Depends a lot on who is available.
Kenny Pittsburgh

NL only.  Who are your leading candidates to eventually close, but not be in the closer role on opening day?
Justin Mason
10:40
Tanner Scott in Miami, Joe Mantiply in Arizona,  Taylor Rogers in SF

Obviously the Cardinals have endless folks for their OF and DH slots and 1B is blocked, but doesn't Juan Yepez still have breakout potential? I think I'm going to have to let him go to keep Tanner Houck at the back of my dynasty list but I'm worried that with both of them PT challenged I should be keeping the bat
Justin Mason
10:41
I think I would keep Yepez here. I know there is a lot of bodies in St. Louis but that will work itself out. Houck hasn't been healthy and that weighs a lot on me in dynasty.

You a believer in Nestor Cortes this year? Is he a keeper on a 12 team roto5x5 dynasty league over Jesus Luzardo?
Justin Mason
10:42
Yes and yes. Love the skills on Luzardo but I just don't know how many innings we can expect given his track record.

Hi! In 10-tm, H2H Category redraft considering trading my $12.50 Marcus Semien for $19.50 Bregman or $16 Arenado.  Gunnar Henderson likely only potential hi-end 3B who will be available in upcoming auction, while likes of A Gimenez, Grissom, McNeil will be availble at 2B. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
10:44
Semien is better and cheaper than both Nolan Arenado and Alex Bregman. Why would you give that value up to your competitors?
Kenny Pittsburgh
10:44
Will pitch-to-contact guys like Miles Mikolas take a step back with no shifting?
Justin Mason
10:45
I think they definitely could, but remember teams can still shift just not as drastically and pitchers will adjust as well. Im less worried about guys like Mikolas because of the defense behind him and more worried about guys like Logan Webb that have bad defenses behind him.

Better deep dynasty league pickup: Colas or Friedl?
Justin Mason
10:45
Friedl!!!!

Name a player for next season for whom you have a totally gut-driven, not evidence-based at all, feeling that they’re going to have a breakout. This is not for actionable fantasy advice, just fun curiosity.
Justin Mason
10:46
Jarred Kelenic! I know that he has been awful in the Majors, but I still believe in the profile we have seen in the minors.

10:46
Which of De La Cruz, Bae or G Mitchell will produce more value this season?
Justin Mason
10:46
Garrett Mitchell, but I like all three
Mickey Rivers Cuomo
10:48
This year, who is the guy you find yourself in the heat of the moment going the extra dollar or earlier round?
Justin Mason
10:48
Randy Arozarena, JT Realmuto, Zac Gallen, and Seiya Suzuki

Thanks for hosting the chat.  What are your thoughts on Cronenworth (for a points league), is he a top 10 2b, top 5, is he more valuable than Kris Bryant?
Justin Mason
10:49
He is not and I would rather have Bryant
Mickey Rivers Cuomo
10:49
In a deep only OBP league, Kepler or Gallo?
Justin Mason
10:49
Kepler
1B
10:49
Standard 5x5 league, rank Casas, M.Vargas and Torkelson.
Justin Mason
10:49
Miguel Vargas, Triston Casas, Spencer Torkelson, but I like all three at cost.
James
10:49
If Jazz stays healthy is he a first round pick in 2024?
Justin Mason
10:49
Yes, but that is a big if
KingKwan
10:49
I have read some stories out of Cleveland that Steven Kwan is working out and specifically trying to hit the ball with more authority. Any deets that you have heard? Imagine SK with 20/20 and .300 atop the Guardians lineup. #dranktheKwan-aid
Justin Mason
10:50
As long as it doesn't hurt the average. I want him to get a ton of plate appearances and hit for average. That is where a ton of his value comes from.
Peter

Your thoughts on Eloy or Robert staying healthy and truly breaking out?
Justin Mason
10:51
I am lower on Luis Robert than the market because of the health, but he is still primed to buy if you believe he can stay on the field. If Eloy Jimenez is playing the field, I won't be drafting him, If he is the DH, then I am all in.

was the "oswaldo peraza gets 400 PAs" in the previous yankee question meant to be "oswaldo cabrera gets 400 PAs" ?
Justin Mason
10:52
Yes. My bad. I keep doing that.

5x5 ottoneu - i have Alejandro Kirk ($10) and MJ Melendez ($3). Am I crazy to keep both and use Melendez as a regular OF, filling it with Kirk to get to 162 games?

Should i shop Kirk around and use Melendez as my starting C and find a replacement-level guy in the auction to fill out the position?
Justin Mason
10:52
Definitely shop them around and try and move one.
The Notorious D.A.N. Mcgrew

What rookie do you think will break out in a big way this year?
Justin Mason
10:52
Jordan Walker and Josh Jung
Walker could be this year's J-Rod or Bobby Witt

Rowdy Tellez has a career wRC+ of 104 and last year was 110.  All the projections have a 120-123.  What is leading the projections to be so much higher on him this year?
Justin Mason
10:53
No idea. I think he is similar to last year or even regresses back a little bit.
