Thanks for hosting the chat and all your wonderful articles.  I recently made a trade and would like to know your thoughts.  Points league, 15 keepers (free) about 25 player rosters.  Prospects generally can be had super cheap as long as you grab them 1+ years out.  C, 1b, 2b, SS, 3b, 3 OF, 5 SP, 2 RP.  The trade: I give Gunner Henderson and Vinnie P for Jacob deGrom and Ozzie Albies.  I should mention I have Freddie Freeman, Alex Bregman, currently no 2B (drafting Thursday), starting pitching is really shallow in this format, competitive this year, and do have a decent SP staff already (Nola, Bieber, Woodruff, Joe Ryan).  Thanks in advance!

Favorite late round sleeper pitchers of J. Steele, B. Ober, J.Suarez, K. Bradish, S. Turnbull, B.Bello, R. Contreras, D. Dodd, J. Shuster?
Justin Mason
10:16
Between Suarez and Bradish for me.

5x5 dynasty. Last 1 or 2 keeper spots coming down to Sean Manaea, Kyle Gibson, or Alex Wood. How would you order them?
Justin Mason
10:17
Manaea, Wood, Gibson

I see some yellow flags in Jose Ramirez's profile: Chase rate and weak contact were up last year. He's 30 and his batted ball data has never been great. Feel like as he loses bat speed his power might decline quickly. Why are people drafting him as a top-three pick?
Justin Mason
10:18
I am not worried at all by his profile. He was hurt last season and still put up a monster year. Don't overthink it.

Which SP are rising this spring for you?
Justin Mason
10:19
Kopech has been my biggest riser.
Strider has risen for me too, but he is already been going higher than I would draft him.

Are you buying that Mike Moustakas might have some NL only value this year?
Justin Mason
10:19
Absolutely. The Rockies love old veterans lol

How do you feel about a Jorge Polanco bounce back? His walk & K rates combined jump to 35%, when historically he has been 25%. The walks did alot of that heavy lifting, 8% to 14.5% but did it lead to too much passivity?
Justin Mason
10:20
Polanco needs health which is my main concern. There are also emerging options in Eduord Julien and Austin MArtin. I have stayed away from drafting Polanco.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how much are you buying a Kelenic turnaround?

5x5 dynasty, Pablo Lopez or Tyler Anderson?
Justin Mason
10:21
In dynasty I lean Lopez, but it is really close and I end up drafting Anderson more because of the price difference.

In a league where saves and holds are valued equally, does Brooks Raley see a measurable value jump with Diaz out?  More generally, when depth-altering injuries happen in spring, how do you capitalize on the changed circumstances without overestimating the impact simply because it's a new headline
Justin Mason
10:23
I don't know that he takes a big jump in value, but he does get a small one. I don't over invest in these types of situations unless there is a clear replacement or the guy I think is next man up has big upside.

Choose 2: McNeil, Paredes, Arraez

Paredes and McNeil.

Dart throw reliever - J. Adam, AJ Puuk, A. Alzolay, M. Fulmer, D. Lamet, AJ Minter, D. Hudson?
Justin Mason
10:23
Michael Fulmer. I think he is the guy in Chicago
KevinT

Is Lars Nootbaar a better real life player than fantasy? His fantasy projections seem pretty bland. Not understanding the industry love (I know he walks alot but that doesnt help in most leagues)
Justin Mason
10:24
The projection aren't capturing his upside. I don't think he is a star, but he hasn't actually gone up much in ADP. I am taking the plunge.
Steve
10:24
Who do you expect to have the better year for the White Sox, Lucas Giolito or Michael Kopech?
Justin Mason
10:24
That is really tough because I don't know what to expect from Giolito. I will still go with him though because he should bounceback some.

Does Isbel keep the job when Waters comes back?
Justin Mason

Yes

Sorting through late 3B options: With the Jordan Walker hype train slowing down a bit, who should be coming off the board first, him or Josh Jung?
