Chat will begin at the top of the hour as long as we have enough questions. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!

Keep forever league where I'm loaded at SS/3B. I give up Gunnar Henderson, Jordan Walker, Jazz Chisholm but get Kyle Tucker and Logan Webb. I'm very unlikely to keep Chisholm next year when he goes to OF only. Yes or no?

Justin Mason

10:01

That feels like a lot to give up to me personally. I understand doing it though if that is what helps you win now though

Mission From Rob

10:01

10 Team CBS Points keeper - Do you prefer Braxton Garrett or Trevor Rogers ROS if looking for upside?? Thanks!

Justin Mason

10:01

Rogers definitely has the great upside, but he is much less likely to realize it given what we have seen.

Nick

10:01

OK to give up on Jose Miranda?

Justin Mason

10:01

At this point, yes

Mission From Rob

10:01

Also, 10 team CBS Points keeper...how likely is Michael Harris II to return top 40 OF value ROS?

Justin Mason

10:02

It is kind of a crapshoot. He definitely has the skills to do so, but the plate discipline issues are going to hold him back. I'd say 50/50

Globster

10:03

Thoughts on Maikel Garcia in KC? Could be some interesting fantasy juice there for deeper formats.

Justin Mason

10:04

He can definitely swipe a ton of bags if he gets regular playing time. There is good in zone contact ability and he is very fast and on a team that likes to run. I don't know that there will be much power in that park given his profile, but decent average and speed for sure.

ChaCha

10:04

Will Endy Rodriguez or Luis Matos come up this year? Will they make a difference in a title run?

Justin Mason

10:07

I think both could be up at some point in the near future. Both have obstacles in their situation to being fantasy rich prospects though. I see Endy as more of a Keibert Ruiz kind of catcher that hits for average, but not much else. Matos has a crowded situation in SF and I don't know that he can play center which is where the Giants really could use another outfield bat. Unless Mitch Haniger or Michael Conforto go down, I just don't know where he plays.

Greg

10:07

How would you rank these ros? Siri, B. De La Cruz, Ward, N. Jones.

Justin Mason

10:07

Ward, De La Cruz, Jones, Siri

Gunnar

10:08

Any hope in Gunnar Henderson living up to the hype after this last week of being absolutely on fire?

Justin Mason

10:10

Still has massive issues versus left handed pitching. Hitting .195 vs southpaws this year and while he is hitting 1.000 versus them in June, it is only three plate appearances. If he can fix that issue, then yes, but we just haven't seen enough.

Why not Zoidberg

10:10

I'm in an 8-team H2H league. Lost Vinny P and my best options appear to be Kiriloff, Bell, or Noda maybe. Been offered Goldschmidt for Eovaldi - think that's even? I'd probably bring in someone like German, Paxton, Bibee to replace him.

Justin Mason

10:10

I would take Goldy in a heartbeat. Grab Paxton or Bibee off the wire.

Hank

10:10

Jamie Barria has some pretty interesting underlying stats. When he’s not @TEX do you see streaming viability there?

Justin Mason

10:12

He is definitely pitching over his head, but that doesn't mean he can't be a viable team streamer moving forward. I think he is probably a 3.7 type guy rest of the way with a 20-24% K rate.

Dave “Guetch” Laird

10:12

Any reason for me to pick up Dylan Carlson in a 12 team league?

Justin Mason

10:12

Probably not. I just don't trust the playing time or his skills.

Pedro

10:12

Hi Justin. Have a roster crunch in my AL only 5x5 - need to decide between Kepler & Olivares. Thanks in advance

Justin Mason

10:12

Keep Oliveras

Ned

10:12

Cal Raleigh or Ty Stephenson 12tm 5x5? thx!

Justin Mason

10:13

Depends on team needs. Raleigh is better for power, but the average is awful.

schlub

10:13

12 team 5x5, do you think Nate Pearson or Trevor Richards will become fantasy relevant with the Jays staff in flux?

Justin Mason

10:14

No, I think that Pearson stays in the bullpen to keep him healthy. Richard could be the answer in the short term but I think we kind of know what guy he is. I think the Jays add someone at the deadline.

Dave “Guetch” Laird

10:14

Wondering if I crapped the bed on not trading Greene when people were asking me about him a few weeks ago. Sounds like he could be out for awhile.

Justin Mason

10:16

There are multiple reports that include he may not miss as much time as we first thought, but I think it is still looking like a 6-week time table. I had him as a sell high a couple of weeks again in my Buy Low/Sell High article I write weekly on Fantasy Pros.

Shooter McGavin

10:16

Did Gunnar Henderson sacrifice a baby goat to the spirit of Cal Ripken?

Justin Mason

10:16

2 points awarded!

CHUBBS PETERSON

10:17

12 m KEEPER LEAGUE 6×6 (OBP, QS instead of Wins, K/9)
I have a logjam at 3rd and a trade partner dangling some aces-
would you rather acquire
Ohtani (only as SP- thanks yahoo) for 1.5 years at $18
or
Joe Ryan for 3.5 years starting at $7
I’d be parting with Austin Riley – 1.5 years left at $17.
(but I have EDLC, Steer, and N Gorman all on the cheap)

Justin Mason

10:17

I think I would take the discount on Ryan for longer if I needed to move a CI

Dan

10:17

How high would you rank Jon Gray and Bobby Miller in RoS SP rankings?

Justin Mason

10:18

Both in the top 40-50. Skills could get them higher, but injury concerns are always there for Gray and I don't know how many innings we see from Miller rest of the way.

Guest

10:18

would you drop grove for justin lawrence in an nl only? no real "need" either way just looking for best player, could use saves or starter ratios etc

Justin Mason

10:18

I would keep Grove

Ned

10:18

Happ, J Sanchez, Suwinski, Morel, or Rooker 12tm 5x5? thx!
