So Price is back?  Or was that due to bad competition?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Not back
Just not bad
He's in the wily veteran phase of his career
4:38
CC's been doing it for a decade. Cliff Lee lasted like 7 starts before cratering
All of which is to say that I don't know what Price will be in 2 months or 2 years
Confortobly numb
4:38
Where are the Ks for Clev? Struck out over 10 dudes/9 last year.
Brad Johnson
4:39
Near as I can tell, his command and/or control improved and now he's no longer effectively wild
I'm quietly trying to buy shares (shh)

You think Justin Turner at good keeper price for Yelich (not especially great keeper price) a fair deal? Which side do you prefer.
Brad Johnson
4:40
Yelich for 2018
Turner's old enough that I'm not worrying about keeper value until the season is over
Adam

When do you think vlad jr will come up
Brad Johnson
4:41
Well until a couple weeks ago, my answer was late-April 2018 to late-April 2019. They're going to have trouble going much beyond the Super 2 cutoff at this rate.
Dov

Is Samardjzilla whatever his name is droppable in a 14 teamer?
Brad Johnson
4:42
That's a little deep to drop him, but I wouldn't start him at Coors Field

Did you notice that Price's "carpel tunnel syndrome" popped up right before his start against the yanks (who completely own him) and then was quickly healed right after?
Brad Johnson
4:42
I didn't
As someone with transient carpel tunnel, that shit can be a nuisance one day then disappear for five months
4:43
He probably actually played too much Fortnite

10 team mixed roto, should I trade Donaldson straight up for Felipe Vasquez? Both are hurt, and my only closers are Boxberger and Rodney *fart noises*
Brad Johnson
4:43
You should not
If Vazquez wasn't hurt, I'd say sure
I'm not buying this quick recovery
4:44
the symptoms as described require at least a couple weeks of no throwing
Joey Boom Bats

Public Service Announcement: Jameson Taillon now has a slider. He threw it 30+ times last start, with a 23% whiff rate. It appears (from the eye test) to be a plus pitch from out of nowhere. Someone should write it up.
Brad Johnson
4:44
I'll take this to Slack
John

Is Tropeano a good streamer against Detroit?
Brad Johnson
4:45
He is
Michael
4:45
joe musgrove worth owning in a 12 team mixed keeper league?
Brad Johnson
4:45
He is
He had his bullpen velocity
4:46
I'm grabbing as many shares as I can
Stonecutter
4:46
Pillar or Deshields RoS?
Brad Johnson
4:46
EZ DeShields

I’ve got Margot in my 20 team 6x6 roto where 240 are kept. I’m trying to contend this year. What to do with Manny?
Brad Johnson
4:46
Probably have to hold him
Can shop him around to see if anyone bites
Guest
4:46
I know you meant in the baseball sense, but hasn't Price's media interactions disqualified him from the term "wiley"?
Brad Johnson
4:47
I dunno, if I played for the Red Sox, I'd spend a quarter of my time pranking their media
