Brad Johnson

I think he'll still be top 75
YU

Any hope that Salazar starts again before the end of next week?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Not really, seems like he's in the bullpen to prepare for the postseason
Jonathan
4:52
Chance Sisco gonna be a viable #2 Catcher next 1-5 years?
Brad Johnson
4:52
Theoretically
4:53
They have to give him room to play frequently
I kinda suspect he'll be a split time guy. Maybe it'll work like Tyler Flowers/Kurt Suzuki
Bob Villar
4:53
which 1B should i trade manny machado for?
Brad Johnson
4:54
Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Rizzo, Freddie Freeman, or similar
if it's a keeper, age is a consideration so I'd stay away from over 30 studs
since Machado is so young
Porcho Villa
4:54
Has Gausman turned a corner? Or is this just his usual run of 8/10 solid starts that makes us all overdraft him next year?
Brad Johnson
4:55
I'm going to bet the latter next draft season. I did this year.

Not trying to be snarky but I'm a Rangers fan and there's a zero percent chance that Choo plays a single inning in CF. Delino is going to lead off every game the rest of the way unless he gets hurt
Brad Johnson
4:56
I really doubt he's going to be a 100% start now that Calhoun is up and Beltre is around to DH
Red
4:57
Brad, are you going to be back on before the start of next week to lay out some great 2-start streamers for the championship week?
Brad Johnson
4:57
No, but you can pester Sporer!
4:58
2 start SPs aren't my specialty. I prefer one good start and RPs to two mediocre starts.
Oddball Herrera

Calhoun is a different animal from Hoskins because of that walk rate.  What he does look a LOT like is a potentially more powerful version of Maikel Franco
Brad Johnson
4:58
I wonder if you're a Phillies fan :)
4:59
I don't know about that Franco comp.
5:00
Franco has a lowish K rate despite a high SwStr%
Calhoun doesn't whiff (like Hoskins)
Brian
5:00
Whit at his true talent level or over his head?
Brad Johnson
5:00
Probably slightly over
5:01
I'd bet on a SB decline
Brian
5:01
Best career in order:  Devers, Belliger, Beni, Bregman, Hoskins.  Did I ace the quiz?
Brad Johnson
5:01
Ooh, that's a tough list of names to put in an order
5:02
I'm all in on Hoskins, but his age makes it hard to list him first
5:03
I'm going to say Bellinger, Hoskins, Bregman, Benintendi, Devers
I don't expect that to be popular
And it changes if the balls are fixed
5:04
Bellinger and Hoskins both have 50-60 grade power mixed with an ability to get ideal launch angles
They probably lose 10 HR apiece with the old balls
Porcho Villa
5:05
Choose 2/3 to start tomorrow: Gausman @ TOR, Glasnow @ MIL, Straily @ PHI.
Brad Johnson
5:05
Straily for sure
I think I'd do Gausman
Jonathan
5:05
Michael Taylor a Top 40 OF next year?
Brad Johnson
5:05
I'm not sure he'll start for the Nationals, at least not every day
5:06
it's the last year of Harper, they'll want Taylor to be a depth piece
Connecting…
