Brad Johnson RotoGraphs Chat – 5/17

by Brad Johnson

May 17, 2016

Here’s the transcript of today’s chat. Lot’s of fun topics.

1:14	Breakout Stars..?: Brandon Drury, Danny Valencia?

1:14	Brad Johnson: What are you looking to accomplish? Valencia has more power and bats cleanup. Drury a better pure hitter

1:15	John: Yelich for Matz and Stroman. What side do you like? Only issue would be that I would need to find a SS off of waivers to replace Segura (Crawford/Semien are top options).

1:15	Brad Johnson: Not sure I understand where the SS comes in

1:15	Brad Johnson: But that’s a fine trade if you need pitching

1:15	Brad Johnson: if you don’t, then it’s unnecessary

1:16	Guest: Should I trade

1:16	Brad Johnson: Sure

1:16	HappyFunBall: Thoughts on Billy Hamilton? Will he OBP enough to even be a worth bench option?

1:16	Brad Johnson: I’ve said all along, he’s so hard to manage

1:16	Brad Johnson: but if his cost is down to mostly free, he’s worth the headache

1:16	The Boss: What could I get for Duda in a 10-team dynasty?

1:17	Brad Johnson: Not very much. A bottom 10 closer, top 5 non-closer, John Lackey-type SP

1:17	Billy: Is Grichuk ok?

1:18	Brad Johnson: I think so, expectations were WAY too high entering the season. He’s a nice player with upside but everybody treated him as actualized

1:18	Richard Simmons: Ken Giles is floating around in the free agent pool of my AL-only league right now. Should I be running out to grab him immediately?

1:18	Brad Johnson: I don’t think you have to run. If you have a natural spot for him, he’s a solid stash

1:18	Eric: How done is Prince Fielder? I was offered Porcello for him in a 12 team OPS league, but I can’t make myself pull the trigger.

1:19	Brad Johnson: I was so happy for the dead cat bounce in my dynasty league last year. Turned him into three useful players

1:19	Brad Johnson: I think his goose is cooked. Look at Carlos Lee for how his body type usually ages

1:19	Brad Johnson: in short, rapidly

1:20	Steve: So my offense is awesome, auction league 2h2 (Harper, Machado, Cespedes, Ortiz, etc…) but my pitching is atrocious (Scherzer, Keuchel, Archer, Mcchugh, Gausman). Should I just punt the pitching ratios and chase Ks and QS and trade Max for more hitting?

1:20	Brad Johnson: No, dump McHugh, find a buyer for Gausman (somebody in your league likes him more than they should), and shop the two broken aces

1:21	Brad Johnson: but you probably hang onto Keuchel and Archer

1:21	Brad Johnson: try to rehabilitate the pitching

1:21	Charlotte the bassador: time to pull the plug on Rusell Martin? OBP league… Any love for Wieters, Cervelli, Montero, Derek Norris, Satly, Wolters (for the speed?)

1:22	Brad Johnson: I’m a huge Cervelli fan. He’s a top 5? 8? C

1:22	Brad Johnson: He’s near the top in any case

1:22	Jeet: Thoughts on Ian Kinsler rest of the season? Top 5 2B in mixed leagues?

1:22	Brad Johnson: If healthy, he’s near the top of the pile. So many good 2B though that health will be a big factor

1:23	Matt: I got until 6 pm CST to make the swap – 1 Start McCullers (TEX) or 2-start Miley (BAL & CIN)? QS/ERA/WHIP/K

1:23	Brad Johnson: cringe

1:23	Brad Johnson: is neither an option?

1:23	Brad Johnson: if not, I guess Miley is the only answer. Might get a QS or two

1:23	Brad Johnson: McCullers probably doesn’t throw more than 5+ IP

1:24	Battah, Battah, Battah: Hey Brad, Who are a few of the minors hitters that you are stashing for MLB roles before ASB? Please do not include the Astros.

1:25	Brad Johnson: My home league (12 team mixed, 30 player rosters, 7 BN) has Dansby Swanson, Andrew Benintendi, Reed, and Bregman.

1:25	Brad Johnson: So I didn’t follow instructions and included Astros

1:25	Brad Johnson: not sure why you’d leave them out, they’re going to supply a bunch of the top pre-ASB talent

1:25	Brad Johnson: Glasnow, Taillon, and Brault in PIT

1:26	Billy: Got any really deep dynasty sleepers?

