Who broke Juan Soto? And are you high on O-Hoppe?
Justin Mason
9:01
Soto will be fine. O'Hoppe is really interesting. I definitely want to see him hit against a team that isn't full of minor leaguers, but he should be rostered in all 2-catcher formats and probably in most12-team one catcher formats.

Shuster gets the Padres next, probably a Sit. Would you actually drop for Megill ? 12T Mix Roto
Justin Mason
9:02
I am pretty skeptical of Megill because he just didn't look right in spring training, but I can understand making that move.

Best fantasy dynasty catchers ranked in H2H Cat league for 2023 and beyond: G. Moreno, O’Hoppe, K. Ruiz
Justin Mason
9:02
I think that is the right order.

Is Baty a pickup if the cost is zero? 5 bench spots in my league
Justin Mason
9:03
I think I would because he should be up pretty quickly. It is hard to hold onto a stash with that short of a bench though
Matt
9:03
Personal moral judgements aside, could you foresee a team-in-need offering Bauer a contract mid season? Seems like teams wouldn't want to deal with the headache, but the talent is so great, makes you wonder when a team might change their tune.
Justin Mason
9:03
I don't think he comes back this season.

10 team h2h league - outman or friedl
Justin Mason
9:03
Friedl for me, but I really like Outman
Kevin

I bid a fair amount on Puk last night.  Do you think he runs away with the job? Sounds like the team wants to give him the opportunity and he has the talent.
Justin Mason
9:04
I do think the job is his moving forward. He is clearly the best arm in that bullpen.

Likelihood of a Curtis Mead early call-up?
Justin Mason
9:05
I think he is up sometime before memorial day, but it is so hard to read the Rays. The fact they were negotiating a long term deal with him prior to the start of the season is a good sign to me.

What is your read on Arizona's closer situation? How do you feel about McGough?
Justin Mason
9:06
This seems like a committee. It probably should be McGough, but I think it gets split among 3-4 guys at least early on.
Kyle
9:06
Can B. Donovan sustain his power?
Justin Mason
9:07
I absolutely do. This power surge is based on work he did in the offseason and isn't out of no where.

Should I drop Bichette in my AL only? No homers so far?!?!?!!?
Justin Mason

Please stop

This early in the season how much do you ride a hot (or mediocre) bat versus wait for your regulars to heat up. I need to pick 2 of Vinnie P., Tellez, Vargas, and Garver for my line-up this week. Leaning Vinnie P. and Vargas. Hopefully by next week it won't matter since Vargas will get MI eligibility and Garver will one-day get C eligibility.
Justin Mason
9:11
I kind of pick and choose based on matchups. I think I am rolling with Garver over Tellez this week.

What in the actual F are the Twins doing with Nick Gordon pulling him early? Think the ankle still needs nursing?
Justin Mason
9:11
Yeah, have to wonder if he is still ailing a little. He is on the field which is a good sign but something to monitor.
JP

Meg assigns you to give the scouting report and description on Paul Sporer, how does he rate as an up and coming writer and fantasy baseball performer?
Justin Mason
9:14
80 grade analyst. Has great feel for articles. Good potential in podcasts but is sometimes carried by his co-host. Poor mechanics in drafts that need to be cleaned up to be a polished player. High upside, but still needs development.

Thoughts on Seth Lugo after his surprisingly solid first start with the Padres?
Justin Mason
9:15
I haven't sat down to watch the start yet, but I am very intrigued. Dude went seven innings which was my biggest fear that moving from a reliever to a starter meant he wouldn't go deep especially early on. I would grab him where available because the stuff has never really been in question.
Rich
9:16
Is it just me or does Jazz Chisolm look like he has no idea how to play CF. Any chance he moves to a corner of and Bryan De LA Cruz moves to CF, or back to 2nd and Arrez to DH?
Justin Mason
9:16
I have no idea what the Marlins are doing with this one. They never should have moved him out there in my opinion. They probably stick with it for now, but I would move him back to 2B

Kopech
9:17
You’re a kopech guy, and a giants guy. What the heck is going to happen today. Can’t help but feel he will go 6 innings 0 earned runs, or 1.2 innings with 6 earned lol. Nothing in between.
Justin Mason
9:17
The Giants are really struggling offensively and I think Kopech mows them down.

Thinking about breaking down and buying MLB TV looking at Detmers vs Kirby tonight 👀
Justin Mason
9:17
This is going to be must watch TV!
Zach

What, if anything, can we expect from Soroka this year?
Justin Mason
9:18
I am not expecting anything. They have shown they are going to be extremely careful with him. He also needs volume in order to be fantasy relevant and I just don't see him getting volume.
Jason

Thanks for chatting, Justin! In a 14tm standard H2H league, ceiling-hunting SPs with my last bench spot. Do you like M.Perez, Bradish, Pfaadt, Eflin, T. Walker, Shuster, or M. Keller best?
