Hey folks, let's get this show on the road

Thoughts on Brantley ROS?  Can he stay healthy?
Brad Johnson
4:01
I don't see any reason to believe he's a greater health risk than any other player
4:02
It's a shame he lost his prime seasons during the peak of the HR surge

Are you as down on Hoskins as Justin is? Think he can rebound or should we be looking to sell while we still can? Is someone like Luis Castillo enough, too much, not enough in a 12 team 10 keepers at no cost, QS h2h category league?
Brad Johnson
4:03
Go ahead and sell at this point. I don't know exactly how down Justin is, but Hoskins does seem to have a major flaw
If he adjusts, you'll look dumb. If he doesn't, then you'll look smart.
I tend to think he can adjust, but it might take awhile
4:04
As for Castillo, definitely not a guy I would target. I'd be aiming for a Corbin or Morton type if you're looking for a pitcher. Maybe even banged up Thor.

Mr Brad! Your chats have been missed across the cosmos!! I long for your fantasy wisdom!! Any hope for Danny Duffy after his start against Texas? Good buy low candidate??
Brad Johnson
4:04
Flattery will buy you a click
4:05
His velocity is trending up, I do think he's a reasonable buy low candidate
assuming the buying is quite low
rpo

Soto for Ohtani (SP) a good sell high?
Brad Johnson
4:05
In redraft, yes
In a shallow keeper, yes
In dynasty, bad deal

Thoughts on playing time and ROS expectations for Nimmo and Meadows?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Nimmo is the best hitter on the Mets, Cespedes included. I'm projecting 95% playing time RoS. The Mets, of course, are not known for tidy management
4:07
Meadows probably drifts back to Triple-A soon
Vader

With the Astros clearly the team to beat, do you think they play Kyle Tucker everyday down the stretch?
Brad Johnson
4:07
I hope not, I'm a Tony Kemp truther. And he's so fantastic (Kemp)
4:09
Truthfully, I don't see any reason for the Astros to prefer Tucker to Kemp at this time. Yea, he has more power, but they're both slightly below league average bats. Kemp is elite in LF. Although his bat is weird for the position, the Astros aren't lacking for firepower elsewhere.

Looking to improve SP - how high should I aim in a trade for a Corbin-Hoskins package?
Brad Johnson
4:10
Start with a big reach for the top tier. You just need the right believer owning a Kluber or Sale.
Big Tuna

What do you make of Gorkys? Worth owning in 12 m OPS
Brad Johnson
4:10
For now, yes.
4:11
I don't think he's broken out or anything. But he is batting leadoff for a non-terrible offense.
I'll say 90 wRC+ RoS
Tim
4:11
Dahl or Jankowski worth holding in 12-team redraft leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:12
Yes, pending a loss of playing time for Jankowski. They're fringy for sure if you have a bigger need.
Jake Junis Priest
4:12
Are you in on Frankie Montas in OAK?
Brad Johnson
4:12
I've been in on Montas so long I kinda forgot about him
4:13
Based purely on the stats, I guess I'm not much of a believer. I'd stash him in deep formats.
Just in case
Looks like a 4.00+ ERA to me

Hi, Brad. Your thoughts on Kingham? I'm considering dropping Sonny for him until Soroka comes back in daily H2H pts.
Brad Johnson
4:13
Kingham is probably a better short term play than Gray
4:14
I'm towards the pessimistic end of the scale when it comes to him, but I still see some merit in rostering him in case the K's hold up
Guest

I'm in a weekly line-up dynasty league. Got Ohtani on a good-not-great contract, and he isis without a doubt more valuable as a pitcher, but I keep getting screwed by them messing with his schedule, and I miss starts. Worth trying to move him for a rental in trying to be a buyer?
