Here's the thing, the ceiling is massive. To get there, he needs a breakthrough or two. Could be a frustrating guy or a future stud
I usually believe in selling this profile in most fantasy formats
2:09
Maybe ask for a stud non-keeper and a modest keeper like Thornburg
Oliver

Have Britton Betances and Watson in 2 RP weekly league. Roll with all three or look to deal? Related, very few trades actually happen
Brad Johnson
2:09
Trade if you can, can't really mix and match this in any way
Cameron

Hey Brad, what are your thoughts on Luis Severino for the rest of this season and if he performs well as a potential keeper? He definitely struggled early on but is still only 22 and has some electric stuff.
Brad Johnson
2:10
I love his stuff
The narrative is similar to Giolito
2:11
he has to continue to improve to reach his ace ceiling, could turn into a frustrating guy instead
ok, I'm still working on the first 4 minutes of comments, so I'm going to skip forward to present
Tax Man

Is Matt Boyd rosterable in an 11-team AL-onlly?
Brad Johnson
2:12
Yes, there's back of rotation upside
and the Tigers could supply the run support for a win streak
Batman
2:12
Salazar or Cole 2017+
Brad Johnson
2:12
Salazar if he comes out of this injury healthy
Chopper Dave
2:12
Thoughts on Bundy? SSS and all, and the name on the jersey may bias opinions, but he has looked pretty good lately.
Brad Johnson
2:13
Yea I had serious doubts, but it really looks like he's improving
I'm late to join, but I'm on the bandwagon
Macho
2:13
What are your thoughts on keeping non-elite pitchers? I was burned this year keeping Sonny Gray, Garrett Richards and Trevor Rosenthal. Should I use all 10 keeper spots on position players and just draft pitchers?
Brad Johnson
2:14
That's my take. Protect an ace if you have him. Otherwise lock down most reliable numbers
Doe
2:14
Does Jeffress take over if Dyson falters?
Brad Johnson
2:14
Yep. Keone Kela is healthy again too
Yulieski's Squirriel
2:14
Between his age and the description of his contact/discipline/bat skills, I am holding out that we get a non-30 HR version of Matt Carpenter out of Gurriel. Is that too optimistic?
Brad Johnson
2:15
Not really what I'm looking for, but the upside could match that production. Remember, upside is well above the median projection by definition
Frida
2:15
Can Matt Duffy be a sneaky source of value in AL-onlies playing for Tampa?
Brad Johnson
2:15
He'll gain interesting eligibilities if nothing else
Needs to get the contact skills back online
Jorge Polanco
2:16
I'm the truth.
Brad Johnson
2:16
I've been waiting for the Twins to actually play Polanco for a thousand years
2:17
love the contact skills and versatility
fantasy value may trail behind his real world value
Santa
2:17
Pence or Upton ROS?
Brad Johnson
2:17
Pence I guess
Joe
2:17
Brad, any thoughts on Rob Whalen? I see Dillon Gee-sque stuff with slightly better breaking pitches. I like him in deeper leagues next season.
Brad Johnson
2:18
Honestly, I haven't seen him throw yet. The stat sheet says /ignore unless you need bad K rate
by bad K rate, I mean strikeouts with bad everything else
Clif Bar
2:18
Who do you like better in a 5x5 over the next 5 years - Mazara or Ozuna? Lamb or Gallo?
Brad Johnson
2:18
Mazara and Lamb
Batman
2:18
Bregman or Benintendi in a 5x5 keeper league?
Brad Johnson
2:19
Benintendi could have epic interactions with Betts
