Brad Johnson

Yes and yes
All DL pitchers are concerning
Pie
4:16
What'd you see in Mikolas that's making you buy?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Great stuff, supplies his own offense
Seriously good four seam, viable sinker-ish thing, good curve
Always Blue Always Blue
4:17
Who ends up as the Angels closer when all the dust settles?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Mike Scioscia
He always wins
4:18
I might as well guess... oh I don't know... definitely Jim Johnson
Jake Junis Priest
4:18
PS - If I'm a Patreon, is it better to ask q's here or somewhere else?
Brad Johnson
4:18
(the site has a message system, use it. Also upcoming mailbags)

any concern about Aaron Hicks' production when he returns? Obliques can linger, but can intercostals?  What's an intercostal?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Grab your oblique, move up a few inches to your rib, move towards your spine
it's around there
yes, they can linger. Notably this was an injury players used to ignore
4:20
Unless it's a grade 2 or 3 strain, you can play through it with no ill effect on performance. But it probably increases other injury risks

Better daily-league UTIL asset (i.e., sitting them against LHP): Alonso or Morrison?
Brad Johnson
4:20
Alonso
close to a push though
Josh
4:20
What kind of numbers do you think Drury can put up this year?
Brad Johnson
4:21
.260 avg, 20+ HR, outsized R production for a player of his otherwise bland profile
kind of like a peak Walker season

4:21
follow up to the Jose Martinez question - drop Gallo, Olson or Bird for him?  10 Team mixed H2H
Brad Johnson
4:21
Yes, drop Bird
The other two are hard keeps though
Shelby
4:21
Estimated ABs for Kingery? 450+?
Brad Johnson
4:21
525
4:22
He'll be 5 days a week via rotation
I'll reiterate my projection - Byron Buxton plus all the positions
Chicos
4:22
Brad, I kept Ian Happ and drafted Javy Baez to try to help guide me through their platoon.  This has only made things worse.  Both have started awful and I don't know what to do.  How would you manage this mess?
Brad Johnson
4:22
Go back and sell Happ 5 minutes into Opening Day
4:23
If this is roto, just roll with the punches
if it's H2H, you either live with the volatility or look for trades

Jorge Soler: It's never gonna happen is it...
Brad Johnson
4:23
Magic 8 ball says no
Prancer

Thoughts on Gausman's trouncing this weekend? Is he gonna ruin us again?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Call again in late-June
Alvaro
4:24
Why do I always convince myself that this is the year Gausman figures it out?!
Brad Johnson
4:24
I blame Sporer
Pete

In a 6x6 with quality starts and wins as categories what sort of tier starters would you be targeting for Jose Martinez ?
