Cubdom

10:51

Not only for the sake of my real Cubs, but when does the change to say Adbert Alzolay happen in closing games as it relates to fantasy? Fulmer is not getting it done, nor is Boxberger

Justin Mason

10:51

I would love them to give him a shot, but I worry this turns into a committee if Fulmer or Boxberger don't grab the reigns.

10:53

Ok, got to wrap up soon, so let's do a speed round to answer as many questions as possible

10:53

H2H Points keep forever dynasty: Can you give me an approx value of SP you would give up to get Kelenic? Still unsure if this start of season is a mirage. Detmers too much? Too little?

Justin Mason

10:53

Too little. I want the moon right now

Darin Ruf House

10:53

Boyd or Singer ROS in only roto league

Justin Mason

10:53

Singer

Jay

10:53

Baltimore is a tough match-up for Sale, even with the improvements last time out. Starting him in most formats?

Justin Mason

10:53

Yes

RAGBRAI

10:54

Will either Grichuk or Suwinski much value rest of the season?

Justin Mason

10:54

Grichuk could. Suwinski is what he is

LGM

10:54

Would you roll w Cabrera vs Braves tomorrow

Justin Mason

Jeimer Candelario

10:54

Coming from someone in an NL Only league, should I be worried that he’s playing himself into being a decent trade piece for the Nats and could move to the AL? Would the Phils make sense as a trade partner or is it remotely possible the Nats hold onto him since Kieboom seems to have a setback every other month?

Justin Mason

10:54

I would be shocked if they don't move him at the deadline

Fulmer

10:54

What to do with him in an NL Only league? Cut bait or hold and stash Boxberger until the next save chance comes up? Any love for Brandon Hughes?

Justin Mason

10:54

Hold

McCutchen

10:55

Why isnt there more love for my teammate Suwinski? His Statcast #s look great…

Justin Mason

10:55

Because he strikes out a ton and will be platooned

Rick

10:55

are we past the time when K rates stabilize? if so, is it time to start buying in on at least a partial return to form for cody bellinger?

Justin Mason

10:55

I think we are getting close. I was a buyer of Bellinger in draft season and still am

James "Can't Get Him" Outman

10:55

Am I the real deal (e.g. a top-25 OF all season)? Or should my owners get out while the wave is cresting?

Justin Mason

10:55

Top 25 is a bit high but I am a beliver he is top 35-40

RAGBRAI

10:56

Snell turned it around in the second half putting up outstanding numbers. Will we have to wait again until July for him to get going?

Justin Mason

10:56

Probably

ItsAmarathon

10:56

Drop P Schmidt and Jameson?

Justin Mason

10:56

Depends on for who

BSun

10:56

Suwinski or Outman rest of season?

Justin Mason

10:56

Outman

Dr. Funk

10:56

14 team dynasty league with 23 man rosters what should with abrams? I'm not getting a lot of bites on the trade market, is he cuttable or do I just need to be patent?

Justin Mason

10:56

I would be patient

Jesse

10:56

Brice Turang? Is he toast because the league learned how to pitch to him or can he hit 250-260 with some power and speed?

Justin Mason

10:57

Don't think there is much power, but I think he can hit 260 and steal bases

Steven Matz

10:57

How much longer of a leash will he have before the Cards trade away one of their young hitters to replace him in the rotation? I loved what I saw in Spring, but it’s been ugly so far.

Justin Mason

10:57

I think he has a little leash, but the Cards want to win so he might only get through may

Masons stick together

10:57

Hi Justin, thanks for doing these! In shallower leagues (10 team 6cat QS) do you think it is better to gamble on k upside with guys like Mason Miller, Logan Allen or Matt Strahm or hold on to solid guy like Jordan Montgomery with out the K upside.

Justin Mason

10:58

I think I would rather have Montgomery over all of those

Chip

10:58

Have to drop an SP. Mason Miller, Senga or Grayson to the wire?

Justin Mason

10:58

Miller

Jake

10:58

For this week in a 5x5 NFBC Roto: Jansen or Zunino and Steer or Torkelson?
