Howdy folks. Let's get started, shall we?

With Darvish and Salazar (didn’t see that until 10 mins ago) on my DL along with RPs A. Miller and Rosenthal, how do I hit my innings limit without overpaying in a trade? (currently on the wire: Trevor Williams, Urena, Vargas, Bridwell, Richard)
Brad Johnson
4:01
Well, yea, you'll have to stream. You'll probably be moving on from Miller and Rosenthal, but try to wait for a little clarity on their issues

What tier of OF do you see Nomar Mazara settling into for 2018 and 2019? Trying to decide whether to keep him
Brad Johnson
4:02
It's not really a matter of tier, it's a decision on whether or not to roll the dice
He's a candidate to break out in a massive way
4:03
If you spike that, then any price you paid will have been worth it. And if you just want to bet on similar production to the last calendar year, then you'll never win him

Bradley Zimmer... could I do better?  Worth holding onto ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:03
For redraft, I think you have to consider moving on
I love the 5 category potential, but he's been slow to adjust
4:04
It's a critical time of year to be playing a dud
That said, if he shakes the slump, you'll be very sad to have moved on

Every time there is a hot streak for Byron Buxton I feel like people get overexcited. I see that he has a positive trend in exit velocity and better plate discipline over the past couple months. Should I actually be excited about having him in otto fgpts or is this a time to take advantage and trade him?
Brad Johnson
4:05
I've gotten a few shares recently for the purpose of future trading. He's still a well-liked name, but I'm unconvinced he'll ever be consistent. However, he isn't very far from being a Keon Broxton. That has value over a full season

Talk to me about Chad Kuhl, please
Brad Johnson
4:06
Throws hard (95-96mph) and has a solid repertoire. Command is just OK. Everything is in place for a big breakthrough, but those don't always come.
4:07
The profile reminds me of vintage Edwin Jackson
He never figured it out, but that doesn't mean Kuhl won't.

Why do you hate America?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Presumably this is related to a tweet from earlier. To be clear, I very much like America. I very much think the national anthem is an outdated sack of poo. These views are my own and in no way sanctioned by this website.
Moving on...

Is Eddie Rosario just hot or is there anything in his profile to suggest he's truly breaking out?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Pretty sure he's just hot
I looked a couple day back and didn't see any of the usual indicators for meaningful change
4:09
I'm finding I'm rather sleepy. I need to cook some caffeine. One moment please

Start both Shark (home v. Brewers) and Morton (home v. Nats) in H2H tonight?

Do you see Oh holding the closer job in STL for the rest of the season?
Brad Johnson
4:10
I think so. He's pitching well enough.
Although he's likely to be on a short leash
another bad dynasty manager

Hi Brad: 16 team pts. league. Second week of playoff matchup. Need to drop one start so I can start four on Sun.  J. Garcia@Det, Skaggs @Hous, Pruitt@Toronto, Gsellman @ Wash.  Greinke and Nola are automatic.  Thanks.
Brad Johnson
4:11
Would love to not use any of those :)
I think I'd dodge the Skaggs start

Better stash for 2018, Mike Kopech or Alex Reyes?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Gimme Reyes
Ham Porter
4:11
In a league where Ks are overvalued, who do you keep out of these four; Giolito, Conley, H. Bailey, Urena
Brad Johnson
4:11
I have to keep one?
4:12
If it's keep forever, I'd go Giolito and hope the light eventually turns on
Otherwise, Urena?
Rasta

Does Deshields get on base enough to matter in a shallow 12 teamer?
