wRC is just a total though. We usually refer to wRC+ which tells us how a player compares to average
100 is average, 90 is 10 percent below average, 110 is 10 percent above average, etc.

ROS - with an emphasis on WHIP/ERA, who do you like: Davies, Marquez, Snell or Lamet?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Davies or (cringe) Lamet
AR
4:52
What to make of Cargo ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:53
For the thousand people asking this question, I don't know. And I'm sorry you have to deal with it
I didn't pick Cargo anywhere so he's not my problem
I literally have no insight. I assume he's played the whole season hurt

Amed Rosario over Xander ROS? These two guys are KILLING me!
Brad Johnson
4:53
No
Xander all the way
Oddball Herrera
4:54
Think Piscotty can turn it around this season?  Think he gets enough PA for it to matter?
Nate
4:54
Any sleeper bats or arms with low ownership currently that you envision making a sizable impact down the stretch run?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Piscotty could be one of those sleeper bats. How low ownership do you need?
Matt Joyce is ok at 3% owned
Ben Revere is predictably stealing bases
4:55
The Rangers claim to really like Drew Robinson. Might give him a chance with Gomez out
though that's a very short window
Lucas Duda's 11%
Wilmer Flores is 6% and getting cleanup reps
Taylor
4:55
Hoskins bell or granderson
Brad Johnson
4:55
Hoskins
any time period
Tyler
4:55
Long term who do you think has more upside out of Alex Wood/Aaron Nola/James Paxton?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Nola
4:56
That's an interesting basket though
All have an injury cloud hanging over them
Paxton is the most talented today, Wood was just as good as recently as June
Poll idea
4:56
NL fantasy MVP: scherzer, goldy, Blackmon, Kershaw, Harper, other?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Blackmon for me
That team is sub-.500 without him
and team performance matters when it comes to Most Valuable
Anybody who says otherwise failed out of english
4:58
That's not to say an elite player on a bad team shouldn't even win. But when a player is superb and carrying his team, he deserves the nod
Pat

Hey Brad, do you see Greg Bird making an impact rest of season for my fantasy team?
Brad Johnson
4:58
NO
ha, that's supposed to be a normal no
Ron
4:58
Which outfielder would you pick up for ROS and next season: Eddie Rosario, Manuel Margot or Chris Taylor?
Brad Johnson
4:58
How the balls is Chris Taylor a free agent?
4:59
He's a top 30 player...
