Matt Olsen take me to the promise land!
Brad Johnson
4:26
He might be fringe top 10. The thing is 1B is looking ridiculously deep
4:27
Fortunately, he (and Hoskins) project to retain their OF status in most formats
exciting news!
Mica

Im concerned about Paxton's velocity drop in his first start off the DL. Can you calm me down or no?
El Duderudo
4:27
That you're not starting Paxson against the Rangers makes me wonder: droppable in a re-draft?
Brad Johnson
4:27
I want to see a good outing. You might as well wait to see what happens before making your decision
Pie

There's a chance I play someone next week in a H2H final whose only pitchers are 7 RP's and Giolito. I have a loaded staff with Kershaw, Sale, Strasburg, and DeGrom among others, should if I play this guy, should I just focus on the best possible matchups and get over the 10 IP minimum, or just play my normal starts and not worry about my opposition?
Brad Johnson
4:28
Don't get in your own head. Start the week out normally and adjust as needed. You're guaranteed 2 of 5 categories. Lock those down then worry about ERA/WHIP

Hey Brad, should I pick up Fowler, Ellsbury, or DeShields this week? OBP & SB needed.
Brad Johnson
4:29
Fowler can't stay in the damned lineup. Thinking DeShields might be best if you NEED SB
Evan
4:29
Brad, you're much better at this than Sporer. He dropped the ball these last few weeks (short or cancelled chats) in this critical fantasy time. Thank you for all your help!
Brad Johnson
4:29
To be fair, I AWOL'ed for three or so in May
RMR

Story seems to be trying to rally the last week or two, but is he even going to be given the SS job full-time again next year?  Will there be some competition there or will they just stick with him at least until Rodgers is ready?
Brad Johnson
4:30
I think he'll basically start until Rodgers is around. Desmond may be given a chance to compete during the spring, but that shouldn't be hard for Story to beat
For all the crap he's gotten, Story has been a top 150 player
Not what we bought in round 4-5, but it's not like he's completely disappeared like Villar or Miggy
Just Me

Best guess on Marlins closer next year..Claw, Ziegler, Steckenrider, someone else?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Ziegler
Patty V

Is Trea Turner going to stop running now that the Nats have locked up the East?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Probably
Stan

Hi Brad, I would like to know please, what are 2 daily baseball stats that will Help a person's Daily fantasy skills and chances? thanks
Brad Johnson
4:32
Pay attention to park factors and handedness platoons
Do note, platoons tend to be overstated
The advantage usually isn't as large as it may appear - lots of bias in the samples
4:33
For example, there are an inordinate number of LHP who can't throw to RHP. So a lot of apparent mashers are just taking advantage of those high value PA
Ricochet
4:33
What do you think the Red Sox should do with Brock Holt?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Non-tender him? Assuming they re-sign Nunez
Just Me
4:33
Is Will Myers good at baseball?
Brad Johnson
4:34
Yes, very much so
but it turns out that MLB has 25+ good 1B
Nail Biter
4:34
If opponent laid eggs early (Kershaw + Bundy) do you like to resist streaming guys or does it give you more power to do so?
Brad Johnson
4:34
Can cut both ways depending on your roster makeup and the actual stats involved
CubFan
4:34
Which of Austin Hays, Teoscar Hernandez or Willie Calhoun start out in the majors in 2018.....and how do you think they'll do?
Brad Johnson
4:34
All 3?
4:35
Hays and Calhoun are much hypier than Hernandez
I think Hernandez is a good backup OFer
Calhoun is the best of the bunch for fantasy purposes
Rocket Man
4:35
I was floated a Lindor for Correa trade offer before the deadline.   Did I mess up by declining?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Nah, that's just a deal for the sake of making a deal
