10 teams, 35 roster spots, keep 20 and a points league that doesn’t care about wins. Should I keep Giolito? I have Degrom, Singer, Rodon, Ray, B Garett, Cease, and Beuhler.
Brad Johnson
1:09
Probably. Should at least trade him for something.

Gunnar or Carroll for 2023
Brad Johnson
1:10
Carroll's fantasy stats are pure glamor
Gunnar might be a little disappointing in fantasy

This is great!
Brad Johnson

So... bad news... it's time to wrap up

Jon Berti or Jorge Polanco? Alec Bohm or Vinnie Pasquantino? Thoughts on Joey Meneses for the rest of the season? I had Schwindel last year and his amazing two months helped me win it all. Meneses or anyone else like that you think has potential to go off these last 6-7 weeks?
Brad Johnson
1:11
Here's a slew of questions. I'd take Polanco unless you can stunt a lot of points from +10 SBs and have room to give in the other categories.
1:12
Sometimes that happens. Been in plenty of 12-team mixed leagues where it turns into a two-way battle between two teams 12s and 11s in just about every category.
Elbert
1:12
Been a little frustrating seeing Nolan Jones sit so often. Will he be a every day player?
Brad Johnson
1:12
Long term, certainly.
1:13
The Guardians do have some depth right now so they're trying out matchups
Mike
1:13
I need a starter and I’m looking at Eric Lauer. Thoughts?
Brad Johnson
1:13
He's a 4.25 ERA pitcher since hitters woke up in mid-May
And that's with a 5.30 FIP and 4.65 xFIP.
1:14
So... I'd keep looking
I forgot to answer all of ChicagoJim's questions. Backing up...
I like Pasquantino more than Bohm. More explosive upside.
1:15
Meneses, I mentioned earlier, is kind of like C.J. Cron at sea level. I'm here for it as long as your expectations are tempered.
Meneses is as good a shot in the dark as any for that old-man outburst like Schwindel
SB’s
1:15
10 SB’s is all I need to pick up 5 - 6 points, where can I find them for these last few weeks? Anybody about to get called up?
Brad Johnson
1:16
Berti, Bubba Thompson, Esteury Ruiz all come to mind. And you're going to pay a price in the other categories.
Nate Carballo
1:16
Ok to drop Lodolo in a keepers league to stream (this week Smyly)?
Brad Johnson
1:17
You know, I looked at this, said "yes" to myself, then immediately felt uncertain
So... I don't know if "I don't know" helps, but I don't know... maybe it does?
:)
Pratto
1:18
Seems like Pratto needs some more time. Assuming you're in for next year, though, right?
Brad Johnson
1:18
I don't think it's a time issue.
He's Kyle Schwarber-ish
It's always going to be hot/cold with him
Met trics
1:18
Vlad/D.May/B.Garrett for T.Turner/L.Castillo/Rizzo.  Which side got the better end?
Brad Johnson
1:19
I like the Turner side considerably more
Honestly, if this isn't dynasty, it's probably a lopsided swap. Putting a lot of pressure on May to pick up exactly where he left off.
If it is dynasty, then it's a pretty classic PV for FV swap.
Zeke
1:20
Thoughts on Mitch Keller is he starting to get it?
Brad Johnson
1:20
I'd have to dig in more. Been ignoring him tbh
Hadn't even noticed he had 6 consecutive good outings
1:21
Mostly against weak opponents fwiw
ChicagoJim
1:21
Alright....pulling the trigger on picking up meneses and pasquantino and dropping berti and bohm
Connecting…
