Who do you think gets the most at bats in the Reds outfield this season, and am I crazy for thinking TJ Friedl has serious breakout potential for points leagues?
Justin Mason
10:19
That's my dude this year! I feel like he is getting slept on as the leadoff hitter for the Reds. He is on a ton of my teams already.

Miguel Vargas vs Jonathan India.  Who do you prefer at second base?
Justin Mason
10:20
India, but it is closer than it seems.
Definitely not Nick
10:20
What is the SP ranking that you're most different on than anyone else?
Justin Mason
10:21
I am way higher on Brady Singer than the market. Also higher on Jordan Montgomery and Jose Suarez. I am way lower on Dustin May and Tyler Glasnow because of their innings risk.

How do you determine which podcast gets what content?
Justin Mason
10:23
Well, Paul does the rundowns for the Sleeper and the Bust during the week. I do most of the rundowns for FWFB. Sometimes there is some overlap because I know that some people do not listen to both. I am trying to do a little different stuff with FWFB this year to distinguish it from a lot of the other podcasts on the market, but it is hard to make everything super original and different when I am recording upwards of 10 podcasts a week.

Dominguez ends up with more saves than Kimbrel.  Reasonable?
Justin Mason
10:24
Sure
Though I don't think it is by a lot.

Final freezer question: 12 team points 1 catcher league, draft, can freeze players forever no penalty. Sure to keep: Julio Rodriguez, Mike Trout, Kyle Tucker, Bobby Witt Jr., Shane McClanahan, Julio Urías. Possible 7th: Ozzie Albies, Corbin Carroll, Daulton Varsho. Leaning Carroll as it's crucial in our league to get great guys young (have had Trout since he was 19). What do you think?
Justin Mason
10:25
I agree with you.

Turned down a trade for Austin Riley in my dynasty league the other day, plate skills are a bit too unnerving for me to give up Sale, Altuve and a draft pick. Would you have done the same?
Justin Mason
10:26
Think of it like a math equation. Is Riley - Altuve greater of less than Chris Sale and a pick? I don't think he is great than the package.

Who are your top targets for K's/WHIP late in a 5x5 12-team roto re-draft?
Justin Mason
10:28
Garrett Whitlock (if he is in the rotation), Aaron Civale, Edward Cabrera, Jose Suarez, Andrew Heaney, Jack Flaherty, Kyle Bradish

I hold off on the big 1B tickets in an 6x6 league that counts walks and am looking at Andrew Vaughn, Rowdy, J Bell…maybe even N Lowe & Rizzo. Who are you taking?
Justin Mason
10:29
Lowe and Rizzo are my favorites there, but I like both Tellez and Bell at their price as well.
BrandonMcKayDylanWalsh
10:29
I saw your 3B love for Walker & Jung…any love for Matt Chapman?
Justin Mason
10:30
Probably not love by a strong like. I think if you pair him with one of those guys, you can avoid spending up at the position.
Matt

How would you rank these RP’s for holds: Rafael Montero, Robert Suarez, Carlos Estevez, Taylor Rogers, Daniel Hudson?
Justin Mason
10:30
Montero, Suarez, Rogers, Estevez, Hudson
Mike
10:30
Can you rank these 3 3B: Rendon, Donaldson, Turner?
Justin Mason
10:31
Turner, Rendon, Donaldson
Mike
10:31
Can you rank these 3 SP: Heaney, Manaea, Eovaldi?
Justin Mason
10:31
Heaney, Eovaldi, Manaea
BrandonMcKayDylanWalsh
10:32
You like J India…are you passing on Gimenez, B Lowe, and G Torres for him?
Justin Mason
10:33
Not necessarily, but I tend to end up with India more because the field is passing him up for those guys. I like all of those options, but often wait for the last one off the board. My ranks have Gimenez, India, Torres, Lowe in that order
BrandonMcKayDylanWalsh
10:33
Are you in on Hunter Greene this year, with the normal caveat about draft capital of course. Thanks for doing these chats by the way.
Justin Mason
10:34
I am ok with the current price but I think he will skyrocket this spring. I worry that he isn't a good WHIP guy and is on a team where wins will be hard to come by. If the price continues to rise, I will be out.
The upside is unreal though

Wesneski or Waldichuk for keeper league?
Justin Mason
10:34
Wesneski
Cedric Mullins
10:34
I love you, mwah
Justin Mason
10:34
I love you more!

What team offense(s) will be sneaky good this year? Looking for tiebreakers when I draft.
Justin Mason
10:35
Call me crazy, but if they don't trade Reynolds, the Pirates have a really underrated offense. If the White Sox and Angels stay healthy, they could each be top five offenses. Arizona is really sneaky good potentially too.
Dave
10:36
Who would win a laser tag match: Sporer/Pollack vs Mason/Bubba
Justin Mason
10:37
Listen, I think most people would pick against me and bubba because we are heftier guys but, I am a US Army Veteran and have destroyed every laser tag and paint ball game I have ever been a part of. We are also shorter which helps in terms of hiding.
