Thoughts on DL Hall? Worth stashing? Reliever risk?
Brad Johnson
11:58
I'd try to focus on others who might be a little less volatile and/or make normal starts. Hall is extremely talented, but he's spent so little time pitching as a pro.
Billington
11:58
Adell you still consider a star smh, really?
Brad Johnson
11:59
Yea, incredibly volatile to be sure
Tyler
12:00
Can Tyler Anderson keep this up?
Brad Johnson
12:00
More or less. Something like 7.50 K/9, 2.00 BB/9, 3.80 ERA, 1.18 WHIP.
Plenty of run support/Ws
Szymchak
12:01
I’ve been offered Seiya Suzuki for Vinnie Pasquantino. Should I take it?
Brad Johnson
12:01
For redraft, yes, I prefer Suzuki. In a dynasty format, that's a taut offer.
Will
12:01
In a keeper league, would you keep Kirk or Rutschman?  Who do you see being better long term?
Brad Johnson
12:02
I prefer Kirk personally, but they're both top ~3 offensive C's long-term. Along with Will Smith.
12:03
Maybe put them on the trade block and see which one gets you a better return.
Chucky
12:03
Story, just a guy, while not calling Coors home anymore? Looks like the Great Green Monster gamble wasn’t worth the buck(s).
Brad Johnson
12:04
That's not really how I interpret it.
Even with the dreadful April, he's still something like the 75th-best fantasy player.
12:05
If we treat April as an outlier/adjustment period, then he's an easy Top 50 guy.
The steals HAVE to keep happening to hold up his value.
Time to start wrapping up
Tyler
12:06
Estuary Ruiz > cj abrams?
Brad Johnson
12:06
For fantasy, I'd lean yes. IRL, no.
There's a risk Ruiz doesn't actually hit enough in the Majors.
Payne
12:07
Would you rather have Lauer or T Walker ROS?
Brad Johnson
12:08
I like Lauer more personally. But I see this as a ceiling (Lauer) or floor (Walker) question. Are you chasing or protecting categories?
Dart throw
12:08
Better bet for saves ROS, Alexis Diaz, Ken Giles, Garrett Whitlock?
Brad Johnson
12:08
Whitlock
Fantasy baseball underachiever
12:09
I turned down an offer of Tyler O’Neill, Bo Bichette and Miles Mikolas for Yordan Alvarez. Was I a fool? My current SS is Witt Jr. Other OF is Buxton, Mullins, Gurriel Jr, Walsh and Seiya Suzuki. I have a 3-headed monster in Monoah, Alcantara, Nola.
Brad Johnson
12:10
It's a fair offer in a vacuum. Bichette and Alvarez are similar value. But if you already have Witt, then you're probably better off with Alvarez. Mikolas is just a throw-in.
Jaxon
12:10
Kirilloff, a starting fantasy 1b by seasons end?
Brad Johnson
12:10
Or right now
Depends on your league depth, I suppose. He's startable in 12-team
Guest
12:11
I just traded Framber and Doval for Francisco Alvarez and Gunnar in 4x4 Otto? I do ok, I’m in a rebuild
Brad Johnson
12:11
Yes, you should be happy with that long term, pending costs associated with those guys
rusty
12:11
Soto for Tatis in a dynasty?  Not worried about this year
Brad Johnson
12:11
Yea, it's fine to trade best player candidates.
Ryan
12:12
Gunnar Henderson worth keeping.  Keeper league.  6 keepers
Whose a comp for gunnar Henderson
Brad Johnson
12:13
Statistically, I'm looking for something like Kyle Tucker.
Power, speed, OBP traits. He does bat LH which wasn't nerfed in Camden Yards.
