Brad Johnson Baseball Chat – May 2, 2017
Below you will find the transcript from today’s chat. It was a weird one.
| 3:41 |
: So what shall we discuss today? There’s always a couple recurring questions. |
| 3:41 |
: I’m very bad at my job…. |
| 3:42 |
: As good a topic to start with as any. The Mets seemingly have no capacity for managing their medical issues |
| 3:42 |
: They have the same problems as every other team, but they always make themselves look so hapless |
| 3:43 |
: With Thames’ impending OF eligibility in Ottoneu, who are some good 1B/Util upside plays to replace him with? I have Reynolds & Carter rostered but they’re part-timers. I put in a bid for Valbueno. Any other suggestions? |
| 3:44 |
: You probably aren’t going to find instant gratification on the wire. You may even be better off leaving him at utility. So many interesting outfielders available. |
| 3:44 |
: I have to cut one of Grossman or Chisenhall in my deep AL-only league. Which one gets the boot? |
| 3:44 |
: I vote for Grossman. |
| 3:44 |
: Who are you targeting while selling high on Aaron Judge? |
| 3:45 |
: Treat him as if he’s exactly the same as Giancarlo Stanton. |
| 3:45 |
: whats the outlook like on Chad Kuhl Brad? 3.50 era with a K rate of 6/9 and a walk rate of 3/9 realistic or optimistic? |
| 3:45 |
: 6 K/9 and 3 BB/9 does not a 3.50 ERA make. |
| 3:45 |
: That’s like a 4.75 ERA |
| 3:45 |
: I think Kuhl can maintain a sub 4.00 ERA with unsexy peripherals |
| 3:46 |
: When the dust settles, does Deshields come away with the LF job in Texas? |
| 3:46 |
: His performance will dictate. He’s being given a clear opportunity but it’s up to him to, uh, run with it. |
| 3:46 |
: Start Sonny today? |
| 3:46 |
: Oh god no. |
| 3:47 |
: Do you expect to see Berrios called up on Saturday when the Twins need a fifth starter? |
| 3:47 |
: Yessir |
| 3:47 |
: in a 12 team mixed league, drop any of betances (holding just for ratios), daniel norris, alex wood, j. montgomery, or archie bradley (holding for ratios and as a speculative starter/closer) for senzatella? |
| 3:47 |
: Norris is the most cut-able imo. And no, Senzatela isn’t worth it. |
| 3:47 |
: phone! |
| 3:48 |
: Hey there, will I stick around in the rotation? I look pretty good other than one game where control was an issue? |
| 3:48 |
: In the short term, yes |
| 3:48 |
: we’ll see long term |
| 3:49 |
: his velo is up, he’s getting whiffs and grounders |
| 3:49 |
: he looks like a real fantasy asset |
| 3:49 |
: Rougned Odor…poor approach catching up to him or just a slow start? We’ve seen this from him before but it’s now been over a month… |
| 3:50 |
: I’ve always been very publicly worried about this. He’ll pick it up at some point. |
| 3:50 |
: Are you buying Scott Schebler as a legit OF option in points leagues going forward, and how worried should Schebler owners be about playing time going forward? |
| 3:50 |
: I’m buying big time. Sent Neil Walker for him today |
| 3:50 |
: Fly ball rate is up, hard contact is plus |
| 3:50 |
: That’s a recipe for 30 HR easy at GABP |
| 3:51 |
: Bregman or Rendon ROS? OBP, XBH instead of AVG, HR |
| 3:51 |
: Rendon. It was always Rendon. I’m not getting distracted by… |
| 3:52 |
: do you like judge? |
| 3:52 |
: smiley face, aubergine, umbrella |
| 3:52 |
: What do you think of this trade: Sale+Bellinger for Villar+Peraza? |
| 3:52 |
: woof, that’s a lot to unpack. |
| 3:53 |
: So Sale is in god mode. But pitcher spontaneously die. Bellinger’s ticketed back for the minors. Villar looks worse, Peraza looks worse, but both could easily rebound |
| 3:53 |
: If you need SB desperately, go for the steals. Conversely, if you’re flush with SB, take Sale |
| 3:53 |
: Aaron Judge or Khris Davis ROS? (OBP league) |
| 3:54 |
: Gonna opt for the hot hand. Probably a good either or tho… |
| 3:54 |
: Which RoS? (OBP League)
Aaron Judge (29.5% | 29 votes)
Khris Davis (70.4% | 69 votes)

|
| 3:54 |
