Kingery could be another option with better utility and a similar offensive profile
Sean

Worried about Ryan Zimmeran? He's just been an .800 OPS-ish guy since May 1 of last year. That doesn't play as a 1B-only guy who doesn't run...
Brad Johnson
4:17
Not worried so much as I was never in on him
I'll buy him as a stud bat when healthy. When is he healthy?

Have to grab a closer or two off the heap.  How would you rank Ziegler/Albers/Parker/Yates for a team that needs S but not so much ratio help?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Ziegler, Parker, Albers, Yates
Josh

Is Colin Moran an add in 12 teamers?  Think he can .280/20?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Fringe and basically yes
Maybe closer to .270

Re: next Nick Senzel question. I was looking for guys not universally owned, and for 2018.
Brad Johnson
4:19
Let me think about that a moment
4:20
Austin Hays, Urias, Alex Verdugo, Jake Bauers, Francisco Mejia
Urias is the best of those but maybe the least close to the majors

Is Abreu + grandal enough for Hoskins in 12 team H2H 10x10. I would pick up Barnes for catcher
Brad Johnson
4:21
No...
Go ahead and try it though

Just lost Suarez. What do you expect from Brian Anderson this year? OBP league. Thanks
Brad Johnson
4:21
Similarish to Suarez. Much more volatility in the projection.
Poncho
4:21
Should I be rushing to pick-up Nick Senzel? What does the ROS return look like?
Brad Johnson
4:22
Probably yes, if only to re-sell him right away
Expect some five category production early in his career
Taylor
4:22
Would you drop either of Ian happ or schwarber for senzel?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Maybe Happ. Probably not rushing to do that

I just saw that Pivetta was traded to the phils for papelbon back in 2015.  that trade is looking pretty good now for the phils!
Brad Johnson
4:23
The Nationals can't have nice things. At least when it comes to developing their own pitchers in recent years
they're all traded away
Linus

Domingo Santana:  beast or bust this season?  I'm growing concerned.
Brad Johnson
4:24
In between?
Still the less popular version of George Springer to me. Will usually have some playing time.
Breezy
4:24
Selling Kimbrel?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Considering it. Not forcing the issue though. The red flags are worrisome
4:26
Last year was as good as it was due to career best velocity and command. Right now he's showing career worsts of both
Matt Harvey

Am I better than a streamer in 12-team mixers? Maybe with the 8-1 start for NYM someone believes.
Brad Johnson
4:26
I don't buy it
JS
4:26
I know it's early, but have you noticed Maikel Franco doing anything different this year to fuel his hot start?
Brad Johnson
4:26
Very obvious changes actually
Let's see...
Those aren't great
