That is tough. I don't want to overreact on Soto, but I am super high on Arozarena. Randy is who I want.

Josiah Gray

10:31

Tell me why I shouldn’t believe the hype with him

Justin Mason

10:31

You should

Kichael Mopech

10:31

Agree starting Gore 2-start, but are you worried about him not really improving his BB% in this early surge?

Justin Mason

10:32

It is definitely concerning, but really hard not to roll with him while he is getting results. Walk rate needs to come down

Vaughn Grissom

10:32

I'm hitting well, but what's going to happen to me when Arcia comes back?

Justin Mason

10:33

Hopefully he stays up. I think he should but I didn't think he should have gone down initially either.

Aging SPs

10:33

Deep NL only 5x5. Matz or Thor ROY?

Justin Mason

10:33

Neither? I guess Matz

Why not Zoidberg?

10:33

Is Tyler O'Neil rosterable in an 8 team league? Traded Hoerner for him and think I'm probably holding on because of that mistake

Justin Mason

10:33

Hard to roster a guy that doesn't play a ton in that size of a league.

Kid

10:33

Graham Ashcraft - Throws super hard, seems to limit hard contact... but also doesn't miss bats and walks too many doods. Can he take a step forward to be a reliable mixed-league asset?

Justin Mason

10:34

I think this is who he is. He is a streamer in shallower formats.

Mookie Dookie

10:34

Grayson threw 75innings last year. How many do you expect the Orioles let him get to this season?

Justin Mason

10:34

Depends on how they are doing. If they fall out of the race he probably gets shut down at like 130

Kichael Mopech

10:34

Cut Smith for Jones in baseball?

Justin Mason

10:34

lol

Tucupita Marcano

10:34

Is he worth a pickup in a deeper NL only league or would you prefer Senzel? Anyone with a pulse in Pitt is stealing bases

Justin Mason

10:35

I prefer Senzel right now

Struggling White Sox

10:35

I spent 20 FAAB claiming Eloy and put out another 20 for Robert (people in my league are dumb and panic dropping in 12 team 5x5). Am I burning too much FAAB on buy low guys?

Justin Mason

10:35

Not for guys like that.

David

10:35

What are your expectations for Gavin Stone?

Justin Mason

10:36

I think he will be pretty good with some hiccups mixed in. Walk rate might be a concern that leads to some blow ups.

Vic

10:36

Deciding what to do with Shohei is the bane of my existence. He was dominating the As until a very bottom of the 3rd likely threw him off for a moment. I still think it was the right decision at the time, but a high AVG, 3 bags, and pair of HRs is tough to miss out on....should I leave him at DH moving forward unless his 2nd start is scheduled for a Saturday?

Justin Mason

10:36

I think that is a good strategy most times out.

Kyle

10:37

Dropping either Tyler Anderson or Kyle Bradish for Braxton Garrett or Griffin Canning?

Justin Mason

10:37

I have Anderson and Bradish a little higher than both but I can understand making those kind of moves.

Booby

10:37

Which 3rd baseman is better ROS.....Chapman or Jung?

Justin Mason

10:37

Chapman

Tommy

10:37

Amed Rosario hit the wire. Would you prioritize him over “hot popups” like Suwinski, Harold Ramirez, etc?

Justin Mason

10:37

Absolutely

Mr Red

10:37

Cut bait on Casas and Tork in a dynasty league?

Justin Mason

10:38

I would try and trade them if I could. I moved Tork for Nathaniel Lowe at the beginning of the season.

Daniel

10:38

When are the Cards going to bring up Liberatore? He's added velocity and is kicking ass.

Justin Mason

10:38

I think he may be up around Memorial Day. Maybe sooner if they cut bait on Matz

BCubs

10:38

I have a pitching logjam coming to a head, not sure how I should maneuver - 20 team 20 categories - bottom of my rotation is Quantrill, Wesneski, Wainright Bibee, I have Taillon and Waino coming off the IL in a few days. What do I do?

Justin Mason

10:39

Try and move Quantrill? I don't think I would cut any of them for Waino

Bob

10:39

ROS Josh Jung or Bobby Witt Jr.?

Justin Mason

10:39

Witt

Wally

10:39

Drop Detmers or Taj Bradley?