: How much longer do the Yankees keep rolling out Bird if he continues to struggle? |
| 3:54 |
: ZERO DAYS! |
| 3:55 |
: He’s on the disabled list as of a few minutes ago |
| 3:55 |
: With all of my organization’s seeming dysfunction, how soon before I am called up to try to make everyone forget? |
| 3:55 |
: I’m not under the impression that Rosario is anywhere near the MLB plans. Aside from maybe a short peek like we saw with Jesse Winker |
| 3:56 |
: Does Joey Gallo reach the 35 + home run threshold with a 13% and a 30% K rate with an avg of .225? |
| 3:56 |
: Seems likely, assuming nothing happens to his playing time if/when Beltre is resurrected |
| 3:56 |
: Man, Stephen Vogt was pretty bad in April. Any hopes of a turn around or should I be dropping him for one of Norris, Vazquez or Phegley? |
| 3:56 |
: What about Bandy or Hedges or Pina or Wolters? |
| 3:57 |
: If not them, then keep |
| 3:57 |
: I could only keep one of Mookie and T. Turner as a keeper from last year and kept Mookie. Is that going to look like a mistake or will Mookie find his power stroke from last year? |
| 3:57 |
: That’s a shame. You’ll come out fine. Both will be monsters but Mookie should be more reliable |
| 3:57 |
: is thames a top 40 or 50 player? |
| 3:58 |
: That’s difficult to answer. I think he’s right around there |
| 3:58 |
: I’ve tried to trade JUpton+ for him and been laughed at |
| 3:58 |
: so his owners think he’s top 25 |
| 3:58 |
: is mazara a top 25 OF? |
| 3:58 |
: Not yet. Hopefully some day |
| 3:59 |
: Nomar Mazara or Aaron Judge in a dynasty pts league? |
| 4:00 |
: I’m a sucker for the guy who’s doing it now. Mazara’s head is above water but Judge is walking on it |
| 4:00 |
: I assume you’ll get a few Joe Ross questions, but what to do? I have Ross (and Moore) at the bottom of my rotation and thinking of streaming seeing what Morton and Straily can do going forward. Thanks. |
| 4:00 |
: Charlie Morton is a better pitcher than Joe Ross |
| 4:01 |
: Y’all on some Joe Ross drug juice. He was always a super high risk, modest reward play |
| 4:01 |
: Notice I said nothing kind about Dan Straily |
| 4:01 |
: Will Dave Roberts let Urias pitch enough innings to have relevance in a QS league or will he more likely than not take him out after the 5th? |
| 4:01 |
: Probably not. That’s how you get 28 starts out of him plus playoffs without blowing up his innings |
| 4:02 |
: is Corbin to be trusted in mixed league? |
| 4:02 |
: Trust? Pat Corbin? Hell no. You can stream him with extreme anxiety |
| 4:02 |
: Looking to get out of my Duffy share — is Giles for a saves needy team enough for you? |
| 4:03 |
: I think so. Might ask after a Cody Allen first. Somebody with elite numbers who isn’t perceived as elite. |
| 4:03 |
: Giles does fit that bill, but he’s not my first choice |
| 4:03 |
: provide me with a buy low and sell high candidate please. |
| 4:03 |
: to the leaderboards I shall go |
| 4:04 |
: Sell Sano. I love him and he’s going to continue doing big things, but not with a .450 BABIP. He and Gallo may look very similar RoS, but you can probably get twice as much in return for Sano. |
| 4:06 |
: Curtis Ganderson is such an obvious buy low. Eduardo Nunez if you need swipes |
| 4:06 |
: Is Ervin Santana the biggest sell-high candidate in history? |
| 4:06 |
: ha. If you can sell Ervin Santana without getting laughed out of the room, I’d be impressed |
| 4:06 |
: Kid DeShields a 10-teamer yet for his SB upside alone? |
| 4:06 |
: If you desperately need SB. Otherwise, no |
| 4:07 |
: stream him on Thursdays |
| 4:07 |
: Yuli Gurriel has a nice BA but nothing else. Still a CI consideration for you in 10-team? |
| 4:07 |
: Sounds a little thin for using Yuli. |
| 4:07 |
: If I’m healthy the rest of the way *BIG IF* am I a top 10 first baseman in standard leagues? |
| 4:07 |
: Possibly. It’s a top heavy position so there are some big names to shoulder past |
| 4:07 |
