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.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

Nobody has to solve this question.

Juan Soto is an extreme example. But the wrinkle of a team like the Mets fitting a large contract under a hard cap raises a complicated issue. https://t.co/L0b6I2z1L4

@rossjensen @mdthomp_PLive @24_7BaseballFan Another difference is Judge was a divisive prospect, but you could readily find scouts who believed in him all the way.

With Jones, scouts love the power, but I've yet to find anyone with nice things to say about the total package.

The last glowing report I got on him was 2022.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@rossjensen @mdthomp_PLive @24_7BaseballFan (Judge was only around 12% SwStr% in the minors, so the MLB drop from 18% to 13% didn't feel out of nowhere)

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@rossjensen @mdthomp_PLive @24_7BaseballFan Dude swings stupendously hard though. Might be the John Daly of baseball. If MLB doesn't work out, he could set up some Long Drive competitions via the Bananas and make something new.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@rossjensen @mdthomp_PLive @24_7BaseballFan I very much did not believe Judge would ever make enough contact to be a reliable MLB contributor. I'm happy to double down on that take with Jones. Judge has some unique intangibles that didn't come through in that generation of data. Jones doesn't seem to have those traits.

Come on, gotta call out Merlin!

[IGN @IGN]

British actor Anthony Head, best known for portraying Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Rupert Mannion in Ted Lasso, has died aged 72.

Years ago, I traded Matt McLain and Jackson Merrill for Luis Robert. He was near the height of his value.

Yikes on all accounts. (I'd definitely undo that one even with low-rolls from McLain and Merrill).

This is a Drew Rasmussen tweet. (he gets no respect in fantasy)

Love the "this is a baseball" photo.

[Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB]

TRANSFER: Texas State shortstop Dawson Park is headed to LSU. Coming off a .301/.387/.575 2026 season where he hit 13 homers. Exceptional defender with physical projection and twitch.

No. 38 ranked prospect for the 2027 Draft.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

lol, the ragebait.

There is no race. It's June 5.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

@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.

[Brad Johnson @BaseballATeam]

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)
