No I can't. I'm always skeptical when this happens. I think I still like Happ.
Joey Lou Cheesy
4:30
Not confident Holland gets the closing gig soon?
Brad Johnson
4:30
Seems like he basically has it. I just don't see him as an upgrade to the Astros and Orioles closers
The Man With No Name

Cahill or Gibson RoS?
Brad Johnson
4:30
EZ Cahill
Mediocre or mediocre
4:31
Patience running thin on Moran - should I grab Gyorko while he's still available?
Brad Johnson
4:31
meh
I'd stick with Moran. He's pretty steady.
Gyorko's playing time depends entirely on better players slumping

Kept Ramirez(2/3) as my 2B, Bregman(3/SS) as my SS, and drafted Justin Turner as my 3B. Picked up Albies and Baez(2/SS) in middle rounds as backups and ... wow. So now Bregman is mostly on the bench until he remembers how to hit, and I'm wondering who I sell when Turner comes off the DL?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Cool
I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's nice to have depth. And if you have a specific need when they're all healthy, just plop them all on the trade block and say you want whatever it is you want

The Red Sox have a .592 OPS against lefties this season.  How good can JA Happ be tonight?
Brad Johnson
4:33
You mean these 20-ish games they've played in this bizarrely cold April?
Let's not get carried away with the platoon splits yet.
4:34
I'm not opposed to using Happ though
He's a good, unsexy pitcher
Phil
4:34
Hold Castillo over Gray, ERod, Flaherty, or Mikolas? Also, hold Mazara or Beltre over Andujar? Thanks
Brad Johnson
4:34
Yes and yes
I like those pitching options on your wire though
YO
4:34
Trade Story for Corbin? I have bogaerts
Brad Johnson
4:36
I don't know. I just can't bring myself to believe this much in Corbin. Even though I have a few shares.
Story has cut his O-Swing rate, and he's picking out better pitches in the zone too.
And he already has five SB
Think you'd be selling on a better roto player than Xander

Cahill viable in a 14 team points league? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:37
Yes
A Random Dude

12-team, keep forever, roto league

I'm offering Goldy, Jose Martinez, Ketel Marte, Mike Clevinger for Hoskins, Addison Russell, Benintendi, Felipe Vazquez. Is that a fair offer? Thoughts on Goldy vs Hoskins? I also have Rizzo, so I'm big on getting Hoskins for his youth/future replacement
Brad Johnson
4:37
Smells pretty reasonable to me. That's a lot to unpack though
Tony
4:38
would you trust starting Ohtani tonight?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Weekly notice that "trust" has nothing to do with using a guy
You should use Ohtani for every start unless your league has unusual constraints
4:39
Not all of them will be good. Don't try to guess which will be good or bad.
That's for fringy arms
NoTroutAboutIt

Thoughts on selling high on Manaea? I keep reading about his regression and now it has me thinking...
Brad Johnson
4:39
I had someone ask me if they should Manaea for McCullers. And it was accepted. That's the kind of swap I'd target
Joe B
4:40
Cory Seager- hidden injury (elbow) or just a really slow start.  Power is near non-existent.
Brad Johnson
4:40
Seems like that lingering elbow my still be lingering

projections for gleyber? better real life player or fantasy?
Brad Johnson
4:40
better real world until I see otherwise
