Brad Johnson

These aren't really difference makers, but they're worthy of fliers in deep formats (i.e. 20-team).

2:04

Robertson or Pressly ROS? Saves only league.

Brad Johnson

2:04

Push, only because Pressly is slumping and those slumps seem correlated with his IL stints.

Pressly is usually the better pitcher

Is Hunter Greene finally going to put it all together for more than a long stretch? He has the tools, no?

Brad Johnson

2:05

Ah, that's debatable. I think he'll always be someone who matches well against some opponents and poorly versus others.

Like, if he only played the Rays, I think he'd have a 5.50 ERA.

2:06

I bet he would be one of Aaron Judge's favorite pitchers

Eddie Harris

2:06

Keeper League question. Is it time to stop holding stock in DL Hall? Seems he has regressed and is destined to the bullpen.

Brad Johnson

2:07

Yes, you can downgrade expectations for Hall imo

The good outcomes are still possible, but the path is getting harder to follow\

BoSox in NY

2:07

Hi. Can I say this is a successful year for Red Sox based on viewing Bello, Whitlock and Houck as a foundation for a young rotation going forward?

Brad Johnson

2:09

I mean, I think the Red Sox should view themselves as a possible playoff team. It's a successful year period thus far. They're only like 2 GB of a WC, right? (albeit behind 3 teams for that one spot)

Hypothetical GM

2:09

Apart from Ohtani and Acuna, who rounds put your top 5 Fantasy Players ROS

Brad Johnson

2:09

Time to start wrapping up as I ponder this Q

2:11

I want to say Corbin Carroll, Fernando Tatis, and...

2:12

JRod, Judge (if back soon), Soto, and Betts are top of my list

Broken bat

2:12

who would you use in snake bullpen as closer?

Brad Johnson

2:12

McGough

Bobby Bonilla

2:12

Is Anthony Rendon in the top 3 of worst signings in history?

Brad Johnson

2:12

Nope. There have been some bad signings

Arizona

2:13

Is Kelly a sell high candidate or trade now?

Brad Johnson

2:13

I think you can look at him either way - sell high or hold. He seems to have made legitimate gains, but if you can cash that in for something that helps you win, then do it.

Guest

2:13

Why is nobody talking about Braxton Garrett?

Brad Johnson

2:13

Check out Twitter, he's a very popular talking point.

2:14

I haven't watched him recently so I've been skipping the many questions about him. I don't have anything to add.

Joseph

2:14

Next impact prospect you see getting the call? Westburg?

Brad Johnson

2:14

Christian Encarnacion-Strand would be my guess.

Gavin Williams maybe

2:15

Westburg could be hit or miss in his first stint.

Luis Robert

2:15

If I am going to get traded in a dynasty, wouldn't this be the prime time do so considering my history of health problems?

Brad Johnson

2:15

If you subscribe to the "better to be a year early than a year late" theory, then yes, it's a fine time to sell for a suitably excellent asset.

2:16

Maybe start by combining him with a few other present-value guys for a Carroll type.

IMO

2:16

I would have said Judge, JRod, & Bichette

Brad Johnson

2:17

I'm not that keen about Bichette personally. It all works together, but it's one of those profiles that plays up with the help of all of the parts. If he loses anything, he turns ordinary very fast.

Witt

2:17

Should I try and trade Witt for something since the Royals suck

Brad Johnson

2:18

I wouldn't do that just yet. He's one of the best fantasy players even though he isn't even having a good year.

2:19

I'd give him a chance to figure things out on his own.

Volpe

2:19

Should I stop hoping that Volpe will turn it around soon?
