In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, mastodon, threads, post, 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!

Big Lead in a 15 Team 5 x 5. About 20 points. Should I wait and see how 2nd place team trades in the next few weeks, or  mortgage the future by trading prospects to guarantee the title?
Justin Mason
10:01
I would do a deep dive to see where I can lose spots in the standings. 20 point lead is great but things sometimes are more fraudulent then they appear. No need to mortgage the future if it is really unlikely you can be caught, but if you can then it is something you might want to think about.

12 team OBP league. Just traded noot and Gunnar for trout. Also rostering witt, turner, and elly, so I had a roster glut of SS/3B. Did I pay too much for Mike?
Justin Mason
10:02
In a redraft, I don't think so. In a keeper I still think you are ok, but the gunnar loss could hurt
DC

Looking to improve on Stephenson in my Catcher slot. I just got offered William Contreras for Tanner Bibee, 1:1... I have Woodruff (**Hopefully**) coming back soon so need to burn a SP anyways. Would you accept? (6x6 Roto, 13 teams)
Justin Mason
10:02
Absolutely
Vic
10:03
Pfaadt is having the same year in Triple A so maybe next year he'll figure it out?
Justin Mason
10:05
I think he probably will, but I also think home runs might still be an issue for him until he sharpens his command. That being said, the walk rates were good in the Majors and the minors, so I don't think this is something that stops him from being a serviceable fantasy starter long term.
Vic
10:06
What is wrong with Joe Ryan? Still getting Ks but c'mon...?
Justin Mason
10:07
Dude gives up too many home runs. That being said, I think he will be better. His HR/FB rate is really high over his last six starts. I may write him up as a buy low today for an article.
STL
10:07
Masyn Winn starting SS STL later this week?  Thanks
Justin Mason
10:07
I think there is a very good chance he is.
Jesse
10:07
Where do you have Matt McClain for next year? Trinton Casas (same question)?
Justin Mason
10:08
Really good question. Ask me in chat next week or on twitter at the end of this week because I am going to be doing 2024 ranks tonight for my three sport draft that begins Wednesday.
Vic
10:08
Week to Week, who do you trust more Gore or Josiah Gray?
Justin Mason
10:09
Gore but it is close
Sheehan
10:09
Any thoughts rest of season?
Justin Mason
10:09
I think he is in the bullpen or minors after the Dodgers deadline moves.

Frelick

MJ Melendez got 10 games at catcher early on....but none in awhile. Are his days of catcher officially over?
Justin Mason
10:09
I think so

Is Luzardo a must start this week @ TEX? I'm struggling with who to start for the week. I have to sit 2 out of Scherzer, Castillo, Luzardo, P. Lopez, Bibbe, C. Sanchez, H. Brown, Lynn and Matz. Who would you sit? (12 team roto)
Justin Mason
10:11
I would sit Luzardo and Bibee
Vic

Why don't pitchers simply throw fastballs to avoid walks with big leads? See: Kremer last night?
Justin Mason
10:12
I think pitchers are creatures of habits and don't want to make changes like that mid game. A more seasoned battery might have made different decisions.
Aaron

Traded Yandy Diaz and Cristian Javier for Vladdy Jr in a 10 team h2h 5 cats + obp last week in an effort to consolidate at a CI spot while trying to get whatever name value was left on Javier. Will Vladdy reach his lofty expected stats though or will this one look like a wash in the end?
Justin Mason
10:12
I think he will. Great move!
The Kid
10:12
How did I do? My Merrill Kelly, Gore, Varsho for Jazz and Sean Murphy. I'm in first place and need some more lineup stability in a league that leans towards pitching. Secondly, once Cedric Mullins comes back, who would you cut between Soler, J Duran, or McCormick?
Points league for my questions
Justin Mason
10:13
I love this trade for you. Should cement a championship with that. I think I would cut McCormick but maybe you could trade one of them?
Dave
10:13
I was offered Kyle Schwarber for Brandon Donovan and Seiya Suzuki in my points league.  I'm in the top three right now, so would Schwarber be an upgrade?
Justin Mason
10:13
depends on if their are negative points for K's
Charles
10:13
Hi Justin, Rizzo is killing me in my 12 man points league.  He's always been streaky but this feels different.  Should I cut bait and pick up someone like Ryan O'Hearn instead?  Thanks
Justin Mason
10:14
I would wait and see what the Orioles and Yankees do at the deadline, but if nothing with playing time changes, I can understand making that move.
Ed
10:14
Will you be in on Shane Baz next year when he's 18 plus months out from TJ?
Justin Mason
10:15
Really depends on the price but if he is cheap enough I would be. I tried to trade for him in a keeper today where I am rebuilding but the team doesn't want to let him go which makes me think he may be more expensive than I would pay.
Alex
10:15
What do we do with India? He seems to be the odd man out and now he's on the IL. I'm concerned he won't get enough playing time even when he comes back
Justin Mason
10:17
Since it is unlikely he gets moved, I think he will be fine when he comes back. No reason he should lose playing time over other guys. He was playing every day before the injury.
