Brad Johnson

Hey folks, we'll get started in a few moments.
3:58
A word of warning, I'm going to be a little extra deliberate in my answers today. I've been unplugged from anything that's happened since Thursday. Still catching up.
Vic
4:01
Will Keller get more well deserved opportunities to start?
Brad Johnson
4:01
Like this, I completely missed this.
4:02
The Pirates seemingly have a spot for Keller in place of Steven Brault
Or he could take Kingham's slot
The Pirates are known to be extremely conservative with promotion plans
4:03
Now that they've called him up, I'll say he'll get at least 10 starts
Matt

Gotta drop one of either JA Happ (and eat $6 of $10) or Pablo Lopez (at $1). I have a few good SP options, and trying to decide if waiting on Lopez's upside is the right move...12 team roto dynasty.
Brad Johnson
4:03
Lopez is the cut
4:04
As much as I think he's a relatively talented pitcher, the Marlins have shown no sign or aptitude towards building a complete roster
I'm inclined to believe their starting pitching depth is more happy coincidence than actual developmental plan
4:05
Happ at least could salvage some immediate wins with similarly rough ratios
Ultimately, I think you want to replace both if you can
I'll add, Happ is only a 2019 play at this stage of his career. No need to look further down the line.
Big Tuna
4:05
Are you holding Jose Martinez in a 12 tm OPS league? Statcast numbers are good but results and PT aren't great. Could drop him for JD Davis (now starting) and Piscotty.
Brad Johnson
4:05
I'd make one of those swaps
Donjuan
4:06
Which side of this trade do you prefer, all things being equal: Machado for Marquez and H Dozier? Is it a close call for you?
Brad Johnson
4:06
Not close, preference for Machado
Kitch Meller
4:06
Chad Pinder- he waiver wire fodder?
Brad Johnson
4:06
For 12-mixed? Always was
Guy you CAN roster but always look to replace with better
Averagejoe
4:06
Should I be holding Maeda in a 14 teamer or is he streamable? I'd be eyeing a guy like Canning as a streamer.
Brad Johnson
4:07
I'd probably hold for now
Reassessing every week or two
Kdog
4:07
Sup Brad. I have stashed Yordan Alvarez. I am waiting for word he comes up to replace, if anyone, White. I have been offered Robles and/or Domingo Santana for him. What to do?
Brad Johnson
4:07
I assume there are some keeper considerations. Robles is a better-looking asset both now AND long term
4:08
I wouldn't take Santana who's just a streaky league average guy
4:09
It's also fine to wait. The Astros are running out of reasons to keep him down.
Billy
4:09
What's your preference between Musgrove, Lyles, and Archer in H2H pts
Brad Johnson
4:09
Probably Archer
Griss
4:09
Wanna try to acquire trout 12 team redraft. JV + Gallo for Trout and Barnes? Which side
Brad Johnson
4:09
Depends entirely on needs
4:10
it's a taut offer
Nate
4:10
Thoughts on Martin Perez? Velocity has dipped on average over the last five starts. Are you selling or holding in dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:10
Was always selling
Still selling
An improved Perez isn't the same as a good Perez
He's merely usable. I'll always turn that into something I want long term if the opportunity arises
Tito
4:10
Is Cron going to get a real chance with the DBacks?
