Brad Johnson

So, keep in mind he's a low-angle contact guy. These sorts usually top out around 30 HR, but you get a higher AVG than a typical slugger as part of the trade.

Sewald has to be the guy in Seattle right? My crush on Munoz has faded
Brad Johnson
2:49
As of today, it does seem to be Sewald as first pool float in the fluid bullpen. Munoz still has incredible talent despite recent setbacks.
Steven

In a 12 team keeper league with you also having Carlos Correa and Bobby Witt Jr, would you keep or drop Royce Lewis and why?
Brad Johnson
2:49
Keep and sell from the inventory.
Tim

Does Kittredge finish as the rays closer?
Brad Johnson
2:50
Probably, unless Jalen Beeks gets his shot while Kittredge is out.
And "closer" deserves quotations.
Looking for like 8 Ws and 14 SVs

What do you think of this trade- Doval and Nola for Muncy and Crawford in head-to-head categories?
Brad Johnson
2:51
I'm partial to pitchers in H2H so I prefer the arms.
I was going to say it depends on which Crawford, but then I decided I value them similarly.
Wilson
2:52
Should I add his brother as my backup catcher
Brad Johnson
2:52
Sure! Another low-angle, high-exit velocity guy
The HR is somewhat of a mirage, but he is a roughly league average hitting catcher which is rare enough
Ebbets Field

Noelvi Marte -Sea.  Superstar or above average major leaguer?  2024?
Brad Johnson
2:53
Everyone tells me superstar. I haven't had a live look yet so I guess I have to defer to them.
I think, in general, it's smart to bet the under
Garrett Whitlock
2:53
Seattle tagged me pretty good my last time out.  I'll have a nice opportunity to bounce back tomorrow at home against the Orioles.  What's your outlook for me ROS?
Brad Johnson
2:54
Wish he was closing personally, but I like him a lot. Running into his first adversity in the Majors.
Nick H
2:54
1 catcher league, should I try to trade MJ Melendez or Mitch Garver?
Brad Johnson
2:54
I'd hang onto Garver. It also depends on what's being offered. Put 'em both on the block and take what helps your team most.
Ryan

What's a good return for Jeremy Pena in a trade?  Especially a pitcher?
Brad Johnson
2:55
Good sell-high moment with Pena. This is usually around when the league adjusts and kicks a slump into gear.
2:56
Could reach for Wright, Lauer, or Nestor.
Maybe Logan Webb or Sean Manaea?
2:57
I'd aim high, is the answer
Ben
2:57
Jhoan Duran?   Do you have any shares and will he continue to get saves?
Brad Johnson
2:57
I missed on him, I mostly play very deep formats and he was kept by others
Had him a few years back, but he didn't advance fast enough for my liking.
2:58
I do expect him to get occasional saves. The Twins seem to want him to become the closer without really realizing it.
Teams sometimes do this with pitchers they aren't sure have that... I'll say "John Rocker hunger" to close games.
2:59
I need to wrap up soon - I have an article to write for Front Office subscribers and a meal to deliver to a friend with a newborn.
Henry Hill
2:59
Do any managers get whacked before the All-Star break?
Brad Johnson
2:59
I gotta imagine Joe Girardi is hanging by a thread.
3:00
Dunno how the Royals feel about Mike Matheny. Good opportunity to mash eject if they want to overhaul the coaching.
3:01
Pale Hose missed their chance to shove TLR under the bus
None of the other "good" teams are struggling
Ryan
3:01
Already had Pena for Lauer and Pena for Nestor rejected!  Great minds, I guess.  Thanks for the other suggestions.
Brad Johnson
3:01
Ha!
