Brad Johnson: Apologies for the brief delay. People showed up to drill holes in my walls

Brad Johnson: Some kind of fire sprinkler maintenance. Anyway, let’s get going.

The Farthammer: i pulled off a heist of a trade in my dynasty league and ive been waiting all day for my league mates to text me complaining….and ive received nothing. WHERES THE FUN IN THAT?!?!?!

Brad Johnson: Ennui

Salvador Perez Hilton: Thoughts on Profar RoS? Has he just been lucky so far?

Brad Johnson: Well yea, he’s not going to be a top 10 hitter RoS

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all. Let’s get started! Still all bout that Coloring Book right now:

The Cincinnati Kid: Would you trade Beltre & Hamilton (Kept in Rd 19) for Blackmon? Beltre and Blackmon cannot be kept. Am I greedy for wanting to get a pick back for Hamilton?

Paul Sporer: Josh Hamilton? Yes. He’s useless. I’d do the deal

Junior Felix: Do you find it at all suspicious that Felix hit the DL with a calf strain? Will the few weeks off turn out to be a blessing for The King?

Paul Sporer: Not suspicious. if you’re suggested it might be a little trumped up, you may well be right. doesn’t bother me. I was calling for that kind of stint for Harvey, but he might’ve worked through it v. CWS

Astro Boy: Do we see both Bregman and Reed come up in June? Who do you like better long-term?

Brad Johnson: Hey everyone, I’m running just a couple minutes behind. We’ll get started soon.

Brad Johnson: Ok, let’s rumble. I have much need calories to consume.

Brad Johnson: needed*

John Sterling: Hi Brad! 10 team 6×6 league OPS & QS being the added categories, was offered my Rich Hill and Oddball Herrera for his Jeff Samardzija, Adrian Gonzalez, and Colby Rasmus? Do I pull the trigger on this one or are Hill and Herrera for real?

Brad Johnson: Was this counting Hill’s supposedly minor injury? It’s tempting to take the more established guys to ensure a higher floor. With it being a fairly shallow league, it’s always best to focus on the best player. Which, honestly, could be any of the five. I’m a big Herrera fan, but his supporting cast limits his ceiling

Hooha: do you think the Astros will call up Bregman or Reed this summer?

Paul Sporer: We’ll get going very soon.

Saul: Give me some hope on Buxton and Bregman; I have them stashed in AL only, are both up within the next couple weeks?

Paul Sporer: Not really sure when they will be up, but they’re super-young, super-talented players. Gotta be patient.

Rich: my Price ($45) / Abreu($35)/ JP Crawford($2) for his Carassco($10)/ McCullers($10)/ Piscotty ($5) …. 14 team 5×5 , 10 keepers with annual $5 inflation/ $300 budget. Competing this year 4th place so far, need to fix my pitching ratios and top 5 in all O, but also trying to get some cheaper talent as we didn’t have a lot of $ at the draft this year. Still have Cueto(15)/Salazar(10)/Chen(17)/Estrada(2)/Conley(1)/Wright(5) & E5(26)/ Altuve(26) /Donaldson(20) /Villar(10) /Cruz(25) /Park(12)/Parra(14)/Saunders(5)/Inciarte(10) /Bregman(5) –good return?

Paul Sporer: That’s definitely fair. Plus if you don’t quite win this year, you have keepable options

fromSleeper2Bust: currently rostering Will Harris & Neris to complement my Ramos, Chapman, Rondon pen in roto. Any better SU guys you’d recommend.

Brad Johnson: Let’s get this going. I tried putting an apple in my smoothie today and it’s gross

Alex: Hey Brad. My Drew Smyly and Rasmus for his Lorenzo Cain and Jepsen? 20 teamer, keep forever league.

Brad Johnson: I think you can do that, but it’s not a must trade if you don’t need saves

Mr. Wrestling IV: You gotta take out the seeds

Brad Johnson: I did that, it’ just gross mushy.

Odor Rules: Would you trade McCann and Carlos Martinez (my 5th starter) for Posey?

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

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

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).

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

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

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

Brad Johnson: Ahoy there. Let’s get this shindig started

JD: Hi Brad, should I drop any of Gausman, Conley, Roark for Rodon in a 10-teamer H2H redraft? I’m a little nervous about Rodon’s velocity drop on his fastball and am not sure if he’ll put it together this year.

Brad Johnson: They’re all the same asset class, you should be able to stream them or comparable pitchers with ease in a 10 teamer

Brad Johnson: so play matchups

Gina: Should I try to buy low on Degrom or does he not have enough starts for panicking

Brad Johnson: You can try, but I doubt his owner is actually selling low
