I lean Vargas here. I love the talent

Hard for me to drop Bae with the elite steals, but Suwinski and Senzel were both just dropped to the wire. Drop Bae for either/both? 12T 5x5 redraft. Only other major steals source is Mateo, I get some extras from Varsho, Semien, Ohtani, etc.

I am holding Bae

Have a free IL pick up in my league for Eloy, would you go Rooker, Mateo or Verdugo in his place? It's ESPN points.
Justin Mason
10:17
Verdugo

McMahon is on my bench in 12 team mixed 5x5 with OPS instead of BA but I'm thinking about dropping him. I'd originally planned on possibly using him some when he's at Coors but his K% has been ridiculous so far and I feel like I could make better use of the roster spot. What do you think?
Justin Mason
10:17
I don't mind dropping him if you see a better option. I would only stream him in Coors if you hold

12 team mixed…drop Wisdom for E Duran or Rendon? Am I just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic!? I drafted Walker & am wondering if I’ll just be streaming 3B all year.

Duran

What will have been the most iconic 2023 A's moment? a.) losing a broadcast booth to possums; b.) Glen Kuiper's... museum visit; c.) their team setting a new loss record; d.) moving to Vegas; e.) the boycott; or f.) the reverse boycott

Got to be Moving to Vegas

Rank these guys in a 5x5 redraft: Chafin, Puk, M. King, Mark Leiter Jr.
Justin Mason

Puk, King, Chafin, Leiter

do you see lodolo as a decent buy low candidate? no way this hr/9 keeps up. potentially a mid 3s era guy ROS?
Justin Mason
10:20
Yeah, he has a 3.44 SIERRA. I don't know that he does that all year because Cincy is still a bandbox, but he should be better than this.

What on earth do we do with Brandon Lowe and Amed Rosario. Are they cuts in a 15 teamer?
Justin Mason
10:22
I wonder if Rosario is hurt. All the skills are have regressed. I am not dropping either yet, but I am benching for now.

Could you rank the following SPs as a bench streamer in a 12 tm, standard 5x5:  JP France, S.Lugo, Mikolas, B.Ober, Soroka, Ranger Suarez, L.Varland, Wesneski.  League limits the number of moves you can make per season and I'm notorious for burning through mine by Aug. So considerations for ROS. Thank you in advance for all the advice
Justin Mason
10:23
Wesneski, Suarez, Mikolas, France, Ober, Soroka, Varland

Best Vlad replacement: Vargas, LaMont Jr., Jose Miranda

Still keeping the faith with Tyler Stephenson? I’ve got a waiver wire with E Diaz, G Moreno, A Kirk and Haase. Make a move or stand down?
Justin Mason
10:23
I could switch out for Kirk
Philip
10:24
you feel okay with burnes ROS? his K rate is down but i cant seem to find any reason why
Justin Mason
10:24
I am pretty worried. I think he is hurt and pitching through it.

What do you think about Ezequiel Tovar's recent uptick? Just on a hot streak? Or has he finally gotten through his MLB adjustment phase? What do you think going forward?
Justin Mason
10:26
He is hot right now, but not showing great skills either. Swinging outside the zone too much and not making enough contact in the zone. I don't think he keeps it up tbh
Kate
10:26
Does Ezequiel Duran have an everyday (or almost everyday) role once Seager comes back?
Justin Mason
10:27
It will be a super utility role until someone else gets hurt. I think they will find spots for him.
Pedro

Hi Justin.  I have to sit one of Heaney vs Mariners, Varland vs. Padres, or Anderson vs. Indians  in an AL only 5x5.  Thoughts?  I am thinking of sitting Anderson and am intrigued with Varland (even though he faces the Padres) as his underlying metrics are good and it's a home start.  Thanks in advance
Justin Mason
10:29
Sit Anderson
B'ryce Hammer
10:29
Any idea when an updated SP ranking might come out?
Justin Mason
10:29
I believe Paul is working on his as we speak
McCullers
10:29
Yes/No:  bless my plan to pursue him in my AL only league.
Justin Mason
10:29
No

In a 15 team dynasty, we have excellent starting pitching but could use relief help and our bats are just atrocious. Is moving our Sonny Gray/Nolan Gorman for Matt Olson/Alexis Diaz/JD Martinez a decent deal?
Justin Mason
10:31
I don't think it is bad, but I am not a fan of Olson's underlying numbers. If I am trying to capitalize on Gray right now, I want a bat that isn't swinging and missing so much in the zone.
Penny
10:31
If you needed some hitting help, would you be looking to move Sonny Gray or Corbin Burnes?
Justin Mason
10:31
Burnes
Kate
10:32
How much of what Jarren Duran is doing is real?  Still striking out a fair amount, but the plate discipline numbers are actually quite good.  Double digit barrel rate, almost 50% HH rate.  Is he just a really good platoon bat?
