Brad Johnson

5:05

I'll have to take a look later

Margo Adams

5:06

Could you rank these closers? - Boxberger, Parker, Leone, Greene

Brad Johnson

5:06

Initially or season long

Initially, Box, Leone, Parker, Greene

season long, Box, Green, Parker, Leone

5:07

Leone has a narrow window to prove he should be the closer

Greg

5:07

What are your thoughts on Villar bouncing back and being a bargain this year?

Brad Johnson

5:07

It's possible

I wish I had a share or two just in case

but I don't

Marry/Kill/F*ck

5:07

any changes to approach in a net saves and net steals 5x5?

Brad Johnson

5:07

Not really, I might pay $2 instead of $3 for Rodney

5:08

I'll zero out the base running value for a few CS-prone guys

But you still need volume

yelp

5:08

Boegarts and Teheran for Hoskins in a keeper points league. Which side do you like

Brad Johnson

5:08

Hoskins

Walt

5:08

Am I crazy for thinking Mitch Garver is a good $1 sleeper at C in a 15 team, 2 catcher league? His MLB numbers last year were terrible, but he's got pop and will mostly start against LHP.

Brad Johnson

5:09

A nice sleepy sleeper

At least as good as Tom Murphy last year

people went wild for Murphy

Semien

5:09

Do you put any stock in contract years? Semien's always been kind of interesting, wondering if he's worth starting in a 6x6 w/ walks, 12 teams

Brad Johnson

5:10

I've found nothing statistically predictable related to contract years. Semien specifically was quietly having a breakout year. Put up his usual full season counting stats in half a year

Observation

5:10

Yer not a grouch at all

Brad Johnson

5:10

grumble

Guest

5:10

I have a claim in for JA Happ and Kingery. What order would you do?

Brad Johnson

5:10

Kingery over Happ

Happ may well be more productive, but his skill set is much more replaceable

Beric Shortgenhagen

5:10

tyler yates, jake diekman, or steve cishek for holds?

Brad Johnson

5:11

Diekman if you want a chance for bonus saves

Cishek if all you care about are the holds

Slapshot

5:11

What kind of upside/downside do you see for Charlie Morton this year?

Brad Johnson

5:11

20% better than last year to instantly injured

Kevin

5:12

Aaron Sanchez or Jordan Montgomery?

Brad Johnson

5:12

Sanchez

Peter Angelos

5:12

If, like some have said, Harper is in line for 400 million this offseason, would Trout be looking at 500 million? And where does Machado fall in this massive payday mix?

... asking for a friend.

Brad Johnson

5:12

I can't even imagine what Trout could have signed for...

5:13

I picture the Yankees buying the Marlins and saying they'll give to Trout at the end of a 12-year contract.

And Derek Jeter sitting in a room surrounded by clowns in Crying Jordan masks

Lebowski

5:13

How does Kingery turning into a younger version of Ben Zobrist play into Phillies OF situation? How does PT get split with Altherr and Williams?

Connecting…