: Josh Harrison has already matched 2016’s and 2015’s HR total (4). Anything to see here? |
| 4:08 |
: I saw the first home run yesterday. It’s an out in almost every park. Except Yankee Stadium |
| 4:08 |
: Do you really think L.A. is stupid enough to send Bellinger down? He’s looked fantastic! |
| 4:08 |
: They have too many players not to. It’s not like the team is hurting for wins. He’ll get another chance later |
| 4:08 |
: Help me replace MadBum. Thoughts on Norris, Boyd, Wood? |
| 4:08 |
: WoodWoodWoodWood |
| 4:09 |
: scroll back for some notes |
| 4:09 |
: Is Leury Garcia any good? |
| 4:09 |
: Streamable. |
| 4:09 |
: That’s all |
| 4:09 |
: Should I start Cozart over Story until Story does something besides strike out with the occasional HR |
| 4:09 |
: Story’s been terrible and still is a top 200 player |
| 4:09 |
: I’d keep playing him over Cozart |
| 4:10 |
: Maybe if you’re drowning in AVG… |
| 4:10 |
: Heyward and David Peralta on my wire in 12 man h2h traditional stats. Who do you like better? |
| 4:10 |
: Heyward might build trade value |
| 4:10 |
: pretty similar otherwise |
| 4:10 |
: Charlie Morton check-in: I’m still in on this guy. High velocity, high groundball rate, solid mix… am I crazy to think of him as start-and-go fantasy rotation piece? |
| 4:11 |
: That’s how I think of him |
| 4:11 |
: I might be crazy too |
| 4:11 |
: He tends to run out of gas early |
| 4:11 |
: Is it wrong to get too excited about Gyorko at the moment? Look to sell high? love his positional flexibility on Yahoo. |
| 4:12 |
: He’s playing and has all that flex. “Excited” might be wrong, but he’s an excellent player to own |
| 4:12 |
: Is Urias a top 40 SP rest of season? |
| 4:12 |
: No. Short starts will steal too many Ws |
| 4:12 |
: Even if the rates were there |
| 4:12 |
: Joe Ross owner here. Do you prefer JC Ramirez, Zach Wheeler or Charlie Morton? |
| 4:12 |
: If your question involves Morton, he’s the answer |
| 4:13 |
: Why are the Dodgers sending Bellinger back down when Joc returns? Why not have Bellinger usurp LF from Toles? |
| 4:14 |
: Toles has shown just enough to continue playing. They may option him instead, but I think they’ll ask Bellinger to work out a few of his kinks instead. Once Toles runs out of rope, then Bellinger will return. Or injuries. |
| 4:14 |
: It |
| 4:14 |
: It’s at least partially a matter of preserving depth. If you discard Toles prematurely then that’s one fewer player to call upon later |
| 4:15 |
: Got offered Kershaw for my Thames and Darvish. 10 team H2H points league, my positional needs are a wash. Which side? |
| 4:15 |
: Thames |
| 4:15 |
: if there was a decent second player in there with Kershaw tho… |
| 4:15 |
: Nate Karns: a couple low-run outings without K’s and a couple high-run outings with K’s (and walks). What’s an owner to do? |
| 4:15 |
: Own better players? Seriously though, I assume this is some kind of 14 team, AL Only format? |
| 4:16 |
: Gsellman had a couple of bad outings vs the Braves but giving up lots of singles/doubles along with no K’s. Am i right to hold on to him for a while longer? 12 team 30 man rosters |
| 4:16 |
: I’m still hopeful, but I’m also reducing him purely to streamer status |
| 4:16 |
: And I think yesterday was my last stream of him in awhile |
| 4:17 |
: There are injury red flags. I think Alex Chamberlain was talking about them earlier today… |
| 4:17 |
: Somebody was |
| 4:17 |
: I’m in a 12 team nl only keeper. I went into this year keeping 7 hitters and 1 pitcher (R Hill). I obviously spent most of my draft dollars on pitching (Syndergaard, Cueto, Maeda, Gsellman). No surprise looking at that list I’m 3rd to last in pitching, but I am first in hitting. I have R Zimmerman at $6, should I try to move him for a Strasburg type? Or am I getting panicked too soon? |
| 4:17 |
: Now is definitely the time to act, but it’s important to maintain your strengths while doing so |
| 4:17 |
: Who ends up with most SV this season: Norris, Bedrosian, Street? |
