Is Votto done as a 25+ HR guy?
Brad Johnson
4:34
I thought he'd bounce this year. So far, he's the only guy hitting fly balls but NOT hitting home runs (5.6% HR/FB
On a career high 48.6% FB%
4:35
Per FanGraphs metrics, he has 0 soft hit balls
I dunno, I'm buying
Very low mind you
Freedom

Deep dynasty, couldn't pull the trigger on sending my Juan Soto + top 10 prospect + top 25 pitcher for Jose ramirez. Did I screw this up?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Not at all
Should be Ramirez plus those things for Soto

I need K’s and I have Brad Hand as my closer, so, do you like this trade
Brad Johnson
4:36
I have a team named Brad's Hand
It's a pun with layers. Some of them gross.

Bryant + Kikuchi for Snell.  Which side do you like better?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Without the toe injury, Snell
Push, I'll say
I know he's only supposed to miss one start, but you never know
Ken

Speaking of Votto, his K rate is at 22% up from 11% in 2017. He's about to hit 60 PA's. Is this the new normal?
Brad Johnson
4:37
None of this is normal. He's trying shit.
We'll see what he learns along the way.
Ex Expos

Say I want to trade a scuffling Aguilar for a struggling pitcher (I have a surplus of bats - 5x5 12 tms). Any buy-low SPs you would target in about the Aguilar range?
Brad Johnson
4:38
You're probably looking Yu Darvish/Nick Pivetta types
Yuck.
You're better off working the waiver wire imo
Guest

So I need strikeouts, and I already own brad hand with Cody Allen  ,  that being said, what do you think of Mazara and Matthew Boyd for Cody Allen and Kevin Kiermaier?
Brad Johnson
4:38
You're getting Mazara and Boyd? Go do it.
4:39
Allen ain't keeping that job and KK is a fantasy patch
James

I'm in a FIP and wOBA/WRC+ based points league. Should I sell low on Votto or Sell high on Moncada/Carlos Santana?
Brad Johnson
4:39
I'd sell high on Moncada. I bet you can stoke a good bidding war.
Keep Votto.

Why do the Rangers and Rockies hate their own prospects? Forsythe and Reynolds.. really? Give Calhoun and Hampton/Tapia some run and see what you got!
Brad Johnson
4:40
Calhoun doesn't have a defensive position, and he's not an especially good hitter either.
Though I do want to see him set free because he's almost Willians shaped
Little Piranhas

Drafted Tyler White but he isn't playing. Keep stashing him or just drop him and cut my losses. 12-team league
Brad Johnson
4:41
Cut your losses
I say with great sadness
White was one of my sleepers for this season
David

Adam Frazier playable in a 12 team H2H? I've rostered Cano and Dozier and you know how that's going. Chris Taylor is also available. Worth a gamble?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Definitely, good leadoff hitter. Frazier over Taylor. Taylor is barely playing.

Thanks Brad! Who takes down the NL EAST?
Brad Johnson
4:42
Hard for me to bet against the Phillies right now. Of all the teams in the division, they're the only ones with depth at every position.
