Brad Johnson

I might try to do a comedy show soon. Or not. It would be under my pen name.

Shawty, You A Teahen

When Mark Teahen is confronted by the reality of the baseball gods, he must join forces with his hated rival, the Cardinal of St. Louis, to thwart a nefarious plot.

@BryanHoch Does the no RBI on DP apply in this scenario?

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@Mitch_Rupert He's going to have some 4-homer weeks. He's been helaciously unlucky.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@drivelinekyle @BaseballWRLD_ Came by to say the same. Mead was a top 30 prospect while Sanchez was looked at as a kind of interesting reliever type.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@MiamiMarlins_UK For many years, it looked like a heist on behalf of the Rays.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@IanMBrowne Overpay for Senzatela. Problem solved.

Honestly, I wouldn't believe too much in those bulk outing results.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

Alec Bohm has a 114 wRC+ since the start of May. Which is on the good side of his normal output.

Just as with the April slump, he looks like he always looks.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@ManBearHawk No, there's no reason for them not to chase the PPI next year (I think it'll remain if not expand). They have 1-2 months to see if a guy seemingly built for Coors Field can style.

Bold Prediction:

Keaton Anthony will be the Rockies starting 1B in August.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

Zack Wheeler's fastballs (he throws 4 if you count a firm splitter) are down about half a stuff grade.

His two breaking balls have career-best spin.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

(I'm not sure if the Phillies are spending Anthony on Mickey Mo or Senzatela, both look like passable matches)

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

And the Phillies obviously have other needs. I think they can patch up the OF with $ rather than meaningful prospects. They should connect on another SP, but it can be more of a depth-ish piece.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

I'd like to see the Phillies trade for (and extend) Adley Rutschman. Of course, putting together the prospects necessary will be a challenge. It's a sell-low window on Aidan Miller. Unclear if they'd want Justin Crawford. Maybe Gage Wood as a centerpiece, but who else?

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@rossjensen I agree, good for him.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@EricCrossMLB I'd probably extend the window and tag Jazz for AL 2B.

NL 3B should just be a SS.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@robneyer Not that being part of Texas would be better... far worse, in fact.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

It confuses me how a person can be capable of playing professional basketball and also do this.

[MLB @MLB]

When Victor Wembanyama threw the 1st pitch in New York 👀

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@JustinMacmahan Is this facetious? It's $25.

You get a $2200 tax credit per year.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@PARSlist What he did last year is very much what he always promised to do--about a league-average hitter with pos and neg traits canceling out.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@PARSlist He was frequently overrated as a prospect (Keith Law called me out for saying so, but I had receipts from actual scouts)
