Another save last night for Jim Johnson. He's not giving up the closer spot this season.

How exactly did he get the job? Did Vizcaino just s*** the bed?

 

I'd be all for acquiring a low end closer and sneaking him past the off-season cut if there was a reasonable chance of him keeping the job.

Vizcaino got hurt, Johnson took the job and played well. Vizcaino is back and not pitching well, so Johnson keeps it.

 

No chance Johnson retains the job into next year though IMO. Purely a save play for contenders this year.

 

Also, he's been traded to njh:

 

my 4 and 5 waiver picks for his two 3s.

d'Arnaud. Available for pitching that will help me next year

 

I'm struggling to figure out Travis D'arnaud's fantasy appeal at this point. He's 27. In theory, he should be peaking offensively but if this is his offensive peak than he's just not going to provide value in the fake game (real game might be a different story but that's irrelevant).

Yeah I've tried really hard to convince myself to trade for d'Arnaud and just can't find the thought process.

I even offered some stuff a couple of months ago that I'm glad was not accepted because old Yadier is simply better on the roster right now.

Jim Johnson is a solid back-end save collector in our little racket. Maybe not a reliever you want to roll with every day, but in a tight week where you really need saves, you can bench one of your better holds guys and roll with JJ for the category play. There's definite utility there, I've been abusing him in BORED since he got the job.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I'm not trying to disingenuously torpedo someone else's asset. I still have residual attachment to the guy and my catching isn't great so if I could find the appeal, I might do something. I wish I could see more there than I do.

He's fine, I'm just laughing remembering the response I got when I tried to sell him to NJH last year.

 

For others:

 

April 11th, 2015.

 

Me --> I actually have a bonus RP already so I have less than no interest. You'd have to pay me to roster Jim Johnson. Your thoughts?

You --> I'd be concise: Lol @ BONUS Frieri!

I'll like him more in the offseason I think.

Why?

 

Well... more wiggle room on the roster; don't have to make room for him. Fresh season would be upcoming for Darno.

Instant Gattisfaction! :D Welcome home, you one-trick pony.

 

Surprised you were the only team in on him. Just hit 20-HR, and that's after missing time and then starting very slow after coming back.

Catcher is a wasteland. I traded him because he lost C eligibility, but now that he has it back, he's an asset again. He's also been on fire over the last month. Easy keeper for me.

He's definitely a keeper. Playing time is the only real thing between him providing 30 homers and 75 RBI from the C position next year. That's huge in a league where legit contenders are starting guys like Nick Hundley and Yadi Molina.

Catching this year is AWFUL.

 

The position is essentially flat after the top ~4 names because everybody sucks. I don't remember the position ever being so thin.

 

Even Posey has been mediocre.

He's been shopping Gattis and other pieces for weeks now, IIRC.

 

Correct. I first posted that I'd like to move him on August 11th. I got zero inquiries.

All my ratios this week are pug fugly, it sure isn't a runaway.

Grandal really sucked all year and then just recently decided to stop sucking and be Mike Piazza instead.

His bat has been carrying my lineup in the LOD.

Mike Zunino is pretty good
