Need to pick two of Soler, Gallo, and Canha for the week. Who stays on the bench?
Justin Mason
9:38
Bench Gallo
SPNeedy
9:38
Thanks for the chats!  Shallow H2H Points league (w/QS).  Can you rank these guys: E. Rodriguez, Clevinger, Kopech, Syndergaard, Quantrill?
Justin Mason
9:38
Kopech, Eduardo Rodriguez, Quantrill, Clevinger, Syndergaard
Bill
9:39
Do you think Pressly is actually “sick”? Or are they covering up another issue
Justin Mason
9:39
I don't think there is any reason to believe there is a different reason yet, but I am definitely a little worried.
Bill
9:39
First big orioles prospect to debut? Grayson? Westburg? DL hall?
Justin Mason
9:39
Grayson should be back pretty quickly.
Phil
9:40
Throwing out Megill's spring training and based on his 1st start, would you drop Megill for Clevinger or Lugo (Lugo may have Atlanta next)?
Justin Mason
9:40
I would for Clevinger
Forza

Quick two-parter! Do you see Ron Marinaccio as a Jason Adam-type for Yanks?  What is your ceiling for Cal Raleigh this year?
Justin Mason
9:42
I really like Marinccio as a holds guy that could find himself in high leverage if something happens to Holmes. I talked about him with Sami from the Catcher Corner podcast early in draft season and he sold me on him.
Raleigh could be a 30+ homer guy in a great lineup.

Sure seems like the biggest winners of the SB changes are the already-high SB guys
Justin Mason
9:44
So far that definitely looks like the trend, though they are just more overall stolen bases. 70-29 over the first four days versus last season is what Paul Sporer sent me last night.
Doug
9:44
Assume Brito is back once yanks need a 5th starter?  What's his value ROS assuming Severino is toast
Justin Mason
9:45
I think he is back in 10 days, but he was really impressive against my Giants. I think he is a sneaky stash if you have room on your bench.
Phil
9:45
Can Nolan Gorman carve out a full time DH role or is he destined for platooning this year? Trying to assess if he's worth a 12 team spot. Thanks
Justin Mason
9:46
I think he is likely to platoon unless he forces the issue or someone (probably needs to be more than one player) gets hurt. I think there is a lot of risk but a really high upside here.
Matthew
9:47
IL spots already filled with Seiya, Verlander and Glasnow. Too early to drop Bard with how he looked in WBC?
Justin Mason
9:47
I think you can drop him with that roster crunch.
Joe
9:47
12 team obp. Tyler Stephenson (and his soon 1b eligibility) is on the wire. Drop K. Ruiz, or Nootbar. OF depth is currently solid.
Justin Mason
9:47
I don't mind dropping Ruiz
Defense doesn't matter
9:47
Is Hall good enough to hold down 1b in Philly? Are there other options there?
Justin Mason
9:48
I think he gets to hold the job for a little while. Unless they bring someone else in, they just don't have a lot to turn to.
RTJ
9:48
Deep AL-only league, trying to figure out my last OF starter this week: Kiermaier or Pollock?
Justin Mason
9:48
Pollock
Bill
9:48
When do you see the mariners calling up Bryce Miller? Kirby skipped over AAA last year, so I think he might be up if there is an injury to the mariners rotation before ray can make it back?
Justin Mason
9:49
I don't think so, but they don't have a ton of intriguing options that are ready.
yeah
9:49
who is more attractive - mike trout or hunter renfroe
Justin Mason
9:49
That opening day catch from Renfroe made me blush, but it is still Trout lol
Guest
9:49
Is Mike clevinger back. Velocity on the fastball seemed to be in line with few years back
Justin Mason
9:49
I am not ready to say he is back, but he has my attention.
Guest
9:50
Is justin steele the real deal ? Is he 10 team worthy ? Seems like he has great pitch mix and had a great 2nd half last year
Justin Mason
9:50
I am still pretty skeptical on him but this was an amazing first start and I think he should be rostered in pretty much all formats.
RGM
9:50
Drop Jorge Lopez for Scott McGough?
Justin Mason
9:50
Not yet

Drey Jameson as a de facto Follower guy has me interested. Swallow the walks for the Win snipes or just play it straight with a normal RP?
Justin Mason
9:51
I don't mind that play early on as guys in the rotation build up.
Matt W.

Which reliever this week for an NFBC team? Graveman, Chafin or Neris
