Congrats! Garrett is who I would go with.

Tim

Thoughts on Tanner Houck? The stats since the return from injury have been poor and the secondary numbers suggest a big step back overall this yeat

Justin Mason

10:20

I think he should be a power reliever.

Paddy

10:21

In dynasty, any current set up men who could be closing in April?

Justin Mason

10:21

Scott Barlow, Dany Jimenez, Graterol, Hunter Harvey

Where does Bradish and Grayson fall on the list of pitchers for 2024. Could they be top 15?

Justin Mason

10:22

I don't think they are top 15, but top 30 seems right

10:22

the reds choosing to not play matt mclain every day hitting 2nd or 3rd would be the most ridiculous move ever and im shocked you would even suggest this possibility.

Justin Mason

10:23

I don't think that happens, but there is also a massive logjam if and when everyone is healthy. Are they not going to play India and Steer? Someone has to be moved. What if it is McLain and he ends up in a much worse park? I just want to see what happens before I invest at the high price.

Christina

10:23

Thank you for the reply, fwiw, the league is 14 teams with 30 man rosters

Justin Mason

10:24

I think that is deep enough of a league where I am not overly worried about your outfielders.

10:24

Pick 2 for this week: Woo @ LAA, Pepiot @ SD, Garrett vs MIL, Ryu 2x start TEX,BOS Littel @MIN,@BAL

Justin Mason

10:24

Woo and Garrett

do either C Keith or C Mayo debut this year

Justin Mason

10:24

Maybe Keith but probably not.

10:24

Is Tanner Scott for real/of interest for next year?

Justin Mason

10:25

I think he is. He has been great and has shown flashes in the past. I am hoping he is a cheaper option than a lot of the elite guys.

Gross Nationals Product

10:25

CJ Abrams or E. Tovar for next season?

Justin Mason

10:25

Abrams and not close.

Stringer Bell

10:26

Any sneaky streams for a QS league this week? Trying to make the finals!

Justin Mason

10:28

Kyle Wright? Brandon Williamson?

BaltimOre's

10:28

Wins haven't been coming easy lately and I know you shouldn't chase them. At this point in the season, is it worth rolling out 6 RPers to preserve ratios? I should keep my place in Ks and Wins for the remainder of the season. Could make up ground in SVHolds with this strategy. Will I see much movement in ERA/WHIP?

Justin Mason

10:29

I am literally doing this in my two most important leagues. If you can gain (or lose) more points in WHIP and ERA than wins and K's, then roll out elite relievers. Maybe you get lucky with K's and Wins too. I did it recently and got two wins with Coulombe

10:29

How good can TORKELSON ultimately be?

Justin Mason

10:30

I think he has shown a lot of growth. I think the ceiling is really high still and I wish I hadn't sold low on him in a dynasty league.

Tim

10:30

Thank you for doing these! can we still think of Robert Suarez being a closing option next year? Or is he what he is, a set up guy who just shows flashes of 9th inning potential?

Justin Mason

10:31

I think he could be the guy but managers like the guys with "experience" so I lean Barlow if they let Hader walk. They could bring Hader back or someone else in too

Guest

10:31

Greene @ Mets, Skubal @ LAA, Kirby vs LAD, or Ragans vs HOU. Which two of those are you taking?

Justin Mason

10:32

Ragans and Skubal

Roi

10:33

Start Bradish v Tampa, Pepiot v SD, or Ragans v Hou?

Justin Mason

10:33

Bradish

JoeG

Ever since I received my Rotowear "In Play Runs" shirt my hitters haven't had too many In Play Runs.

Justin Mason

10:33

Oh no! maybe switch it up with your favorite Justin Mason shirt: https://rotowear.com/collections/the-justin-mason-collection

Guest

Hey Justin! Any hope for Christian Javier rest of season? H2H playoffs start this week in my 15 team league and he's been killing my ratios lately!!

Justin Mason

10:34

He has been brutal. We talked about him on the pod this morning. I am using him this week unless I have a really good alternative, but I understand cutting and moving on.

Why not Zoidberg

10:34

No question, just appreciating Royce Lewis. He's been nuts the last few weeks and might be my best pickup on the year

Justin Mason

10:34

Unreal. He will be so expensive next year.

Why not Zoidberg

10:34

If I'm targeting SB/AVG next week, is Mauricio a good bet or should I look more towards Willi Castro or A. Gimenez?
