You still want a monster hitter for him
At this point, you're stuck with him in all likelihood
or you're selling low

Starlin Castro a top 100 bat rest of the season?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Nah. Too many good hitters
He's a competent bat ROS
Hannah Hochevar

Fiers didn't make your start or stack this morning. How do you feel about him v Texas?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Usually, that means I see them as not good enough to use and not bad enough to exploit
Maybe one of those crappy 6 IP, 3 R, QS type outings

Choose one for the dynasty long-haul: Walker Buehler or Jack Flaherty.
Brad Johnson
4:25
Buehler is certainly the industry choice
I haven't researched either of them enough to gainsay the industry
4:26
I tend to pay less attention to players I have no chance to own. I had a shot at Flaherty 2 years ago, and I think Buehler's been rostered since he was an amateur (in my main dynasty)

Expect anything from Justin Boar ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:26
Moar Boar!
Uh, not really.
Moltar

Was out of the country for much of august, but had a h2h playoffs spot locked up. Now that I'm back, egads is Segura struggling. He'd probably miss the keeper cut, should I drop him for a short-term upgrade at 2B? In general, should I be aggressive with cutting underperforming non-keepers going in to the playoffs?
Brad Johnson
4:27
You should be aggressive, although I'd have to see your options before sanctioning a Segura cut
chances are, they aren't better
ok, I'm officially 20 minutes in the past, I'm skipping forward. Sorry folks
It is now 4:21
Badger
4:27
Keep one pitcher: Archer, Bumgarner, CMartinez, Paxton?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Whoa
Also, I said no keeper questions!
But those are some nice choices. Seems foolish to say anything other than MadBum though

How many more years does Votto stay relevant as a top 12 fantasy 1B?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Like David Ortiz, until he decides to retire.
And like Ortiz, I bet he's still mashing in his last season

Someone dropped Aroldis Chapman in my (admittedly shallow) league. Would you pick him up or is he broken for the year? Bad ratios and no saves anymore. Would need to drop Jimmy Nelson, Ryu or Danny Salazar.
Brad Johnson
4:30
Could risk dropping Salazar or Ryu in a shallow format
What do you need from Chapman though?
Are you chasing saves or just reacting to an "ooh shiny"
4:31
If you don't need saves or elite ratios, you might as well keep the SP

Posey-less for a week or two.  Thoughts on Chirinos, Barnes, or Ramos?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Barnes has been a top 15 C without starting. I like that. He tends to get soft matchups. Chirinos is fine if you prefer an every day guy
Rick
4:32
Is Rhys Hoskins going to lose playing time with Herrera and Altherr coming back to the OF on Friday? Tommy Joseph is still their #1 guy at 1B (for some reason)
Brad Johnson
4:32
No
Joseph is getting a last chance to do SOMETHING
he is a streaky sort of hitter so there's a chance he earns more playing time in September
4:33
I was talking with Matt Winkleman on twitter today about their rotation for 2018. I bet they try to sell Joseph for a older rental like J.A. Happ
