I love your advanced stats in your personal league.

Brad Johnson

4:12

The site we use calculates seca too, although I think it's wrong

4:13

This was in reference to some personal performance stats I posted yesterday. Like an asshole. But if you're curious, here they are - http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-daily-grind-pointless-proof-in-a-...

4:14

I'm still answering questions from 4:01... it's like it's April

Don

4:14

Didi or Simmons ROS?

Brad Johnson

4:14

Simmons

I can't figure out why Didi isn't terrible

I mean, I think the answer is Yankee Stadium

Terry

4:14

What's Xander's value like next year in this SS landscape?

Brad Johnson

4:14

Thankfully, we get a full offseason to debate this. Because I have no idea

4:15

My instinct is to view 2016 as the outlier

making him a sort of Elvis Andrus-quality SS

Ozzy

4:15

Good afternoon Brad. DFS Topics fair game?

Brad Johnson

4:15

Sure.

Evan

4:16

Start Tomlin week 1 of H2H playoffs vs @CWS, BAL?

Brad Johnson

4:16

That's risky. Let's see what he does tomorrow first.

Any chance of September call ups for Robles or Acuna? When do they become permanent fixtures in the Bigs?

Brad Johnson

4:16

Acuna doesn't need to be on the 40-man so it seems very unlikely

I think he's a mid-'18 call up

4:17

I don't have a read on Robles, but he's only just reached Double-A.

Probably a full season before he's on a MLB roster

Isaac

4:17

Would you start Robbie Ray vs LAD in a critical H2H playoff week?

Brad Johnson

4:17

Yes

Not Mike Matheny

4:17

Tommy Pham or Dexter Fowler ROS?

Brad Johnson

4:17

Still Fowler :)

They're making it interesting too

Petr

4:18

What player had the best season with the lowest JUSTIFIABLE ownership rate (because they don't accrue any of the key counting stats)?

Brad Johnson

4:18

Lemme make a list

4:19

Shin-Soo Choo?

4:20

27% owned, quality 5 cat performance but no standout category

Matt Joyce is 4% owned and 153 ranked in my OPS league

4:21

Lucas Duda has been widely ignored. 25 empty HR

Cesar Hernandez is a nice leadoff guy who's only just now actually getting support from the guys behind him

there are others. Let's move on

4:22

Podhorzer was skeptical that Corbin would be able to continue leaning on his slider so much. Does his recent stretch of dominance seem sustainable ROS and next year?

Brad Johnson

4:22

Not to me

But I have trouble reading Corbin. I couldn't figure out why he sucked and now I don't understand why it's stopped

The slider doesn't smell like it fully answers the question

neil

4:22

How should I value Urias in dynasty? Gone from untouchable to ____?

Brad Johnson

4:22

Pitchers are never untouchable

Connecting…
