Any word on the Tout Wars 2023 schedule, specifically NL Only? Touts is a really cool resource, and I feel bad saying it, but their website makes it impossible to find anything. Thx
Justin Mason
10:18
NL Tout is Sunday March 19th at 9am EST, I believe. I am in Tout Mixed Auction which is March 18th at 2:30pm

Justin, please talk me out of being in on Kikuchi again. I can't quit him on my own unfortunately
Justin Mason
10:18
Please let me know your address so I can send the authorities there for your own safety.

Springtime
10:19
I'm always looking at spring at bats but worried about how the WBC will boost a few names. How are you accounting for WBC stuff?
Justin Mason
10:20
I look at the WBC very similarly to spring training. I mostly don't care. Unless I see an actionable change (mechanics, big change in K-BB%, Velocity/New Pitches for pitchers) I am mostly just making sure everyone makes it out healthy.

What is your prediction for Joey Meneses?  Over/under 25 homeruns..
Justin Mason
10:20
Just under.

Have you taken a victory lap on Sporer yet over your dueling Glasnow takes from sleeper/bust in February???
Justin Mason
10:21
I am still running...

Better 3-year fantasy outlook: Ha-Seong Kim or Ke'Bryan Hayes? Pondering a keeper trade
Justin Mason
10:21
I think it is Hayes, but it is closer than it should be.

AL only league. Put these 2B in order of preference: Polanco, LeMahieu, Wong, Brandon Lowe, Merrifield. Thank you Justin.
Justin Mason
10:22
Lowe, LeMahieu, Polanco, Wong, Merrifield
Getting Lowe
10:22
Josh Lowe playing a decent amount in spring, leading off when he does. They gave him a run last year. Am I talking myself into the same mistake I made last season?
Justin Mason
10:23
Probably, but if he can strikeout less that would be intriguing
Bunt Single
10:23
Alek Thomas looking real good so far this Spring while Kyle Nelson is MiA. Upgrade Thomas? Or not yet?
Justin Mason
10:23
Not yet, but I really am hoping they trade him somewhere.

If you had to choose between German and Schmidt to fill the starter role for the Yankees, why would you choose Clarke Schmidt?
Justin Mason
10:24
Because German is boring and an awful person. Schmidt has really interesting upside.
Walter

Thanks for the chat. In a 12tm 8x8 keep forever league where I get to keep 6,  I have a decision to make between Scherzer, Verlander and Wander Franco...which 2 would you keep?
Justin Mason
10:24
Definitely Franco in a keep forever. I lean Scherzer over Verlander, but i could go either way.
Oh Kerry
10:25
Does Kerry Carpenter get enough playing time to be relevant?
Justin Mason
10:25
In deeper leagues I think he does.
Chucky
10:25
What's Joey Votto's path to relevancy? Does CE-S have any chance at pt with Myers in the 1B mix and Steer at 3b?
Justin Mason
10:25
Health. He plays every day if he is healthy.
Maris9
10:26
Dynasty question. Which young SS you like best: Abrams, Tovar, Elly DeLa Cruz.
Justin Mason
10:26
Abrams, De La Cruz, Tovar
Kut it out
10:26
You said Whitlock was the guy you wanted of the Boston young arm morass. Did Laghezza's love of Kutter Crawford boost him into that conversation?
Justin Mason
10:27
Not over Whitlock. Crawford is likely a place holder until other guys like Paxton are healthy.
Mr Hooper
10:28
In a 12tm 6x6 OBP $260 budget league, would you keep either Betts ($46) or JoeRam ($58) at their costs? Both feel a bit inflated based on expected cost. Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:28
Both are definitely inflated probably due to inflation. I lean the cheaper Betts here
Slick Rick
10:28
When would you expect the Jays to call up Ricky Tiedemann?
Justin Mason

Midseason
How many MI is too many MI?
10:29
Hi Jason in a dynasty roto 5x5 with daily lineups, I kept Jazz, Abrams, Stott, and Rengifo (because I liked a combo of their price and potential). Need to fill 2B, SS, and MI daily: would you look to take 1 or 2 of this group: Bogaerts, Correa, Polanco, Lux, LeMahieu, Drury. Also, anybody here you expect to significantly outperform their price?
Justin Mason
10:30
None are really guys I think will outperform their price too much. Bogaerts is the best of the bunch though
Kate

I'm reading a lot of concerns about Scherzer's durability this offseason.  A lot of folks seem to be now slotting him into the Kershaw bucket where they just expect he'll miss a bunch of starts every year going forward.  This seems premature?  Other than last year (when he still threw 145 innings), he's been 170+ innings each year.  Would you agree that the innings concerns are a bit overblown?
Justin Mason
10:30
Absolutely. He is a horse. I am not really worried unless we hear something to make us worried. Dude is a unicorn
Bunt Single

In the NL, who are some of the value OFers you are targeting in the back of the draft that you think the market is sleeping on? Thanks!
