I think this is BABIP luck. .249 xBA and three total home runs

12 team, AL only 5x5 ROTO.  I have to make a decision between Jordan Diaz and Maikel Garcia, am in good position in HR and Steals.  Who would you go with?
Justin Mason
10:18
Diaz this week.

Hi Justin, Thanks for chatting. Mitch Keller is the man. Could he be swapped in a 15 team league for someone Devers at this point?
Justin Mason
10:19
Umm... if you can get a top 50 bat for him, I am taking that in a heartbeat.
Kate

What would you do with Daniel Bard in a 15 teamer right now?  Roto dynasty league with daily roster moves and pretty deep benches and it's SV+H/2 instead of just saves.  With significant drop in velo, he doesn't seem anywhere close to reclaiming the closer's role and, even if he did, I don't think I'd trust him.  Is he a straight drop at this point?  Honestly think I'd be better off just rostering a solid holds guy with this spot.
Justin Mason
10:19
I definitely think you can move on.

Just picked up B. Singer for his two-step this week in 12-team roto - good idea, or should he be benched?
Justin Mason
10:20
He doesn't have a two-step I do not think. Tuesday vs SD and then a two-step next week. I think he is likely not 12-team worthy against the PAdres.
Millertime
10:20
Are you dropping the likes of Mason Miller and Lodolo or holding?
Justin Mason
10:20
I am ok dropping if you don't have IL room. More likely to hold Lodolo since it is not an arm injury.
Scott

Jorge Mateo - is the elevator going down to becoming part-time player?
Justin Mason
10:21
Yeah, the fairy dust wore off. He is hitting .105 this month.
Josh
10:22
Your take on McLain RoS (broadly)?
Justin Mason
10:23
Has really good understanding of the strike zone, but doesn't always make good zone contact. Enough power and speed to be interesting but no standout tool. Needs playing time to accumulate.

Carnitas - #1 overall pick for burrito filling?
Justin Mason
10:23
I am an Al Pastor guy.
cool 1
Josh Jung
10:23
Did that injury permanently turn him from low- to mid-20s K% to 30-ish?
Justin Mason
10:24
Swinging strike rate is 12% and he is making league average contact in the zone. I think that K rate comes down to like 25%
Kate
10:24
Any idea what to make of Spring at this point?  Plate discipline metrics look fine, but the power and BABIP are MIA.  Hard hit % way down.  I think he had an offseason procedure to clean up his elbow, maybe still not 100% healthy?  Or is this just age catching up to him?
Justin Mason
10:27
Springer? I am not super worried about him. Getting unlucky a bit in the BABIP. The max exit velo is right where it should be. He is running more which is nice. I think he heats up in the summer unless there is an injury we don't know about.

12 team H2H points league. Struggling at 1B with Tellez, Bell, and France. How would you rank them for ROS and who is the better add — Drury, or L. Wade? Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:27
Tellez, France, Bell. I am ok dropping one of them for Wade.
Jeff

12 team Ottoneu 5x5: I’m looking to upgrade Ks without tanking my ratios. Just picked up Ober; Varland, Megill, Wells, Bradish, Smyly all available. Any season long interest in these guys, or are they simple streams against bad teams?
Justin Mason
10:28
In a 12 I think most of them can be streamed. Play the matchups.
Frenchy
10:28
Am I wrong to dream on SP J. France being a set-and-forget in a 12 teamer?
Justin Mason
10:28
Never is wrong to dream, but I think there will be blow ups because the command can be hit or miss. I have him in a bunch of spots so I am dreaming with you!
James
10:29
Who is a better hold: Ben Brown or Bobby Miller? And when do you think either's debuts could come?
Justin Mason
10:29
Miller
I think Miller is up this summer. Brown could be up in June.
Kate
10:29
Josh Bell going to get the power going at some point you think?
Justin Mason
10:30
He is hitting the ball into the ground and not making enough zone contact. These are not good signs for a power rebound.
Tyler Stephenson
10:30
13tm roto std. Should I be looking to moving on from Stephenson? Gomes, Langeliers, Moreno, Bethancourt, Sabol, Wong, Haase all available. Any of these better ROS?
Justin Mason
10:30
I would go Montero
Rickey
10:30
Would you start Nestor vs Toronto, or Jon Gray vs Colorado this week? Nestor’s really been rough these last few starts.
Justin Mason
10:31
Gray looked really good and gets the Rockies away from Coors without CJ Cron. I am going that direction.
Colton
10:31
Needing 3B help in a H2H ESPN points league. Would you go Moncada, Jung, or JD Davis for ROS potentially? It's an 8 man league.
Justin Mason
10:31
Jung
Pick one at SS
10:33
O. Arcia or G. Perdomo - 12 tm roto
Justin Mason

Arcia
