Yasiel Puig
4:32
When am I going to sign? How good am I going to be this year?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Don't know when he'll sign, but I do know he'll be mediocre!
4:33
I stand by that one.
Velma
4:33
any park changes over the season worth noting?
Brad Johnson
4:33
The Glob 2
should be a little less hitter juiced in the summer months
San Fran lowered a wall or something.
4:34
Marlins moved something in. Forget the specifics.
Might be one or two more I'm forgetting.
Missouri
4:34
Does Carlos Martinez run with the SP role? Where does Reyes fit in
Brad Johnson
4:34
Seems like he's doing well enough with it. Reyes is a reliever imo.
Matt
4:34
Just purely based on numbers I don't think TB can start Arozarena in the Majors unless they trade someone. He seems destined for AAA to start the year at least.
Brad Johnson
4:36
That's probably true. They'd have to be comfortable with having Tsutsugo as their primary backup infielder. It does make more sense to keep Wendle and option Aroz
Nuke LaLoosh
4:36
Should Trent Grisham be a must draft in 12+ team leagues?
Brad Johnson
4:36
No. Though he's fringe-must in OBP just for the upside.
Slapshot
4:37
What are your feelings regarding a Carlos Carrasco rebound for 2020?  Do you buy the top 30 SP projections I'm seeing all over the place?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Yes, assuming he recovers smoothly from his current injury.
dave in slc
4:37
mitch keller, alcantara or caleb smith, all the same price who do you go with?
Brad Johnson
4:37
I'll shoot for upside with Keller.
I also like Alcantara. Not that big on Smith.
nahtan
4:38
Better fantasy rookie SP this year: McKay or Luzardo?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Luzardo is the golden child
McKay is just a guy.
Lee
4:38
Love what I'm seeing out of Andrew Vaughn this spring.  I know most of the industry have him as a 2021 eta, but what is the probability he forces his way up this summer?
Brad Johnson
4:38
I dunno, I think a lot of us in the industry expect to see him this year.
It's a little bit up to Jose Abreu and Edwin Encarnacion though.
dougie jones
4:38
please rank desclafani, plesac, cease, bassitt
Brad Johnson
4:39
Tricky one. If I'm just trying to get some instant gratification, I want Bassitt, Plesac, Descla, and Cease
If I'm trying to spike something over the full season, then it's DeScla, Cease, Plesac, Bassitt.
Ken
4:39
rank these three please, Glasnow, Montas, J Urias thanks
Brad Johnson
4:39
You did it!
4:40
Urias is the best of them, but won't throw enough IP.
dave in slc
4:40
btw i didnt see a place to respond to your questions about the daily grind the other day to throw my opinions but i really liked the format last year but also think it would be pretty easy to add in some of the options you suggested with no downside that i see
the board
4:40
Here's my comp for Wander Franco -- what say you?! Alex Bregman
Brad Johnson
4:41
Certainly in the range of comps.
4:42
I think you also have to look at Juan Soto
It's hard to comp somebody with his numbers and physical tools through age 18
Bregman wasn't half as good at this age.
dougie jones
4:42
think danny jansen's spring success points to a possible breakout?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I do think it's a good sign if nothing else.
