Hey folks, we'll begin soon.

Hey Brad… Do you see anymore impactful prospects being called up in the near future?
Brad Johnson
1:04
Potentially! We'll certainly see a dozen or two prospects selected in the coming weeks. Whether or not they'll have fantasy impact won't be obvious until retrospect.
The Orioles seemingly have a spot in their lineup for Kjerstad/Mayo/Stowers

I was jolted from my leagues play offs in the first round. There's still two weeks left. Is there any point to my continuing playing for 5th place. I want to play "spoiler" and still pick up players to prevent other teams from succeeding. Is this unethical?
Brad Johnson
1:06
Not at all, assuming you're not just rostering guys without intent to use them/improve your roster.
Never let someone tell you effort is unethical
1:07
And if folks really complain, invite them to propose a constitutional amendment

Who to sit? I have Devers, Seager, Bichette and De La Cruz for a 3B, SS, and Utility spots. Who should I sit and why? Thanks for the chat!
Brad Johnson
1:07
Well that's sure a nice problem to have
It's going to be Elly most days with Bichette also up for elimination.
1:08
However, you should be deciding based on your categories too.
If SBs are where the points are, then you're sitting one of Devers/Seager.
Gwynning

Hey B-Rad!  Keep 3- Logie Allen, Bob Miller, Ryan Pepiot or Eury Perez.
Brad Johnson
1:08
I'm probably cutting Pepiot. Allen is the other option.

JP Craw or JPena r.o.s.? You figure Peña has more upside and I think he finishes strong, but JP has been so consistent game to game.
Brad Johnson
1:09
I think Crawford is flat out better now, but we do need to be mindful about how he looks post-concussion.
See Rizzo, Anthony

5 and 14... with potential to lose out and get the number one pick.  Should I sandbag the season and ensure the #1?  Ethical?
Brad Johnson
1:10
I hate sandbagging personally. It just rankles.
1:11
That's why I advocate for unweighted lotteries to determine draft order. My home dynasty (22 teams) drafts in reverse order of money earned over the last 2 seasons. All the $0s get an equal shot at first pick in the FYPD.
1:12
To answer your question, it's not unethical. It's just a bad rule set imo.
Dude
1:12
the guy has devers, seager, bichette, and de la cruz and he's asking for advice?  he should be running the show....
Rays for days
1:13
Love aranda, but does he get ABs???
Brad Johnson
1:13
I'm not sure tbh. The bat deserves them.

i Was offered Corbin Carroll for Andrew Abbott in a 10 team H2H points league. Should I accept the trade or is it too good to be true?
Brad Johnson
1:13
Mash accept
Keith
1:13
Everton Pereira or Owen Caissie for dynasty league?
Brad Johnson
1:14
Off the top of my head, I... can't decide
Good challenge trade of mashers with questionable hit tools
Fulmer
1:15
Is Fulmer the sneaky save guy for the Cubs behind Alzolay---he cannot possibly pitch every day can he?
Brad Johnson
1:15
I think it's Leiter/Fulmer based on availability. At least one of them usually pitches on Alzolay days.
Bob

Drew Rom is making his Major League debut for the Cardinals. Is he a good streamer to pick up off the waiver wire against the Pirates?
Brad Johnson
1:17
It's hard to judge. Based on his Orioles stats, I'd say no. But he's induced a load of whiffs in 2 starts in the Cards system. Maybe they unlocked something?
They rarely unlock pitchers so it's probably a small sample thing.
1:18
The Pirates are kinda Quad-A these days so the risk isn't TOO high
1:19
Maybe he's only throwing splitters now? I really don't have any special info on Rom.

4 x 4 Roto .. 2 year keeper league .. I just gave up Elly De La Cruz, Justin Steele, and Henry Davis (all keepers for next year at 5 units) for Matt Olson, Hoerner, Will Benson, and Jose Alvarado .. Olson and Hoerner go back in the draft next year, Benson (5) and Alvarado (1) can be kept ..
Did I overpay .. I'm in 1st place 61 points to 59 in 2nd, and we're battling for HR RBI and SB
Btw, it's a NL Only league
