Probably super utility. But it depends on some of the other guys coming through the system.

What is to make of Bryce Harper?
Brad Johnson
4:20
I dunno, he seems just like Bryce Harper to me.
Did you click the article above the chat window? Harper's a classic peaks and valleys guy.
4:21
Let's not forget, he had a screwy spring too
Pls Help
4:21
He's *SOOO* Close

Any reason to suggest La Stella's power is sustainable?
Brad Johnson
4:21
Sorta kinda
Like this isn't exactly unprecedented for him
4:22
The better question is... can he continue to walk nearly twice as much as he strikes out
The Angels in general don't. strike. out.
Chris Jacoby

C Seager or K Marte (is this for real?)
Brad Johnson
4:23
You're really testing me. If Seager wasn't batting second for the Dodgers, I might say Marte.
Put 'em both on the same roster and lineup slot, I prefer Marte.
He's a better athlete and his offensive profile has caught up to Seager's slumping one.

Mallex Smith going to come back up and be valuable again? or was last year a fluke?
Brad Johnson
4:25
So I noticed a few things about the Mariners schedule when they demoted him. He's hitting well in Triple-A (mucho small sample). I expect him back in short order.
Nolan
4:25
Mike Minor:  hold or stream in shallow 10-team?
Brad Johnson
4:25
I lean stream, but he's going to get snapped up if you send him back to the wire.

Do u think Robert Stephenson could pick up save opportunities? Also, do u think he could transition back to the rotation and be effective there if the need arises? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
4:26
Saves are far more likely than effective rotation work
Maybe he could Open or Follow. But that's hard to do in the NL.
I forgot, I meant to use OOTP to make a video about that...

lorenzo Cain is hurt now and was off to a slow start, do you believe he will rebound or is age slowly creeping in?
Brad Johnson
4:26
Both?
I heart beisbol
4:27
How much longer until Hiura gets called up to replace Shaw
Brad Johnson
4:28
Hiura's Triple-A performance is rather mixed. I don't think he'll do as well as people expect. Like I'd be surprised if he wasn't crushed by MLB pitching
4:29
Maybe good outcomes with a 35% K rate?
So I'm not sure how eager the Brewers will be to promote him. Comes down to what their own analytics guys are saying.
Siri

Do you think VanMeter earns anything close to full-time ABs?
Brad Johnson
4:30
I'd like him to at least get a couple weeks just to see if he can make something of it.
He was awfully Scooter Gennett in Triple-A (the good kind of Scooter)
Jim
4:30
Soria worth holding with a free spot till we hear about treinen?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Yea, Trivino first probably.
G
4:31
With Olson coming back today I have to drop someone.  Do you think Brian Dozier is drop worthy in a 12 team dynasty?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Yea, I prefer Olson to Dozier if that's the question.
I heart beisbol
4:31
Sooo still better than Shaw?
Brad Johnson
4:31
That's tough to say
Shaw is befuddling. I'd like to see a phantom IL stint to get him some easy minors ABs
