Good afternoon folks. Let's save keeper questions for the offseason and focus on the remainder of the season.

How many points can I realistically make up in the last two weeks of FGPts if my competitor and I both have innings and games to use?
Brad Johnson
4:00
A superb week is something like 1,200 points - 700 for hitters and 500 for pitchers
4:01
A bad week is around 250 points (lots of negatives). So perfect coincidence gives you a 950 point upside. More realistically, probably about 300 points per week if almost everything breaks your way
League Champ??
4:01
Start McHugh/Marquez today? Junis/Chatwood tomorrow? 14tm H2h categories
Brad Johnson
4:02
Yes, pending need.
They're playable, but if you don't need them, then don't risk your ratios

Do you trust Mike Leake today versus TEX?
Brad Johnson
4:02
Everyone asks if I "trust" somebody
Pitchers are NOT trustworthy in today's game
not even Clayton Kershaw
4:03
maybe Corey Kluber
anyway, trust isn't the issue
if you need categories that Leake can contribute to, then use him
if you don't need anything, then don't use him
easy peesy

Thanks for chatting Brad.  You like Tyler Chatwood at San Fran tomorrow?
Brad Johnson
4:03
I very much do. I'm a Tyler Chatwood truther. Can't wait to see what he signs for in FA

Need a 7th starter for this week: T Williams vs MIL tonight, Wacha @ PIT Fri, Manaea vs TEX Sat, E Santana @ DET Sat or Stroman vs NYY Sun
Brad Johnson
4:04
You have 3 really strong options there - Wacha, Erv, and Stroman. I'd probably do one of the latter two.
Because everybody is at risk of getting bumped with no warning, I'd probably play it safe and take Erv on Saturday. That way you can audible to Stroman if needed

4:05
Who'll provide a better source of steals ROS? M. Taylor, D. DeShields, J. Reyes, or J. Peraza?
Brad Johnson
4:05
DeShields
if you only care about the one category
Reyes is probably the most useful in a vacuum
Isaac
4:05
Brad, are you starting Paxton this week against the Rangers?
Brad Johnson
4:05
I sat him in my 20 team dynasty (using Buck Farmer and Brent Suter over him)
4:06
So i guess that's a no
Mark
4:06
Need some middle infield help, im in the finals and I have Odor, Calhoun (Willie), and a resting Jose Ramirez. Who can I pick up at 2nd base for some steals and average? (10 team H2H)
Brad Johnson
4:06
Cesar Hernandez is the best fit
I assume he's available in a 10 teamer
4:07
ian Kinsler could work
Yolmer Sanchez is neither of those is available. Although you might be better off taking a non-SB 2B and finding the swipes in the OF
SV/H
4:07
If I were to pick up one RP for a SV/H league, who should it be? Bryan Shaw, Mike Minor, Tommy Hunter, or Ryan Madson?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Minor or Hunter
Ron Stamos
4:07
In a 6x6 with W, ERA, WHIP, SV, K/BB, K/9...should I start Clevinger tonight @ LAA?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Sure
toki
4:08
Is Mike Minor worth rostering now that he's being used as a reliever?
Brad Johnson
4:08
He's a good RP. Might even get some saves.
El Duderudo

I need Quality Starts while watching my ERA and WHIP...would you start Giolito in Houston today (I lean towards "no")? I like him over the weekend against KC, however.
