We'll get started in a few moments

At what point do you give up on Votto?
Brad Johnson
4:01
When he suffers a major injury
Certainly, we should adjust the expectations
4:02
He's a core performing 1B with potential to turn hot. Kind of like a better Mitch Moreland
That's still startable in 12-team mixed.
4:03
The power is probably gone, but I think the walks and Ks will regress
And as I pointed out elsewhere today, you don't need power to hit 20 home runs at GABP

When will we see Yordan Alvarez in Houston?? Before the super 2 deadline?
Brad Johnson
4:04
The biggest barrier to Alvarez's promotion is the lack of competition in the AL West. Houston isn't taking Seattle or Texas seriously, and LAA/OAK have losing records
He would be up now if they had any pressure to improve.
4:05
I think he'll be up in June or July at this rate. They'll want time to figure out their best roster for the postseason (and to develop their future plans).
Presently, a promotion would involve discarding a player.

Travis Shaw: K's up, horrible babip. Is this the real Shaw or is a rebound possible/probable?
Brad Johnson
4:06
I honestly remain perplexed. I have no insight into this. None of the usual peripherals for "he got worse" are lighting up
He's just stopped hitting pitches, especially in the zone
4:07
I dunno. I'm going to assume it's mechanical or he has an undiagnosed head injury.
(the latter option is, hopefully, a joke)
Matt
4:07
Need to get a (potentially) temporary replacement for Iglesias. Do I bid up Givens, or you thinking Jackson has the job in ATL?
Brad Johnson
4:07
I'd rather try Jackson and be wrong than ever roster Givens.
Can also hope Buttrey suddenly gets some opps
Siri

Do you see Michael Chavis as a 25 homer, .340 OBP guy?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Smells about right

Is Gausman droppable in a 12 team?  He feels like a streamer to me.
Brad Johnson
4:08
He's on the good side of the streamer pool. He might be available for months or somebody might decide to permanently roster him
Which isn't a bad thing for you

Is Kyle Tucker worth holding on to?
Brad Johnson
4:08
Depends on the format.
4:09
Anything approaching dynasty, definitely.
Bob
4:09
Preference? Christian Walker or Daniel Vogelbach?
Brad Johnson
4:09
Vogelbach

Rank these 3 players: Michael Chavis, Jesse Winker, Franmil Reyes
Brad Johnson
4:09
Reverse order
Very close between Reyes and Winker
Chavis is a distant third
4:10
Reyes IS Khris Davis
Nick
4:10
Any hot start in particular that you are buying?
Brad Johnson
4:10
Hunter Dozier jumps out
Wish I had grabbed a few more shares
Pine Needles
4:10
Ketel Marte or Nick Senzel?