1:26	Brad Johnson: I sure do, but I can’t get into that at chat pace

1:27	Brad Johnson: I published a column on RotoBaller yesterday with a few unusual names

1:27	Brad Johnson: not prospects so much as post-post-hype guys

1:27	Justin Upton: The umps are killing me this season.

1:27	Taveras’ Ghost: Sano + what = Kris Bryant in dynasty. Or is that a toss up

1:28	Brad Johnson: With the way Sano is hitting, there are now some serious questions about his future. It would have to be a substantial piece.

1:28	Brad Johnson: Perhaps Jake Odorizzi, Cody Allen, or Joe Panik

1:29	Brad Johnson: to give some examples

1:29	Drew: Drew Smyly or Drew Pomeranz ROS?

1:29	Brad Johnson: Smyly though I hate his matchups

1:29	Grubby: Is Keuchel cooked? Deal him for DesClafani and Sandy Alcantara?

1:29	Brad Johnson: You can do better

1:29	Brad Johnson: the peripherals are still solid

1:29	Frank: Why so high on Cevelli? Yes his OBP is nice for OBP leagues but even in those leagues his lack of category juice is frustrating.

1:29	Brad Johnson: He has run and RBI opportunities too and his HR total won’t be terrible for the position

1:30	Brad Johnson: as long as he’s batting 5th, he’s a good C

1:30	Chad Timmons: Do you like Hahn tonight against TEX at home?

1:30	Brad Johnson: Hard no. I’m running away from Hahn for now

1:30	jaypo: What are your thoughts on Aaron Judge’s fantasy value with the yanks offense being so bad/injured?

1:30	Brad Johnson: I already had doubts he’d make enough contact to contribute this year. Without a supporting cast, there’s too much pressure on him

1:31	WHIP appeal: How much more valuable is trout over mookie (fantasy) considering the scarcity of steals?

1:31	Brad Johnson: Hard to quantify with 20 seconds of thought

1:31	Brad Johnson: I’d say Trout’s worth Betts plus an extra top 60-80 player.

1:32	Rufio: Heyward and Hamels a good offer for Stanton? It’s a dynasty where you loose players if they hit FA (won’t have to worry about that with Stanton till ’27) Keep adding?

1:32	Brad Johnson: Seems light, especially if your rival is responsive to slow starts

1:32	Shawn: Thoughts on Puig? Try to trade and get something bc of name value or just hold tight? I know he won’t be this bad ROS, but seems like his name gives him more value

1:32	Brad Johnson: I’d go for the trade. Since he doesn’t hit HR or steal bases, his fantasy value was always overstated

1:32	Osman: Should I believe in estrada

1:33	Brad Johnson: Do you really need to?

1:33	Brad Johnson: ooh, I was just offered Daz Cameron and Corey Dickerson for Phillip Ervin and Tyler O’Neill in dynasty

1:34	Brad Johnson: I was trying to deal Ervin/O’Neill/X for Starling Marte. Let’s crowdsource my next move

1:34	The Hamburgler: Hosmer+Heyward+Lackey for C. Davis+Duda+Pineda. Which side do you want? I’m in desperate need of HR and RBI in a roto league? Do it?

1:34	Brad Johnson: Davis please

1:34	Nora: Melvin Upton becoming mixed league material?

1:35	Brad Johnson: yea but you don’t need to force open a spot. If you need somebody, he’s there

1:35	macho: If Kang will net me something like Pillar and Carlos Martinez, is it worth trading him in a 10 player keeper? Or did I suffer though his DL stint so now I should enjoy his play?

1:35	Brad Johnson: Unless you’re dying at SS, I’d probably do that.

1:35	Matt: Was offered Marco Estrada for Luke Gregerson. Unless you believe Colome keeps the job, that leaves me with just Jefferess. But I really need the pitching help. Thoughts?

1:36	Brad Johnson: Has to be better options than Estrada

1:36	Young Philly: Do you think the Phillies put Neris in at closer at any point this season?

1:36	Brad Johnson: Yep. Him or Hernandez

1:36	Red in the Face: How many saves do you think Cingrani finishes with this year? How many for Jumbo Diaz?

1:36	Brad Johnson: 10 apiece?

1:36	OddBall Herrera: I am crossing my fingers that Swanson comes up at 2B – think there’s a higher chance than with Albies because he used to play there. What say you?\

1:36	Brad Johnson: I’m hearing he’s more likely to be the SS. Albies might be a super UTIL guy

1:36	Jon: Who would you drop for Taillon among Liriano, Lackey, Teheran, Jaime Garcia?

