Just picked up Joc for $1. Thinking about trying to trade for a rental Cespedes, but hesitant on what to give up. Think it's worth the gamble, or do you think I already have Cespedes' risk/reward for cheaper in Pederson?
Brad Johnson
4:26
Get Cespedes

Is Brent Suter this good?
Brad Johnson
4:27
You mean is he league average starter? No, probably not.
He's induced a lot of soft contact, but I'm not sure it's a repeatable skill
if it is, then he's a MLB pitcher
if not, then he isn't

Was Eric not doing his chat today?
Brad Johnson
4:28
I know nothing of the chatting habits of others. I chat every Tuesday unless I have a conflict. Which has been regrettably often this season

Dickey or Sabathia in points ROS? On a related note, kill me.
Brad Johnson
4:28
oh god. Dickey's the hot hand
Tim

Gave up Alonso for Nova since I needed a somewhat decent arm to replace Pineda. Think I got enough?
Brad Johnson
4:29
It's not ideal, but sometimes it's better to pull the trigger quickly than to squeeze out all the pennies

Move Belt/Andrew Miller for Quintana in dynasty points? Need an SP but not sure if it matches value wise.
Brad Johnson
4:29
I like that
Belt is a good 1B, but his production tends to be easy to replace
4:30
That said, I don't think it's a must-trade if you're enjoying Miller's dominance
reliever do tend to asplode and he's had some elbow issues
then again, SP also asplode
helpful advice, eh?
CK
4:30
Tell us something only the real Brad Johnson would know
Brad Johnson
4:31
Everybody thinks it's clever to make a joke about the football player. It's not.

MadBum in re-draft: buy/sell/hold?
Brad Johnson
4:31
buy always
Frank
4:31
favorite buy low hitter rest of season?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Same definition as before - somebody bad who should be better...
4:33
Cargo, Peraza (if you need SB), Villar (same), Nunez (same), Doobie Herrera, Story, DJLM, Schwarber, K Seager. Of those, my favorites are Seager, Schwarber, and Nunez

McCullers and Jay Bruce for Murphy in OBP/QS League?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Sure.
Matt W
4:33
Should I start to worry about McCullers?
Brad Johnson
4:33
You should always worry about McCullers. Has trouble staying healthy and/or reaching the sixth inning
CK
4:33
is the Padres rotation secretly good?
Brad Johnson
4:34
It's not the disaster we all predicted. Except for Weaver. That was worse than I expected. And I expected a whole heap of bad
Matt
4:35
Over the last three years, my 12-team roto has had 4 team-seasons over 4.00 ERA. So far this year, that's the median. Why is pitching so bad?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Everybody is hurt or susceptible to the swing changes everybody has made
it'll take a couple years to start producing pitchers who work effectively near the top of the zone. Meanwhile, a few Dan Strailys will emerge out of nowhere

Follow-up: How "real" is Bellinger? ROS guess? Production comp? Guess at next year's draft slot?
Brad Johnson
4:36
I think the power is the one thing we'll see revert to a 25 HR pace
otherwise, more or less real, pending any holes
never know when a fatal flaw will be found. He doesn't seem to have one though
