Brad Johnson
1:51
Not for me. I strongly prefer Jazz, though I understand being frustrated and trying for something "safer."
Keep two for 2024 Dynasty
1:51
Judge/Seager/Lindor/Goldschmidt
Brad Johnson
1:51
Judge obviously.
1:52
Probably Seager for the second. There's no wrong choice with that group. I have Goldy last fwiw.
Schanuel
1:52
how much time does he see ROS? Were you surprised to see him called up?
Brad Johnson
1:53
That depends on C.J. Cron. I was not surprised. I actually called it out in last week's subscriber chat as a possibility.
He obviously won't displace Ohtani from DH, but he should play everyday until Cron recovers.
RaysMan
1:53
Would Caminero or Williams be called up first in your opinion if the Wander situation goes sour??
Brad Johnson
1:53
My guess is both.
1:54
They skipped Williams past Double-A with poor early results (15 PA)
1:55
They might be more comfortable with him defensively. Or else they're just less concerned about messing with his head compared to Caminero.
Chourio
1:55
Hi Brad.  Why do you have him behind Crews and Caminaro?  Top 5 dynasty ranking is still good, but why not just behind Holliday?
Brad Johnson
1:56
tbh, it's splitting hairs. That's a heady top 5 list. I think Crews and Caminero might be a little more impactful in counting stats.
Vargas or Cowser
1:57
Do either of them get recalled? I believe they’re hitting better at AAA
Brad Johnson
1:57
Cowser has hit well in 5 games. Vargas has superficially good stats but only a 114 wRC+ with below average EVs.
1:58
I think they'll be back. Cowser might wind up behind Kjerstad/Mayo though.
Mauricio
1:58
With his recent struggles, does he get the call?
Brad Johnson
1:59
I mean, I would have just called him up after the deadline. Like, what are you trying to develop with him anyway? He's Javy Baez without the god-mode tags. Let him start to acclimate.
Offensively, he's shown no signs of learning anything at any level. Maybe there's a defensive explanation.
James Wood
1:59
Do I trade him? He’s a high rated prospect but hitting in the low .220’s at AA
Brad Johnson
2:00
Depends on the format. He's exciting but not without risk.
Senga
2:00
Could he get shut down due to workload and standings?
Brad Johnson
2:00
That's possible. I haven't heard anything.
Likelier he gets extra rest and shorter outings.
Guest

H2H points, weekly lineups, do I start Duran or O’Neill?  Also Alzolay or Finnegan? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
2:01
I'd go Duran and Alzolay.
But you need to think about what stats you're targeting with the hitters.
Jaxon
2:01
Does Jackson Holliday come up for the last month of the season?
Brad Johnson
2:01
I really don't think so. But I won't say no.
2:02
Orioles are hard to read. He certainly could upgrade their playoff roster.
Nola and Javier
2:02
I've been holding on to both for the entire season hoping they'll turn it around. Is it time to cut bait on 1 or both? I don
Brad Johnson
2:03
I'd hang onto Nola. And Javier is a low-key buy if you need to toss a pitching Hail Mary.
I'm not a fan of extreme fly ball pitchers because this inevitably happens. And then you don't know what to do.
2:04
"this" being 1.40 HR/9
Candelario
2:04
Can I justify a spot for him anymore when I have Casa, Diaz and Mountcastle on a hot streak right now?
Brad Johnson
2:04
Probably not.
Time for me to wrap it up
DaveFord
2:04
Torkelson has arrived!  35 100 next season?
Brad Johnson
2:05
I'm not that enthusiastic yet, but he's moving in the right direction. I see him as a .225 hitter with around 25 HR/600 PA
2:06
The swing still has exploitable elements.
