Brad Johnson

I'd hang onto Springs for now
1:49
Since the struggling aces are mostly struggling due to new rules, I don't want to spend somebody who's adjusted when I could be left holding a pumpkin.
Kevin B

Is it time to drop Meneses for a hot bat?
Brad Johnson
1:49
Definitely can do
Josh
1:50
Worried at all about Corbin Burnes?
Brad Johnson
1:50
Yea, barely
I'm still buying, especially if his owner is panicking

How to value Trea Turner in a dynasty league….
Brad Johnson
1:51
Highly! It depends so much on league depth that I can't really be more specific.
If you're rebuilding, the easiest way to trade a guy like Turner is to add to him for a JRod type
1:52
If you're looking to acquire him, well that's very situational.
Turang and Wiemer
1:52
Will they stick with the team? Both have done well early
Brad Johnson
1:52
Turang should
He's, at worst, their best utility guy
And he isn't the sort of prospect a team frets about getting full time reps.
1:53
If he happens to be on a bench 4 times a week, that's OK.
Obviously, not the desired fantasy outcome
Wiemer has to really put up to stick around. They've got such an interesting pool of outfielders.
SPs vs RPs
1:53
In my 10 team AL only, I find myself streaming starters and focusing on them, while most owners target high leverage relievers. Where do you come down on this strategy?
Brad Johnson
1:54
This is a matter of roster management. If your needs are adding more IP, then you're doing the right thing.
If your IP are set, then you can worry about upping the quality on the margin with RP. In recent seasons, the bulk reliever game hasn't worked well.
Tim H
1:55
thinking of flipping him + some bench filler for Tim Anderson, Jazz, and Jordan Lawler
Brad Johnson
1:55
This is related to Trea Turner. I think that passes muster on value.

10 team keeper league. Should I trade Betts for Nola? My team is built on pitching as is.
Brad Johnson
1:55
That's a light return for Betts
1:56
A package starting with Nola is appropriate
Chris
1:56
Why isn't Mackenzie Gore being talked about more? Has he turned a corner? Expectations for the rest of the year?
Brad Johnson
1:57
I'm not in yet. He's another guy I haven't watched yet. I'm aware of the stats which suggest he's still struggling with command issues.
I think opponents will adjust
I won't be in until it's too late, fwiw
David

Who has more upside? Miguel Vargas os Outman?
Brad Johnson
1:57
Outman has more upside, but I want Vargas more.
1:58
If it works out for Outman, he's a regular 30/10 threat.
1:59
Vargas is more of a 15-20 HR guy but with a much higher floor

Are you ESPN, Yahoo or other in terms of your fantasy playing?
Brad Johnson
1:59
Presently, I do not have a preferred platform. They all have notable problems that make me grumpy
2:00
Ottoneu would be my favorite if they offered a wider range of game types
Hunter Greene
2:00
He’s failed to go 5 innings in his first two starts. Not going to panic, but he seems like a run of the mill high WHIP guy with huge K potential that happens to throw 100. Should I lower the original expectations I had earlier for him as a top of the line ace?
Brad Johnson
2:01
Yes, I don't see him as an ace at this time. He's a full breakout away.
He'll have elite days and bad ones
