Trade offer

Mead for Pfaadt
Brad Johnson
2:06
Fair. Promising young players who haven't hit the ground running yet.
Guest

Dynasty league, drop one, Varsho, Melendez, Endy Rodriguez
Brad Johnson
2:06
Oof.
2:07
Whichever one you drop, you'll probably regret it later. Remember, Varsho will lose C eligibility.
Blackburn or pass
2:07
Do you think Paul Blackburn is a good 2-start week pitcher? Royals tonight and then most likely ChiSox over the weekend.
Brad Johnson
2:07
I prefer to pass on Blackburn
2:08
The matchups are enticing though. You desperate?
HTH
Brad Johnson
2:08
I'd go for Story in redraft
Hopefully the rust is almost off
DynastyInTheWeeds
2:09
do you see any utility in relinquishing a prospect slot via promotion of Turang or Bo Naylor (neither are needed on my Active/Reserves roster) who are sitting in my minors slots until next season? i can switch 'em out for any available rookie-eligible prospect that isn't FYPD eligible
Brad Johnson
2:09
Not enough info for me to advise. I'd need to know who you'd add in their place and who you'd cut from your regular roster to make room.
2:10
That said, Turang and Naylor don't seem particularly impactful right now.
Trade offer
2:10
Aged based keeper league (drop anyone over 30). Raleigh/Mauricio/Flaherty for Realmuto/M.Kelly/Bednar
Brad Johnson
2:11
Assuming you're going for it, I like the second trio. Get the upgrades.
Matt W
2:11
Do you have faith in Jesse Scholtens ROS?  Matchups in fantasy playoffs include KC, DET, MIN, WSH
Brad Johnson
2:12
Nope, not even with those soft matchups. That said, sometimes you have to make bad bets and hope they work out.
Keep two for 2024
2:12
Arenado/Betts/Gausman
Brad Johnson
2:13
Definitely Betts.
I think you can defer the decision on the other two until later.
Never know when a pitcher's arm will explode.
Evan Carter
2:13
Do you think I come up this September?
Brad Johnson
2:13
Nope.
A greater gamble
2:13
Where does one go to find higher-stakes leagues? And how much higher is the level of competition than a standard league of friends who are baseball fans and take it seriously but are not obsessives?
Brad Johnson
2:14
If you're looking to transition out of a friends and family league, I'd hit up the Pitcher List discord or maybe Ottoneu if you're up to learning a slightly different format.
2:15
Those are the next step up the difficulty ladder.
Guest
2:15
have both Yainer diaz and Rutchman in a one catcher keeper league… is Diaz worth holding onto?
Brad Johnson
2:15
Probably not in your situation. I do like Diaz as a new Salvy candidate.
Ranch Flowerbed
2:15
How do you view Bellinger's performance (and future outlook) considering the naysayers' exit velocity criticisms.
Brad Johnson
2:16
He's never been an EV god.
That said, he should be careful to pick small home venues for himself.
2:17
This seems a natural sell-high window. Assuming you can get an offer that full pays for his current stat production.
My attempts to sell high have garnered offers for about 60% of his stats
Buffy the Umpire Slayer

for higher stakes, join a non-Main Event NFBC League to test your skills
Brad Johnson
2:18
I don't recommend NFBC as your first foray outside of a friendly Yahoo-like setting.
2:19
For one, their FAAB system is a real pain to play. Master some FanTrax invite leagues or ottoneu and then think about a draft&hold/bestball on NFBC if you still want a challenge.
Guest

Dynasty need to drop a prospect, Manzardo, Brady House, Carson Williams, Drew Gilbert, Edward Cabrera, or Robby Snelling
Brad Johnson
2:20
I think Cabrera would be my cut. Maybe House.
2:21
I'm still convinced Cabrera is a good reliever fwiw. I've never viewed him as an adequate SP.
