Probably not, but I think he can be a usable starter.

I see word coming out that the Cubs are bringing up Pete Crow-Armstrong; he's high in the Fangraphs ranks, are you a fan? He seems like he has healthy Harrison Bader upside
Justin Mason
10:36
I think he has better upside than that, but his calling card is defense for sure. Just depends on what the contact rate looks like in the Majors.
Acuna Ma-taters!

Can he hit 40?
Justin Mason
10:36
He can

Just a hiccup for Lance Lynn last time out, or sign of things to come? Are you starting him in a 15 team H2H playoff format this week?
Justin Mason
10:37
I would not start him in a H2H
Cease/Nola
10:37
What in the world has happened to us? Did we just forget how to pitch?
Justin Mason
10:37
I think Cease did. I am less worried about Nola, but we did talk about him on the pod today and Paul is more worried on Nola than I am.

Hi Justin - First time caller, but follower through the year.  In first place in AL only standard league.  Detmers or Crawford for this week (weekly changes),
Justin Mason
10:38
Lean crawford because of the two starts
Patrick

Is there anything inspiring from Vlad this year that you see a big rebound in 2024 onwards?
Justin Mason
10:39
Yeah, underlying numbers seem to say he should rebound next season. I am buying back next season.
Andrew

How would you value and compare Spencer Torkelson and Tristan Casas for the future in a 5x5 $260 AL only keeper league?
Justin Mason
10:40
I think they are very similar with Tork being a bit above. I will have projections for 1B done in the next month and I will have a better Idea of where I stand then.

I have no more questions for this year. But I just want to pass the word along that all the Fangraphs writers absolutely KILLED it this season.
Justin Mason
10:40
Thank you!

Is Cease worth a start vs KC today?
Justin Mason
10:40
If you can afford to have your ratios torched.

H2H playoffs 6x6 with OBP and Hits as categories.   Do I roll with Ruiz, Elias Diaz or Yainer Diaz at C this week?
Justin Mason
10:41
Elias at home in Colorado
Bob
10:41
Is Chris Sale cooked?
Justin Mason
10:41
I don't think he is cooked, but just not elite anymore.
Hank
10:41
Any caution with Burnes this week? Said he should be good to go for Friday but not sure if that means he'll be 100%?
Justin Mason
10:41
I think he will be fine. No worries.
Michael W

Who would you rather have in 5x5 dynasty league: K Harrison or Mason Miller? Kirillof or Kelenic or T O’Neill?
Justin Mason
10:43
Really interesting question. I lean Miller and O'Neill. The pitching side depends a lot on depth of league though. The deeper the league the more I lean to Harrison because the replacement level when Miller gets hurt will be rougher, but his upside is so good that I tend to go that way.
Wicks for W?
10:43
Chasing wins but hard to lose ground in ERA/WHIP — dumb to waste some of my dwindling innings remaining starting Jordan Wicks in coors?
Justin Mason
10:43
I don't think he will get crushed so I understand it. I am using him in weekly leagues.
Gameface
10:43
hi Justin, Bello or Megill this week? Thank you.
Justin Mason
10:44
Bello
I am out of questions...
Michael W
10:45
Besides this site. Where else do you go for info?
Justin Mason
10:45
I spend a lot of time on Baseball Savant and I have been diving more into what Pitcher List has added.
Al
10:46
Who do you think will land Yamamoto?
Justin Mason
10:46
A west coast team with money that needs pitching. SF or LAD
Guest

Will Ohtani DH this week?
Justin Mason
10:46
I think he will. If they were shutting him down, I think they would have done it already
Guest
10:46
in need of a 3B for 15 team H2H playoffs. Picked up Lemehieu last week and he was just "meh". Would you rather have J.D Davis this week?
Justin Mason
10:47
Give me Davis in Colorado. Check your wire for Jung too. He could be back this week
