Would you look at this. Brian Johnson, who has endured plenty on his path to the majors including a line drive to the head, getting robbed at gunpoint, and overwhelming anxiety was called up for a spot start for the Red Sox and absolutely dominated with a 9.0 IP, 0 ER, 5 Hits, 0 BBs, 8 Ks and shook us all game long. Keep in mind, this is the same Brian Johnson who looked disappointing as anything in 2015, made a career of sounding just like another vocalist, and got a solid meh in his previous outing on April 18th. He's being sent back down to the minors for now so this isn't really all too fantasy relevant, but I want to make sure you guys aren't stashing him for his next callup. His command is fine and he has a solid loopy Curveball but I see plenty of blegh outings in his future with some moments of brilliance. Possible streamer with upside of being a Toby. That's it.
Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:
Nick, you are a Toby.
That’s not good.
Would you trade Bundy + Eduardo for Fulmer?
Depends on my state of SP. If I had depth already yes, it’s a good 2-for-1. I imagine in a good handful of cases I’d like to keep the depth with Edu and Bundy, though.