1:37	Brad Johnson: I’d drop Teheran

1:37	Brad Johnson: even if he keeps pitching OK, he’ll win what? 3 games?

1:37	Gorky: Sam Dyson gonna run away with this thing?

1:37	Brad Johnson: I hope so. I’ve been a fan of his since his final Marlins season

1:37	Frank: deep mixed league…move archer to get odor (i have pretty good SP w/o Arch)…value fair?

1:37	Brad Johnson: Yea, I think that’s reasonable

1:38	Brad Johnson: but…if you wait to see if he’s suspended 15 games, you might get a better deal

1:38	Robert Duvall: Is Adam Duvall better than expected?

1:38	Brad Johnson: No, this is roughly expected behavior out of him. The move to Cincinnati was a huge boon for him as a fantasy target

1:38	Frank: E. Suarez or A. Russell rst of this year only? is it close?

1:38	Brad Johnson: Suarez for me

1:39	Brad Johnson: some would say it’s close. I don’t

1:39	Osman: Should I trade for correa since he is a nice sell low candidate

1:39	Brad Johnson: Nothing wrong with the second best SS in baseball

1:40	Brad Johnson: now that Machado is a SS almost everywhere again

1:40	OddBall Herrera: What ranking would you give A.J. Reed among 1B for next year? 1B is deep so top 5 seems silly, but top 10?

1:40	Brad Johnson: top 20? He hasn’t even mastered Triple-A yet so let’s not get out of hand

1:40	Matt: Pineda and McHugh droppable in deep 10 team dynasty (40 man rosters) or are they spot start worthy? I have Thor, Salazar, J.Garcia, Taijuan, Wacha, Pomeranz, Conley, Gausman.

1:40	Brad Johnson: McHugh is

1:40	Brad Johnson: hang onto Pineda

1:40	Brad Johnson: a hot streak plus his name value could return a nice player

1:40	Bill: Conforto or Wil Myers for the ROS? Myers w/ the injury risk, and Conforto w/ the inability to hit LHP

1:41	Brad Johnson: Conforto and a platoon caddy?

1:41	Something Brewing: Do you think Corey Knebel is the Brewers closer once the trade deadline passes?

1:41	Brad Johnson: Will Smith I think. Missing most of the season will hurt his trade value too much to deal him at the deadline

1:41	Minor Problems: When do you think Nick Williams will get called up by the Phillies?

1:41	Brad Johnson: 2017.5

1:42	Micah: Shallow 10-teamer, and my team is stacked and no one I wanna cut. Okay strategy to just take the zero for Odor’s 2B slot for the duration of his suspension?

1:42	Brad Johnson: It hurts but sometimes you have to do it

1:42	Brad Johnson: the thing about shallow leagues is you always think your end of roster guys are can’t cut

1:42	Brad Johnson: they’re usually fungible

1:43	Pimple Popper MD: Whose stats would you rather have for the rest of the year in an NL only 5×5 non-keeper league: Kazmir or Jimmy Nelson?

1:43	Brad Johnson: well this is tricky

1:43	Brad Johnson: I like Nelson more overall, but for various reasons I expect Kazmir to finish with better numbers

1:43	David: Houston closer? Will Harris soon

1:43	Brad Johnson: Gregerson will be fine

1:44	Christian: Bauer or De la Rosa?

1:44	Brad Johnson: push

1:44	Brad Johnson: go with your gut, same high risk/low reward asset class

1:44	Chad: Should I have any concerns over Smyly’s workload going into Aug and Sept?

1:44	Brad Johnson: possibly, but you can play it by ear

1:45	Brad Johnson: the Rays usually pull pitchers early so I doubt he’ll be overworked

1:45	Osman: I’m trading trout for arenando and Polanco is that

1:45	Brad Johnson: I’d do it if I had a gaping wound at 3B

1:45	Matt: I stashed Mazara, Schwarber, Conforto and Matz last year, I’ve got Crawford, Tallion, Glasnow, Alex Reyes, and Wilson Contreras stashed now. Will I be solid for years since I already have Machado and Donaldson with a strong supporting cast? This is a 10 man dynasty

1:46	Brad Johnson: Show off. You already know the answer

1:46	Earl: Best 2016 SS stash? Bregman, Swanson, Albies?

1:46	Brad Johnson: Swanson

1:46	Brad Johnson: Bregman a close second

1:46	Brad Johnson: Albies a very very distant third

1:46	Brad Johnson: not even on the same continent for fantasy production

1:46	Noel: Does Khris Davis offer anything other than streaky HR production?

