What's up w Yu Darvish? Seems like he's had a rough June and iirc he had a couple duds in May though I think the month itself overall wasn't as bad as his June has been.
Justin Mason
10:13
Darvish was pretty lucky last year and getting  unlucky this year. The truth is somewhat in the middle. He has an xERA of 3.62 which is more in line with where he probably should be rest of the season. Part of the issue has been he is not attacking the zone early in counts. I tend to believe he will be fine if he is healthy, which he seems to be right now.

Is Lane Thomas a sell high or is he too good to trade right now? The guy has been incredible, and while most metrics suggest overperformance, he just keeps cooking.
Justin Mason
10:15
He is definitely getting lucky with the BABIP, but when you put the ball in play as much as he does, you can give yourself the opportunity to get lucky. Will there be regression? Sure, but I don't think he falls apart because the contact skills are so good.

My league's 1st half ends after this scoring week. 8-team, NL-only standard 5x5. I'm trying to climb into 3rd to get a lil money. Need all the stats I can get. Would you sit Stroman with his potential blister issue? Or Sheehan in Colorado? My only other option is a two-start Rich Hill or Leiter as a 3rd reliever. Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:15
I would roll with Stroman

Justin, how does Seiya Suzuki hit the ball hard and just not get any results?
Justin Mason
10:17
Because it is easier to hit the ball with authority at a lower launch angle. That being said, I would buy low here. I still believe in the talent.

Hey Justin, I'm toiling over some rotation picks for this week in a 12tm 6x6 roto. Am I crazy for rolling out K. Bradish (v. MIN), F. Peralta (@ Pit), and B. Woo (v. WAS)... while sitting H. Brown (@ TEX), G. Kirby (v. TB), and B. Ober (@ BAL)? I have McClanahan too, but I may not roll the dice on the back with very few updates since his start
Justin Mason
10:17
I don't think you are crazy, but I don't think I would sit McClanahan or Kirby

How many innings does Wooooooooooo end up with this year?
Justin Mason
10:18
110-120?
SamskiNYC

Should I give up on Rowdy Tellez? I don’t want to give up on Rowdy Tellez, but nothing looks really good
Justin Mason
10:18
I am writing him up today as a buy low...

Drop Heaney for Woo in 16 team points league?
Justin Mason
10:18
Sure

What do you expect from Nolan Gorman & MJ Melendez ROS? Just a slump for Gorman? Trying to stay patient with Melendez, but are the HR ever going to come?
Justin Mason
10:20
I think this is who Gorman is. He will run hot and then go ice cold. It is up to you if you can handle the ups and downs. I still believe in Melendez but in a 1-catcher league, I understand moving on.

Rank these OF ROS for points league (no K penalty): J.Lowe, L.Taveras, Kelenic, Matos. Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:20
Kelenic, Lowe, Taveras, MAtos

I noticed, in the top Arizona diamondbacks prospects, that you guys have Landon Sims sitting 90-92 as opposed to other sources that report mid 90s. Can you explain the discrepancy?
Justin Mason
10:21
You would have to ask Eric.
MF Luder

Hold or sell high on Jon Gray?
Justin Mason
10:21
I would try and sell high if I can. Love the talent, but the health track record scares me.
RGM
10:21
Do you think Muncy will be able to continue his production assuming he's healthy?  What level of pitcher would you trade for him?
Justin Mason
10:22
I definitely do think he can. If I could get him for a SP outside the top 40, I would do that and feel really good about it.
Owen
10:22
I am an experienced player, but mostly in H2H formats and did my first draft and hold this offseason.  I've done well, holding first for multiple weeks now, with the lead fluctuating between the 20-14 point range, which I feel pretty safe with.  But should I feel safe?  What is a "good" lead at this point in the NFBC format?
Justin Mason
10:23
No lead is safe at this point. Keep grinding. Look for ways to continue to separate yourself and pick up points. Remember there is also an overall in those draft and holds and that is where the real money is won. Good luck!

scale of 1-10, how self destructive to start Sonny in QS tonight if my WHIP is precarious?

In a vacuum ROS Buxton or Nolan Jones?
Justin Mason
10:24
Buxton
Sonny
10:24
Worried about Kiriloff’s very low Max EV numbers? Doesn’t seem like a profile that sustains CI/OF productivity
Justin Mason
10:24
I have never been a fan so I would be pretty worried if I had him on a roster.
Penguin

Thought I heard you have action on the DBacks to win the division.  If so, are you going to make any hedge plays on the Giants and/or Dodgers, or just let it ride?
Justin Mason
10:26
I am letting it ride. It isn't a big enough bet to worry about hedging.

Bro, what in the flying squirrel poo is up with Corbin Burnes?
