Hey all, I opened the queue early to post a poll, but I'm not taking questions yet. If you submit one, I WILL skip it. See you in a half hour.

Help answer Sporer and Wiers' debate on twitter. I think you know which answer I choose.

I'll start up in a moment. I need to finish a paragraph while the thought is fresh!

cool

Ok you have my undivided attention. Let's address these burgers for a moment...

Padilla Eephus

1:47

Can't have a which burger survey without Shake Shack.

Brad Johnson

1:48

I don't know or care what that is. This applies to any of your preferred burger chains. Moving along...

Pat

1:48

Not a fantasy question, but do you think the Yankees could trade Chapman betances or miller for joey gallo if they become sellers at the deadline?

Brad Johnson

1:49

They definitely could/should trade their relievers if they continue to suck

I don't see Gallo as a reasonable target

they already have a Gallo-like prospect in Judge. No need to double down on a high bust rate profile

Matt

1:49

Might have to end up bowing out of this season, so I'm collecting high upside pitching (dynasty keeper). I have Eickhoff, Conley, Finnegin, Graveman. Fulmer just got brought up for bid. Get rid of any of those guys to fit Fulmer?

Brad Johnson

1:50

If it's Michael, no. If it's Carson, I'd probably still stick with what you have.

They're all around the same asset class. The Fulmers may have higher ceilings though

Fisk, Baby

1:50

Heyward and Gordon--time to cut bait?

Brad Johnson

1:50

Negatory

1:51

Do put them on your bench though

PS

1:51

drop one: Nicasio, Finnegan, Conley, Glasnow, Berrios

Brad Johnson

1:51

If it's redraft, I'd just cut Glasnow. In a keeper, cut Nicasio.

Pirates fan

1:51

What are your thoughts on Gerrit Cole this year? He seems to be struggling to go deep in games to start the season, missing his spots and giving up a lot of baserunners.

Brad Johnson

1:52

I'll admit I've only watched bits of his starts. What I've seen looks like he's trying to throw through hitters and not getting there.

StroShow

1:52

What are your general expectations for John Lamb this season? Do you think he will stick in Cincy's rotation?

Brad Johnson

1:52

I'm not on the Lamb bandwagon. CIN is a terrible place to be a unfinished pitcher

Horn Please ThankYou

1:52

Who would you rather have, Odubel (who seems to be enjoying a breakout already) or D. Santana/Soler (who are still mostly projection), in a keeper league?

Brad Johnson

1:53

Speaking of bandwagons, only the Phillies front office beat me onto the Odubel bandwagon. I'm a big fan of his.

I don't care for Soler, I see him as a fourth outfielder

so do the Cubs if their moves tell us anything

cool

1:54

I do like Santana a lot. Call it a push between Santana and Odubel. Herrera's the better option in OBP

Royal Man

1:54

You think Saunders stays in leadoff spot? If so, can he approach 100 Runs in that lineup?

Brad Johnson

1:54

He'll never stay healthy for 100 runs. But yes, he'll match that pace at the least. And who else leads off?

Joe

1:55

12 team points league, would you deal Posey to get back Odor and Wilson Ramos? Currently platooning Castro and Lowrie at second.

Brad Johnson

1:55

No. Maybe if it's a keeper and Odor has a good price

Young Jeezy

1:55

What is your outlook for David Peralta? He has been pretty disappointing thus far. And still clueless against lefties.

Brad Johnson

1:55

That's an accurate assessment. He'll come around against righties. He won't hit lefties.

Robbie

1:55

Has Chris Tillman finally turned the corner in becoming a higher-end starter?

Brad Johnson

1:56

No.

He's turned a corner at picking upon the Rays crappy offense.

Astro Boy

1:56

Is it time to cut bait on Tyler White, even in AL-only leagues?

Brad Johnson

1:57

Not AL Only, but just about everywhere else

Young Jeezy

1:57

Maikel Franco going to be a series of highs and lows this year?
