Davis

So, Danny Duffy, eh? When will he start getting credit for what he's done since returning to rotation.

Brad Johnson

2:44

has he been secretly good?

5 starts, 3.60 ERA, 5 IP per start, 10.08 K/9

When the walk rate regresses to normal, he'll look even worse

Drew

2:44

Arenado or Bryant in keeper league?

Brad Johnson

2:44

Arenado

You're such a Posey

2:45

Posey has been pretty quiet this season. Any concerns?

Brad Johnson

2:45

He was quiet for half of last year too

not worried

I'll take a 108 wRC+ from an "underperforming" catcher

then again, I never pay early round rates for Posey

I trade for him later

Dale

2:46

In need of a power bat that can also generate some steals. Any good buy-low candidates, or anyone you see maintaining their pace?

Brad Johnson

2:46

we're winding down, I'm going to take a moment to research this

Oh, I know

free guy - Robbie Grossman

Keep an eye on the K rate. As long it's sub 22% (ish), he's an everyday starter with 15+ HR power and 10+ SB speed

Scooter

2:47

In a vacuum, Polanco = what range of starting pitcher in a trade. Scherzer? Cueto? Carrasco?

Brad Johnson

2:47

Anybody besides Kershaw

might need a small throw-in for Arrieta

rest should be 1-for-1

Alex

2:47

Still think Pomeranz is still a reliever type? Looks pretty elite so far, obviously overperforming but his 2.99 FIP is still solid

Brad Johnson

2:48

My dynasty co-owner says I over-fixate on repertoire

I think it's a feature

these no repertoire guys never last

but he is doing Rich Hill things and it seems like the league doesn't hit that anymore
