Justin Mason

I guess, but this is a loaded FYPD, so I think I either take the highest upside player or trade the pick for more picks/an impact player.
Dwilly
10:41
What kind of player is the 5th pick in a fypd worth in a trade? I think I might be over valuing the pick.
Justin Mason
10:42
Got to give me more information on the league depth and format. This is a loaded draft though, so don't sell short on the high picks.
Rickey
10:42
What do you see as realistic in playing time expectations for Brandon Crawford, Wilmer Flores and Thairo Estrada? How much should their prices drop with Correa in town?
Justin Mason
10:43
I don't think their playing time changes at all. Crawford moves to third and Thairo is the second baseman with Flores at first. If the Giants bring in someone else, then there are questions.
Not Dayton Moore
10:44
Rumor mill has been full of chatter that new special advisor Dayton Moore caught Josh Jung crankin it and he is now available in exchange for pitching. How does the possibility of Pablo Lopez the Ranger affect his value.
Justin Mason
10:44
Feel like that is some wishful thinking. Jung isn't getting moved unless the Rangers get an overpay.
10:45
Need more questions...

Darvish or McKenzie?   H2H keeper league
Justin Mason
10:45
In a keeper, I lean McKenzie because of Darvish's health, but it is close.
Oddball Herrera
10:45
Would you be keeping Elly more at a lotto ticket cost, or at a "future star" cost?
Justin Mason
10:45
I think future star cost.
Clay

Been in on Edward Olivares for a few years. Between injuries and just lack of playing time, he keeps frustrating me. Any chance he ever becomes a .800 ops guy while getting consistent playing time.
Justin Mason
10:47
Man, the Royals hate him with a "Motte-like intensity" #06010. Reports are that the Royals may trade Michael A. Taylor to give Isbel more time. I am still taking dart throws on Oliveras, but I don't trust KC.
The Final Boss
10:47
How are you adjusting Justin Turner in Fenway? Have a feeling he might wear out the monster.
Justin Mason
10:49
I am feeling like I have no idea what Boston is doing. I think it is a decent landing spot for him because he could hit cleanup there and likely is a DH most days which can help him stay on the field.

Does Kim stand to lose the most playing time when Tatis comes back?
Justin Mason
10:49
Nah, I think Tatis goes to the outfield for most days.
Ty

Coors does have a mild effect on performance, this is undoubtable. How big of a concern are the projections of players like McMahon, Brendan Rodgers, Daza, and Blackmon, especially in terms of stolen bases and other peripherals less Coors-inflated? In particular, McMahon's projection is pretty garbage, despite him putting up plenty of value every year.
Justin Mason
10:53
I think McMahon has been one of my favorite targets this year. He actually improved his zone contact in 2022 in spite of the production being down a little. The power was back in the second half, so I like his depressed cost. I have never been a Rodgers guy and Daza is boring. Blackmon is a bit scary after his second half power outage, but he plays every day so he can accumulate.

what do you expect from james outman? he is on my bubble in a dynasty league
Justin Mason
10:55
There is some pop/speed and a lot of swing and miss, but right now it appears there is a path to playing time. The minor league StatCast numbers are really intriguing though. I would try and hold depending on your other options.
Thomas
10:55
Another Senga question: Where would you rank him in a FYPD? 15 teams dynasty (OBP).
Justin Mason
10:56
He is in the top 5-6 depending on your team. If you are competing for this year, there is a discussion to take him as high as 2. If you are rebuilding, I think I have him around 5.
Galen
10:57
Steamer has a pretty optimistic projection for Paredes. 2nd to only Altuve among AL 2B in wRC+.  Does he find enough at bats with the Rays to be mixed league relevant?
Justin Mason
10:57
I think he will off and on throughout the season depending on your league depth. Probably does in a 15 teamer, but not really in a 12.
Dwilly
10:59
Regarding 5th pick in FYPD: 30 team dynasty, h2h, 40man roster, 25 minors, deep.
Justin Mason
11:00
I think I want a top 50 ish prospect or a pretty good MLB piece. I love this draft.
Guest

keep 8 forever league, with weird hitting stats that basically equate to a points league where K's are a negative. my 8th spot comes down to arozarena, kirk, vinnie p, gunnar, josh jung, george kirby, or emmanuel clase. who ya got?
Justin Mason
11:01
That is tough not knowing the points format, but I think I lean Henderson on upside alone. Vinnie P is really tempting in a point-like format though.
Taximan
11:02
Best landing spot for Segura, and where he actually ends up?
Justin Mason
11:02
Dodgers or White Sox
Guest

What are the chances Baltimore starts the year with both Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall in the rotation?
Justin Mason
11:03
I think it is 50/50 Grayson and Hall. The Orioles lack talent in the rotation, but have a lot of depth if they want to delay their service time.
Guest
11:04
Need a 2B. Which trade would you rather make (and which ones are close enough to be realistic in a dynasty)?: Arenado for Altuve or Schwarber, Buxton, or Gallen for Chisholm? League uses 7 hitting cats, with OBP, XBH, and SLG (and no BA)
Justin Mason
11:05
That is tough, but I think I would look to get Chisholm for Buxton
cool 1
Shifting Thoughts
11:05
With the shifts being outlawed, what does this do to fantasy baseball? GB pitchers era jump a little while pull hitters see a babip increase? Do teams value infield defense more which affects playing time? (Nolan Gorman owner)
Justin Mason
11:06
Remember, they aren't banned completely. You just can't overshift extremely. I think there will be some changes for GB guys and for hitters that pull, but it won't be super extreme as pitchers will react to this as well.
Wiski
11:07
Who ends the year in LF in Texas? Are Justin Foscue or Dustin Harris a possibility?
Justin Mason
11:07
Harris is more likely since he is on the 40-man, but Foscue is more interesting long term. Don't think either has a major role this season TBH.
