Walker, but I still love Jung

This almost happened to me this week in a 12tm NFBC and I want your opinion. Drafted 12 (took bichette), got Lindor at 37 (I have him as a 2nd rounder), and then at 60/61 Corey Seager was sitting there. I have him at 4/5 value. Passed on Seager because he would have been locked at my UTL, but still wondering if i made the right decision to pass on the talent there
Justin Mason
10:26
Yeah, you can't draft three that early in a league where you can't trade.
10:27
Probably should have passed on Lindor at 37. So early to get two SS

dylan dodd or jared shuster for the #5 spot in the braves rotation?

Shuster

De La Cruz looks destined to go to AAA, but Sanchez doesn't look that much better yet. Chance he takes the job?
Justin Mason
10:28
I think Sanchez starts with the strong side of the job.

Justin, do you have any good cheap targets for batting average (with decent runs/rbi) at OF or CI?  I have a weird keeper list that is good on power and speed (Acuna, ONeil Cruz, Harris, Santander, Bregman, Albies, J. Polanco) but with no pitching, so I need to spend my auction cash on pitching and find some cheaper batting average guys (to help offset Cruz).  I was planning on targeting Ty France, but someone kept him at $22 (high inflation in the league and $300 budget), so I am thinking of going even cheaper looking for average.  Thanks!

Brendan Donovan, Lane Thomas, Michael Brantley

Who makes a bigger impact this year- Raley in TB or Outman in LA?

Outman

Hey Justin in a weekly H2H pts keeper league what scenario would you prefer - $17 Gunner for next 5 years or $16 Sandy A for next 2 years?
Justin Mason
10:30
Gunnar
Mike M
10:30
Who do you like better for this year and also dynasty:  Carrol or Chisholm?
Justin Mason
10:30
Carroll for both

If you HAD to get a category off the waiver wire this year, rank your confidence in finding this stat with FAAB: Ks, Saves, Steals, Homers. To me, I feel steals are going to be most prevalent this season to grab off the wire. Easiest part
Justin Mason
10:30
Probably saves

Hi Justin.  Just signed up for an AL only auction league with just 11 hitters and 8 pitchers.  I have always done the standard 23.  Would this affect player values?  Also, would it affect the standard hitting/pitching split (I usually spend 65/70% on hitting.  Thanks in advance.
Justin Mason
10:31
It should make pitchers much more valuable. I would probably do a 60/40 or a 50/50 split. Run it through the FG auction calculator and see what it spits out.

any surprises for you from tout wars nl-only yesterday? trea turner at $37 seems cheap. hunter greene $18 seems pricey.
Justin Mason
10:31
I haven't seen the prices yet, but 37 seems like a steal for Turner.
Donny

I took Soto at 3 in my OBP league.  How worried are you about his oblique?
Justin Mason
10:32
Not super worried. I would probably take him at three in an OBP still.

Super deep league question... do you think Clint Frazier makes the ranger's opening day team? Roster resource has him making it as a bench player. He's been kinda meh in terms of spring training stats, but I haven't seen any news updates.
Justin Mason
10:32
I don't think so.

In a deep nl only dynasty league, $270 cap, 24 man roster roto. The best pitcher available is woodruff (next best Kershaw, then we are Senga and Montgomery). Most calculators put him between $25-30. In this situation, do you just ignore the calculators? I imagine he could go for $40 or more. But you need an ace. What do you do?
Justin Mason
10:33
I think in a keeper format, you have to account for inflation which should push him into that $40 range, so I have no problem with you spending that.

11 team AL only 5x5, $260 budget, 20% inflation. Please rank the following as keepers: Casas $8, Severino $11, Fairbanks $5, Jung $6, Garcia (Hou) $2, Gonzalez $6.  Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:34
Garcia, Jung, Casas, Fairbanks, Severino, Gonzalez

Has Detmers moved at all for you since his reported velocity increase? It's very enticing if that holds true through the season
Justin Mason
10:34
He has moved up a little for me this spring, but I am still lower than most on him in the industry.

thoughts on a breakout for the following SPs:  May, Greene or  Ryan… and why?….
Justin Mason
10:36
I am not touching May. I just don't know what the innings will look like for him. I like Greene a lot, but not quite as much as the market does. Huge upside, but bad whip in a bad park on a team that doesn't win games is a lot of red flags. I like Joe Ryan a ton this season. New pitch is a nice addition and it is a great park with a fantastic defense in the outfield.

Do you have any favorite under-the-radar guys for points leagues that count holds in addition to saves? Lost Diaz in a league full of save vultures and feeling adrift :(
Justin Mason
10:36
Michael Fulmer has been a late target for me. Taylor Rogers as well.
LFGM
10:37
pick one of the following OF3 that will finish highest on player rater at end of April!      Renfroe, wil Myers, winker, ward or r. Greene?
Justin Mason
10:37
Ward
Trey

Is Brandon Lowe super underrated this year? Seems like he's one year removed from being the best power option at 2B, likely going to have a great line up spot, and he should also benefit from the shift ban. It's not clear to me at all why his ADP is so low, wondering if I'm missing something...
Justin Mason
10:37
The back issue is my only real concern with him. If he is healthy he is a huge bargain.
