Brad Johnson
4:12
He was so bad last week and has a tougher opponent tonight
4:13
Situationally, it can make sense.

Muncy or Aguilar ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:13
Muncy for me. Aguilar has 10 grade speed on the 20-80 scale
and while that's not especially important, I just don't like guys who can't move at all

my last 3 trades: Matt Carpenter for Carlos Carrasco, Jack Flaherty and Rafael Devers for Nelson Cruz, and Max Muncy for Yasiel Puig (obviously that looks bad now). 10 team h2h, OBP. Did I do good?
Brad Johnson
4:15
Yes, yes, no

Do you think maeda is underrated?
Brad Johnson
4:15
No
4:16
He's a good pitcher who makes short starts, misses plenty of starts, and in the words of one industry contact "has the worst medicals I've ever seen."
The same contact has said the same about Masahiro Tanaka and a few other pitchers
I think he just hates pitchers

Almost got busted by my boss for laughing at your Aguilar speed comment.  Thanks a lot Brad!
Brad Johnson

I do my best

Joey Gallo is known for making adjustments?
Brad Johnson
4:17
It's counterintuitive because he whiffs nearly everything, but if he hadn't adjusted in literally every season of his career, he would have a 90% strikeout rate.
4:18
Everyone who works with him gushes over his baseball acumen

Get Pivetta or Gibson over C. Anderson or Wheeler? Or both?
Brad Johnson
4:19
I'd do either over Anderson. I'm fuzzy on Wheeler. I can't tell if he's good now or lucky
Tremp

What do you make of CarMart? He's had bumps recently but do you think he's good to go for ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:19
Some risk, lots of reward
Be careful short term. Bench him if you can afford to (I can't)

Thoughts on Y. Guriel ROS?   Can he be my everday 1B or should I just ride him while hot?
Brad Johnson
4:19
So he was showing some signs of a breakout late last year on the power front
4:20
then he had the injury this spring
I forget if it was a thumb or hamate
either way, he returned SUPER early
So it's not surprising his power is finally starting to show up
I think he can work as an everyday 1B in 12 team or deeper
Matt D
4:20
I have to drop Pivetta or Cahill soon when the latter comes off the DL.  Is this a ceiling/floor thing or do you like 1 better ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:20
Cahill has had like 4 different injuries in the last calendar year
4:21
And after at least one of them, he returned considerably worse
I think Pivetta may be a hair safer. It's basically a coin flip though
