What is a reasonable expectation for G Richards' two-start week?
Brad Johnson
4:42
8.2 IP? Decent ratios
I'd say good ratios, but he has to face the Astros
Willie hears ya Willie dont care

i dropped devenski weeks ago for a stream, was that dumb?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Nah, that's fine
Porcho Villa

Any hope for Starling Marte to pick it up this month? He's been a shell of his former self post-suspension.
Brad Johnson
4:42
Hope away. I don't see any indicators trending that way aside from his long history of being a good player
I've always been worried he might collapse

Delino is the everyday Texas CF now with Carlos Gomez out, FYI
Brad Johnson
4:43
Yea, sort of. He'll still sit a couple times per week as they shuffle the lineup around
Choo can fake it out there
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

In a vacuum, I think that your fantasy advice comes off as slightly worse than better. But this kidney bean vs. black bean debate makes me question your logic more than when you made that ridiculous trade and said that Joey Votto was a bigger injury risk than Albert Pujols.

I think you're sticking on the wrong portion of that analysis
More importantly, black beans are empirically the best beans. It's science.

Is Lance Lynn a top 100 player again next year?  xFIP suggests regression.
Brad Johnson
4:45
I wouldn't count on it
He's had a weird year

Would you drop Salazar in a 10 team keeper league (keep 12)? I'm in the playoffs and not sure if he is worth rostering down the stretch?
Brad Johnson
4:46
In a 10 team, I'd chase money over keepers. It's a shallow format - you can always find more
And Salazar probably isn't a top 120 player going into 2018
Zach

Thoughts on Dillon Peters? Seems like a lot of Fangraphs writers really like him
Brad Johnson
4:47
I'm not convinced he can keep up anything like his current whiff rate (2 GS)
I think he's probably a 7.50 K/9, 3.00 BB/9 guy with an uncertain GB rate
4:48
he might be like Godley, there's a chance
a left-handed version too
I like that he's thrown fewer than 50% fastballs
That's going to be one of the new smell tests for instant pitcher success
4:49
do they throw more offspeed stuff than fastballs

Was Planning on Jimmy Nelson as a low cost keeper ($10 ($5 +5inflation each year)).....  Does the injury worry you or still worth keeping at that low cost.. (10 keepers $300 budget)
Brad Johnson
4:49
I'd probably move on unless we hear something positive before keep day
4:50
It's a pretty serious shoulder injury
Even a clean recovery could take 2 years before he's back to this level
and there are a ton of pitfalls along the way that could completely ruin his career
Porcho Villa

You buying Matt Chapman? He's on a tear but the contact % is scary
Brad Johnson
4:51
I like Chapman as a better Matt Davidson

What does Alex Wood do next year?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Better question, does Alex Wood throw 94 or 92 mph next year
That will decide whether he's an ace or a guy

What pick will Starling Marte be in redrafts next year? In or out of top 75?
