Brad Johnson

He's been so bad that I think it's safe to put him on the waiver wire
4:28
I'm paying close attention so I can reclaim him
But I've been dropping shares
Peripherals still look fine to me
I think he'll rebound

What do you make of Corbin? Reminds me of Alex Wood last year-- velo drop scary but ends up only sliding him down from dominant to really good
Brad Johnson
4:28
Not a bad analogy

Nola for Kershaw straight up? I was offered the trade (I have Nola) but am skeptical due to Kershaw's health and Nola's success.
Brad Johnson
4:29
Oh wowza. Talk about risk and reward. The thing about Nola is he's not exactly a paragon of health himself
I tend to take awhile to digest these sorts of offers.
4:30
My initially reaction is the saying about it not being broke
you know, the one where you don't fix it
If you don't need a miracle, maybe play it safe with the healthy ace
4:31
So hard to pass up Kershaw though...
Guy clearly has a hard on for Nola, maybe ask for a closer throw in

Is Shane Bieber worth picking up for this year, or does he go back down/spend most of ROS at AAA?
Brad Johnson
4:32
Not more than a one start stream for redraft - at least for now
Make Me A Winner
4:32
Buxton: time to jump ship, or is there still a guy to be found in there?
Brad Johnson
4:32
If you're tired of waiting, somebody else should be willing to take up the reins. Find a trade rather than cutting him
He might rebound while you're looking for a swap

Choose one boring veteran on a hot streak to grab off the wire: Mesoraco, Choo, B. Crawford
Brad Johnson
4:32
Crawford tonight, Choo RoS

Traded Bellinger for Nola a week ago in a 4 keeper league. Did I make a mistake selling low?
Brad Johnson
4:33
For shallow keeper formats, I treat the keeper slots as redraft unless we're talking super elite talents
Neither of those players is a guaranteed top 48 player (assuming 12-team)
4:34
Nola may be more likely to be one than Bellinger
So I think this was ok if you needed pitching more than hitting

Rafael Devers or Rhys Hoskins in a keeper league? OBP + same keeper price
Brad Johnson
4:34
Devers
He's so young

How do you value Benintendi in a 5x5 dynasty? Is he an elite player as he was touted as...or is he just a solid OF who contributes a little bit everywhere? Would you move him for a chance at someone like Eloy Jiminez who could be elite in power?
Brad Johnson
4:35
First, I would not trade him straight up for Eloy, although it's a good start
Benintendi is super well-rounded, and it does make sense to cash out before he stops running. I think you can hold him a year or two more before worrying
In the meantime, a lack of standout categories doesn't stop a player from being valuable.
4:36
Well-rounded production is more valuable in my opinion. It gives you greater roster flexibility

Drop Junis and activate Cahill from DL? Also have Nola, Severino, Weaver, Castillo, Clevinger, Heaney, Newcomb, Pivetta. 12 Team mixed.
Brad Johnson
4:36
Yea, it's either Junis or Castillo
Lemon Droppit

Nimmo, Dahl, or Meadows RoS? Who gets the most PAs in their crowded outfield?
Brad Johnson
4:36
EZ Nimmo
4:37
If the Mets haven't realized he's an everyday starter, people need to start getting fired
