His profile looks a lot better for 3 years ago

Do I dare start Archer tonight? What about Gausman?
Brad Johnson
4:44
I'm using him in DFS
I assume, I haven't set lineups yet :)
Rockies
4:44
Is there anywhere which shows which teams have allowed the most QS? League switching from W to QS....
Brad Johnson
4:45
I'm sure there is, but it's not something I pay attention to. Try B-Ref

Going for my third win in a row in my 16-teamer - thanks for your help this season, Brad
Brad Johnson
4:45
good luck!
Phil Baharnd
4:45
what's altherr's ceiling?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Well... I think he's pretty maxed out, but that doesn't stop a guy from making an adjustment and unlocking a new level
4:46
He's a 20 to 30 HR guy who shouldn't actually attempt SB against semi-competent catchers
Phil Baharnd
4:46
Betts, Turner, Lindor - you get two for the next ten years
Brad Johnson
4:46
Oh god
4:47
Betts is ~25, Turner 24, Lindor ~24
The chat apparently doesn't support tildas
Betts is nearly 25, Lindor nearly 24
I think I go Lindor and Turner
4:48
Which is bizarre because I'm still drafting Betts before them in redraft
Phil Baharnd

when does ozuna become an mvp contender?
Brad Johnson
4:48
I don't see that as a possible outcome in today's league
He hit his ceiling this year
4:49
That said, it doesn't hurt if you score 100 R and drive home 150
get him the proper lineup support and he could do it
i.e. send him to Colorado next year to bat after Blackmon and Arenado

Is there any reason to trust Johnny Cueto over his last few starts? Seems to be getting a few more whiffs now than before his latest injury. Seems like maybe the blister healing could have helped...
Brad Johnson
4:49
Again, I hate this trust concept
4:50
I don't trust Cueto to do anything
but for DFS purposes, I love how far his price has fallen
and for traditional fantasy, I don't think we should expect worse than league average numbers
Granted, that's worse than a QS
Slapshot

How would you rate the back end of the Diamondbacks rotation (Walker, Corbin, Godley) for the rest of the year for fantasy purposes, and where would you draw the line between must start and spot start with them?
Brad Johnson
4:51
Godley isn't a back end starter
Always use him
He's a top 25 arm
Walker and Corbin are the kind of guys who give indigestion with every start but somehow finish with fine numbers
4:52
that's stressful for a H2H matchup, but I think you just use 'em and hope for the best
Joe's Mom

Did you believe in Fister prior to 2 starts ago?  If so, do you still?
Brad Johnson
4:52
I've been back and forth on him. His velo is up a little which is nice
he was good the last time he threw this hard
which is still sub-90mph
Connecting…
