I'd go Ohtani (7), Witt (8), or Trout (20) for the first pick and Burnes (16) or Cole (19) with the second one.
numbers in parentheses are NFBC ADP

In your opinion, is it worth drafting a player earlier than his ranking/ADP would indicate for his multi-positional eligibility
Brad Johnson
1:35
In theory, that should be priced in. I will sometimes reach if my roster needs flexibility. Usually, the answer is no.
You should also pick whoever best helps your team
1:36
ADP is for like the top 40 picks. After that, it's an impediment to success.
1:37
(I should note, that applies more for advanced players)

Do you have faith in Nootbarr, Riley Greene, or Conforto as via full season options in the outfield?
Brad Johnson
1:37
I really like Nootbaar and Conforto this year. Not in on Greene until he shows something more.

Care to start up a 20 team dynasty MLBTradeRumors league?
Brad Johnson
1:38
Not personally, but I can try to help facilitate one.

Generally, do you like to target premium hitters or premium pitchers in the early rounds? Or have an even mix of both?
Brad Johnson
1:38
It's format specific. Hitters have more durability, but that's reflected in their ADP already.
1:39
I want pitchers early in 5x5 H2H. I tend to go bat-heavy in 5x5 roto.

I can keep Rutschmann in round 22, or Michael Harris in round 9 of a 5x5, 13-team mixed league. Which way would you go?
Brad Johnson
1:40
I'd probably shoot for Harris' 5 category upside. As long as it's a 1 C league, you should always have access to someone playable.

https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/news/mlb-multiple-baseballs-2022-season...  We do have evidence that mlb was using a deadball last year except in Aaron judge games. They literally treated the balls
Brad Johnson
1:42
Look, I don't want to disparage someone doing novel baseball research, but that was a bad study. The reported results don't match the data. It's clickbait.
1:43
I didn't follow up on this after the fact, but it's a tidier explanation with obvious evidence: https://www.patreon.com/posts/66128479

Cody Bellinger/Joey Gallo comeback years? I think both should improve a bit without a shift.
Brad Johnson
1:43
I like Gallo more than Bellinger. I view them both as random number generators.

How quickly does Adley Rutschman get taken on average in a six team league??
Brad Johnson
1:44
I honestly have no idea. That's a SMALL league.
Lemme check something
1:45
Last round-ish. He's roughly the 6th-best catcher so there's no point to taking him earlier.
Worst case, you use Sean Murphy or Alejandro Kirk instead
1 from 3
1:45
Long term, 5+ years, which 1 should I keep? Avg, rn, rbi, hr, sb, ops. Gimenez, Chisholm, Grissom
Brad Johnson
1:46
I'd do Chisholm. The ceiling is pretty impressive. The mid-point is nice too. Gimenez is safer. I can't construct a case for Grissom.

5x5 roto, draft Jordan Walker over Tyler O’Neill?
Brad Johnson
1:46
I'm not, but that's me.
1:47
I think you totally can. It's a gamble.
Sawyer

I traded josh jung for Riley greene, 1 for 1. Did I make an okay trade?
Brad Johnson
1:47
Yea, it's fine. I prefer Jung personally, but they're both in need of proving something.

Brad Johnson
1:48
2 of Garrett, Houck, Leiter, or Hall imo
1:49
I think I lean Garrett and Hall. Not certain.
(cutting them, that is)
Matt
1:49
Would you trade Emmanuel Clase for matt Barnes, Zack Greinke, and Steven Kwan in a deep 20 team roto dynasty league??
Brad Johnson
1:49
No, absolutely not
