Playoff week: prefer Dunning (at NYM) or J Wicks (at CIN)?
Justin Mason
10:00
I lean Dunning here. I really do like Wicks, but in Cincy is a scary spot to pitch for a young pitcher.
Chip

Is Ke'Bryan Hayes turning a corner? He's looked awfully good lately.
Justin Mason
10:02
I think he is. Really good in zone contact and he has power and speed. Should be a nice rebound stretch for him. He has even started to lift the ball some which is exciting

Arraez, France or Tellez ROS in roto cats?
Justin Mason
10:02
Tellez

what is your level of worry for the yankees shutting down judge sometime in september? debating a Vlad or TTurner for Judge+McMahon deal to make a run at HRs and RBIs
Justin Mason
10:02
I don't think they would unless he got hurt again.
Cory
10:03
What to do about Mike Trout?  I'm in a 14 team H2H keeper league and can challenge for a title this year however I don't see Trout coming back.  I also believe his best days are behind him.   Would you advocate moving Trout a year too early and see if I can get something to help the push this year or maintain my patience?
Justin Mason
10:03
Yeah, I don't see a reason for the Angels to bring him back so I don't have an issue moving him if it helps you win a title this year.
Hunter Goodman
10:03
Thoughts ROS and beyond? Seems like he’ll get consistent run at 1B
Justin Mason
10:04
He is a power only guy that has an atrocious hit tool. I would not roster him outside of NL Only
Big J
10:04
If you need volume, would you roll with Brandon Williamson 2x start of @SFG,CHC or does the single start of C.Sanchez vs LAA outweigh the risk?
Justin Mason
10:04
If you need wins and strikeouts, I think I go Williamson.

This seems crazy to ask, but at 14/38 now after struggling to open the season….can we have a 20/50 CJ Abrams in ‘24 or ‘25. He will be surprisingly close EOS!
Justin Mason
10:05
I think we can! I have been a big fan of his for a long time and he has even surpassed what I thought he would do this year. I don't know if 20 home runs happens, but the 50 SBs with mid-teens homers is definitely in play.

Hey Justin - where would Y. Yamamoto rank as far as prospects if he were eligble? Top 10? 20?
Justin Mason
10:06
I think he is just outside the top 20 for me, but I could see him squeezing in there. So hard to know how guys are going to translate especially right away.

Paxton or Bryce Miller going into playoffs? Schedule is a little rough on Miller
Justin Mason
10:06
PAxton but it is close.
Kyle Harrison
10:06
Will the Giants let him go deep in games or will he be stuck with 3-4 inning outings during bullpen games?
Justin Mason
10:06
They will not.
Little by Littel
10:07
I know you were never as high on Littel as Paul. Is he even a team streamer in a deep league or just a cut? I'm running into a starts limit.
Justin Mason
10:07
Team streamer. I think there is just so little available in deeper leagues, he is a usable arm.
Wes
10:07
Is Riley Greene a cut in 12 teams? The past couple weeks have been rough.
Justin Mason
10:08
Yeah, I don't mind moving on from him. The ceiling is just not that high with so little time in the season.
v2micca
10:08
Hearing more positive buzz regarding Wrights rehab starts.  Is he worth keeping an eye on for pitching depth down the stretch?
Justin Mason
10:08
Absolutely. With the lack of options on the wire, I don't mind stashing him. Just know that if there's a setback, we may not see him at all.
Slam the Door
10:08
Presley or Romano ROS in a saves only league?
Justin Mason
10:08
Romano
He's the DJ
10:08
Traded Paxton for DJL (to replace Luis Urias) in AL OBP league. Reasonable?
Justin Mason
10:08
I think you overpaid.
B'ryce Hammer
10:09
Bryce Harper finally back to demi god status?
Justin Mason
10:09
Yeah, I think he is a first round pick in a lot of leagues next year.
Scott
10:09
Is Yainer Diaz a ROS solution at C?
Justin Mason
10:09
I think so. Playing time is the only question, but I think houston will continue to get him in.
Cd
10:09
Which C you rather have right now: Salvy, Will Contreras, or Raleigh?
Justin Mason
10:09
Sal

Heim hit a grand slam Sunday but otherwise has looked baaaad since coming off the IL. For the playoffs, stick with Heim or jump to waiver-available Cs Garver, Alvarez, Sanchez, Langoliers, or even Henry Goodman? 12 team H2H/OBP redraft league -- thanks!
