Fantasy Baseball Chat with Brad Johnson: 6/20/22
powered byJotCast
Vince

Riley Greene or Tommy Pham ROS? 12-team, OBP, redraft league.
Brad Johnson
1:12
Pham is the percentage play. Greene's the guy to go to if you need a miracle.
Houzer
1:13
If AAbrams hits, would the Padres consider moving him to 2B to keep him up?
Brad Johnson
1:13
You mean when Tatis is back? Absolutely. It could also be Tatis who moves if Abrams shows as a plus defender.
1:14
Obviously, they're going to have to coexist for a long time.
Beoken Bat
1:14
Hey, loves the cuts but really would like MLBTR to list a schedule of these ahead of time. Any chance?
Brad Johnson
1:14
I'll bring it up with Tim!
1:15
But I can also say, I do this every other week at noon central. Rarely, I have to reschedule for a different day.
The off weeks are private chats for the Front Office subscribers. Same format, but you're almost guaranteed to get your question answered.
Which Catcher
1:16
Which Catcher should I own long term from Kirk, Jansen or Moreno?
Brad Johnson
1:16
I think Kirk is the best bat of that bunch. Only wrong answer is Jansen.
Kirk is DH-ish.
Anthony
1:16
Is Martin perez a sell high or do you think he has value ROS?
Brad Johnson
1:17
Absolutely sell high if you're getting tempting offers
In general, the sell high thing only works if folks are coming to you with offers.
If you reach out to them pushing Perez, they'll probably smell a trap
1:19
Buying low is similar. If you want to buy low on someone, come in with a big offer for some other shiny piece then, when it doesn't quite work out, try to use what you learned to grab the buy-low bit.
Drew
1:19
William Contreras or Garver?
Brad Johnson
1:19
Contreras
Both are quite good though.
How low on Bryant?
1:19
Muncy for Bryant too much?
Brad Johnson
1:19
Well... I'll just say that's a complicated offer
Lot to unpack on Muncy.
1:20
That looks like a fair challenge trade to me. I would prefer to sell on someone playing over their head. Like Martin Perez!

Trout for McClanahan fair?
Brad Johnson
1:21
Uh, no.
McClanahan is a fair starting point. But he needs to be joined by 1-2 more good players.
Buzzie B
1:21
Adell for Bogaerts??
Brad Johnson
1:22
Dynasty? Fair. Redraft? Bogaerts in a landslide.
Dave
1:22
Sell high on Luke Voit, with the expectation that he’ll crater soon, or has he rediscovered his 2020 swing?
Brad Johnson
1:23
You can try to sell high. I don't think he's tapping into 2020 or anything. He's just a nice tidy slugger who has lower body and core issues.
1:24
I like him as an affordable HR play fwiw
Lil Stu
1:24
Thoughts on Strider ROS? Beautiful mustache
Brad Johnson
1:24
I'd prefer for the Braves to not bounce him between roles. He's a future closer. I'd rather he work a 1-2 IP role now than risk injury by asking him to try every role.
1:25
Excellent pitcher though. Doesn't really have the repertoire to start.
I said the same of Lance McCullers and look how that turned out!
1:26
I also said the same of Jhoan Duran and dozens of other former SP-turned-good-RP.
When a guy looks like a reliever, they're almost always a reliever.
TERMINATOR 2 was the best
1:26
It’s been roughly two months of “hold or sell” instead or “buy” for Bieber, but his ratios seem to be holding steady. If I’m in a bit of a pitching hole, can we consider him a buy in exchange for some surplus power or should I put my focus on other arms first?
Brad Johnson
1:26
It's price dependent, for sure.
