Brad Johnson
3:56
We'll get started in a few minutes.
I expect this to be a busy chat so try not to flood questions at me.
Some of you are sneaky
I like to spread my answers around
Jason
3:59
Merrill Kelly or Anthony DeSclafani ?
Brad Johnson
3:59
I'll take the devil I don't know for now
i.e. Kelly
4:00
We can never rule out breakouts in this age of improved data usage, but DeSclafani seems pretty capped out as a fringe streamer
Jason
4:00
16 team OBP league, 1 catcher: Barnhardt or Astudillo?
Brad Johnson
4:00
Barnhart is a safer play. Higher floor due to playing time. Willians could still come out ahead though

The Marlins pitchers still play for the Marlins right?
Brad Johnson
4:01
Somebody has been reading my twitter
Mr. Blumenthal the Coffee Mug
4:01
In a SVHD league, should I drop Jeffress for Archie Bradley?
Brad Johnson
4:01
Yes
Closers are Fun
4:01
Who gets more saves, Archie Bradley or Strop?
Brad Johnson
4:02
Strop is probably the percentage play, but my heart says Bradley's going to find 25 somehow.
Alex
4:02
Who provides more value, Luke Weaver or Collin McHugh?
Brad Johnson
4:02
McHugh has such a strong supporting cast
And he's probably the better pitcher.
Closers are Fun
4:02
How much action will Jose Martinez get this year?
Brad Johnson
4:04
I'd like to know this answer. I don't really understand where he'll play. He's the third 1B and fifth outfielder (Bader, Ozuna, Fowler, O'Neill)?
Clearly they see some use for him, hence the extension.
Win later?
4:04
Would you trade any of Royce Lewis, Trammell, Kirilloff or Hiura for Ohtani (Sp only)....I'm rebuilding and need pitching
Brad Johnson
4:04
Option is any straight up? I think Trammell for Ohtani is a worthy gamble
4:05
He's a physical beast, but there's an awful lot of swing and miss in his approach
MetsChief
4:05
Odds on Pete Alonso for NL ROY?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Gonna say pretty low on account of the Mets jerking him around
Bring back DeSpaniel Hair
4:05
Brad! What’s up? Do I need to run and stash Senzel in a points league ten teamer? Are we talking top 50 bat?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Nah, Senzel's probably pretty ordinary for that format, and we still don't know if/when he'll play.
If you have a ton of bench space just aching for a stash, I suppose you can go ahead and do it.
4:07
If you're cutting Domingo Santana or better (just as an example), then I'd stick with the known quantity
Chuckles
4:07
What value do you see Jake Lamb having this year as a bounce back candidate?  Would you prefer Jeff McNeil even with the PT concerns?
Brad Johnson
4:07
They're really not good comps. From a category perspective, they're polar opposites
4:08
So let your needs answer that question. I have... trepidation about Lamb though I do own a couple shares.
OF Help
4:08
Buxton or Laureono as a HR/SB upside stash?  One bench spot open.
Brad Johnson
4:08
I prefer Laureano
I'm sure we could cripple baseball Twitter with that debate
Stage 5
4:08
What kind of "jerking around" do you predict, re: Alonso?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Well... it's the Mets so it could take any form
Connecting…
