Conley, Eickhoff, Pineda or Conley in a redraft?

Brad Johnson

2:20

One of the Conley's?

In all seriousness, you could flip a coin. They all have upside and warts.

Dale

2:20

Does Matt Carpenter turn it around? Or should I look to dealer him?

Brad Johnson

2:21

I think so. He's just a little too pull happy at present

Tony

2:21

While Price's FIp, XFip all look good, should I still pay ADP value for him or not run the risk?

Brad Johnson

2:21

If you need to add an ace, you have to pay ADP value. If you don't need an ace, then don't pay for him at all

Cubbies

2:22

What the h do I do with Felix? And is there any way his whip/era are sustainable with these BB numbers?

Brad Johnson

2:22

Same thing as with Keuchel. Add a solid second player and trade for a performing ace

Chris

2:22

10 team, mixed league - 4 keepers at +1 round penalty:
Someone just traded Price for Conforto (23rd round keeper next year)

Is this as bad as I think it is (Price owner is in last place, Conforto owner in first)?

Brad Johnson

2:23

Seems reasonable to me. People like Conforto a lot more than I think is reasonable, so I'm not even sure which side you think is favorable here :)

Pie

2:23

Just flipped Story and Odorizzi for Chris Davis. Did I do good?

Brad Johnson

2:23

Awesome in a redraft

less good in a keeper

but acceptable still

Matt

2:23

Wainwright seems to have limited his walks in the last 2 starts. He was still touched up a bit last night, but it seems like progress is...progressing. Can he return to a mid-rotation fantasy pitcher this year?

Brad Johnson

2:23

I think that's the key. Look for him to be a spot guy like Justin Verlander

2:24

somebody who can go deep into a game and control it from time to time

but you'll also avoid his starts against good teams

those types of pitchers are very hard to roster in 12 team mixed. Wasted roster spot.

and it hurts when you guess wrong

Pomeranz

2:24

in NL only is Finnegan and Cashner too much to give for Matz?

Brad Johnson

2:24

Not at all.

Do it quickly

Jeet

2:25

Sorry. This is my second Tulo question. I have Desmond as my other SS. Should I look to trade him? What should I be realistically looking for in return in a dynasty (kind of going for it and rebuilding at the same time)

Brad Johnson

2:25

You've missed your chance to trade peak Tulo. He's not coming back. Maybe Story or Diaz's owner is looking to sell high?

mario mendoza

2:25

Better stash: Daniel Norris, Skaggs, Cobb, Heaney, or Hutch. AL Keeper but win-now

Brad Johnson

2:25

Cobb

you'll be happy next year

twins

2:25

now with trevor plouffe returning to the Twins, Eduardo Nunez is a drop? or sell?

Brad Johnson

2:26

Drop in most leagues. Not too many people are dopey enough to trade for Eduardo Nunez

Dan

2:26

Who would you drop in a 10 team roto? Gordon C. Gomez or Dickerson?

Brad Johnson

2:26

If I have to drop one, Gomez

or both

it's 10 team. Bet you have a top 50 player sitting on the wire

Padilla Eephus

2:26

Catcher is an absolute disaster. Should we expect any relief from catching prospects Mike Zunino, Wilson Contreras, or Gary Sanchez? Should we expect anything or just continue accepting that catcher is a disaster?

Brad Johnson

2:27

Acceptance is a vital part of grieving, I'm told

Better pitcher ROS

2:27

Corbin or Roark

Brad Johnson

2:27

Corbin

Greg

2:28

7x7 lg (TB,BB / K/BB,HRA) - Dealing Bautista, Hamells, Zobrist for Kluber, Tanaka and Kyle Seager...currently last in ERA, WHIP, K...gotta do it, no?
