Detmers v Blackburn
2:37
Been holding Detmers in my 12 team keeper league - essentially wasting a bench spot (yeah he was sitting on my bench when he threw his no-no) but I need to add a viable starter.  Blackburn is out there as the top FA starter - drop Detmers and grab Blackburn or hold Detmers and wait for him to turn it around?
Brad Johnson
2:37
I prefer Blackburn. You didn't have luck selling Detmers?
Cole
2:37
Cal Mitchell worth rostering to see what he can do?
Brad Johnson
2:37
Can't hurt, scouting types think he's a backup, but he's defying them right now.
Brad Johnson the 1st
2:38
You are listed as Brad Johnson 2 on MLBTR byline. What did you do to the 1st Brad? Are you a clone?
Brad Johnson
2:38
I've been wondering that myself. I have clear memories dating back to February, then it's all a little fuzzy.
Corey B
2:38
Should I burn my 2 IR spots on Luzardo & Clevinger, let 1 go, or both go?
Brad Johnson
2:39
If you don't have anyone else to put there, hang on until you're forced to do otherwise.
I'm still awaiting updates on both - I don't know if they're out weeks or months.
Jacob
2:39
Is it worth having Tellez and Donaldson on your roster? I can only start one between those options.
Brad Johnson
2:40
I like have redundancy, especially with players who have clear matchup effects.
Kevin
2:40
Should I drop Jose Berrios?
Brad Johnson
2:40
I probably wouldn't just yet. Not as demonstrably broken as Trevor Rogers.
Franco
2:40
So far, who has been the best free agent signing of the past winter?
Brad Johnson
2:41
This feels like it has a correct answer.
Carlos Rodon?
Oh, Kevin Gausman
2:42
hm to Martin Perez who costs a penny for his 1.5 WAR
Brew Crew
2:42
Lorenzo Cain or Tyrone Tyler
Brad Johnson
2:42
Taylor for me
Kevin
2:42
Time to let go of Steven Kwan?
Brad Johnson
2:42
I dunno about all that, but he doesn't HAVE to be rostered in 12-team mixed.
2:43
Kind of an OFing David Fletcher roto-profile with a little more juice in the non-AVG categories.
Fletcher was a frequently rostered guy for me because of the multi-eligibility more than the stats.
Alabama Hot Pocket
2:43
Erik Fedde....are you buying in 12 teamers as a streamer?  More?
Brad Johnson
2:44
I bought early on and decided to discard him because I'll never know when to use him. Case in point, he pitched well against the Dodgers.
Johnny Ola
2:44
Will Aaron Judge hit 60 HR's this season?
Brad Johnson
2:44
I'll take the under, but it sure would be fun if he did.
Projection is closer to 44 HR at present.
Corey B
2:44
Hold/Sell on Josiah Gray in a 10 team mixed?
Brad Johnson
2:44
Sell/cut
Kevin
2:45
Ke’Bryan Hayes and Robbie Ray just became available in my league. Are either one worth picking up?
Brad Johnson
2:46
Hayes should work in most formats, and I'm optimistic Ray is back on track. You shouldn't expect the wild stats he posted last year, but the K-forward profile of years past is back in evidence.
Connor
2:46
Would you let go Joe?
Brad Johnson
2:46
In 12-team mixed, he's maybe a hair better than a typical streamer.
2:47
If you see brighter and shinier, you can move on
Darren
2:47
I know Kike has done better as of late, but any Duran supplants JBJ or Arroyo soon (pre-all star break)?
Brad Johnson
2:47
I'm just as stumped as everyone else about Duran.
2:48
He's clearly not the superstar he was promoted to be last season, but he does appear to be safely above average.
Josh Naylor
2:48
Think he'll pick it back up where he left before COVID?  Love to plug that power profile into my UT spot and let it ride.
