about chasing arbitrage opportunities
in your league, that may mean Kevin Maitan or Dylan Cozens or Randal Grichuk

Can I overreact and grab Rondon in my Holds-counting Dynasty league? I'd have to drop Motte who has actually owned the Rox 8th inning for 3 weeks and looked okay. But... 99 MPH!!!!
Brad Johnson
2:05
If the question is "can I drop Jason Motte" the answer is ALWAYS yes.
Loving all the dynasty questions today
