Brad Johnson: So what shall we discuss today? There’s always a couple recurring questions.

Dr. Met: I’m very bad at my job….

Brad Johnson: As good a topic to start with as any. The Mets seemingly have no capacity for managing their medical issues

Brad Johnson: They have the same problems as every other team, but they always make themselves look so hapless

rustydude: 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?

Brad Johnson: 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.

Brad Johnson: I’m sitting here pondering the age old question of unicorns or eunuch horns. Perhaps it’s time to start.

Brad Johnson:

Starling Marte: Oops

Brad Johnson: Yea, so let’s get this out of the way.

Brad Johnson: You’re all going to ask about Austin Meadows, I think we’ll see him for a 1-2 months of these 80 games

Brad Johnson: For now, Adam Frazier will continue to absorb OF starts. Maybe we see some Bell out there too. Alen Hanson seems like he should be utile enough to do some OF too.

Brad Johnson: Let’s talk some baseball!

Brad Johnson: 30 home runs in 14 games included four! multi-homer games

Brad Johnson: is it too soon to say the HRs are back?

Conor: Who’s your bet to get save chances in Oakland?

Brad Johnson: Sean Doolittle is their best reliever

Brad Johnson: sounds like it’ll be a hodge-podge for awhile

Paul Sporer: Ladies and gentlmen, we are 2 days away from regular season games!!!! Let’s go!

Larry: better JD Martinez replacement: Mitch Haniger or Josh Bell?

Paul Sporer: Haniger

cheeto sandwich: am I delicious?

Paul Sporer: obv

Captgus: Hey Paul, are you not doing the weekly pitcher rankings at Rotowire this year?

Brad Johnson: Hello everyone, I’m going to take the next couple minutes to finally renew my MLB.tv, then we’ll get started

Dave: How worried should the Mets be about Steven Matz long term? I understand he is young and sometimes these guys just all of a sudden stay healthy for 3,4,5 years but this is becoming very troubling.

Brad Johnson: Pitcher health is always a pain for us fantasy owners. Everybody is a long term concern. That said, Matz certainly isn’t winning the “health as a skill” championship

Brad Johnson: I think it’s time to treat him like a Francisco Liriano – promising when everything is clicking, but so frequently out of sorts

Mike Milligan: Thanks for the bonus chat! 4th pick in a 12 team draft today. Kershaw Betts Altuve Bryant. Please rank assuming some are available

Brad Johnson: So…these are the types of questions I don’t like 🙂
