Brad Johnson

Well, the power numbers he's shown are fluky so I think you CAN move on. That said, if there isn't much out there, it might be challenging to make a fair trade with the waiver wire. In 16-team, a good 10 teams should have a spot for him.

Why would someone drop Buxton?  And why only $20-25 and not the whole $36
Brad Johnson
1:21
I'm assuming no $0 bids.
1:22
So you gotta leave yourself 10+ moves ROS.
1:23
If there's $0 bids, then the whole $36 is fine. But an even better strategy is to +$1 whoever has the most money below you. So if a team has $25 to spend and another has $45, you bet $26 under the assumption that the team above you either goes in at $37 or their whole $45.

Jimenez or Trivino as A's closer in 2nd half
Brad Johnson
1:24
Pretty likely Trivino is traded. If he isn't, it's because he's had more meltdowns.
And he won't close for a new team.
He's a middle reliever
1:25
Jimenez isn't exactly a lock to close either. Probably see a committee of sorts with Puk and Jackson.
Leody Taveras
1:25
I'm skeptical but his avg EV of 90.4 mph does show he's making consistent hard contact.  Do you think Leody has potentially turned the corner to become a regular major leaguer and above average fantasy OF?
Brad Johnson
1:25
I'm not entirely sure about the fantasy side of things, but he's a MLB-caliber OF for sure.
1:26
And if you need SBs, he's definitely one of the better gambles out there.
Trade
1:26
Melendez or Raleigh ros
Brad Johnson
1:26
I like Melendez more. Raleigh is Gary Sanchez-ish whereas Melendez has a broader skill set and could still keep pace in the HR department.
Daro
1:26
What to do with Torkelson and Meadows in a 12 team league?
Brad Johnson
1:27
I'd move on from both in redraft.
Jake
1:27
How should I value Blake Snell ros?
Brad Johnson
1:27
Consider him volatile. High risk, high reward.
All the traits he showed in his second half surge last year are present.
1:28
Not sure why he's walking so many guys tbh
1:29
All the stats that usually explain a surge in pitcher walk rate show no or only a small change from previous versions of Snell.
1:30
I'd have to investigate more deeply, but the quick-to-read data suggest the 5.58 BB/9 should be closer to 4.00 BB/9.
1:32
Alrighty, I'm going to throw in the towel. See ya in a couple weeks. Enjoy the ASB!
