B to the ry
2:01
Who has a better year for fantasy, Volpe or Gunnar? Who do you like more in dynasty?
Brad Johnson
2:03
I like Volpe for both. I see Henderson as more of a high floor guy. He could turn out to be high floor in a Kyle Tucker kind of way, but I'm thinking more like a poor man's Bo Bichette.
As I noted before, I think Volpe is a comfortable 30/30 bet between his home venue and speed.
2:04
Emphasis on bet. That's the gamble, not the 50th percentile projection.
Bounce back
2:04
Most likely to bounce back- Giolito/Trevor Rogers/Berrios.
Brad Johnson
2:05
Oh boy, a trio of guys I don't believe in. I'll say Rogers since his decline was based upon losing an offspeed offering. The other two have bad fastballs exposed around the same time as the sticky stuff ban.
I kinda figure all three are sticky ban casualties.
Conforto
2:05
Michael Conforto Expectations? was a top 75 player at one time.
Brad Johnson
2:06
Still a 30-homer candidate. Love him as an adjustment pick. One of those "oops, I'm shy on homers, lemme take a shot" guys.
Cubs Fan
2:06
Who hits more HR's Edwin Rios or Patrick Wisdom?
Brad Johnson
2:06
Is Rios even going to play? Should he play?
IL stash
2:07
Who should I draft and stash for later this year or even next year? Position does not matter. Dynasty laegue
Brad Johnson
2:07
No shortage of pitchers to consider. Buehler comes to mind.
Nick Maton
2:08
What’s his year end numbers look like. Does he hit 20 dingers?
Brad Johnson
2:09
I doubt he gets the plate appearances. I do think he's a 20 dingers per 600 PA guy, but he's just not good enough to play that much. Even on a bad team. They have to assess Malloy later anyway.
Josh Bell vs Riley Greene
2:09
Debating who to drop to try to pick up Volpe in 12 teamer
Brad Johnson
2:09
I'd probably do Bell first. I don't think it matters. You're winning that trade.
Craning for a repeat
2:10
Is Story worth a last round pick?
Brad Johnson
2:10
If you have 5 IL spots, there are worse ways to use the pick. My leagues generally don't have IL or at least not much. So I've avoided him.
Brito
2:10
Is this guy legit, any chance he sticks?
Brad Johnson
2:12
Yes to both. Maybe not to Yankee standards. I consider him a mid-tier SP prospect. Looks like someone who might one day eat innings.
Jimmy Flintwhistle
2:12
Volpe a comfortable 30/30 bet? That's bold dude. Real bold.
Brad Johnson
2:13
Ok, lemme put it this way. Pick 10 players who you think are the best bets to go 30/30. Acuna, Tatis, JRod, Ohtani, then... you're getting into Volpe territory along with Witt, Harris, Bichette, and a few others.
2:14
Time to wrap it up
Hank Hill
2:14
Thoughts on Anthony Rendon? Picked him decently late, but don't know if I can expect over 100 games from him. Has hit pretty well in spring.
Brad Johnson
2:15
I'm not in on him. He famously doesn't like baseball and already got his big payday. Too much risk that he's just going through the motions. Obviously talented, but that'll take an aging body only so far.
Ragbrai
2:15
What can I expect from Moose in Colorado?
Brad Johnson
2:16
I wouldn't expect anything, but there's a chance we'll see the old 30-dinger pace Moose until the next injury. He's old and Coors is notoriously difficult for injury prevention.
Noelvi
2:16
14-man dynasty, any chance I come up this year? Long term outlook?
Brad Johnson
2:17
Some chance, lower than Elly and McLain. They have a lot to assess in the next two years at shortstop. Marte is behind McLain by a level and outclassed by Elly.
Jimmy Flintwhistle
2:18
I'm not giving u 10 who can go 30/30 because Volpe is a rookie, gonna bat down, and has 89 at bats above AA...
Brad Johnson
2:18
Ok. Then don't gamble on him.
This is a good teachable moment. I try to share my instincts in these chats, but they won't match to everyone's playing style.

in an NL only league,  would you do a package of $5 Lars Nootbar, $7 MacKenzie Gore, and the 7th pick for $25 JT realmuto?
Brad Johnson
2:19
I'd need to know who's in the draft pool.
2:20
Assuming nobody special, I think that's OK. I don't like Gore, so I'm seeing the offer as a cheap Nootbaar for a pricier JTR
2:21
It's not a must-do swap imo, but I like the general approach of turning a good player into a great one
JD
2:22
Do U play NFBC ME in LV?
Brad Johnson
2:22
Hard no. I have a mental block against doing Sunday FAAB. I completely forgot about Week 1 even though I was reminded on Saturday.
I get in trouble whenever this comes up...
