That's just an example
Either way, Hoskins plays

Is Marwin Gonzalez an everyday player in 2018? If so, where does he play.....super UT ala Zobrist? And is 2017 repeatable?
Brad Johnson
4:34
This feels like a career year to me
But he doesn't need to play at this level to be a valuable 5 days a week utility guy
4:35
Let's say he's similar next year except with 20 HR/650 PA
CubFan

Who do the O's start at SS in 2018.....Beckham, Hardy, FA?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Beckham

Who are your Top 5 favorite teams to stream pitchers against?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Well, Padres and Mets are the two gimmes
I like to target the Giants at AT&T even though they don't K a lot
4:36
The Brewers when I'm feeling cheeky
So many K's but also very explosive
high risk, high reward
Used to be the Phillies for the last slot, but they've improved
Oakland's pretty mediocre
I also use them as a bargain stack sometimes

Rank these young injury prone NL Arms in a dynasty:

Alex Wood, Jameson Taillon, Luis Castillo, Aaron Nola
Brad Johnson
4:37
Nola, Castillo, Wood, Taillon
Based on literally no inputs but my gut

Parker, Treinen, or Greene for roto saves the rest of the way without totally destroying whip and era? Melancon and Familia available too.
Brad Johnson
4:37
Well, Treinen and Greene actually have the job. I'd bet Parker gets fewer than 1.5 saves ROS

I've got Greg Bird in a 12 team AL only H2H keeper league at $1 but has to be signed to a contract. Is he worth signing $6 for 1 year, $11 for 2 years?
Brad Johnson
4:38
You have to cut him after the one year?
I think I'd take a stab at the $6 and kick myself later

Andrew Miller is fantasy useless now, even in a league where middle relievers are worthwhile, yes? Even if he heals soon CLE is going to keep him in bubble wrap until the playoffs?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Right, cut immediately
4:39
I mean, if your DL slot is open, keep him there
but I never have open DL slots

Is it crazy to drop Cano or Lamb for Tim Beckham? Beckham's been mashing and the other two have been anemic.
Brad Johnson
4:39
Sounds pretty whacko to me

Do we like Snell now? Trust him going into playoffs next week? (He's matched up against MIN)
Brad Johnson
4:40
To simplify, let's just say Blake Snell is a left-handed Michael Wacha
Moltar
4:40
My Segura replacements would be Wong, C Hernandez or Kendrick more than likely.
Brad Johnson
4:40
I think you stick with Segura then

following up on Votto, what makes him age so much better than Miggy or Pujols?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Injuries are always a concern, but also semi-unpredictable. fwiw, I expect Miggy to age fantastically well too as a hitter. I think this will be an outlier
The Tigers need to get him in the DH slot too
I like VMart and all, but it's time to expunge him from the roster
false bottom
4:41
Just when you thought it had hit bedrock, Jose Reyes is starting in left field
