Brad Johnson

And if a trade isn't accomplishing that, it's not worth making. Because there's a good chance JRod will one day win you the league.

I have the following rookies and need to move or drop 1. Rank the following rookie SP’s for ROS, Allen, Abbott, and Woo?
Brad Johnson
1:46
I'd hang onto Abbott. The decision for me is do I want blandly acceptable (Allen) or volatile upside (Woo). Likely, you'll eventually move on from both so don't agonize too hard.

Think Presley is in trouble?
Brad Johnson
1:48
I can't tell tbh. His velos are all over the place outing to outing. That usually how I tell if he's working through one of his nagging injuries.
1:49
He might need a blow on the IL if he doesn't get back in the scoreless column soon. I doubt the Astros are in a rush to demote him though.

Does Xander ever shine in fantasy in the NL? Very underwhelmed by my "star" SS thus far.
Brad Johnson
1:49
I think you'll catch some brilliant moments. The Padres are going to score 60 runs one of these weeks.

Luis Severino. Will he ever get the slider and change up back? If no, is he droppable?
Brad Johnson
1:51
Since it's such an easily diagnosed problem, we can expect that he'll at least try. I don't really foresee it happening myself, but that's just a gut feeling. You could try to trade him for a similar headache like Lance Lynn.
It's fiction!
1:52
Are you seeing enough from Harris or Sears to warrant a roster spot (v. competitive 14T H2H 6X6 mixed)? My pitching is unsexy at best, Canning is out there but that's about it...
Brad Johnson
1:52
You mean Hogan Harris? I honestly haven't watched him yet. It can take me a minute to get around to some of the west coast guys who take the bump after I'm asleep.
1:53
Based on the stats, I don't see any reason to believe he's a MLB regular.
Canning seems a better play to me
JP

Why do I keep getting Brandon Lowe?
Brad Johnson
1:53
I don't know. I got him this year because he was so cheap.
1:54
I'll probably get him even more next year for the same reason

AJ Smith-Shawver can pick up some W's if he stays in the Braves rotation, but his ascend was so fast that I am not sure if he's in a streamable roster spot or a dynasty hold. Thoughts?
Brad Johnson
1:54
He's a hold in most dynasty formats. Maybe not in the shallower ones.

Better long term option in a dynasty  NL only league… Jordan Walker, Elly De La Cruz, or O’Neill Cruz?
Brad Johnson
1:55
Elly imo. They're all excellent prospects, but Elly is the closest to Fernando Tatis Jr. GodMode.
Cruz is a few BIG adjustments shy of Aaron Judge
1:56
Walker is more of a high floor budding superstar.
Mark

Should I stash Grayson Rodriguez in a redraft league?
Brad Johnson
1:56
Doesn't sound like Plan A to me, but I could see scenarios where I'd take that bet.
1:57
If you're not desperate, it's probably better to use that roster spot more actively.

Has the super two passed?
Brad Johnson
1:57
Probably! A lot of guys got called up pretty early this year, though late-season demotions could complicate matters.
Joseph
1:58
Thoughts on Emmett Sheehan? Pitched great in his debut but seems possible to get booted from rot after Urias return and theyre already talking about pushing his starts out a day or two, so guessing his innings cap is sooner than most
Brad Johnson
1:59
It was a weird debut, to say the least. No runs, didn't miss bats, gave up 3 missiles. Overused his fastball.
2:00
Based on that one outing alone, I'd say he wasn't ready and got away with it. The Triple-A numbers suggest he was very much ready. The Dodgers might have to ask themselves some hard questions about how they plan to pursue a playoff slot.

re: Williams - isn't Quantrill expected to take McKenzie's spot?
Brad Johnson
2:02
The guy with the luck neutral 5.61 ERA and injured shoulder? I don't think he's relevant to Williams' debut. The Guardians do seem hesitant to promote Williams.

Henry Davis worth a FA pickup?
Brad Johnson
2:02
Yea, assuming you don't have one of the few top-performing C

Should I drop Jung for Muncy when he returns?
Brad Johnson
2:02
No. Jung is the #2 3B. You can trade Jung and grab Muncy though.
Jon
2:03
10-team ESPN redraft league… Time to drop Alcantara? Or will he return to form? Has been a disaster this season, but still has almost 96% ownership.
Brad Johnson
2:03
I'm still in. Nothing in the peripherals concerns me.
Nate
2:03
Are any of these June call-ups worth adding in a dynasty league: Blake Sabol, Spencer Horwitz, or Jacob Amaya?
