Unfortunately, the guys who can actually hit won't play more than that

Can Boxberger keep the job and net around 25 saves without destroying your WHIP while keeping about 12k/9?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Can do
Might not, but it's not impossible
4:58
or even unlikely
Clear?
Nickles

Who do you like more: Cain or Buxton?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Very situational
Usually Cain though
Beric Shortgenhagen
4:58
who do you think the primary 8th inning guy in oakland winds up being? really like pagan for it
Brad Johnson
4:58
Seems like the front runner
Edwin

Why so high on McCarthy?  He's available in my 12-team on waivers... get me on the hype-train!
Brad Johnson
4:59
When he's healthy, he's typically a good source for ERA and WHIP with a decent K rate
Braves are good enough to get him some wins

can you tell us again how you navigate the queue for chats like this?
Brad Johnson
5:00
Sure. I answer questions in order for some amount of time. I'll skip any that would take awhile or are too boring in my opinion
could be 10 to 15 minutes
then I start skipping forward arbitrarily
near the end, I'm usually answer questions as they come in
Unfortunately, around this time of year, I get about 15X more questions than I can answer
(Sorta) working at the library

Any love for Nick Pivetta?  Looking to add some SP depth.
Brad Johnson
5:01
Less love than others. I was an early adopter as a streamer, but I just can't buy him for more

boxberger a top 10 closer IF he can stay healthy this year? Better than Iglesias IF they both play the full season
Brad Johnson
5:01
No
Well...
5:02
When I think "top X closer" I come from the perspective of skills
i.e. what can I project going forward
Alex Colome was a top 5 closer while having bottom 10 skills last year
5:03
I can't predict when something like that will happen
Nickles
5:03
Greg Bird is like Nick Johnson without the good stats.
Brad Johnson
5:03
Everybody's favorite new comp
CKZ
5:03
Brinson for JMont? SP is weak
Brad Johnson
5:03
Can do
oh god, there's a second page of chat comments
I'm closing down this operation soon
Greg
5:03
What tier would you have Boxberger in, now that he has been named closer?
Brad Johnson
5:04
I'll be releasing the initial Saves and Steals tiers tomorrow on Rotoworld
sometime early in the afternoon

Weird the hype blackout for Miles Mikolas ... his first Spring outing was a disaster so no one seems aware he's had three excellent ones his last times out, sitting in the high 90s, i.e. 5 mph more velocity than expected?
Brad Johnson
5:05
Interesting. In the spring, a lot can fly under my radar, I rely on my fellows to point me at changes
