Trumbo could still pull one of those 15 HR months
Adam

Would you be starting Roark (@ HOU) and/or Taillon (home to LAD) tonight, if you needed W and K but were walking a tightrope with ratios? (NL-Only roto - I have Corbin @NYM tonight too, so that may temper any meltdowns by either of the other 2)
Brad Johnson
4:23
Get out the antacids...
I guess it really comes down to what you need more - the W/K or defending existing ratio leads
4:24
When I'm presented with a situation like this, I usually tell myself to trust the players
I don't often roster guys I think are untalented
Groot
4:24
Is it safe to assume Dahl won't have a meaningful impact ROS? What are your thoughts longer-term in a dynasty/keeper?
Brad Johnson
4:24
I believe so. He's a great post-hype buy
Although I think we should temper expectations
He was viewed as a 5 category star
4:25
but with HR going crazy and him aging another year, I'm not as impressed by the power
May be looking at 10 or fewer SB
Frenchy

Is it recency bias to say that Hoskins has jumped over Chris Taylor and Rodon over Glasnow/Honeywell in OBP keeper?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Chris Taylor is confusing
4:26
I don't know what to do with him. I'll hold until somebody offers way too much
But I fully expect to find myself cutting him middle of next season
That said, I think Hoskins is bigger than any iteration of Taylor
4:27
As for the Rodon part, they're all high risk, high reward types
By virtue of pitching well in the MLB right now, Rodon should be preferred
Cole
4:27
Is Maikel Franco worth holding onto in a dynasty format?
Brad Johnson
4:27
I've been debating if the Phillies should hold him in their dynasty format
i.e. real life
4:28
My position is yes, provisionally
It's all about opportunity cost. What don't you get to keep if you hang onto Franco?
KJ
4:28
Need to dump an NA to make room, 20 team dynasty: Sam Travis, Schimpf, Hunter Dozier, or Banda?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Schimpf
He's old folk
John
4:28
Keep Rhys Hoskins for next year? He's eligible in OF in Yahoo
Brad Johnson
4:29
No brainer unless it's a really shallow format
Soup Dawg
4:29
Is it worth hanging on to Rosenthal until there's conclusive news?  Not much available- Robertson, Oh, Treinen, Dyson, Norris and Vizcaino- points league so holds help.
Brad Johnson
4:29
As long as it isn't costing you much
a few days of a shelved reliever doesn't usually affect things

What are your thoughts on keeper Greg Bird for non-keeper Verlander?
Brad Johnson
4:29
I'll take Verlander please and thanks
4:30
There are 75 power hitting 1B in the league
There are 30 SP worth an expletive
Dire Straits
4:30
Howie Kendrick's been fire. And i like his multi-pos eligibility. Is he worth starting in a 14 team points league with playoff position at stake?  This week i chose him over Pollock.
Brad Johnson
4:30
He's playable in a deep format
Certainly a good guy for the bench
In case you have injuries
