Brad Johnson
4:15
He's finally putting up some top prospect quality numbers
Contact rate is way up
And power too
But, he's in one of the friendliest minor league venues with a juiced baseball
Vslyke

Is Nick Pivetta worth keeping in an NA slot, or should I go grab a more conventional prospect? Has been good in AAA
Brad Johnson
4:16
It's a matter of preference and alternative
if you can stash a guy like Yordan Alvarez, I would prefer that
4:17
but if it's a longer term prospect, then hold Pivetta and pick up the prospect later
Zion

Is Eduardo Rodriguez droppable in a 13 team league?
Brad Johnson
4:17
No, he's pitching well
4:18
Something we all need to get used to is that good pitchers are going to have their share of 9.00 ERA games
Rock City
4:18
I keep reading about all the good on Niko Goodrum...does he have 20/20 in him?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Home runs, yes.
I think 20 SBs is a big stretch
10 to 15 maybe (and that's with him already at 3)
Hayward
4:19
Dejong: hold or sell high?
Brad Johnson
4:19
I'd sell, especially in a OBP format. For AVG, I think you'll find the offers aren't actually better than him
Yay for YA
4:19
So do you think Yordan Alvarez may arrive by next month?
Brad Johnson
4:20
He's a top prospect repeating Triple-A with a 200 wRC+ and 11 home runs in 88 PA. Plus nice BB and K rates.
The only thing working against him is the Astros deeeeep depth chart
That said, he should be ahead of Kyle Tucker now
4:21
So yea, I think he's on the cusp of forcing a call up
Dan
4:21
Am I missing something with Kris Bryant?  Is last year making people impatient, or is me discounting last year making me too patient?
Brad Johnson
4:21
It's the combination of last season plus a slow start this year
4:22
Tommy La Stella already has 23 home runs
Bryant only has 3
It's not a great look. That said, I'm basically on board.
Jumbo
4:22
Trade Bieber for 2B Moustakas or stick with my current Cano/Odor combo of terror?
Brad Johnson
4:23
Moose is same asset class so stick with what you've got
MeDeKe
4:23
Is it worth dealing M. Chapman plus, for Bryant, in a deep 10-tm forever dynasty? Starting to wonder how close in value they are.
Brad Johnson
4:23
Chapman is better
And I just got done "liking" Bryant
ohjohnny
4:24
How worried should I be about Hiura's terrible BB/K rates in AAA? What kind of line do you think he could produce right now with a starting role in the bigs?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Not sure about the exact line, but he'd probably be an above average hitter
Zumba
4:24
So you're in on Yordan Alvarez?
Brad Johnson
4:24
Yes.
Roger
4:24
If Martin Perez shoves against Houston, is it time to take a long, deep look at him?
Brad Johnson
4:24
We can look at guys at any time
4:25
Perez is certainly better than he's been, but I'm not seeing a must-own guy for 12-team mixed
Dan
4:25
What do you expect out of Travis Shaw at this point?