1:46	Brad Johnson: No

1:46	2b Stud muffins: I’m trying to trade for Altuve, but until then I cannot decide which 2b is better. Schoop, Pearce, Dietrich, Baez, Duffy or Panik??

1:46	Brad Johnson: Panik

1:47	A Different Matt: Lucroy for Nola in a redraft – fair?

1:47	Brad Johnson: Yea. I’d rather have the longer track record of Lucroy

1:47	Please Help: Is Josh Tomlin anything more than a streamer?

1:47	Brad Johnson: No.

1:47	Brad Ausmus’ Hoodie: When does Renfroe get the call?

1:48	Brad Johnson: I’m not really convinced he’ll hit in the majors. I suppose we’ll see soon because the Padres have move on from the scrublords eventually

1:48	Brad Johnson: after the super-2 cutoff

1:48	Kerry: Michael Wacha worth holding on to in shallower formats?

1:48	Brad Johnson: Mostly, subject to constraints

1:48	ACC: What your comp or prediction for Mazara ? Have a chance to get him in dynasty and don’t read a lot about him.

1:49	Brad Johnson: Huge Mazara fan. Hard to get a clean comp because he doesn’t run

1:49	Brad Johnson: Honestly, he really doesn’t specifically remind me of anyone

1:49	Brad Johnson: But he’ll be a huge #3 hitter for a decade

1:50	macho: Will Glasnow and ERod save my pitching staff of S Gray, Conley, Rich Hill, Vince Velasquez or do I need to make a trade?

1:50	Brad Johnson: No. ERod is having trouble getting back on track and Glasnow could have command issues in the majors

1:50	I am your padre: Who do you think is the better backup closer to hold on the Padres in an NL only league for this year: Maurer or Buchter?

1:50	Brad Johnson: Maurer

1:51	Frank: Our league heavily discounts pitching 6×6, h2h, 12 teams with (R/HR/RBI/SB/OBP/SLG and QS/K/HLD/SV/ERA/WHIP) In such a case, trading damaged aces seems impossible unless you really like Lucas Duda, how should we change cats to normalize for next year?

1:51	Brad Johnson: This seems like a feature rather than a bug

1:51	Brad Johnson: if you want SP/POS closer in value, you need to give SP more categories. Switching to a normal 5×5 without holds would do the trick

1:52	Brad Johnson: or you could do W and QS in a 7×7

1:53	Brad Johnson: with some kind of fringy offensive stat that the Trouts of the world don’t produce

1:53	Brad Johnson: the 5×5 route is cleaner

1:53	Repairman Man: i like to imagine you played for the vikings. did you? if no, can i keep thinking it anyway?

1:53	Brad Johnson: I can’t escape it….

1:53	Alexander Hamilton: Who has better rest of season value, Puig or Soler?

1:53	Brad Johnson: Puig

1:53	Gavin: Stash Glasnow over Conley, Hammell, or Wood. Already have Urias. I otherwise have Scherzer, Strasberg, Kluber, Smyly, McCuller, and Iglesias on DL

1:53	Brad Johnson: Yes to Wood

1:53	Jeremy: Anything wrong with Ben Revere?

1:54	Brad Johnson: He missed a bunch of time and he was always a fringy hitter

1:54	Brad Johnson: he’ll get his timing together by the end of June

1:54	JB: Drop Vogt for Cervelli? H2H points league

1:54	Brad Johnson: I would. Vogt’s solid too though

1:55	Brian: Cain and Jackie Bradley for deGrom? If I lose the hitters, I start Pearce and Jhonny when he comes back. deGrom replaces Yordano. Who wins?

1:55	Brad Johnson: Too much for deGrom

1:55	Brad Johnson: Cain alone is more than fair

1:55	Cardinal Sin: Prediction for an Alex Reyes callup? If it happens this year, would it be as a starter or reliever?

1:55	Brad Johnson: hard to say with him missing time. Let’s give it a month

1:55	Go Canes: Relatively low price, consistent QS guy to go after? Hendricks, Porcello?

