Hi folks, let's get started in a few moments.
I probably need to stop right at 5:00 today as I have some other work to finish before social sports time.

Would you be trying to trade Francisco Mejia in a dynasty in fear that he won't be catcher-eligible?
Brad Johnson
3:53
At least in my dynasty leagues (20 team, 1 C slot), losing the C eligibility isn't a bad thing.
3:54
Every day players with OF eligibility are more valuable than 450 PA from a C. Usually

Thanks for chatting Brad. I lost Salvy to injury. In the meantime should I roll with Tucker Barnhart or Francisco Cervelli? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
3:54
If you can stream, that's your best option. I'd probably go Tucker if you need to commit to one guy
Eric
3:54
Thoughts on Jakob Junis?
Brad Johnson
3:55
Nick Pollack (@PitcherList) and I watched him pitch today.
Theoretically, you can watch the whole thing here - we're not broadcasting the game itself so that's probably confusing
3:56
The slider is still his best pitch
his two-seam was nastysauce today
so much movement
flashed a slower slider and a fringy looking curve
changeup was good to Leonys Martin
command is his enemy, especially of the fastball
3:57
he seems to have 50 or even 60 grade command of the slider
No, Your Name
3:57
Bellinger for Madbum (Hurt) and Cespedes in a Keep forever?
Brad Johnson
3:57
No
Luis CKastillo

would you play Giancarlo or JorMont tonight?
Brad Johnson
3:57
I'm waiting as long as I can for weather reports. Haven't had a chance to check since this morning though
busy day

Kenley Jansen is now the #___ RP in a SV+HLD league?
Brad Johnson
3:57
5?
3:58
Unless an injury became official in the last couple hours
I've been buried in taxes :(
2 bad outings with reduced velo are not changing my expectations much. Obviously the risk profile has worsened
3:59
that's all for now, still the same sub 2.00 ERA projection RoS
Big Tuna

Any guys you’re buying in on after the first week? (Even if just for a bench stash in most leagues)
Brad Johnson
3:59
Mikolas, Drury, Pillar (I always forget he's a hot start guy then wears down)
James
4:00
what is your best estimate for when Willie Calhoun gets called up? Kind of flagrant given that he’s their best LF option AND they have injury issues
Brad Johnson
4:01
With DeShields out, I thought he might get the call. If they're looking for the extra season of control, then a few more weeks. If they legit think he needs to work on something (i.e. defense), then it could be a little longer
I doubt it extends to the Super 2 threshold.
Andy

So how concerned are you about the decline in Jansen's velocity (more so than the blown save).  Is Josh Fields next in line?
Brad Johnson
4:02
No idea who is next in line. Could be any number of players. Scott Alexander is the next best pitcher in their bullpen, but they may prefer him for LH and DP matchups.

What pitcher over-performed the most in his first start?
