Much later
To the point that they're bargains
Will
5:06
You willin' to bet on Willians as your catcher next year?
Brad Johnson
5:06
If you mean to ask if I'll be keeping him for $8... no.
Slurve
5:06
What do we make of the Indians overall record - given the nature of their terrible division and talented team?
Brad Johnson
5:07
They worked through some bad pitching, particularly out of the bullpen
The whole team is getting back on track at the right time
Lineup is still top heavy
Time to wrap things up, I have a lot of roster games to play before lineups lock tonight
Ryan
5:07
Your anticipated Andujar trade opens up 3B in NY for . . . Machado?
Brad Johnson
5:08
Machado with Donaldson or a 2B as the backup prize
And Gleyber moving to 3B if necessary
but... I'm more looking at it as a way for them to acquire a premium pitcher.
I don't think they trade him purely to create an opportunity for a signing
Ryan

Last year it was Altuve, this year it was Betts; before that it was Donaldson and Cabrera.  Which AL player next year will challenge Trout for the best season?
Brad Johnson
5:09
Fantasy or reality?
5:10
I think the safe picks are Bregman, Ramirez, and Lindor
If you want a more interesting choice...
5:11
Well I don't have one
The thing about predicting an actual breakout is that they're mostly unpredictable
5:12
My job is to analyze who players are right now. Which stops as soon as the data stops flowing
The players continue changing over the offseason.
Bregman, Ramirez, and Lindor were all better this year than they were at the end of last season
Smark

What's the shallowest league you'd need to play in to draft Jose Urena as more than a spot starter?
Brad Johnson
5:13
He's a spot guy in 15 redraft
He's a spot guy in 20 team dynasty
But he'd definitely be a regular in 20 team redraft
5:14
So 16 or 18 team redraft I guess
Smark
5:14
Have you played Ottoneu's h2h? I love the format but never played it with such deep rosters? Worth a shot?
Brad Johnson
5:14
I'm in an epic finals battle with Nick Pollack of Pitcher List. My 21-1-0 roster might finally lose its second game. I need to come back.
It's a fun wrinkle
Trent
5:14
Aside from Buehler, which rookie pitcher from 2018 do you like best for 2019?
Brad Johnson
5:14
Shane Bieber leaps immediately to mind
5:15
And on that note, I'm gonna wander off.
Good game folks
Rocco
5:15
Freeland or Marquez as a keeper for next year?
Brad Johnson
5:15
Marquez
hscer
5:15

Brad Johnson
5:15
Very
A nice surprise even
Connecting…