1:55	Brad Johnson: Porcello’s a good one

1:55	Brad Johnson: Hendricks doesn’t his 6 IP often enough

1:56	Brad Johnson: Hammel and Lackey though

1:56	Brad Johnson: Teheran

1:56	Brad Johnson: Garcia

1:56	Brad Johnson: Colon is the super cheap option

1:57	Rufio: Time to trade Ventura for whatever I can get? He can look so dominant and so brutal in the same inning. Sucks cause I love rooting for the small guy

1:57	Brad Johnson: I’ve had to drop him

1:57	Sam: Would you give up Altuve for Giancarlo and B Phillips? In need of power, good on speed

1:57	Brad Johnson: Given your stated needs, yes

1:57	Colin: Thoughts on Trea Turner? Set at 2b, but wondering if I should still grab in shallow keeper

1:57	Brad Johnson: He’s overhyped as a prospect. He’ll be a solid big leaguer without a ton of fantasy value

1:58	Brad Johnson: all average and SBs

1:58	Brad Johnson: and the average is uncertain

1:58	Brad Johnson: and if he’s not hitting leadoff, that’s all he’ll do

1:58	Two Rs in Jarred: Any chance Jarred Cosart has NL only value again this year?

1:58	Brad Johnson: There’s a chance. I don’t like the odds though

1:58	The Spleen: I am in dire need of SP, 12 team redraft league, and have Glasnow, Giolito, and Taillon all stashed on my bench. Any hope at least one of the 3 contribute? Is Giolito droppable because he is not on the 40-man roster? Urias a better stash?

1:58	Brad Johnson: Do swap Urias and Giolito

1:59	Brad Johnson: the 40-man thing isn’t the problem, he’s gone backwards this year

1:59	Brad Johnson: even without the swap, I’d bet on at least one to be studly in the second half

1:59	Guest: D Valencia or B Drury ros?

2:00	Brad Johnson: The problem with chats is that nobody reads the output…

2:00	Brad Johnson: Brad Johnson 1:14 What are you looking to accomplish? Valencia has more power and bats cleanup. Drury a better pure hitter

2:00	Brad Johnson: That was the very first question I responded to

2:00	Kevin: Traded Prince and street for Freeman in a dynasty league. Howd I do?

2:00	Brad Johnson: fantastically

2:00	John Lackey’s Teeth: Devon Travis or Kolten Wong ROS 5×5 h2h OBP league?

2:00	Brad Johnson: Travis

2:01	Brad Johnson: Only because Wong seems destined to lose time to Diaz

2:01	Brad Ausmus’ Hoodie: If you were building a team to compete in 3+ years, which players currently outside of the top 10 or so in their position would you be targeting?

2:01	Brad Johnson: This hurts my soul. I consulted for a league that rostered over 1,600 players. I would never advocate looking three years in the future

2:02	Brad Johnson: there’s always a shorter path to contention

2:02	TySmith21: Thoughts on Grandal ROS?

2:02	Brad Johnson: He’s very good

2:02	Gavin: Waino just hit WW. Totally cooked or am improvement over Conley?

2:02	Brad Johnson: He may be cooked. How much do you need numbers from that spot? Can you leave it fallow or do you need production?

2:02	Brad Johnson: if it can be fallow, speculate on Waino

2:02	Ryan: Duda and Carlos Gomez were dropped in my league. Either worthy to be picked up at this point?

2:02	Brad Johnson: Duda is

2:03	YaYa: Yasmani Grandal or Yan Gomes?

2:03	Brad Johnson: Grandal

2:03	rich: Sooner ETA Gallo or Brinson? more upside?

2:03	Brad Johnson: Gallo is on the 40-man but hurt

2:03	Brad Johnson: Brinson may need another year+ to be fully ready

2:03	Brad Johnson: I bet we see very little of either this year

2:03	Brad Johnson: Brinson has the higher upside

2:03	Brad Johnson: real world, anyway

2:04	Brad Johnson: There’s a scenario where Gallo is a 60 HR threat, so I guess he’s technically higher upside

2:04	Adam: Kole Calhoun seems a very different hitter this year- do you foresee a power spike and/or an AVG decline? Would you rather have Calhoun or Reddick for the rest of the season?

2:05	Brad Johnson: Reddick. I haven’t looked closely at Calhoun yet because I don’t have any shares and his team is un-DFSable

2:05	Sean: In his last 5 starts, Rubby De La Rosa has faced PIT, STL, MIA, COL (in COL!), and SFG and given up 1 or 0 runs in 4 of those games. 33/10 K/BB and 46/39 GB/FB. Are you buying?

2:05	Brad Johnson: Tentatively. As a guy who can shut down strong lineups and flop against the Braves

2:05	Brad Johnson: I prefer my spot starters to be predictable

2:05	They call me Bruce: When does Jay Bruce get traded?

2:05	Brad Johnson: late June, early July

2:05	jackbob: Do the Rockies trade Mcgee? Who takes over?

2:06	Brad Johnson: Probably. There are a few candidates.