| 4:18 |
: I guess I have to vote for the healthy guy? I want it to be Bedrosian |
| 4:18 |
: When healthy, there are __ SP I would start over Rich Hill. |
| 4:18 |
: Couple dozen? I don’t maintain a list in-season |
| 4:18 |
: I get a lot of questions about where so and so would rank |
| 4:19 |
: If you follow my work at all, you know I happily ignore all rankings including my own |
| 4:19 |
: Saturday Twins starter – how bout Nik Turley |
| 4:20 |
: Could be. I’m not very invested in which probable disaster pitches for MN |
| 4:20 |
: By all means, snag up some shares to speculate |
| 4:20 |
: Berrios or Turley. Don’t go pinning your hopes on them |
| 4:21 |
: Help! Surely lackey won’t continue to give up 23% HR/FB but he’s getting hard contact a career high 36% of the time? Time to start looking on the wire or hold tight with K% and BB% near his career norms? |
| 4:21 |
: Depends on your wire. Probably should hold tight. Lackey’s a weird asset because he’s average or slightly worse across the board. You need volume so he still has value |
| 4:21 |
: Chuck Morton or Hector Santiago for the double start next week? |
| 4:21 |
: I’m not going to say it… |
| 4:22 |
: Anything to get excited about with J.C. Ramirez? |
| 4:22 |
: Other people are getting excited, I’m not. He’s been terrible for so long and doesn’t look any different to me |
| 4:22 |
: seek out second opinions |
| 4:22 |
: what do you think of suarez? |
| 4:23 |
: I’ve been his biggest supporter. He’s one of those guys whose fantasy numbers exceed the visible talent |
| 4:23 |
: I hear you on Harrison, but he’s hot and hitting leadoff at GABP… gotta play him against Feldman tonight, right? |
| 4:23 |
: Yessir |
| 4:23 |
: How are you feeling about Michael Brantley? Any high-K SP’s you would target if you’re selling high? |
| 4:23 |
: Feeling good, but he’s not going to join the home run revolution. Cuts into his value |
| 4:24 |
: Maybe this guy? |
| 4:24 |
: What is your panic meter at for Carlos Martinez right now? |
| 4:24 |
: zero on a 1-10 scale |
| 4:24 |
: Sell me on D. Travis? Why should i trust him to rebound? |
| 4:24 |
: Good question, why should we trust Travis to rebound? |
| 4:25 |
: Why should we trust Travis to rebound

| 4:26 |
: Hamilton and Gordon both stole 3 bases yesterday. Rickey like. |
| 4:26 |
: Very predictable in the case of Hamilton. Because Gerrit Cole. He’ll do it again tonight if Glasnow walks him |
| 4:26 |
: What is wrong with DJ LeMahieu? Is he a top 10 2b going forward? |
| 4:26 |
: With so much power at the position, I’m tempted to put him in the 10-15 band |
| 4:27 |
: I’ll look to see if I can identify an issue. I own no shares |
| 4:28 |
: A few too many GB at expense of LD. Sharp decline in oppo liners. I think it’ll all regress |
| 4:28 |
: He really shouldn’t steal bases so he might stop |
| 4:28 |
: Hernan Perez a 10-team grab? |
| 4:28 |
: If you need steals |
| 4:28 |
: Forgot to add to 1B-platoon question — Would it be crazy to deal Santana for an upgrade elsewhere? Guys like Pujols and Moreland currently available as FAs for another backup if need be. |
| 4:28 |
: If Pujols is free, go ahead and get something for Santana. They aren’t that different |
| 4:29 |
: Verlander is back to being a dud, right? I don’t care that his avg fb is all the way up to 94.7 mph. |
| 4:29 |
: He wasn’t great to start last year either |
| 4:29 |
: be patient |
| 4:29 |
: Morton or Kershaw? |
| 4:29 |
: Please. Morton. |

: Where’s my Gregory Polanco? |
| 4:30 |
: rumors of a shoulder injury. I’ve only paid close attention for a few PA. Timing looks off |
| 4:31 |
: a sore joint would explain it |
| 4:31 |
: Is it just me, or is Kendrys Morales’ power/RBI potential underappreciated in fantasy? |
| 4:31 |
: Chad Young and I traded Prince Fielder for Kendrys, David Robertson, and somebody else non-trivial 2 years ago |
| 4:32 |
