Brad Johnson
4:08
I don't think he'll run as much as people expect, whiffs will be a problem, and accessing power in game could be an issue too
I'm not going out of my way to acquire him in redraft
4:09
that said, surprises happen. Bradley Zimmer profiled as only slightly better and he's been quite solid, albeit in a way that could fall apart at any moment
Big Tuna
4:09
If I need HR in a 12 tm, could I get away trading Yelich for Schebler or Duvall?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Upgrade a CL in the deal too
but yea, I'd prefer Schebler to Yelich at this point
LegallyEagle
4:10
If Brad Hand gets traded to the Nats, will he be slotted in as the closer?
Brad Johnson
4:10
They almost have to try it, no?
That bullpen is a mess
they really need to add multiple arms. Treinen is starting to look better too
Big Tuna
4:11
Is this recent power surge from Moreland legit?
Brad Johnson
4:11
I worry about the thumb injury
Porcho Villa
4:11
Any hope for a Thames turnaround? Obviously he's not getting back to his Bonds-ian April, but he has looked really bad for the past two months.
Brad Johnson
4:11
He's been fine, power's still there. Had that period where he was playing hurt. He's a low average, high OBP, high power guy
weezy
4:12
I'm desparate at SS in a 15 team keeper. Now that Gleyber (injury) and Barreto (already held) are off the table, is there any other SS who gets called worthy of starting?
Brad Johnson
4:12
Tyler Wade?
K Broxton vs. A Altherr
4:12
In a 12-team mixed keeper league (5x5), who ya got?
Brad Johnson
4:12
Broxton has the ceiling, Altherr is a high floor bat
Big Tuna
4:12
Is Mallex Smith worth owning in a 12 tm if I'm doing well in steals without him?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Somebody should own him. You can let him go to someone else or try to hoard the category and leverage a good swap
Attila the Hunplugged
4:13
Who are some lesser known guys in the minors who could go nuts on the basepaths later in the season?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Zach Granite jumps to mind
He leads the International League in batting average. He isn't making outs
dynasty prospects
4:14
Triston McKenzie vs. Dominic Smith: McKenzie, right?
Brad Johnson
4:15
That's either a push or Smith for me. I'll admit, I'm quite impatient. I'm also edgy about waiting 3 years for a pitcher.
I'd rather try to catch the Alex Woods and other breakouts
Roberto Alomar
4:15
Needs saves...have Kahnle, Doolittle, and Bedrosian stashed, Arodys is owned, who else could inherit a closer role? SF? KC? SD?
Brad Johnson
4:16
Hand or Neshek could be traded into one. Or just promoted. Kela and LeClerc might inherit from Bush
Baryolo Cologne
4:16
Do you forsee Alex Wood as a Top 5 pitcher the ROS? What about 2018 outlook?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Probably the 5-10 range for both until we see otherwise
Perl
4:17
Pollock ($13) and Story ($11) for Sale ($35) Ottoneu 5x5 which side wins?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Good swap
Long term, the position players probably win. Now, I'd prefer Sale
Moltar
4:17
Will the wrist injury and move to 3B zap some of Freeman's value? Should I try to sell him before he returns?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Go ahead and look into it. Never know when somebody will go crazy
Cee Jay
4:18
Hanley Ramirez?  Be patient or time to move on?
Brad Johnson
4:18
Depends on the format. The shoulder injury isn't going away
I dream of Biagini
4:18
137 starters have thrown 30IP since Biagini became a starter (May 7th). His ranks during that time:
7th in GB%, 23rd in FIP, 25th in HR/9, 32nd in BB/9
but he's 136 of 137 in LOB% at 53%. League average is 72.5%LOB, this has to normalize, right?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Not sure. I don't have a good read on him. I do know he's very SB prone which doesn't help
Obviously, all those other indicators are interesting
