Sporer and Mason gave me a lot of shit for that comment...

4:16

Not really saying I'm right based on his bad April, but I do still believe he's a lot closer to bad than good.

Matt Davidson + Top X starting pitcher = Joey Gallo ... what is X?

Brad Johnson

4:16

Uh, Matt Davidson+Severino for Gallo and a cut?

I guess my take on that is skewed

4:17

I have very few AVG leagues so I default to OBP/OPS

Maybe more like Godley

Bird Man

Peter Alonso has better numbers than Vladdy Jr. and has the longer track record to back it up, change my mind.

Brad Johnson

4:18

Talk to a scout. The creation myth of Vladito is at least three parts physical to one part statistics

I could see Alonso being the Rhys Hoskins of 2018 though.

Re: Conforto's shoulder strength. Looks like he's averaging 2 MPH less on his BBE this year as opposed to last year. Is that a a huge drop off? Thanks!

Brad Johnson

4:19

Not in this size of sample

mr g

Would you try and trade McCullers (and maybe a compliment) to acquire Nola?

Brad Johnson

4:19

No, prefer McCullers by a hair

Chatty McChatterson

Looking to trade some closer depth for a SP...is offering Vizcaino/Shane Greene to buy low on Taillon too low ball of an offer? How do you value closers in trades?

Brad Johnson

4:20

Probably, but try it anyway. It's an extremely variable asset. I usually try to get them as throw ins, especially that level of CL

Teoscar Hernandez

4:20

Are you buying into me being really good?

Brad Johnson

4:20

eh, I'm buying into you being a starter from now on

Pine Needles

4:20

Are you a believer in Eugenio Suarez? I have him and Chapman and aren’t sure who to play/keep

Brad Johnson

4:21

Both should be owned in all formats

I'm worried about him rushing back from his thumb injury.

So be careful making him your only 3B if you opt to trade Chapman

Kyle Gibson

4:21

Am I pretty good now?

Brad Johnson

4:22

You have a good slider. That fastball though is still woofy

He's begging to join the bullpen.

Dr. Met

4:22

re: conforto: he's also not getting consistent PT as mets rotate 4 OF and 3 1b

Brad Johnson

4:23

That's actually a good thing. It's not like you get rusty from a day off every once in awhile.

And he needs it for healing

Pine Needles

4:23

Drop Pivetta for Soroka in 10 teamer?

Brad Johnson

4:23

Nah.

Luck Dragons

4:24

Did Hader have the all-time best/most dominant MLB save last night?

Brad Johnson

4:24

since Randy Johnson was around

Todd Frazier

4:24

E Escobar or Y Solarte?

Brad Johnson

4:24

Solarte

mr g

4:24

Name 5 SPs outside the consensus top 10 that you'd want ROS (consensus: Scherzer, Kluber, Kershaw, Sale, Severino, deGrom, Stras, Thor, Verlander, Cole)

Brad Johnson

4:24

Hmm, need a minute

4:25

McCullers

Berrios

CMart

Morton
