nimmo or muncy in 2019?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Muncy
4:26
But I am the one who pointed out they're clones
Muncy doesn't have to deal with ShittyField

Cedric Mullins looks like the starting CF and leadoff man for the O's next year, what kind of line do you see him posting in a full season?
Brad Johnson
4:26
He's an early sleeper for me
4:27
I see potential for a breakout season with just as much potential for a disappoint Kevin Pillar-like batting line
20/20 is a potential outcome
so is 8/8
Slurve
4:27
Any speculation on closers?  Set-up guys who could very well assume the closer role - for those who still count saves that is...
Brad Johnson
4:27
Let's not worry about that just yet

Was Bryant first rounder last year?
Brad Johnson
4:27
Yes, back end

Did you guys know it's pronounced KAI-bosh? That was one of countless words I've embarrassed myself with.  Several of the others are colors. Sepia, fuchsia, mauve.

The Athletic (which I'm otherwise a big fan of), has their chats in an unmoderated format, and even though things are pretty tame over there, I greatly prefer this. I can go to a message board or twitter if I want the opinion of randos.
Brad Johnson
4:28
True
4:29
I'm whipping together a Discord community for just that purpose!
Except I'm the leader. Ping me privately via an acceptable method of communication if you want in

got in late here what is topic today?  open?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Macroeconomics of minor league stadium management, applications thereof

It's hard enough to know who's gonna close in late March, let alone now
Brad Johnson
4:30
Rotoworld has me produce a Saves and Steals column for the annual magazine
The thing goes out in January but the article is due in early December
That's a shit show

is there any way to access statcast data besides savant?
Brad Johnson

Befriend Tango/Mike?
Sox not Saux
4:31
Going along the same vein of your response on Altuve (i.e. last year was the time to sell him), is now the time to sell Blake Snell?  He obviously got some good fortune this year and the control/command still needs some work, but he still looks like a VERY good starter going forward given the stuff he possesses.
Brad Johnson
4:31
I think it would be foolish not to carefully listen to offers
My position on guys coming off a career year is I want somebody to feel like they MUST have him
4:32
If I can't extract a rent, I'm usually not interested in selling
team needs notwithstanding
My other approach is to use such players to go after Mike Trout/similar

how does discord identify who's talking? in case I need this info next March...
Brad Johnson
4:32
lel, I haven't really tested the talking features much. We mostly use it as an open forum
4:33
It's better Slack
Planet Dust
4:33
Do you think that the save category is going to stay viable over next say 5 years?
Brad Johnson
4:33
That! is a good question
I think it will. The way we manage the category will change though
4:34
There is merit to relievers pitching better when they know their roles
The best bullpens typically only have one or two roving late inning guys with the others filling explicit roles
