Brad Johnson
4:57
Yea that's fair if you need the pitching
Bring back DeSpaniel Hair
4:57
Between Puig, BringerOfRain and DMurph, do I have too much injury risk in my starting lineup? Could add Devers to my bench
Brad Johnson
4:57
No, but add Devers anyway
Dave
4:57
Is Cesar Hernandez' position in the batting order a significant concern at this point?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Yes. The spring injury ruined his chance to defend himself as the leadoff man
4:58
He'll have to play his way back in which will be hard in that lineup
Tom
4:58
Follow up question: Is there any reason to believe that Turner starts hitting more HR. And if not, was there really any more reason to think that Lindor and Ramirez would turn into 30 HR guys?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Not really, he has one of the highest soft contact rates in the league

What are the odds the Phillies sign Keuchel and move VV to the pen?  5%?  I'm sure it depends on the cost but I think that makes the phillies much better
Brad Johnson
4:58
Probably better than 5%.
4:59
I suspect the Phillies have one of, if not the strongest offer on the table
It's just a matter of Keuchel accepting a short term deal
5:00
Boras might have convinced him to wait until a contender is desperate, but I suspect with the way teams are bidding for talent, even a desperate team will only go over their "values" by a few mil
Don Von Handburger
5:00
Do you think the trade to STL was beneficial or malignant to Goldschmidt's SB production?
Brad Johnson
5:00
That was already in a rapid fade
Mario Mendoza
5:00
re:josh lowe, is that because you like him, or are you making point that Brandon & Nate are overrated?
Brad Johnson
5:00
A little of both
5:01
Though I will admit I was shook by the Rays extending Lowe
They obviously like him a LOT more than I do to give him the Kingery deal
TX Spur
5:01
What other Fangraphs writer challenges your thinking and approach the most?
Brad Johnson
5:01
That's a fun question
5:02
I think Jeff Zimmerman approaches fantasy in an incompatible way to me. I wouldn't be able to co-manage with him
Sporer probably has the most epic/incredulous arguments with me
Though we usually secretly agree about the player and are actually arguing over what certain words mean
5:03
(ahem, *mediocre*)
Stage 5
5:03
Stage 5 not a Wilpon, not an Alonso, not a Mets employee, just a person avoiding work and challenging lazy assumptions...
Don Von Handburger
5:03
What is the most immature fantasy team name you've ever had?
Brad Johnson
5:04
I still have Brad's Hand in FG Staff one, which I implemented immediately upon drafting Brad Hand (who I still own 3 years later).
That was a GoT reference in addition to innuendo
AL G
5:04
Any thoughts on Aaron Sanchez?  Chances he can rebound?
Brad Johnson
5:04
No deep thoughts, I'm interested to see him work
tacopocket
5:04
cody allens gonna lose that job soon, right?   Who's next Buttrey?
Brad Johnson
5:05
Dunno about Allen losing the job. Before last year, he'd often struggle early then dominate in the second half
Buttrey does seem to be next
Hans
5:05
Cron or Cano for 1b?
Brad Johnson
5:05
Cano!
Jake
5:05
Please help with my last two keepers!  AL only 10 teams, 4X4 standard Pick two of Y Gurriel $10, Voit $10, Grichuk $10 Soler $5, Marco Gonzalez $5 Rodon $5 Brandon Lowe $10. Thanks
Brad Johnson
5:05
You still have keepers to pick!
5:06
Uh, I wanna say Gurriel and Marco, but I feel really sad about leaving Voit
5:07
I'd cross off Lowe and Soler
Connecting…
