The other rosters have much more fragility.

I need Brad Hand and have K's as my closer, so, do you like this trade?
Brad Johnson
4:43
Tricking me with nonsense!
Sammy the Schnoz

How much are we buying Freddy Galvis and his change in approach?
Brad Johnson
4:44
About 2%
Not even the extra 2%

What's your take on Anthony Alford? Hot spring, yo-yoed to start the season, now looks cold in AAA and Jays did not bring him up post-Pillar. Service time not an issue, no injury; he's no spring chicken. Is this just a matter of getting him more AAA at bats (that would mean Jays are worried he will be overmatched at MLB). Do you see any window to a near-term callup, and once he is up, what do you project?
Brad Johnson
4:44
Alford profiles as a fifth outfielder. Huge contact issues.
Pine Needles

Josh Bell or Luke Voit?

Voit

Yes
Pine Needles

Yandy Diaz or Hunter Dozier?
Brad Johnson
4:45
Dozier higher ceiling, Diaz higher floor
Glasnow

Can he actually breakout? Obviously not 0.35 era but...
Brad Johnson
4:45
Yes, it's possible
Pine Needles
4:45
I'm worried about Charlie Blackmon, are you?
Brad Johnson
4:46
I mean, I'm worried he's 32.
But he'll hit 25ish HR with nice 5-cat numbers
Turgid

How would you rank Kikuchi, Cahill, and Merrill Kelly?
Brad Johnson
4:46
Reverse order
John

Start Pivetta tonight or keep him on the bench? Already off to a bad start with Syndergaard yesterday
Brad Johnson

BENCH

Josh Bell seems to be punishing the ball. What do you think his absolute upside is?
Brad Johnson
4:47
A good Brandon Belt season?
His power is a little iffy for his park. He'd be a gem in Cincinnati
Guest
4:47
Which side do you like more? Freeman and Kikuchi for Votto and James Paxton?
Brad Johnson
4:47
EZ Freeman
Siri

Look at Franmil Reyes' batted ball data and plate discipline.  He has the looks of a star in the making....no?
Brad Johnson
4:48
That's in the solution set, yes
It's not can't miss
But there's a reason the Padres are going to make sure he gets enough action to show up
Bring back DeSpaniel Hair

Am I nuts for thinking Alonso nearly matches Nelson Cruz in production at util slot this year?
Brad Johnson
4:49
No, I have Alonso hitting more HR than Cruz in this week's Homer Report on Rotoworld.
(ran on Saturday)
And the Mets lineup is better than the Twins

DeShields was cut last week. %of FAAB that seems reasonable to acquire him? I sure could use the steals ...
Brad Johnson
4:49
6.5%? This is a situation I'd never win.
