I'll take actualized talent every time I can get it.
Rockies
4:09
Is the NL wild card Rockies @ Dbacks, Dbacks @ Rockies or something else?
Brad Johnson
4:10
Seems like it. But the Cardinals have been creeping back into relevance and the Brewers still have a strong roster too
That race is far from over
It's not half as interesting as the AL race though
Ryan Arthur

Michael Taylor or Zimmer at CF? Think Hoskins hits enough to be a regular LF in a 12 teamer?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Hoskins hits enough to be a top 10 round draft pick next year.
That's my bold bet of the day
Zimmer is so much better than Taylor, although the slump isn't ideal...

Thoughts on Willie Calhoun. Will he be up in September? What do you see as his ceiling next year in terms of avg and Hr?
Brad Johnson
4:12
Need to see him playing in the majors, seems like a legit bat. He'll probably be up in September, but I still can't find a way to play him regularly

Dynasty format:  Judge or Bellinger career?
Brad Johnson
4:12
I'm all for Judge
He has Stanton power. Bellinger's power is more comparable to a guy like Dozier
4:13
He CAN hit a bunch of HR, but there will be years when he doesn't
A healthy Judge is going to mash mash mash
Bleh
4:13
Am I crazy for continuing to start Jose Peraza?  I feel like there's some stolen bases waiting to happen but they just aren't
Brad Johnson
4:13
That horse looks pretty dead to me
Losing playing time too
Alex

14 team 2 C league.  Just lost McCann, any suggestions on who may be available that can be useful?
Brad Johnson
4:14
Alex Avila, Robinson Chirinos, and Miguel Montero recently gained fairly full time jobs
Might see one of Flowers or Suzuki on the wire
Austin Barnes is having a top 15 season despite being a backup
James McCann rocks LHP, Rupp is a lesser version
I think that about covers it

Would you trade Machado for Bellinger in a keep forever points league?
Brad Johnson
4:15
I think I prefer Machado. It's close.
I don't think you're really "wrong" with either of them
Colin

Is Avisail Garcia part of the White Sox rebuild? Think he can breakout like Ozuna?
Brad Johnson
4:16
Ugh, I've been a Garcia pessimist for half a decade now. I think his skill set is far too limited to be a starting OFer. He's like a better Yasmany Tomas.
And the better part only applies to 2017

ottoneu FG Points...was sitting good on pitching at the start of the year, now it doesn't seem like I'll hit 1500 IP (on pace 1425) thanks to injuries, I have 6 SPs and only a couple (C-Mart and Scherzer) that I trust on a regular basis (Folty, E-Rod, Odorizzi and Davies are the others).  Got a bunch of relief pitching though.  Anyone you recommend to go after?  Worth looking at someone like Banda, Bettis or Montero?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Trevor Williams is a guy I've been hyping recently. Make sure you hit your cap. Even if you're only getting 3 pts/IP, it's well worth covering those last 75 innings
Wilson Betemit

Standard 5x5 roto, not keepers or anything. I just traded Anthony Rendon, Alex Wood, and Ken Giles for Manny Machado. Fair deal?
Brad Johnson
4:17
You done screwed up
Rendon was the best player in that swap
4:18
Machado is capable of making you look smart though
He's the more talented player, but he's having a weird season and his supporting cast isn't nearly as potent
Although, I say that knowing the O's have the top offense over the last month
Tim Beckham going wild...
