Brad Johnson

4:35

And that's where you play today

Edubs

4:35

Re: Urias - worth holding him in a dynasty league? It's QS, but I can keep him forever and drafted him for $1 (10 team deep mixed).

Brad Johnson

4:35

Yes

4:35

Sentzel, A. Rosario, Albies, R. Tapia, Happ, Alfaro- which guys will help me this year in NL only?

Brad Johnson

4:36

I'm most confident that we'll see Alfaro playing regularly

the others don't have a great path to PT, although the upside is perhaps higher

Moelicious

4:36

Other than the fact that he is throwing hard and he has a great offense behind him, what is there to like about Morton? His plate discipline numbers are below average. Below average swinging strike, chase and contact rates.

Brad Johnson

4:37

Great breaking ball which he's pairing with some higher fastballs (hence the decline in GB rate). Plus or better command in the early innings. I'm hopeful he improves at holding onto it

There's a chance he's better used like Devenski

Billy Beane

4:37

How do you feel abour Kiermaier? I liked him but I'm ready to cut bait because of his K rate.

Brad Johnson

4:38

Always been kinda ambivalent

He's somebody I'd like to stream, but he's just good enough to stick on someone else's roster if I cut him

Zorn

4:38

Are you holding Cotton in 12 team H2Hs?

Brad Johnson

4:38

Sure, absent alternatives

toki

4:38

Hypothetically speaking. If Bellinger went crazy and hits say 5 hrs with a .500+OB before they have to make a decision and Toles ends up at say.190OB. Would that change the outcome possibly?

Brad Johnson

4:38

Sure.

Prok McGok

4:38

ROS: C Seager or Lindor?

Brad Johnson

4:39

Lindor

Weezy

4:39

still high on Graveman? Some of his peripherals are looking shaky.

Brad Johnson

4:40

I did warn you he's done this before to me. Always comes out of the gate looking like a monster. One of these years he'll get it. Or his arm will die

I'm concerned

Prok McGok

4:40

If Bryce Harper played in Colorado or NYY, would you select him #1 in a re-draft over Trout?

Brad Johnson

4:40

but I would pick him #2

Jim-Bob

4:40

Tommy Joseph has X weeks left of rope before the Phils move on to Hoskins. Solve for X?

Brad Johnson

4:40

I don't think Hoskins is the real threat

4:41

Aaron Altherr, via Howie Kendrick, is the threat

and Altherr is already making a bid for everyday PT

Hoskins isn't on the 40-man roster, and the Phillies have a crowded 40-man

4:42

No matter how good he's hitting, he'll need a 60-day DL stint from someone to get a spot

Chip

4:42

How about a BJohnson hot take on Byung Ho Park? Thanks for chatting with us!

Brad Johnson

4:42

I can't even muster a room temperature take

4:43

So as far as I'm aware, he's rehabbing a hammy

any other reason why you want to know something about him? (I won't see your response in the flood)

diadem

4:44

DeLarosa worth stashing as Rodney insurance?

Brad Johnson

4:44

This spelling made me think of Mark DeRosa

I own DeRosa in one of my fantasy leagues

it's set in 2006

JRuby

4:44

Re Tommy Joseph, is it possible that the Phils send Stassi down, bring Quinn up, and platoon Saunders and Joseph at 1B?

Brad Johnson

4:45

Anything is possible.
