Still nervous but it is still early.

3B - Moncada or Jung ROS?  Any WW guys worth picking up? (J McCarthy, J Profar, H Bader, W Myers, E Ruiz, T Grisham) to replace Blackmon
Thank you
Justin Mason
10:23
Jung. I would pick up McCarthy for Blackmon.

Do you expect Muller to stay in Oakland's rotation given how bad the "top" of the rotation has been? Thoughts on his best-case-scenario upside? Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:24
I do expect him to. 150 innings of a low 4 ERA with like 130-140 Ks?

It hit me the other day that the visiting team has a better chance of registering a save than the home team. If a visitor takes the lead in its last ABs in the top of the ninth, a save opportunity arises. If the home team takes the lead in the bottom of the 9th, game over and there is no save opportunity. Has anyone ever documented how much that matters in daily betting, etc.?
Justin Mason
10:25
I have not thought about that, but would be interesting to look at.

Pitching in deep trouble early. Drop Detmers or Heaney for Jameson or DL McKenzie or both?
Justin Mason
10:25
Not doing that yet.
Matt

Re Bell: Do you think you'd trade him for Eduard Julien? I don't have anywhere to start him, and wouldn't mind freeing up some salary
Justin Mason
10:25
Probably not but I could understand if you did.
Moby

Tell me why I should pick up David Villar.
Justin Mason
10:25
He has power and should play a lot?

Would you drop Joey Meneses for Patrick Wisdom?
Justin Mason
10:25
No

Myles Straw of the career 1.1% barrel rate...

Will the Red Sox announce a roster move re: Duvall before the start of today's first game so we can reserve him for the week if needed?  If not, reserve him proactively given the injury history? Inquiring owners want to know...
Justin Mason
10:27
I would definitely reserve him. I don't think he plays much if at all this week

Hi Justin, think W Smith is worth rostering in saves only or does LeClerc take over ROS? Also, Fujinami’s stuff is interesting. Think he can get his control down or is he destined to be wild? Thanks again.
Justin Mason
10:28
I am rostering Will Smith in my Main Event. I think he is the next man up if/when LeClerc struggles with his control. I don't think Fujinami is that interesting because of the limited upside in Oakland and the downside with his command and control.

Have yet to start E-Rod. With Jays on tap, he’s firmly stapled to the pine. Bubic is available. Make the swap?
Justin Mason
10:29
I don't mind that but I do believe E-Rod will be good this season.

Justin, would you bench B. Snell (@NYM) to start R. Nelson (@MIA) this week?
Justin Mason
10:29
That is tough. I think I might, but there is risk for both.

Better fantasy prospect - Bobby Miller or Gavin Stone?
Justin Mason
10:29
Stone but it is close

Hold onto Torkelson in a points league or drop for one of the top waiver options like A. Frazier, G. Cooper, or G. Mitchell?
Justin Mason
10:30
I would drop for Mitchell
Micah
10:30
Margot or Baddoo for an upside bench bat? (OBP roto)
Justin Mason
10:30
Margot

Super early offseason drafting regret?
Justin Mason
10:30
One of my best teams is a December draft, so no. There are pluses and minuses in drafting early.
Boob Itch

Is Bubic for real now, or just a flukey good start?
Justin Mason
10:31
I think it is mostly a fluky start, but I am ok with rolling with it for now.
Nick

In a 12 team points league Sale or Nelson vs Miami?
Justin Mason
10:31
Sale
Matt
10:31
Any updated thoughts on Mackenzie Gore?
Justin Mason
10:32
I think he is a really talented pitcher on a bad team and health concerns. I am rolling with him until the health becomes an issue.
James
10:32
When is Gavin stone getting the call?
