I think he could steal 5+ but I worry that the Guardians aren't going to give him enough playing time because they prioritize defense over offense at the catcher position.

Which SP past pick 250ish have the highest upside?
Justin Mason
10:36
Michael Kopech, Hunter Brown, Tyler Anderson, Eduardo Rodriguez, Tylor Megill. Lots of good, interesting pitchers going outside the top 250 right now

Josh Jung still look like a 60-FV guy to you? The strikeouts were kinda scary after he got promoted. Think he's startable in a 12-teamer (points, no penalty for k's)? What's a realistic expectation for him this year?
Justin Mason
10:38
I absolutely do. Throw out the 2022 numbers because he was coming off of Major surgery. The fact he even played was impressive. I am drafting him in a lot of spots this year.

What are your thoughts on Cal Raleigh for 2023? He hit the ball hard and put up pretty solid numbers in his first full season. Any reason to think there might be more in the tank?
Justin Mason
10:40
I don't think there is a ton more in the tank, but he is what we saw last season, a catcher that can hit 25-30 bombs, but the average is going to suck.

Under the radar holds candidates?
Justin Mason
10:42
I dont play in a ton of holds leagues, but Alex Vesia, Anthony Bass, John Schreiber, David Robertson, Trevor Stephan are all names I am targeting.

Twice had Covid, and it was easier the second time around (after I was vaccinated).  I used two different strategies the last couple of years in my 11 team NL only 5X5 roto (23 man roster, super utility with 4of, sv+1/2hold ) auction league (entering our 33rd year!).  Balanced team with no superstars (over $25) in 2021, and after winning that year I came in last year with house money and spent big on two of the superstars available (Betts and Acuna), so more of a stars and scrubs resulted in 2nd (in first until passed on the last day).  Do you have more success by changing things up for draft strategies in established leagues?
Justin Mason
10:44
Absolutely! I try and do what I think other people won't expect. In my original home league, I would always come in with a different strategy to throw off the league and I won three of my last four years before I was asked not to return lol. I think having a strategy that is different can definitely set you apart.
10:45
I had a set strategy coming into 2022 in a lot of leagues, but my strategies will be completely different for those leagues in 2023.

Also Tellez at 14?
Justin Mason
10:46
Ummm... I have Tellez at 15 at first base if that is the question.

How do we feel about Chris Taylor this Year? 2B & OF is still nice but was so disappointing last season
Justin Mason
10:47
I think he bounces back after a rough 2022, but not to 2021 levels. Like a 15/10 guy with a .240ish average

Logan Gilbert or Alek Thomas and Brayan Rocchio in a standard 12 team keep forever league
Justin Mason

Gilbert
Walton Dilcox

Taillon, Bassit, or Walker?
Justin Mason

Bassitt

Unfortunately, I have to wrap things up a little early.
