Also, Maikal Franco worth owning in 5x5 10 team leagues? I have Seager and Beltre at 3B already but could go short at another position I suppose
Brad Johnson
2:09
He's worth owning but you should let somebody else pull the trigger
2:10
Or trade to upgrade another spot THEN pick him up
there's no reason to stockpile in a 10 team league. There is ALWAYS another guy at a given position
closer being the one possible exception

I have a 13% SwStrk rate, and 70% F-Strk rate, and yet no one is talking about me. I know that I have a bad fastball, but people should take notice!
Brad Johnson
2:11
Stream starter - usually somebody to stream against due to the HR rate
Gucci Mane
2:11
There's way too much discontent with Heyward. He's racked up 24 runs, and he's been hitting terribly (until a few days ago). He's hitting in the 2-hole in a great lineup. And he was drafted a few rounds after Upton...
Brad Johnson
2:11
My only real concern is with the minor injuries he's battled
those can cascade into a more serious problem
and they do seem to have affected his performance
2:12
You mention his 24 runs, but that's terrible production from his lineup role. He should be on pace to score 120 runs, not 75.

Do you think Villar finishes the season top 3 in stolen bases?
Brad Johnson
2:13
Yes. Possibly top 1. Nobody is running as often as him

In an OBP league, I dropped Puig for Steve Pearce. Tell me it's going to be OK, Brad. TELL ME IT'S GOING TO BE OK.
Brad Johnson
2:13
Well, depending on the league depth, I don't think you'll really have much to regret. My concern is how long Pearce will continue to mash. He's a tough character to read

Is it time to just outright dump Adam Jones in a 10 man Dynasty league?
Brad Johnson
2:13
No

Ryu had a setback in his rehab and missed his next scheduled start and Tyson Ross is set to begin throwing. Are either worth a DL slot in a 12-team league? Will Ross make it back if he has just been cleared for problems? Shoulder problems seem like more an unknown than elbows.
Brad Johnson
2:14
There's always setback risk. If there's no opportunity cost to stashing one, go ahead. I'd go with Ross
If there is a cost, I'd pass

If you had to drop one of these guys in an AL only league, which one would you choose: Teixeira, Fielder?
Brad Johnson
2:15
Sorry you have that choice, they're both yuck
I'd probably dump Tex

What's your take on Conforto's ceiling?
Brad Johnson
2:15
30 HR, solid average, no speed, tons of run production while batting third
2:16
Kind of like the good version of Colby Rasmus

which 2b should I own hereon out in a 12 team 5x5 h2h - pearce, solarte or jose ramirez?
Brad Johnson
2:16
Definitely not Solarte. Pearce is the hot hand and I've always had a soft spot for Ramirez as a steady type
Kate Upton
2:17
Can Verlander keep it up or is he really just getting lucky? (aside from the 8th last night)
Brad Johnson
2:17
He did this last year too, but it took longer
At the very least, he can give the Tigers a regular chance at a win while pitching 7+ IP
he'll flop occasionally

Hi, Roto 12-man 5x5 standard league, I was offered Altuve and Yelich for José Fernández, Brett Lawrie, Stephen Piscotty and Khris Davis. Yay or nay?
Brad Johnson
2:18
Really depends on who fills the gaps. I'm no longer a huge Yelich fan. The GB rate isn't going to change which kills his fantasy numbers
2:19
Altuve is obviously the best of the bunch, but you're paying for the best stretch of his career. I think the cost is a little too steep. I assume you need SB though?
Sometimes it's worth overpaying for a guy who dominates a category
Nathan
2:19
Is Corey Dickerson worth owning in 12 team leagues at this point? Babip is very low but so is the 11% LD rate and his already pretty high K% is up 3.5%.
Brad Johnson
2:20
Yea, I still pick him up when I see him cut. I've slowly added more and more shares
He's also cuttable if you really need a spot for something big
