Tatis currently has a .348 BABIP. That's likely high, but he has ran decently high in the minors...think that AVG is relatively sustainable as a Jose Ramirez replacement?
Brad Johnson
4:26
I think the league will adjust. But he forces things to happen with his legs. That's why the minor league BABIP is high
That usually doesn't transfer to the majors
4:27
One reason is the level of effort required isn't sustainable over years of 162 game seasons

Part with a $10 Tatis (can keep 3 years then extend) for a $42 deGrom if it really improves my chances at a title this year?
Brad Johnson
4:27
I'd ask a little more. Unless it's like 10 or 12 team. I'm assuming a deeper format.

What's your level of concern for slow-starting Nola? Syndergaard?
Brad Johnson
4:27
I'm a little more worried about Nola than Syndergaard
4:28
But! You can find me saying Thor is overhyped in roughly 50 articles
I think he's pitching to his talent right now
Nola's command is missing
and that's an actual concern

Who'd you rather have ROS in 12 team AL only....Jose Ramirez or Bregman? Both go back into the 2020 draft.
Brad Johnson
4:29
Personally, I prefer Ramirez

Which enormous human has the better 2019 at the plate:  Franmil Reyes or Yandy Diaz?
Brad Johnson
4:29
Franmil is my bet
Though I have Yandy in a bet to outperform Jake Bauers
4:30
So I'm not out on him either.

Do you buy the early-season hype on Vogelbach? No one expects him to keep up this pace, but with his power and batting eye, is it likely that he emerges as a star this season?
Brad Johnson
4:30
No.
Star is FAR too strong a word.
Was Adam Lind a star?
4:31
And to be clear, I'm not really comping them in terms of skill set, but they're probably a similar asset class.

12 team mixed, last in saves at the moment. Am I okay with Neris, Minter, Morrow or should I make a move?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Keep working the wire
No sense lighting value on fire by trading for saves
So many come down the pipe for free
Zion

Is David Peralta underrated?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Quite possibly
4:32
His profile is weird in that I wouldn't expect him to succeed at the rate he does.
For now, I'm shrugging and calling him an outlier
Mario Mendoza
4:32
speaking of Jake Bauers... what did I draft him for again?
Brad Johnson
4:32
I don't know
At least a year early...
He might wake up later

what range of SP should conforto generate in a trade... strasburg type SP?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Yes
George W
4:33
Kershaw or Taillon?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Honestly, Taillon
Pretty similar though. Taillon just happens to have better recent health
