Brad Johnson RotoGraphs Chat ? 5/17
powered byJotCast
Breakout Stars..?
1:14
Brandon Drury, Danny Valencia?
Brad Johnson
1:14
What are you looking to accomplish? Valencia has more power and bats cleanup. Drury a better pure hitter
John
1:15
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
1:15
Not sure I understand where the SS comes in
But that's a fine trade if you need pitching
if you don't, then it's unnecessary

Should I trade
Brad Johnson
1:16
Sure

Thoughts on Billy Hamilton? Will he OBP enough to even be a worth bench option?
Brad Johnson
1:16
I've said all along, he's so hard to manage
but if his cost is down to mostly free, he's worth the headache
The Boss
1:16
What could I get for Duda in a 10-team dynasty?
Brad Johnson
1:17
Not very much. A bottom 10 closer, top 5 non-closer, John Lackey-type SP
Billy
1:17
Is Grichuk ok?
Brad Johnson
1:18
I think so, expectations were WAY too high entering the season. He's a nice player with upside but everybody treated him as actualized
Richard Simmons
1:18
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?
Brad Johnson
1:18
I don't think you have to run. If you have a natural spot for him, he's a solid stash
Eric
1:18
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.
Brad Johnson
1:19
I was so happy for the dead cat bounce in my dynasty league last year. Turned him into three useful players
I think his goose is cooked. Look at Carlos Lee for how his body type usually ages
in short, rapidly
Steve
1:20
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?
Brad Johnson
1:20
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
but you probably hang onto Keuchel and Archer
try to rehabilitate the pitching
Charlotte the bassador
1:21
time to pull the plug on Rusell Martin? OBP league... Any love for Wieters, Cervelli, Montero, Derek Norris, Satly, Wolters (for the speed?)
Brad Johnson
1:22
I'm a huge Cervelli fan. He's a top 5? 8? C
He's near the top in any case
Jeet
1:22
Thoughts on Ian Kinsler rest of the season? Top 5 2B in mixed leagues?
Brad Johnson
1:22
If healthy, he's near the top of the pile. So many good 2B though that health will be a big factor
Matt
1:23
I got until 6 pm CST to make the swap - 1 Start McCullers (TEX) or 2-start Miley (BAL & CIN)? QS/ERA/WHIP/K
Brad Johnson
1:23
*cringe*
is neither an option?
if not, I guess Miley is the only answer. Might get a QS or two
McCullers probably doesn't throw more than 5+ IP

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.
Brad Johnson
1:25
My home league (12 team mixed, 30 player rosters, 7 BN) has Dansby Swanson, Andrew Benintendi, Reed, and Bregman.
So I didn't follow instructions and included Astros
not sure why you'd leave them out, they're going to supply a bunch of the top pre-ASB talent
Glasnow, Taillon, and Brault in PIT
