Brad Johnson

I want athletic/stuff pitchers. Like Sixto.
Camden
4:27
Who are you taking in a Dynasty roto league with OPS instead of AVG? Eugenio or Devers?
Brad Johnson
4:28
That depends on if you're contending, rebuilding, or somewhere in between.
Devers is the better long term asset. Suarez is MUCH better right now
Jim
4:28
Is Corey Ray in the same situation needing an injury with that OF in MIL?
Brad Johnson
4:28
I don't think Corey Ray is a major leaguer
I see Jabari Blash
Christian
4:29
I had a super good question I wanted to ask you on your last chat. I forgot it...
BigTuna
4:29
Dammit, LittleTuna, you're supposed to be with your tutor! Stop posting in chatrooms.
Win later?
4:29
How comfortable are you with Vlad, Soto or Eloy being your most expensive auction buy in a start up dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Pretty comfortable. Vladito and Soto are top 10 assets. Eloy is somewhere in the top 30
BigTuna
4:30
Any bounceback closers you like this year for cheap(ish) saves? Giles? Melancon? Colome? Knebel?
Brad Johnson
4:30
Yes, those guys. Melancon is a guy I've been talking about a lot.
4:31
He's further distanced from those injuries and the Giants will probably trade Smith and Watson.
Daniel Castro
4:31
I'm a first round talent, and don't you forget it, Bradley.
Vic
4:31
If I don't secure Goldy or Freddie in the 2nd round of a 15 team keeper, do I draft Rizzo early or hope to get Votto or Abreu in 4th? I don't have a 3rd round pick and Belly is already kept.
Brad Johnson
4:32
I would lock in Rizzo. I can't imagine Goldy/Freddy lasting if there are players off the board.
I'm still taking Goldy well within the top 10 personally. I don't understand why he's fallen down the draft board after an amazing season
It's nonsense
PB
4:32
Does Jeff McNeil's fantasy outlook improve or get worse with a move to OF?
Brad Johnson
4:33
He's still more or less blocked. The Mets have to decide Broxton is unplayable since Nimmo's not ideally a CF.
Ken Giles Right Hook
4:33
If you like Sixto then you must like the return Miami got for Realmuto? Not concerned about injury?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Always concerned about injury to pitching prospects
Always.
I think it was a win-win swap
The Marlins were vindicated for playing hardball in negotiations
4:34
The Phillies, assuming they eventually sign Harper or Machado, come out as bonafide on paper contenders.
Siri
4:35
Are you concerned about Soto's high ground ball rate? I feel like people are a little too rosy on him. In a h2h OBP categories league with $5 inflation each year, rather keep him or Carpenter?
Brad Johnson
4:35
I assume Soto is much cheaper?
4:36
I'm not bothered by his GB rate.
Dig beyond the surface level GB/LD/FB and there's a lot to like
4:37
Really optimal launch angles which should support enough HR/FB to routinely top 20 HR. .300/.425/.550 slash lines are only like the 70th percentile outcome
And he's 20
Ramblin' Gamblin'
4:38
If healthy, does Ray Black have a chance to close some games this year?
Brad Johnson
4:38
I won't say no. He's not exactly a polished pitcher though.
Needs to improve dramatically
4:39
I know he throws hard, but that doesn't mean he's a must-be major leaguer
Billy
4:39
How many prospects do you typically keep in ottoneu leagues? does it vary with highly ranked prospects v longshots?
Brad Johnson
4:39
I avoid longshots altogether
I range from 0 to 6 or so
