He had a weird HR-prone year, and he's never been that guy
Almost as if maybe certain teams knew what he was throwing...
5:09
his stuff and command (such as it is) appeared to be intact.
DeepKeeper

Can you rank these guys in a 20team keeper for SP depth? Eovaldi, Bailey, Mahle, Smyly?
Brad Johnson
5:09
Yea, you've got it.
I finished 2019 with all four of those players on a 20-team, keep 28 roster
I only kept Eovaldi.
5:10
Well, technically I traded Rowdy for Mahle after the season then later decided to cut him.

Domingo Santana: .270-80-25-90-15 possible?
Brad Johnson
5:10
If the phrasing is "possible" then it's hard to say no
5:11
That's extremely bullish though. I'm expecting closer to like .255/.15/45/45/6
Time to wrap it up. First I need to warm my tea, which I forgot I had for an entire hour.
5:13
ah better
Vegan Man!

I need speed in my 10 team roto. How early is too early to grab Mallex? Debating him at 14.6. Thanks!
Brad Johnson
5:14
That seems early. Also, it's 10-team and you're in our 25-team dynasty so I think you can handle lighting a 14th rounder on fire if you really want Mallex.
5x5 roto

Victor Reyes...275,  65, 15, 55, 35... are you taking the over/under?
Brad Johnson
5:15
Under
5:16
Reyes is a cool player who I've been following for years. The median outcome is still "why is he in the majors?"
Granted, his defense can keep him afloat as a sort of new Peter Bourjos

Semien and baseball- I dont undertand the discussions and hesitations on the baseball. If the baseball is less bouncy, Semien power number regress but so does the leagues, so his skill gains matter more than the ball right? This applies to everyone not just Semien
Brad Johnson
5:17
The baseball effect appears to have been extremely asymmetric.
Specifically with regards to Semien, it's hard to point to any areas of substantive improvement.
It reads very much like the time Rich Aurilia hit a billion bombs

Will my boy finally get his shot or is Dusty Baker going to screw him by playing Josh Reddick. He has nothing left to prove in AAA.
Brad Johnson

Josh Reddick
5:18
I wrote about him everyday in the Daily Grind when it was a streaming column for half a decade.
This is his victory lap!

Which Post Hype player do you expect to have the biggest return this year? One for hitting and one for pitching please.
Brad Johnson
5:18
This is a good place to end. And I'll take a moment to compose my thoughts.
5:19
Bradley Zimmer. The Indians will be starting him in the minors, but they still need some OF firepower. And his mutant huge-man speed is still in evidence.
5:20
You know, the player profile I wrote for Nick Pivetta earlier this winter could be summarized as "forget this guy"
But I read he spent the winter in the same pitching lab as Giolito and now I'm curious again.
The Skipper

Thanks for the chat!

'Twas a pleasure. Now it's time to go make a Tout Wars pick. Wish me luck. It's probably Eugenio Suarez at 85th.
good game

Keep forever league - Judge or Meadows?
Brad Johnson
5:21
Push. Consider your time horizons
AC
5:22
Most reps at 3B for the Phillies this year: Kingery, Segura, Bohm, or someone not currently in the organization?
Brad Johnson
5:22
Kingery
Gilligan

Franimal more valuable than Hoskins in 5x5?  no position concerns
