Probably see him overdrafted in the 2nd round. Somewhere around picks 20 to 25
I'm not good at setting ADPs in September as my own strategies/tactics tend to diverge from industry norms
4:12
I'd never pay that early a pick for a catcher
B
4:12
There's no way Chris Sale makes his scheduled start on Sunday against Houston right?
Brad Johnson
4:12
Well, there are starts and there are starts
I'd bet on a little 40 pitch tune up outing
A. Reitz
4:12
If you're KCR...why not play J. Soler and R. Mondesi Jr. down the stretch to see what they've got? Neither one has made much of an appearance since rosters expanded and they were called up.
Brad Johnson
4:13
They probably didn't want to hit the eject button until they were drawing dead. I think we'll see more of them this week.
Slamboni
4:13
Need to start 2 of these this week: Lamet  @ LAD, Straily vs ATL, Manaea @ TEX, Wacha vs CHC, which two should I go with?
Brad Johnson
4:13
I'd definitely do Straily
Lamet if you need Ks. Maybe Wacha for the Ws
Equifax
4:13
Think Brad Hand and Mike Minor are more 8th inning guys or have a decent shot at grabbing Saves in 2018?
Brad Johnson
4:13
If Hand stays in SD, he'll close
4:14
Minor may have a tougher path to saves
decent speculative guy if you don't have to decide on a keep until much later in the offseason
Larry Biggersby
4:14
One start left. Is it: Tomlin vs. CWS, Stroman @ NYY, Morton @ BOS? Don't need K's but like W's (and ratios, naturally). Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:14
I'd lean Stroman or Morton.
4:15
I don't have strong feelings about those options, they're all solid mid-tier plays
Bend it like Beckham
4:15
How long can we keep waiting for Chris Archers "breakout"?
Brad Johnson
4:15
He had a fine season
I don't see any need for a breakout - 11.16 K/9, 4.18 ERA, and 1.27 WHIP are all positives this year
Blame the Rays for his win total
Marlin Man
4:16
Is this the real M. Ozuna (still only 26) or is this likely the best case scenario season for him?
Brad Johnson
4:16
I think this is going to be considered his best season from a raw output perspective
I'd love to see him traded somewhere with a complete roster
B
4:16
Is Andrelton Simmons a top 10 SS next season?
Brad Johnson
4:16
Yea, and we're all going to be very nervous about it
Adam
4:17
Thoughts on Lucas Sims after what seemed like a pretty good outing against NYM's half-lineup of starters in game 1 of yesterday's DH?  Trustable at Miami on Saturday, with the possibility Marlins will rest regulars?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Uh, I'd steer clear of Sims despite handling a Triple-A roster
Harrison
4:17
Is lamet actually a good pitcher?
Brad Johnson
4:17
I, uh, well...
Honestly, I'm still convinced he's a very good reliever
The command just isn't there
4:18
And the repertoire isn't such that it makes sense to hope the command perks up a grade
As a starter, he's probably Brad Peacock-ish. Max effort 5 innings, 10 K guy
Ugly ratios
Sandy Ravage

In your opinion, should there be a trade deadline in a dynasty where everyone is involved? Yeah it's fun, but in a league that continues year over year, collusion is pretty clear when you see it? Plus if someone wants to give up a premium prospect for one week of a meh player with a great match up, LET HIM!
Brad Johnson
4:19
I go back and forth on this
There's something to be said about focusing on managing your roster down the stretch rather than spending endless hours spoiling your rivals' attempts to complete trades
4:20
As somebody with too many all-year leagues, I appreciate the time saved.
