I know Giolito has done this to us before, but worth a speculative grab. Not starting this week, but better to be a week early, right?
Brad Johnson
4:16
I can't say I'm especially excited so I wouldn't be rushing is shallower formats.
Mmm Mmm Good
4:16
The Orioles are a Top-3 team.  Well....no.  They're not.  Nevermind.
Catcher in the Rye
4:16
Cervelli is doing not much for the Buccos.  What are your thoughts on Elias Diaz getting some major AB’s once activated of the IL?
Brad Johnson
4:16
Let's calm the hell down people
Big Tuna
4:16
What do you make of the Padres OF situation? Reyes has huge upside and is off to a slot start. Margot has never quite lived up to the hype. Renfroe and Franchy are waiting in the wings. How do you think this ends up?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Reyes is going to be given every opportunity to run with the job.
Orbit

Need a MI streamer for tonight in an AVG and OPS league. Flores, Pinder, Ahmed, Galvis, Starlin, or someone else not listed?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Gimme a cleanup hitter - Castro or Flores
3 Lindors Down
4:18
Since Tatis Jr was on the opening day roster, will he be next in line for an early extension?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Next up are Tatis, Vladito, and Bichette in some order
of the youngin's
Carl
4:18
OK to cut Hunter Greene in all but the deepest leagues?
Brad Johnson

If you're sifting through early season numbers to find out if someone has made a change in skill level, what do you look at? For pitchers: whiffs, velocity, movement? For hitters: exit velocity, swing rates, pull %?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Pretty much nothing to look at for hitters this early besides visually scouting ab's
4:20
Pitchers you're looking for velocity and pitch usage for the most part
Whiffs aren't very informative unless you also scout the start
Minor leaguers
4:20
Are they any current minor leaguers you see having a fantasy impact in a deep NL only league?  Senzel is too easy, dig much deeper please - thanks.
Brad Johnson
4:20
Fun question, but I'll need to think about it a moment
4:21
Ok I have a few
4:22
Rough start to that exercise, the entire NLE is barren besides maybe Roman Quinn if 3 OFers hit the IL ahead of him
Mark Zagunis is fringe interesting in a part time role
4:23
Cole Tucker and Ke'Bryan Hayes look like they'll be ready to contribute this year.
Hayes is definitely head and shoulders above Kang/Moran, but they might serve to block him
Tucker has no such impediment, but he's less likely to force the issue
4:24
Ildemaro Vargas is one of the best/readiest Fringe Five guys
That Alex Verdugo guy. Have you heard of him?
4:25
Connor Joe probably doesn't count. But Connor Joe! Maybe Breyvic Valera if he could hit his way out of a wet paper bag
Snakebite
4:25
Christian Walker for real?  Will playing time continue enough at 1B?
Brad Johnson
4:26
He's going to start against all LHP. I dunno if "real" is good descriptor. He does in fact exist. I also don't see much talent. Classic Quad-A profile.

I have miggy as by 1st baseman.  its kinda boring to own him but i'd be crazy to cut him for Voit, right?  I have Voit as my Util and could sub in Muncy
Brad Johnson
4:27
I'm confused. I don't know why I picked this one because I don't know how to respond to you having and not having Voit.
Seems like they should all co-exist nicely
Bobo
4:27
Astudillo hasn't played much. Nellie Cruz seems to clog DH. Better option in deep league: Barnhart, Zunino, C Kelly, Mejia. Please rank.
Brad Johnson
4:27
Barnhart, Zunino/Astudillo, others
4:28
Be patient, he'll hit too much to sit.
Canned Peanuts
4:28
What kind of production will Robles need to have in the first month to move out of the 9 hole (assuming no injuries)?
Brad Johnson
4:28
.270/.345/.425?
Another "please be patient" scenario