: our thought process at the time it was offered to us “isn’t Morales the same as Prince?” |
| 4:32 |
: That comp didn’t age well 🙂 |
| 4:32 |
: Mr. Morton is the subject of my sentence, and what the predicate says, he does |
| 4:33 |
: I don’t know what this is and in no way condone it’s appearance here |
| 4:33 |
: well, I clicked the green plus that makes it public which is a form of condonery |
| 4:33 |
: Need pitching with Thor and Nola sidelined. Look to move Zimmerman for a Hamels/Tanaka type or pick up someone like Morton/Corbin for free instead? |
| 4:33 |
: I’d lean on the free options first |
| 4:33 |
: NL only dynasty league – Currently in 1st place, just lost Eaton and my pitching is patched together with Corbin/Wood/Blach/Melancon/Kelley – What do I do with Bellinger? Upgrade pitching now, or see how it plays out? |
| 4:34 |
: Shop for something massive. If it’s not there, hang tight |
| 4:34 |
: Drop DJ for Gyorko? 10-team H2H w/ OPS |
| 4:34 |
: I think not |
| 4:34 |
: unless you need +20 HR over all other categories |
| 4:34 |
: Use me in AZ tonight? 12t roto w a hard inning cap. |
| 4:35 |
: I would not use you at rock hard Chase Field |
| 4:35 |
: I would use you in D.C. |
| 4:35 |
: And that’s where you play today |
| 4:35 |
: Re: Urias – worth holding him in a dynasty league? It’s QS, but I can keep him forever and drafted him for $1 (10 team deep mixed). |
| 4:35 |
: Yes |
| 4:35 |
: Sentzel, A. Rosario, Albies, R. Tapia, Happ, Alfaro- which guys will help me this year in NL only? |
| 4:36 |
: I’m most confident that we’ll see Alfaro playing regularly |
| 4:36 |
: the others don’t have a great path to PT, although the upside is perhaps higher |
| 4:36 |
: Other than the fact that he is throwing hard and he has a great offense behind him, what is there to like about Morton? His plate discipline numbers are below average. Below average swinging strike, chase and contact rates. |
| 4:37 |
: Great breaking ball which he’s pairing with some higher fastballs (hence the decline in GB rate). Plus or better command in the early innings. I’m hopeful he improves at holding onto it |
| 4:37 |
: There’s a chance he’s better used like Devenski |
| 4:37 |
: How do you feel abour Kiermaier? I liked him but I’m ready to cut bait because of his K rate. |
| 4:38 |
: Always been kinda ambivalent |
| 4:38 |
: He’s somebody I’d like to stream, but he’s just good enough to stick on someone else’s roster if I cut him |
| 4:38 |
: Are you holding Cotton in 12 team H2Hs? |
| 4:38 |
: Sure, absent alternatives |
| 4:38 |
: Hypothetically speaking. If Bellinger went crazy and hits say 5 hrs with a .500+OB before they have to make a decision and Toles ends up at say.190OB. Would that change the outcome possibly? |
| 4:38 |
: Sure. |
| 4:38 |
: ROS: C Seager or Lindor? |
| 4:39 |
: Lindor |
| 4:39 |
: still high on Graveman? Some of his peripherals are looking shaky. |
| 4:40 |
: I did warn you he’s done this before to me. Always comes out of the gate looking like a monster. One of these years he’ll get it. Or his arm will die |
| 4:40 |
: I’m concerned |
| 4:40 |
: If Bryce Harper played in Colorado or NYY, would you select him #1 in a re-draft over Trout? |
| 4:40 |
: No |
| 4:40 |
: but I would pick him #2 |
| 4:40 |
: Tommy Joseph has X weeks left of rope before the Phils move on to Hoskins. Solve for X? |
| 4:40 |
: I don’t think Hoskins is the real threat |
| 4:41 |
: Aaron Altherr, via Howie Kendrick, is the threat |
| 4:41 |
: and Altherr is already making a bid for everyday PT |
| 4:41 |
: Hoskins isn’t on the 40-man roster, and the Phillies have a crowded 40-man |
| 4:42 |
: No matter how good he’s hitting, he’ll need a 60-day DL stint from someone to get a spot |
| 4:42 |
: How about a BJohnson hot take on Byung Ho Park? Thanks for chatting with us! |
| 4:42 |
: I can’t even muster a room temperature take |
| 4:43 |
: So as far as I’m aware, he’s rehabbing a hammy |
| 4:43 |
