Any concern about Morton’s strikeout rate? Seems like he’s becoming more and more of a slow starter. Any worry he’s no longer a strikeout per inning pitcher?
Justin Mason
10:27
A bit. The swinging strike rate is down and zone contact is way up. This might be by design to get out of innings quickly, but it is not like he has elite defense behind him.

Are you in for an Oviedo two start week vs. LAD and @WAS? If not, would you go Ryne Nelson vs. KC or go for a generic non-closing RP?
Justin Mason
10:27
I am in for Oviedo. The Dodger one is scary, but the Washington one is juicy.
Da Family
10:28
Someone dropped Scott Barlow. Dare I pick him up?
Justin Mason
10:28
I might just on spec
Not Brett Wisely
10:28
Looking for steals in a 13 team NL keeper league, and I picked  up Brett Wisely. Think he keeps getting ABs/ends up doing  anything with the ones he gets?
Justin Mason
10:28
Probably not
M.F. Luder

The Angels whole seems consistently less than the sum of its parts. Do you think there is a chance this will start to turn around?
Justin Mason
10:29
If their history is any indication, it wont. I am hoping it does because I think he deserve to see Trout and Ohtani in the playoffs together, but I don't know if I believe it will happen.
Tyrone Taylor
10:29
Do you Tyrone Taylor will get decent playing time when healthy?
Justin Mason
10:30
I think he gets some but it depends on if their other options are healthy or not.
Fleur de (Ado)Lis
10:30
Help me keep the faith that Riley Greene, Ke'bryan, Gimenez, and Kirk are gonna snap out of their luke-warm starts to the season and start producing?
Justin Mason
10:30
I am not super worried about anyone I had faith in before the season unless there is a real mechanical or health issue. It has been three weeks.
Ted
10:30
What's your trust level with Brito? Or, more specifically, what do you need to see him do to start using him with any sort of regularity in 12-teamers?
Justin Mason
10:31
He is probably a streamer

Would you start Edward Cabrera tonight against ATL? Otto FG points league...
Justin Mason
10:31
Nope
I Used to be Mel Clark
10:31
Which 2B has the best RoS in an OBP league -- Brice Turang, Rodolfo Castro, or Christopher Morel?
Justin Mason
10:31
Turang
Rick
10:31
what sort of return would you be looking for outman? top 100? are you still moving him if you can get a great return or has he done anything to warrant worth keeping ros in redraft leagues?
Justin Mason
10:31
I think if I got an offer for a top 50-75 player, I would move him but if not I would just ride with him.
Guest

ros rank obp: J.Suwinski J.Meneses R.Greene
Justin Mason
10:32
Meneses, Greene, Suwinski.
M Strahm
10:32
Will I remain in the rotation for the next couple of months and get stretched out, or will I move to the pen soon when Suarez might return or I reach an IP limit?  Thanks
Justin Mason
10:34
I think he moves to the pen once Suarez returns unless someone else gets hurt. His stuff plays better than Falters in the pen, but I could also see the Phillies move Falter to the pen or AAA.
Jj
10:35
Any thoughts on Machado? Has he shown anything that makes you think he turns it around soon?
Justin Mason
10:35
I think he will because he is just always good. Being a bit too passive in the zone. I am not super worried yet
AJ
10:36
who are your biggest Low Buy candidates - AL & NL?
Justin Mason
10:36
I'll be writing that article today. Should be out on Fantasy Pros tomorrow or wednesday.
party 1
Tim
10:36
Please rank for saves ROS: R. Lopez, Quijada, Ottavino, Fulmer, Lange, Chafin, P. Johnson
Justin Mason
10:37
Lange, Fulmer, Quijada, Chafin, Johnson, Ottavino
Catch These Hands
10:37
Hey! Thanks for doing these. I’m in a bad spot at catcher. Got in on O’Hoppe after my draft (18 team, 6x6 OBP, SLG) and now that he’s down I am desperate for any warm body. Any advice on low ownership cubic zirconias in the rough?
Justin Mason
10:39
Man, that is tough in a league that deep. Matt Thaiss is taking his spot and has a decent bat. Joey Bart has played well since returning. Jason Delay is playing well for the Pirates as well.
LGM
10:39
You think Estrada gets a shot to close for Cubs
Justin Mason
10:39
If the other guys keep struggling, he could.
Rick
10:39
all things equal, are you holding grayson rodriguez in shallow redrafts? or do you view him more of a team streamer? Ks are there. but so is the shaky control. and no wins :(
Justin Mason
10:40
Probably a team streamer in shallow leagues.
Guesty
10:40
Hi Justin, are you holding onto guys like Elder, Cabrera, and Mason Miller over guys like Pfaadt, Liberatore, LTAllen, and other pitching prospects or even MLB pitchers like ERod, Strahm, and Gore.
Justin Mason
10:40
I would probably not. I prefer E-Rod, Pfaadt, and Allen to all three.
