Scott Barlow, Tanner Scott, Joel Payamps
Randy Choate

When you want to be a bad boy and get down on some real shitty ass food, what’s your go-to meal? I’m talkin zero nutritional value & causes havoc in your bowels for days afterwards.
Justin Mason
10:26
Taco Bell or In and Out

How soon do you think we will see Pete Crow Armstrong in the majors? Especially with Bellinger becoming a free agent after the season and Suzuki not hitting, do you see him coming up September or becoming a starter out of spring training?
Justin Mason
10:27
I think he is in the conversation next year. With roster expansion being smaller than it used to be, it seems unlikely he is up in September.

6 keeper years to allot across this group (max 2 per player, all FA pickups so forfeit a last round pick): Jung, Casas, A Abbott, Bobby Miller, Matt McLain...what say you?
Justin Mason
10:27
Jung and Abbott
Carmine
10:27
Do you think Taj Bradley is back up at some point this season, and if so, when?
Justin Mason
10:28
Considering what they are running out there right now, if he is not up right now, he may not be back.
Felipe Alou

Have room for one of Quintana, Scholtens, Sandoval, or Schmidt in a ten team head to head...any thoughts? Thanks
Justin Mason

Quintana

In a 12 team league, 5x5 (ops instead of avg). We offer keepers 1 pitcher, 1 hitter, with a 2 round draft penalty. A trade recently had our league in an uproar due to the first place team trading Spencer Strider (a 4th next year) and Randy Arozarena (a 7th next year) for Ohtani (to the last place team). Does this seem like a fair trade? Or was the first place guy trying to pick a pocket with these?
Justin Mason
10:29
If Ohtani is a hitter and a pitcher that can be kept, I get the trade in a daily lineups league. Fair is in the eye of the beholder.

Most saves ROS: Foley or Ottovino?

Ottavino

Any hope for Matt Manning?  Guy doesnt seem to throw as hard anymore, doesnt K anyone, and just barely gets through games.
Justin Mason
10:30
I think there is hope he is a mediocre MLB pitcher, but he is never reaching the heights of his prospect pedigree.
Ryan

Thanks Justin for doing this - very helpful.  Please rank in order streamers for tomorrow (D. Hudson-Stl, B Falther-Pit, D Peterson-NYM).
Justin Mason
10:30
Hudson, Falter, Peterson.

Singer at the Nootbaar - that you? If so, good team but not good enough
Justin Mason
10:30
That is me! I'm coming for you!

What kind of statline is Riley Greene's ceiling?
Justin Mason
10:31
25/10 .280.

has gavin williams turned a corner these past few starts? Ks seemed lower than expected prior to the past 2
Justin Mason
10:32
I think he has. There will be bumps along the way, but of the big prospect pitchers we have seen, he is among my favorite. I think the stuff is legit and the K's will come.
Heim Time!
10:32
Jason, thanks for the chat.  Down the wire here, am I safe betting on Jonah Heim as my every day catcher rest of way?
Justin Mason
10:32
Safe? Probably not. He could reaggravate the injury at any time and be done for the season, but he was the #1 catcher this year before getting hurt so the upside is immense.

a few disappointing starts for eury perez out of the gate :(
Justin Mason
10:34
Yeah, I am not overly worried though. I am continuing to roll with him after this week. I am sitting him versus the Dodgers.
Cant keep everyone
10:34
Standard 10-team, 5x5 auction, keepers: Munoz or Santos; J.Walker or K.Carpenter; Ruiz or Y.Diaz; Bryce Miller, M.Keller? All are cheap contracts.
Justin Mason
10:34
Munoz, Walker, Ruiz, Miller
rick
10:35
how would you rank grayson, paxton, skubal and braxton garrett for the stretch run? more so picking the matchups? h2h league with W, K, ERA, WHIP
Justin Mason
10:35
Garrett, Paxton Grayson, Skubal
OBP ROS rank?
10:35
I.Happ, T.O'Neill, K.Carpenter, T.Estrada, G.Springer
Justin Mason
10:35
Springer, Estrada, Carpenter, Happ, O'Neill
Chip
10:36
I'm starting to believe that if you don't land a no doubt ace in your draft or auction (especially for dynasty games) then there is so much variability in SP that you can kind of try to find some decent filler and fill your rotation through the year. Am I wrong?
Justin Mason
10:37
Yes and no. It depends on how good you are at drafting the middle rounds. If you land on the really good guys that bump up tiers than it can work out, but you can also just be so far below the pack it prevents you from catching up.