: any other reason why you want to know something about him? (I won’t see your response in the flood) |
| 4:44 |
: DeLarosa worth stashing as Rodney insurance? |
| 4:44 |
: This spelling made me think of Mark DeRosa |
| 4:44 |
: I own DeRosa in one of my fantasy leagues |
| 4:44 |
: it’s set in 2006 |
| 4:44 |
: Re Tommy Joseph, is it possible that the Phils send Stassi down, bring Quinn up, and platoon Saunders and Joseph at 1B? |
| 4:45 |
: Anything is possible. |
| 4:45 |
: I think it’s more likely Stassi will play more. He’s looked pretty playable. |
| 4:45 |
: Thoughts on Jose Reyes and Carlos Gomez? Worth the hold, respectively? Hold Gomez over Margot and Reyes over Drury? |
| 4:45 |
: Reyes seems to be alive again. Definitely over Drury |
| 4:45 |
: I might got Margot unless you really need power more than speed |
| 4:46 |
: Margot’s lack of SB is a shocking disappointment |
| 4:46 |
: he was supposed to be an easy 25-30 |
| 4:46 |
: Worth firing up Klubot (@ DET), Quintana (@ KC), AND E. Santana (v OAK) tonight in a H2H league? On the fence about Ervin, but I like the matchup against weak OAK offense |
| 4:46 |
: I’d gamble on them all |
| 4:46 |
: Mark DeRosa! Once traded straight up for Chris Archer and spare parts! 100 career home runs! |
| 4:46 |
: Could you be any worse at giving the people some answers? |

: Does nobody play first base in the AL? |

: McCann, Santana, Ramirez, Lindor, Sano, Trout, Judge, Dickerson |

: Who would be your top 5 in fantasy right now? |
| 4:52 |
: Trout, Harper, Goldy, Bryant, and…either Freeman or Arenado |

: Grandal lurrrrves hitting ground balls. Do you think his power from 2H last year will come back? |
| 4:52 |
: His power’s still there |
| 4:52 |

: Harper I suppose. He’s instant marketing. I assume I get him for 10 years or something |
| 4:53 |
: Lindor’s the other pick |
| 4:53 |
: who’s the better stash in redraft: Brinson or Rosario |
| 4:53 |
: I’m having trouble answering this. Why did I pick it? |
| 4:53 |
: What would it look like if you were worse at giving the people some answers? |
| 4:54 |
: See above |
| 4:54 |
: (Rosario) |

: If your fingers started to hurt and you had trouble typing with them would you get an MRI or keep typing until they went sproing? |
| 4:54 |
: I’ve been typing through carpel tunnel for a decade… |
| 4:55 |
: Thoughts about Archer going forward (this season)? I’ve seen some pretty lofty projections but thus far he hasn’t matched what’s projected *and* he’s outperformed his peripherals. Would you trade Danny Duffy + Corbin to get him in a 13-team mixed 9*9? |
| 4:55 |
: I’d make that trade, but you’re looking at K volume with otherwise average numbers |
| 4:55 |
: That National League team looks way better than that American League team. |
| 4:56 |
: I know right, give us something to watch AL |
| 4:56 |
: How do you rate Kevin Pillar? Over guys like Kiermaier/Peraza? |
| 4:56 |
: Yep |
| 4:56 |
: Specifically, I rate him by combing through his stat page at FanGraphs.com |
| 4:57 |
: It looks like he’s healthy which was a problem last year. Remember, he was a sleeper entering 2016 before he kinda sucked |
| 4:57 |
: Thoughts on Jordan Montgomery? |
| 4:57 |
: Rich Hill with more pitches and less figured out |
| 4:57 |
: help!! |
| 4:57 |
: And on that note, I’m closing this shindig down. Last couple then a lightning round |
| 4:58 |
: Short list of hitters right now who have lots of upside who could be had dirt cheap? |
| 4:58 |
: Schebler, Alonso, Perez (Hernan) |
| 4:58 |
: thoughts on schwarber as a buy low candidate? |
| 4:58 |
: if you can anybody to admit he isn’t the top hitter in baseball, yes, buy |
| 4:59 |
: Are you soft? it seems like it |
| 4:59 |
: Like most people, I have soft spots and hard spots. |
| 4:59 |
: Inciarte, outside shot at 15/30? |
| 4:59 |
: Yes |
| 4:59 |
: What’s more entertaining to you: A. A towering HR. B. A multiple Error in the park HR. C. Prince Fielder’s in the park HR with the Brewers. |
| 4:59 |
: C |
