Chip

Is Steven Kwan experiencing a sophomore slump, or is he not the guy we thought he was last year?

Justin Mason

10:42

He will be fine. Dude has a 97% z-contact and is just running a low BABIP right now.

Farhandrew Zaidman

10:42

Do you think the Dodgers keep splitting ABs between Peralta and Heyward, or is there too much overlap there any one will eventually be favored over the other?

Justin Mason

10:43

I think they need to bring someone else in and will at some point. Until then it is a shared job.

Gallegos

10:43

What are the chances he ends up getting around the same saves as Helsley this year? His slider has been electric and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to who will play the fireman role (Helsley was called upon in the 7th yesterday).

Justin Mason

10:43

I think he could definitely get some sneaky saves. I had him on some faab lists yesterday in deeper formats.

Guest

Is Dansby just an average/runs guy now? Do you think he rebounds some power/is he worth trying to move for draft-level value?

Justin Mason

10:45

I think he rebounds. He is just weirdly hitting everything on the ground right now.

Spach

10:45

Jose Abreu or Ke'Bryan Hayes rest of season in a standard 12-team league?

Justin Mason

10:45

Hayes

Yuni B

10:45

Are we hanging on to Michael Fulmer or dropping for Ottavino in a H2H 5x5?

Justin Mason

10:45

I would hold for now

B'ryce Szymbobski

10:45

Late to the chat, sorry if someone already asked, but would you drop E Rodriguez or Strahm for Kellenic or Nootbarr? Shallow points league, Whoever I add is an upside play and bench depth/team streamer for my Util Slot till Harper is back

Justin Mason

10:45

Strahm for Kelenic in a heartbeat

DapScout

10:46

What is the best way to convince people to take my one sided trade offers? Cookies? Pictures of puppies?

Justin Mason

10:46

Got to go a bit darker. Maybe veiled threats?

Spach

10:46

Do we think Nico Hoerner is for real?

Justin Mason

10:46

Yes. I was talking about him all offseason.

Toph

10:47

Is Bryan Abreu worth adding yet? Dynasty league, we count saves (but not holds) and to make the add, it cost $3 real dollars (it's a fun way we run our league so you don't run out and add every hot got off the FA pile?) Would likely be cutting Mike Clev.

Justin Mason

10:47

I think he is worth it.

Richie Sexyson

10:47

Which Tiger has the brighter outlook ROS in 5x5 draft and hold, Lorenzen or Turnbull?

Justin Mason

10:47

Turnbull

Keith

10:47

who would you target in trades at LF with Brandon Marsh and Steven Kwan in a 12 team H2H points league? I’m 2-1 with 6th most points scored

Justin Mason

10:47

Kwan

Check Mate

10:47

Regardless of position, in a keep three league where neither is likely to be kept, would you rather have Jung or Soler ROS?

Justin Mason

10:47

Jung

Broken Bat

10:47

CWS… roster construction. While I tended to give GM Hahn a pass because if the forced LaRussa thing and Kenny Williams perhaps a voice not needed anymore, it’s becoming apparent to me that Hahn just may be bad. The. Levi her and Benenteddi signings.Garcia a year ago and still being paid, Pollack taking less money to ply just to get away from south side. What do you think root problem is on south side Chicago?

Justin Mason

10:48

Man, I have no idea. This team should be much better than it has looked.

Rickey

10:48

would you drop Drury or Steer when Moncada comes back? (H2H OPS league)

Justin Mason

10:48

Drury

Braves Catcher Situation

10:48

Good news that d’Arnaud has started baseball activities. How do you see the workload being balanced once he returns? Murphy seems to feed off playing consistently. Will that finally signal the end of the Ozuna experience?

Justin Mason

10:48

I hope they just get rid of Ozuna, but I was not a fan of the early usage.

BarryBaker

10:49

with Mason Miller sticking in the rotation - is 100 IP with 120 K’s, a 3.45 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP not out of question? What’s a realistic expectation going forward for him

Justin Mason

10:50

I think that is an ok projection. Might be a little low on the ERA, but I think the biggest issue is health and the fact he won't get wins. For that reason, he is hard to roster because he is almost like a really good middle reliever.

Darin Ruf House

10:50

Matt Boyd or Clarke Schmidt?

Justin Mason

10:50

Boyd

Pat

10:50

When do you think we see Liberatore? Are you in based on promising AAA results? Him as a stash or Silseth?

Justin Mason

10:50

Rather stash Liberatore
