well, trade if the cost isn't painful. Otherwise suffer with an Utley/Lowrie platoon

Matt

2:38

Can I trade Cano, Tulo, J. Zimmerman for Correa and Brock Holt? 6x6 OBP/Slug% league....Jung Ho Kang, Jonathon Villar are my other players that could fill in at MI.

Brad Johnson

2:38

I think Cano will continue to outperform Correa. It'll at least be close

2:39

But yes, you can do that without too much risk for serious regret

2:39

Will Castellanos and Myers finish as top 10 at their positions?

Brad Johnson

2:40

Maybe because 3B is a dumpster fire. And no because 1B has too many good players

Yordano Ventura

2:40

What to expect from me ROS?

Brad Johnson

2:40

8.00 K/9, 4.00 BB/9, 4.00 ERA, occasional gems and meltdowns

Jeet

2:40

Random but are you on Rock Time haha. You seem to wake up the earliest among all FG writers coz you answer early when I tweet @ you

Brad Johnson

2:41

I had to look this up

I get up at 6 or 6:30 every day. Most of my colleagues submit the day before they post

The SSs

2:42

Wait. Story and Suarez over Albies, Acria, Crawford and Trea Turner?

Brad Johnson

2:42

Arcia and Albies could factor in down the road, but they aren't close for now

he did ask top 3

they aren't top 3 candidates

2:43

Story could hit .220/.285 and still have top 3 value with 35 HR/15 SB

Brandon Drury

2:43

Am I worth owning?

Brad Johnson

2:43

Sure. In a modestly deep league

you're a speculative add for now

Steve

2:44

Wow - You're higher on Story than most. What puts him in that company?

Brad Johnson

2:44

To reiterate - 35 HR and 15 SB does a lot for you at the SS position

Horn Please ThankYou

2:44

Something about Scott Kazmir's wrist and Ross Stripling's general presence screams Urias is incoming sooner than later

Brad Johnson

2:44

Maybe for 6-10 starts

Gavin

2:44

It's time now to try and deal Rendon for Odor (or similar), isn't it?

Brad Johnson

2:44

I'm actually buying Rendon. The batted ball peripherals look mostly fine

Matt

2:45

Are you buying Jonathon Villar OBP? Been a great middle infield OBP-league fantasy option so far with those steals...

Brad Johnson

2:45

Not exactly

He has something like a .370 OBP

he's projected around .310

2:46

I think the middle ground - .330 to .350 is a fair expectation

Duane

2:46

Who out of this group do you see any upside ROS? Av Garcia, Oswaldo Arcia,De Jennings, A Hicks.

Brad Johnson

2:46

Ugh. You picked three guys I like less than anybody else and Hicks

so let's say Hicks

power batters

2:46

Pederson or Kang ROS?

Brad Johnson

2:47

Pederson. Ask me again in a month though

George A

2:47

Looking for upside sleeper prospects (if there is such a thing) at SP on the waiver wire. Just grabbed Lucas Sims? Absurd K rate. Any thoughts on him?

Brad Johnson

2:47

I don't have a good scouting report on him

My impression so far is meh with upside

Pomeranz

2:47

better long term keeper, Blair of Foltynewicz

Brad Johnson

2:47

Connecting…
