Brad Johnson: Hey folks, let’s get started.

Brad Johnson: Did anyone else see that Marlins Man found John Coppalella working at the Marlins Teamco office?

Kaush: Hey Brad! I want to sell high on Lucchesi and/or Porcello. Who are some good buy low SP’s to target? Or do you think I should just keep them? Thanks!

Brad Johnson: I have a feeling you’re just not going to find the kinds of players you’ll want to buy. Passable closers or 3-category batters make sense

Brad Johnson: Thinking like Neris or Yonder

Ben: is Lucchesi an add in 13 team mixed redraft?

Paul Sporer: Hi everybody! We’re going to have to be a tight hour today, so let’s get started!

Ms. Happ: Start Reynaldo Lopez tonight?

Paul Sporer: Yep

Boomfizzle: Ohtani runs like a cheetah. It’s a shame he won’t ever be allowed to steal a base.

Paul Sporer: Yeah it’s just an unnecessary risk for their prized pitcher

Schoop of Ice Cream: If the Blue Jays have any intention of bringing up Vlad Jr. this year, why not do it next week, if even just until JD is back? The extra year of service time clock will pass this weekend, and if they’re serious about contending he might be the best bat to fill in at 3rd will Donaldson heals

Brad Johnson: Let’s get rolling in a minute or two. I’ll be off on twitter to scrape some competition for ya.

o’HOOLIGAN’S: I have Alex Reyes, Dinelson Lamet and Greg Bird on the DL but only two DL spots so one of them is taking up a bench spot. Drop one of them for Albers in a 12-team 5×5 roto league? My closers are Iglesias, Kela and Soria right now.

Brad Johnson: Could drop Lamet. I don’t think you have to go out of your way for another part time closer.

Brad Johnson: I’d probably save that move for a more meaningful addition

Erik: You’re a daily guy, right? How do you decide when to pay up for a top pitcher instead of running with a cheaper guy? I usually go for the cheapest starter that I’m comfortable with in order to get as many top bats into the lineup as possible, but on nights like last night I get burnt when Scherzer and Kluber are predictably dominant.

Brad Johnson: I only play GPPs so for me it comes down to expected ownership rates.

Paul Sporer: Hello, everyone!! Welcome to the chat!

Senta: Patrick Corbin a 10-team hold (as opposed to stream) now?   If so, any of these players you’d drop to add him?:  Yonder, Brach, Kingery.  Thanks!

Paul Sporer: Ya I think we gotta hold him in all formats. Corbin is throwing his slider a TON and getting big results (42% K, 18% SwStr). It won’t stay this great, but he’s also not a fluke

Big Tuna: Is Chase Anderson’s velo drop concerning?

Paul Sporer: A little in that I was going to be watching his velo early on anyway just to see if he held the ’17 gains

SiscoKid: What kind of upside to Newcomb and Gohara have?

Brad Johnson: Hi folks, let’s get started in a few moments.

Brad Johnson: I probably need to stop right at 5:00 today as I have some other work to finish before social sports time.

Sam: Would you be trying to trade Francisco Mejia in a dynasty in fear that he won’t be catcher-eligible?

Brad Johnson: At least in my dynasty leagues (20 team, 1 C slot), losing the C eligibility isn’t a bad thing.

Brad Johnson: Every day players with OF eligibility are more valuable than 450 PA from a C. Usually

Wes: Thanks for chatting Brad. I lost Salvy to injury. In the meantime should I roll with Tucker Barnhart or Francisco Cervelli? Thanks!

Paul Sporer: Hello!! We finally have baseball!!!!!!!

Paul Sporer: OK, now onto the questions…

Paul Sporer: BTW, include context with your questions or they might be useless (how many teams, format)

Hannah Hochevar: So why is it that Cleveland doesn’t make the playoffs?

Paul Sporer: The bad fastballs of virtually their entire staff, a lame OF, and lack of depth

Tiger: Watching Zimmerman today. 8 Ks, 1 BB. Only two extra-base hits. The 4 ER aren’t pretty, but a new pitch (2 seamer). Any thoughts? Have any looks at him?
