Votto or Wade, yes

You starting CES this week, or wait and see?  Jose Abreu, with a nice schedule, would be the alternative. 12 tm 5x5
Justin Mason
10:27
I think I am with seven games at home and a pretty nice set of matchups.
JW
10:27
Stott or Gorman at 2B this week?
Justin Mason
10:28
Stott
Stuart
10:28
will anyone ever be able to explain the difference between Isaac Paredes real life and statcast?
Justin Mason
10:28
Nope, but I would appreciate him keeping it up the rest of the season so I can continue to benefit. He can fall apart next year.
Sexton
10:29
Alex Manoah, tell me how you feel about him. Is it too risky to leave him on the wire in a 10 team league with 5sp and 2 P slots, just in case he has somehow figured it out?
Justin Mason
10:29
I hate to say it, but I would roster him but be really careful about when I use him. The talent is in there.
JW
10:29
Thank you in advance for all your advice.
Justin Mason
10:29
Thank you!
Vince

What do you foresee for CES rest of season? Will he be useful in OBP leagues? Is the playing time there?
Justin Mason
10:30
I think the playing time will be there if he hits. The question is who do the Reds trade for pitching? India?
Jasmine Bae

Hi, Justin! Do you, like me, get a headache trying to determine which TB players are worth rostering? (All due to the Rays mix/matching approach.)

When do you suspect that players like Aranda and Mead will be worth having in 12-team contexts, re-draft and dynasty?

Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:31
This is why I try and avoid a lot of rays players unless the price is right. I think Aranda will continue to be blocked, but Mead should break into the lineup at some point. Just might be next year.

Do you like Ranger Suarez, Tarik Skubal, or JP Sears best in a 12 team mixed standard scoring league?
Justin Mason
10:31
Suarez

Is it time to just cut ties with eloy? Hurting me week after week. 12t hth
Justin Mason
10:31
I think it is defensible, but I have a hard time doing it.
Warren

10 tm 7x7 (OPS, XBH, BAA, QS)...I traded my Sandy and Starling for Correa and Luzardo...how'd I do?
Justin Mason
10:32
Not a fan.
Pedro

Justin:  your thoughts on Jordan Diaz?  Lots of power, decent K rate, just 22 and no one blocking him in Oak.  I'm thinking of cutting DLM for him in an AL only 5x5.  Thanks in advance
Justin Mason
10:34
I think the K rate is pretty fraudulent. Swings a ton and misses a lot. Going to be hot and cold and hard to predict. I can understand making that move because LeMaheiu has been so bad though.
Medium Chungus
10:34
Im currently stashing Harry Ford in my 20 team dynasty. I dont expect him to be called up this season, but do you think he makes his debut in 2024? If he would just be burning a roster spot for another whole season, i think id be better off using that spot on someone who can help sooner.
Justin Mason
10:35
I think he may be up in the second half next year. He is still in A ball and while the power/speed is good, I think there are still come contact and defensive issues that could take a bit
Guest

My IL slots are full and now have one too many injured players than available slots. SB are a knife-fight in my deep 16 teamer. Is Mondesi a drop?
Justin Mason
10:35
yes
Kevin
10:35
Any sneaky source for steals that doesn't also come attached to a 650 OPS?
Justin Mason
10:36
Zach Gelof might be and he just got called back up. Ji Hwan Bae should be back soon.
George
10:36
I primarily want SB from the following options: Berti, Walls, Gelof. Which 2 do you like the best?
Justin Mason
10:36
Walls and Gelof
Mooseknuckle Curve
10:37
I've been rolling with both Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter the past few weeks and I've been loving it!  Can they keep this up?
Justin Mason
10:38
I think Carpenter can but am less convinced that Torkelson can
Jersey
10:38
Kim doesn’t seem to get much love. Any logic to him just now getting acclimated to MLB pitching and he’ll be solid moving forward?
Justin Mason
10:39
I think he is pretty overlooked. He is on pace of a quiet monster season and leafing off for an offense that should be better in the second half.
HappyFunBall

12xRoto, standard cats but QS instead of W. Innings limit means it sucks when a starter doesn't go at least 6. Need to make room for CES and Logan Allen getting called up.

Rank, please: Abbott, Allen, German, Heaney.

I feel like Heaney has to get gone. He's not even a "good against bad lineups" guy like German. He's just a random number generator. But also Allen was having real trouble getting enough distance before he was sent down. Decisions!
Justin Mason
10:40
Abbott, Allen, Heaney, German

Asking you to read the tea leaves on Jackson Chourio. He has underwhelmed at AA. It looks like he's being exposed on the outside of the plate, which has really killed his prodigious power numbers (<.200 iso). In a dynasty league (5x4 roto), if you have to cut one of Chourio, Wood, Lawlar this season, which one has the least probable path to stardom.
Justin Mason
10:43
I don't want to cut any of them to be honest. If I have to cut one, it is Lawlar.
Abe

How would you rank these SPs in H2H categories: Lynn, Civale, Grayson Rodriguez, Gavin Williams
