Brad Johnson

My first impression is it's a moderate overpay that makes perfect sense. You won't lose sleep over Steele or Davis so it's really about how much you might regret not having Elly these next 2 years.
1:21
As they say, flags fly forever. So long as you correctly identified needing HR/RBI over SB, that's a solid move.
Today's arms, tomorrow's sadness
1:21
How deep a league for Paxton vs Hou and Blackburn vs. Kc today?
Brad Johnson
1:21
12-team mixed for Paxton and like 20-team for Blackburn.

Safe to drop Wander given his off-field problems and uncertainty as to when (or whether) he will return?
Brad Johnson
1:22
Without getting into it, I would move on in redraft. You're kind of trapped for now in dynasty.
The Ends
1:22
Means worth a speculative add?
Brad Johnson
1:22
Sure, preferably if you don't have to use him
1:23
He's all about the fineness of his command. If he's off even a little, he gets hammered. I'm expecting rust.
Cards fan
1:23
3 keepers.  Im already keeping ohtani and adley.  But pick one between witt, elly, alonso
Brad Johnson
1:24
This is one of those situations where I'd delay the decision until the keeper deadline.
I'd also suggest reconsidering Adley. He'd be my #5, pending weird rules.

Is J.Heim rosterable in any re-draft league?
Brad Johnson
1:25
Absolutely, he's a solid mid-tier C
Jason Kendall
1:25
Bobby Witt Jr - SS #1? Who is ahead of him in overall player rankings?
Brad Johnson
1:26
Based on the FG Auction calc, Witt is 7th-best overall. Acuna, Ohtani, Olson, Freeman, Betts, Tucker

1:27
looking for saves in an NL only league, any suggestions?  I have Helsey on IL and have romero.  picked up graterol, all most obvious guys are already taken, any sleepers for saves in NL?
Brad Johnson
1:27
Could try Alvarado or Ginkel. I don't have any snappy leads on closers at the moment.

My son and I just won our 2023 fantasy baseball league and I was shocked to see it end so early. I had never seen that before. Are you seeing more baseball leagues end early to align with fantasy football?
Brad Johnson
1:28
This is early. My home dynasty league (the one I referenced earlier) has a roto "regular season" that ends next Sunday. But we have H2H playoffs through the last day.

What do you make of Alex Cobb's struggles?  Does he rebound or is he worth dropping (redraft league)
Brad Johnson
1:29
My instinct is it's a normal slump, maybe fatigue-related.
I do think you can move on in 12-team mixed and shallower
Even deeper leagues if he's just going to sit unused on your bench
Mountie or Canadian
1:30
Mountcastle or Chapman, ROS (OBP league)? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
1:30
Gimme Mountie, he's so locked in since recovering
Adrian
1:30
When can we expect Cedanne Rafaella to be called up? And if he is called up is he a sure add?
Brad Johnson
1:31
I think if the Red Sox thought he could help, he would have been up already. He's... a weird prospect.
The profile is all kinds of max volatility (think early Javy Baez) so treat him like a random number generator.
Pitcher to Keep
1:31
Odds that Carlos Hernandez gets the closer job next year? Would you rather keep him or Woo at similar cost? ($10 AL Only)?
Brad Johnson
1:31
I'd rather keep Woo
1:32
I do think Hernandez has a good shot at the role, but they'll probably bring in some vets to "compete." Brad Hand types.
JoJo Romero
1:32
Why is there no buzz about him for cheap saves? He’s consistently throwing in the 9th and the Cards have no reason to rush Helsley back (they’ve already delayed his rehab once).
Brad Johnson
1:33
Oh, I've been seeing a lot of buzz on him. He's more of a good middle reliever than a true closer, but it'll work in a pinch
Orioles Fanatic
1:33
Thoughts on Cole Irwin being the missing piece in rotation??
Brad Johnson
1:34
I like Irvin. He's a competent back-end guy.
You don't want him on a playoff roster. In fantasy, he's no more than a streamer in all but the deepest leagues.
Sort of like what I said about Means earlier, Irvin is at his best when his command is crisp and he's able to manipulate speed.

I see that my cousin "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has joined the chat
Prospect Hunting
1:35
Given both were called up to AA yesterday, would you say the ETAs for Dylan Crews and Ethan Salas have changed?
