Playoff time. Wins and Ks reign supreme. Best speculative add of these starters? J. Thompson, Lugo, B. Anderson?
Brad Johnson
4:12
uh, Anderson. Woof
That's an ugly list
Gary Bertier
4:13
Start Peters today?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Very dependent on your needs. It's a risky play but the upside is solid
4:14
Sorry had to take a moment to interject in a chili debate on baseball twitter
4:15
Your Chili has...
no beans (14.8% | 4 votes)
 
black beans (22.2% | 6 votes)
 
kidney beans (63% | 17 votes)

There is a correct answer
Jonathan

Ian Happ or Ozzie Albies for a keeper at 2B next year?
Brad Johnson
4:15
Happ, easy
4:16
Albies is more of a real world guy
Gary Bertier
4:16
Castillo or Godley in 2018?
Brad Johnson
4:16
Well, I'm very confident in Godley
but Castillo has actual top 10 SP upside, Godley's more of a consistently solid arm

Should I pitch Gibson tonight
Brad Johnson
4:17
I think probably yes. He's been good and the Padres are not
Kid

I've been struggling with SS this whole season - can you recommend a guy off the wire who can fill a void this week? Escobar, Reyes, Barney, K.Marte, E. Escobar (its a deep league)
Brad Johnson
4:17
Reyes is the pick
EK
4:17
Do you like Michael A Taylor over DeShields? Taylor's home #s are great this season
Brad Johnson
4:17
Kind of a push, Taylor's a little more likely to play on a given day
4:18
DeShields is a better player

Drop Pollock for Haniger in a OPS league? Guy has been white hot.
Brad Johnson
4:18
Certainly seems like Haniger needs to be rostered. Can't confirm Pollock is the right cut
4:19
Also, the hell is wrong with all of you. Kidney beans? Leave now!
The correct answer is tasty, unctuous black beans

Glasnow's walks per game last seven starts: 1,1,1,1,2,2,1. I don't see how that supports your argument that he's had terrible control since changing to pitching from the stretch only.
Brad Johnson
4:20
I don't know what to tell you. Well, I do actually.
4:21
I saw half a dozen 58 foot curves and his catcher reached a foot or more for nearly every pitch he threw
The Bulls hitters were being hyper aggressive, probably because the stuff was so good
They were all trying to hammer a first pitch fastball, after which they usually looked completely overmatched
Taylor

How do you deal with your semi-studs who are cold like moose now that playoffs have started? I could drop him for someone who is hot like reddick or Haniger instead
Brad Johnson
4:22
For someone like Moose, you can move on to a hot hand since the projected difference isn't that much
if you have a cold stud like Justin Smoak, you're kinda stuck
And yes, Smoak is considerably better than Moustakas
A weird statement to be making
Bob Villa
4:22
What's your outlook for Jimmy Nelson next year?
Brad Johnson
4:22
I have no idea
4:23
I cut him in a keeper where I could have had him for $8
Needed the roster spot
Keith Hernandez
4:23
Is Blake Parker done getting save opportunities?  Worth keeping in a 12 team mixed league?
