Brad Johnson

So we've triangulated the following thus far: Camargo<Polanco<Moncada/Semien
The relationship between Semien/Moncada has yet to be ascertained.
Rick
12:33
Shark pitched OK yesterday...gave up 2 dingers and only K'd 2 i believe.  Does he suck?  I've been holding all year and I think I hate him.
Brad Johnson
12:33
He probably sucks. Lemme look at the latest peripherals
12:34
All those homers in the minors are not promising
Chili Davis

I've asked this question before, but can we get an article on how to exactly use the projection systems?  What's the difference between the Update and the ROS?  I'd like to find a system for future value so that I can evaluate trades and add/drops, etc.
Brad Johnson
12:35
Use the Depth Charts (R)
they're an even blend of ZIPS and Steamer with playing time set by a FanGraphs staffer
12:36
If you prefer a more aggressive projection based on current performance, THE BAT fits the bill
12:37
Personally, I do not recommend using projections to evaluate fantasy decisions in mid-July. Custom analysis should be more accurate.
A projection will tell you to sell Max Muncy for anything at all
for example
Kyle
12:37
What do I do with Godly? Is there any other struggling pitcher I should target for?
Brad Johnson
12:37
Either hold and hope he figures it out, or see if somebody else is prepared to play the waiting game.
As for targets...
12:38
Ken Giles, Roberto Osuna, Velasquez, Gibson, Keuchel, Fulmer, Gausman, Gray (either), and Wheeler come to mind
Gibson
12:40
J Polonco, Marte, or Solarte in a OBP/SLG league?
Brad Johnson
12:40
Ketel Marte?
Probably Solarte
Similar assets
Fredrick
12:40
Conforto is still worth keeping in a 20 team keep-up-to-15 league right? hes been so bad :/
Brad Johnson
12:40
Very much so
12:41
Treat him as a top asset in this format
Jay
12:41
Is this the real Zunino?  I have been putting off a change, but time to roll with Barnhart, Gomes, Chirinos?
Brad Johnson
12:41
I don't think so. Zunino has always been so streaky. Which makes sense for a .200 hitter with power.
12:42
Just wait for the good times to roll. You should have been prepared for this when you signed up.
Eli
12:42
You catch any of Borucki's start yesterday? Kid looked good after the first inning. Think he sticks around in Toronto's rotation all season?
Brad Johnson
12:43
Sorry, I did not. Decent chance he does, although I'd expect unrosterable numbers.
Doesn't have the history of whiffs or command necessary to quickly transition to the majors.
Rollie's Mustache
12:43
Where does DeJong fit into that middle infield name train? He's off the DL soon I think.
Brad Johnson
12:44
He's top dog
So... Camargo<Polanco<Semien/Moncada<DeJong
Could be wrong about DeJong though
brood550
12:44
10 teamer, 2 catcher league, is snagging Astudillo smart since he has a pathway to everyday time right now?
Brad Johnson
12:44
Seems reachy, but if you're starting dross it can't hurt
Tim
12:45
Shelby Miller has 11 Ks in 8.2 innings of work. That's pretty solid stuff.    Think he tightens up his control a bit and is a useful back end SP ROS?
Brad Johnson
12:45
Quite possible
Fair flier although you'll have to wait to use him
Notably, his velocity is where it was last season
A
12:45
What do you think about Schoop ROS?
