No need for self-abasement, it's a very common question structure. It's just not a helpful question because you're asking me to be an oracle.
I can either pretend to be an oracle or offer an unhelpful shrug

With Bichette question answered, What are the odds Cavan Biggio makes an impact this year?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Higher than Bichette
For one, there is less agreement that Biggio is a future MLBer
So the Blue Jays gain more by evaluating him in front of their best personnel.

BUT.... we're paying you to be an oracle

Would my owner be dumb to trade me for Snell and Devers in a 3yr keep limit, 13tm Roto?
Brad Johnson
4:57
Well, depends on those keep limits.
Looks pretty reasonable though
Craig Tepper

Now a good time to sell high on Pete Alonso? Any ideas for what I could potentially ask for?
Brad Johnson
4:58
If you have spare CI and need help elsewhere, sure
Don't need to force anything. Aim high because name value matters

Here's the real question however... Are you one of the oracles from 300? Or are you the Oracle from The League? Big difference
Brad Johnson
4:58
I'm the company Oracle
Rupert from Scotland
4:59
We're paying you to be an Oracle but you're still just an AT&T

Can you please try to shed any additional light on the closer situation in Seattle.....I have Elias...should I pick up Brennan? Rosscup? both?...Thanks.
Brad Johnson
4:59
Hahahahaha.
No, I cannot
5:00
It's just a mucky pen. Elias, Brennan, and Parker Markel are the guys I'm watching now.

Thanks for the chat Brad.  It's an enjoyable part of my week.
Brad Johnson

Bunz knows when I'm about to throw in the towel
5:01
I'll be able to push these a little longer again starting in June
My social calendar currently requires me to eat and do core exercises now
So... last call
Craig Tepper

Do you definitely prefer Carlos Correa to Paul DeJong for the rest of this season?
Brad Johnson
5:01
Yea, I do. But I'm not making a fuss about having DeJong instead
Leif
5:02
I can keep two of these three shortstops, Dejong, Polanco or Simmons.  Who do I let go?
Brad Johnson
5:02
Simmons
Polanco is flashing a maybe-Betts breakout
Not saying it's definitely happening, but we're looking at a similar set of skills. Skills which can win fantasy leagues.
Simmons is just a solid always starts guy
Thanks
5:02
Was offered caleb for nola, should I qccept?
Brad Johnson
5:02
I really don't think you can
5:03
If the Marlins were actually the Braves, then sure
Ken Giles Right Hook

Brad I must know your favorite episode of the Office
To know if your advice is trustworthy
Brad Johnson
5:03
The best office-based show is The IT Crowd
Money
5:04
You should plug your Patreon more
Brad Johnson

Why thanks, I should! Honestly though, I try to walk a fine line between self-promotion and not being completely obnoxious about it