2:07	Brad Johnson: I think they like Carlos Estevez

2:07	Brad Johnson: and Adam Ottavino is working his way back from TJS

2:07	Mike: What kind of impact do you expect Bregman to have when he gets called up? Trying to see if I should scoop him in my AL-only today during my weekly FA bidding!

2:08	Brad Johnson: Substantial. The issue is when he’ll be called up

2:08	Brad Johnson: he’ll be good once he’s here

2:08	Brad Johnson: depends on Colin Moran’s performance. Valbuena might be getting back on track too

2:08	Altherr My Lifestyle: Any news/predictions for when Aaron Altherr will be back in an MLB game?

2:08	Brad Johnson: Nothing new, probably very little, if anything this season

2:09	Brian: Cain for Archer better? Would you feel comfortable putting Pearce in your lineup every week?

2:09	Brad Johnson: Not really (re: Pearce). Given Archer’s struggles, I’d rate him comparably to Nola

2:09	Raising Cain’s: Cain for Nola fair in 10-team dynasty?

2:09	Brad Johnson: Ish

2:09	Brad Johnson: Still prefer the bat

2:10	Colin: In shallow keeper, keep 10 forever, would you trade Xander and Mazara for Price, Hamels and Gregerson? Have Correa too, but hate to give up Xander

2:10	Brad Johnson: Are you trying to ensure a victory this year? Because those are two huge keepers you’d be dumping

2:10	Brad Johnson: YUGE

2:10	Matt: My minor league system includes Trea Turner, Jorge Mateo, and JP Crawford. Regarding fantasy, do you think Crawford will be most relevant? Should I try to sell on Turner hype?

2:10	Brad Johnson: yea I agree with this

2:10	Kyle: Who gets here first: Taillon or Glasnow? Have both stashed but might need to drop one for a pos player.

2:11	Brad Johnson: I think Taillon gets the first call. Could be close to simultaneous

2:11	Taveras’ Ghost: When does Giolito come up? Late summer or an injury?

2:11	Brad Johnson: Injury

2:11	Brad Johnson: two injuries maybe

2:11	Billy: What should I try to get for Albies in a dynasty? Seems his value while in the minors couldn’t get higher?

2:12	Brad Johnson: if you were in my league, I’d say a top 3 closer, top 25 SP, or a top 75 hitter. We’re 900 players deep. If you’re shallower, you get less.

2:13	Earl Weaver: Will Buxton get called up before July..August…?

2:13	Brad Johnson: At this point, I see no reason to promote him until he’s murdering Triple-A. He has a 150 wRC+ now but it’s mostly BABIP. He needs to do even better

2:13	David: Traded Lester, C. Carter, and Wacha for Adam Jones and Cespedes. How did I do?

2:13	Brad Johnson: Solid. I’d hand you the win on that one

2:14	Bo: I have only one DL spot in a 12-team 5×5 H2H mixed redraft with shallow benches. Who do I drop between Raisel Iglesias and Carlos Gomez?

2:14	Brad Johnson: Gomez? Both?

2:14	Brad Johnson: Both

2:14	You don’t bring me Flores: What’s Wilmer Flores’ value in a keeper league?

2:14	Brad Johnson: almost nothing

2:14	Brad Johnson: or nothing

2:14	Brad Johnson: he’s just WIlmer Flores

2:14	Jimmy: Matt Bush, closer in waiting, or are we getting ahead of ourselves?

2:14	Brad Johnson: way ahead

2:15	Brad Johnson: I swear the Rangers have 10 closers in their system

2:15	Brad Johnson: ok, one or two more, I’ll scroll to the end

2:15	Guest: Better stash Snell or Urias -keeper league

2:15	Brad Johnson: I love Snell, but Urias is looking like a monster

2:16	Bob Norton Jr.: Ever play Imagine Sports historical simulation baseball?

2:16	Brad Johnson: I play in a Sim league (currently 2005 season), but not that specific one

2:16	Homeless Wanderer: better trio: Machado 3B Bogaerts SS Yelich OF or Machado SS Donaldson 3B Heyward OF?

2:16	Brad Johnson: Donaldson

2:16	John Lackey’s Teeth: Story for Urias and Odubel in a keeper?

2:17	Brad Johnson: Reasonable for both sides subject to opportunity cost

2:17	Mike: Is Joe Musgrove a future ace?

2:17	Brad Johnson: No, but he’ll be fantasy relevant

2:17	Brad Johnson: Thanks for playing everyone! See you next week.
