What are your thoughts on Samardzila and Reyanldo lopez as buzzworthy late round pitching sleepers?
Brad Johnson
4:41
I'm not really interested. I'll make sure to check their starts though.
Chris
4:42
Do you like your Urias or Reyes as sleepers from the Padres?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Yes
Though I think Urias is going to take a couple years to be more than a guy
Consider him like the 2016 version of Ketel Marte for now

huge mets fan but you can NEVER trust them to make the right decision....hell, alonso making the team is the wrong decision!!
Pete(r) Alonso
4:43
Am I in Las Vegas or Queens on Opening Day? I have had no updates in a while
Brad Johnson
4:43
I think the math is pretty clearly in favor of Vegas

There's no argument that the Mets haven't been guilty of a lot of mismanagement over the years; also, they're under a voraciously hungry microscope. But people have been suggesting for months that Alonso is going to be a victim of service time manipulation- in spite of everything the Mets have said. It looks like they will actually be true to their word and put him on their opening day roster; no one's asking y'all to eat your words or give the team a medal, but to continue suggesting that he'll be jerked around when he has very much not been jerked around? I think that's pretty weak. I would love for just one writer/blogger/diamondbag with a platform like this to say, you know what, the Mets are imperfect, but maybe they've treated Alonso right this spring.
Brad Johnson
4:44
When he actually makes the OD roster, I will. I think it's under 50% to happen.
Don Von Handburger

Have the Rays announced which of their relievers will be "openers?"
Brad Johnson
4:44
That's not really how they operate
Chirinos will follow
probably Beeks too
Hanley Heisenberg Ramirez
4:44
Knebel worth stashing anywhere?
Brad Johnson
4:44
No
maybe deep dynasty as a keeper
4:45
maybe...
Rick Honeycutt
4:45
who is paddack-lite that I should be looking for?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Wilson and Wright in Atlanta
Don Von Handburger
4:45
Which Lowe on Tampa is the good one?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Joshua :)
I bet on Twitter his career is better than Brandon+Nate combined

Convince me that Daniel Murphy isn't going to become the next Ian Desmond
Brad Johnson
4:46
No thanks, I don't feel like it. They're very dissimilar players though.
At worst, Murphy is just an ordinary, maybe injury prone 1B
Or maybe he's a batting champ
Mario Mendoza
4:47
For a backup IF, do you like a good hitting part-timer (Chris Taylor, Jeff McNeil) or a bad starter (Wong, FP Crawford)
Brad Johnson
4:47
Crawford is starting in Triple-A
If those are your options, the part-timer
Gavin
4:47
Do you like Odor? He's my 2B right now with Cano 1B eligible.. I don't know how to feel about this...
Brad Johnson
4:48
Yea, he's fine.
Just be patient with interminable slumps and hope he eventually comes out of them

Do I need 1 week of Jose Ramirez insurance?
Brad Johnson
4:48
Probably
I'm Jon Snow and I know nothing
4:48
Velasquez looks horrible this spring. Does he keep his rotation spot this year, or does he get bumped?
Brad Johnson
4:48
VV seems like a classic Follower, and the Phillies have great personnel to put that in play
4:49
But also, if Jerad Eickhoff is healthy, then VV is pretty clearly their 6th best SP
Although Eflin is the only one they can option
