Thoughts on Cronenworth? Position flexibility is nice, but do you think he does enough to be rostered in 10 team league?
Brad Johnson
3:02
Seems like a streamer right now, much as I love him
Uncle Charlie

Ayo, Brad! Need another reliable RP. Currently I have Morton, Carrasco, Buehler, Rodon, Verlander, Gore, Ashby, Wright, Roansy, and Gonsolin (Romano and Soto are my closers so far) as my staff. Should I actively be trading for a closer or would it be better to stand pat?
Brad Johnson
3:03
That's a deep group and should help protect you if the closer you pick up is a little iffy. I'd hunt some saves.

Is Josh Donaldson the most hated player in baseball?
Brad Johnson
3:04
Today, yes.
Not generally.
Trevor Bauer probably had that title before the whole... thing.
Buxton
3:05
Buxton is approaching the mendoza line. Nothing I can do about it but be sad, right?
Brad Johnson
3:05
Such is the danger of extreme fly ball rates
Logan

Will Pagan get enough save chances for Minnesota to make him a decent use of a roster spot?
Brad Johnson
3:05
In the short term, but boy is he not good.
3:06
One of the weakest "closers" at the moment
Ebbets Field

Crazy idea:  Any thought to picking the best/most interesting questions you didn't get a chance to answer & blasting out all those answers immediately before the next chat?
Brad Johnson
3:06
Not a bad idea if I was chatting more frequently. I could answer some of these in the FO sub chat we do every other week though.
3:07
Those can be a bit more like a conversation so a little extra content wouldn't hurt.

Keeper forever league with no draft spot or salary implications .. would you deal your Jose Ramirez for Wander Franco?
Brad Johnson
3:07
Yes. Pending considerations for this season.
Ramirez is obviously a much better player in 2022.
Voomo

Is Brujan going to hit?
Brad Johnson
3:08
At least some. Enough to play and to do some fantasy damage.
Like if Jorge Mateo wasn't completely terrible. That's the floor imo.
Duff

Are you dropping Voit is 10 and 12 team leagues?
Brad Johnson
3:08
In 10s, yes. Not sure in 12. Would depend on the move.
3:09
I look at those as shallow formats. You can treat waiver moves there like a trade. Sure, you don't want to cut a guy who led the league in home runs in 2020, but is the guy you're picking up helping you win more?
Logan
3:09
Thanks for the response on Pagan.  Would you say Duran is the better long-term play there?  Or maybe Wick or Barlow for adds from the waiver wire?
Brad Johnson
3:09
Either Barlow.
3:10
Not Wick, he's behind Robertson.
Alright, I'm going to call it. As always, thanks for playing. These chats are a blast.
3:11
If I didn't get to you, consider subbing to the Front Office. I get to all their questions every other Monday. So, just a few days from now for the next one!
Cheers folks!
