Young Philly

1:36

Do you think the Phillies put Neris in at closer at any point this season?

Brad Johnson

1:36

Yep. Him or Hernandez

Red in the Face

1:36

How many saves do you think Cingrani finishes with this year? How many for Jumbo Diaz?

Brad Johnson

1:36

10 apiece?

OddBall Herrera

1:36

I am crossing my fingers that Swanson comes up at 2B - think there's a higher chance than with Albies because he used to play there. What say you?\

Brad Johnson

1:36

I'm hearing he's more likely to be the SS. Albies might be a super UTIL guy

Jon

1:36

Who would you drop for Taillon among Liriano, Lackey, Teheran, Jaime Garcia?

Brad Johnson

1:37

I'd drop Teheran

even if he keeps pitching OK, he'll win what? 3 games?

Gorky

1:37

Sam Dyson gonna run away with this thing?

Brad Johnson

1:37

I hope so. I've been a fan of his since his final Marlins season

Frank

1:37

deep mixed league...move archer to get odor (i have pretty good SP w/o Arch)...value fair?

Brad Johnson

1:37

Yea, I think that's reasonable

1:38

but...if you wait to see if he's suspended 15 games, you might get a better deal

Robert Duvall

1:38

Is Adam Duvall better than expected?

Brad Johnson

1:38

No, this is roughly expected behavior out of him. The move to Cincinnati was a huge boon for him as a fantasy target

Frank

1:38

E. Suarez or A. Russell rst of this year only? is it close?

Brad Johnson

1:38

Suarez for me

1:39

some would say it's close. I don't

Osman

1:39

Should I trade for correa since he is a nice sell low candidate

Brad Johnson

1:39

Nothing wrong with the second best SS in baseball

1:40

now that Machado is a SS almost everywhere again

OddBall Herrera

1:40

What ranking would you give A.J. Reed among 1B for next year? 1B is deep so top 5 seems silly, but top 10?

Brad Johnson

1:40

top 20? He hasn't even mastered Triple-A yet so let's not get out of hand

Matt

1:40

Pineda and McHugh droppable in deep 10 team dynasty (40 man rosters) or are they spot start worthy? I have Thor, Salazar, J.Garcia, Taijuan, Wacha, Pomeranz, Conley, Gausman.

Brad Johnson

1:40

McHugh is

hang onto Pineda

a hot streak plus his name value could return a nice player

Bill

1:40

Conforto or Wil Myers for the ROS? Myers w/ the injury risk, and Conforto w/ the inability to hit LHP

Brad Johnson

1:41

Conforto and a platoon caddy?

Something Brewing

1:41

Do you think Corey Knebel is the Brewers closer once the trade deadline passes?

Brad Johnson

1:41

Will Smith I think. Missing most of the season will hurt his trade value too much to deal him at the deadline

Minor Problems

1:41

When do you think Nick Williams will get called up by the Phillies?

Brad Johnson

1:41

2017.5

Micah

1:42

Shallow 10-teamer, and my team is stacked and no one I wanna cut. Okay strategy to just take the zero for Odor's 2B slot for the duration of his suspension?

Brad Johnson

1:42

It hurts but sometimes you have to do it

the thing about shallow leagues is you always think your end of roster guys are can't cut

they're usually fungible

Pimple Popper MD

1:43

Whose stats would you rather have for the rest of the year in an NL only 5x5 non-keeper league: Kazmir or Jimmy Nelson?

Brad Johnson

1:43

well this is tricky
