Brad Johnson: Alrighty, we’ll get started in a few moments

Brian the Bull: Brian Dozier: Slow April per usual, or is he still hurt?

Brad Johnson: I’m going to go with neither. His peripherals look dead and toasted

Brad Johnson: But I think he’s healthy

Dave in London: Thanks for your insight Brad. AL, 10-team 4 x 4 league. I’ve got Dylan Cease ($1), Sean Murphy($3) and Daz Cameron ($4) on my reserve. Can I reasonably expect to see them in the majors by the All-Star break, and which do you think might make the best bait?

Brad Johnson: Murphy is the likeliest to make the majors this season imo

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m back from a day of watching my son play soccer. The @rotographs FAAB and Waiver chat will begin in a few minutes. I need to scour some news feeds to see if I need to adjust some FAAB bids.

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m good for now, time to start

Max Johnson: Do you like Goodrum this year? SSS but xstats/peripherals look nice.

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s very boring but productive. I’d not be surprised if he was a top-50 player by season’s end

BigTuna: If I have a beat up offense plus Sale, Darvish, Mikolas, Musgrove, Glasnow, and Pineda, would you drop Y. Chirinos for O’Neill, A. Gordon, Dozier, Leonys, or C. Walker or hold and try to trade arm for bat? (12 tm OPS)

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes for Walker, Gordon, or Leonys and possibly Dozier depending on which one. Yes for Brian, no for Hunter

Paul Sporer: It’s time to talk some baseball! Thanks for coming out, everyone!!

ke’bryan mays hayes: Joe Musgrove owns. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer: Agreed, but I really don’t like “thoughts?” questions… it’s not really a question. You had the benefit of being first in the chat. I love Musgrove, though.

John: When do GB rates stabilize for the year?

Paul Sporer: About 70 batted balls

John: Paul help me with Desmond.  Is he droppable or should I ride this out?  GB rate is down 20 points but all statcast measures look terrible.

Paul Sporer: Hey everyone! We’ll begin in just a moment and run through the hour.

Greg: Thoughts on Darvish? Sliders looked pretty nasty early yesterday, but it has been a rough go.

Paul Sporer: I do wonder if that late-spring blister is still an issue at this point. He just doesn’t look like he did early in spring.

WeaverTruther: Was there anything in Weaver’s first start to get excited about, or get legitimately worried about?

Paul Sporer: Nothing I’m worry about. Bad start against a good team. He’s the kinda guy I’m giving 3 starts to assess. After that, he’s cuttable bc he wasn’t a high priced pick

BK: I have a $49 Arenado at 3B and a $15 Cruz at UTL in Ottoneu points league. How can I get Maikel Franco in my lineup or what should I be looking for in return for a $1 Franco?

Brad Johnson: We’ll kick off in a few minutes. Let’s talk some actual baseball.

Brad Johnson: PS I love the Socrates Brito acquisition for the Blue Jays. That’s probably who the Giants should have nabbed instead of paying for Kevin Pillar.

Brad Johnson: Ok, I’m back. Headphones on, 90s playlist selected, let’s roll.

Mmm Mmm Good: Peter Alonso is a Top-5 1B.  Fight me.

Brad Johnson: Goldy, Votto, Hoskins, Freeman, Rizzo in no particular order

Brad Johnson: I win

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m going to focus on answering WW and FAAB question and then go back through and answer general fantasy questions.

Cameron: In a 10 team h2h 6×6 with ops and k/9, what % should I be bidding on Kike Hernandez and Corbin Burnes?

Jeff Zimmerman: 3% to 5% each

Kyle Hendricks: top 3 waiver wire adds?

Jeff Zimmerman: Way too vague

tWins : Jay Bruce, Kole Calhoun or Scott Schebler going forward?

Brad Johnson: We’ll get started in a few minutes.

Brad Johnson: I expect this to be a busy chat so try not to flood questions at me.

Brad Johnson: Some of you are sneaky

Brad Johnson: I like to spread my answers around

Jason: Merrill Kelly or Anthony DeSclafani ?

Brad Johnson: I’ll take the devil I don’t know for now

Brad Johnson: Let’s get the queue rolling. We’ll start in a few minutes.

Brad Johnson:

JC at the Bat: Hi Brad –  10 Team NL only auction.  Deciding between my last 2 keepers.  I am thinking either Strop / AJ Minter (theoretically could not have to bid on a closer) or L Castillo / Marquez (2 low floor, high ceiling lottery picks).  The Auction calculator say to go with the latter, and I hate wasting keeper spots on closers….but SAVES!  Any advice?

Brad Johnson: Definitely go for the SP

Brad Johnson: I think I still prefer Marquez by a small margin (was asked the same Castillo or Marquez in past weeks)

Brad Johnson: They’re both very talented pitchers with some ballpark and track record issues.

Brad Johnson: We’ll kick off in a few minutes

Ryan: 6×6 H2H (w/OPS) who do you like better, Colin Moran or Renato Nunez (it’s a deep league).

Brad Johnson: Moran is massively more talented. Nunez is not a major league player.

Brad Johnson: That said, there’s a rather unhindered opportunity for Nunez whereas Moran is on the way out in Pittsburgh. Ke’Bryan Hayes seems likely to take over 3B by mid-season and Kang is still around too.

Brad Johnson: Plus some utility guys

Brad Johnson: it’s a crowded infield
