Trying to stash cheap starters for 2024 NL-only roto keeper, loaded up on Emmet Sheehan, Gavin Stone, Luis Ortiz, Andre Jackson, Ryne Nelson, Joan Adon, Tylor Megill, Connor Phillips. Not a great group, I know. Any you like? Who would be your first drops?
Justin Mason
10:29
I like both Dodgers guys and Ortiz. Nelson has good stuff, but I think he is a reliever long term. The others are meh.
10:30
I am through all the questions. fire more at me!

In what league contexts are you considering running out Olson vs LAD this week?
Justin Mason
10:30
Probably just 15-teamers unless I can withstand a drubbing.
Guest

Any chance Tyler Black or Jared Jones get called up?
Justin Mason
10:31
I think most teams have called up the guys that they are going to at this point.
David
10:31
Ok - one more - Quantrill or Sanchez this week?
Justin Mason
10:31
Quantrill
John

H2h points. Lugo at Col or GRod at Cleveland?

Colin Holderman, Andrew Nardi, or Carmen Mlodzinski for value next year?
Justin Mason
10:32
I think I lean Holderman here.

I don't think I've ever actively avoided a lineup the way I have Atlanta's the second half of the season. Have you ever seen anything like what they've been able to do before?
Justin Mason
10:32
They have been unreal. I have avoided them the entire second half as well except with studs. They are just too good top to bottom.

C Schmidt or ed Cabrera H to H who you roll.with this week
Justin Mason
10:33
Schmidt.

going into championship week, have to start 2 of K Marte (5 games), S Steer (6 games), or Nootbaar (7 games).  Gut says Marte and Steer?
Justin Mason
10:34
I think I lean Steer and Nootbaar here. Marte only has five games and two of them are versus Webb and Cobb
KC Pain
10:34
Do you think Josh Naylor is for real or on a hot streak of a season?  Prime Jose Abreu a decent comp?
Justin Mason
10:36
At first I was going to say you were crazy for that comp, but now that I look at it, it isn't that bad. I think obviously Naylor has more speed and Abreu more power, but the gains against lefties this year for Naylor has been really impressive. I think it is pretty legit.

Thanks for a great season of insights Jason. 10 team 5x5 Roto. Trying to maintain RBI, BA, R. The gleam seems to be fading from Davis Schneider. Drop for Mauricio or Tovar?
Justin Mason
10:37
Yeah, grab Mauricio
David

Gunnar Henderson will be a top __ player next year
Justin Mason
10:40
I think he is likely 50-75 player. Could be higher but I still have questions against left handed pitching.
NZ
10:40
Btw, thank you Justin! Hopefully my only brain cramp during the last two weeks of the season, lol.
Justin Mason
10:41
Lol. Good luck rest of the way!

Thanks for answering our questions.  However, most of your answers and those of other pundits who use this Q&A format are based on top-of-the-head responses.  Wouldn't it make sense to answer a few questions once a week with carefully considered, evidence-based answers?  However, I will ask a question expecting a top-of-the-head answer: What stats do you expect COL's Brendan Rodgers to produce next year roughly?
Justin Mason
10:44
That is what this type of format of questioning answers asks for. People coming to ask questions they want immediate answers for. Articles is where we answer the more in-depth questions. As far as Rodgers goes, I think I will likely have him as a .260 ish hitter with 15-20 home runs depending on how many plate appearances I give him. He has yet to get to 140 games played in the Majors so I am likely to give him about 130 games at most.

Tied for wins, gonna lose Ks. ERA and WHIP us very close. Not any great streaming options, should I go for some of the top relievers? Have good starters with good starts, can ride that partnership. Thinking maybe brash/ armstrong, maybe payamps. As opposed to streaming someone like braxton garrett. Thanks
Justin Mason
10:46
I like the thought process, though I do like Garrett as a guy to use this week. In my Main Event and Auction Championship, I have been using Coulombe, Stephenson, and Megill instead of traditional starters to protect my ratios and sneak a few wins and saves.

Thank you!
Justin Mason

Thank you for reading and listening to me!

Thanks for taking the time to do a chat. AL-Only 6x6 (QS the extra pitching category) - roll the dice with John Means (@Hou @Cle) over one of these single start guys - Ryu (@TB), Maeda (@Cin), Gavin Williams (v Balt)?
Justin Mason
10:47
I think I would pass on Means for Ryu or Williams. Lean Ryu
Enlightening Round
10:47
any suggestions at all for starting pitching dart throws, just lost Bibee, lost Scherzer last week, Fried is getting extra days, I'm dragging my team to the finish line.  Boyle worth a shot?
Justin Mason
10:48
Might want to just go the reliever route over a guy like Boyle. Unless Gipson-Long or Butto are available, I think I just roll with a high impact middle reliever.
Guest

How do you feel about Ragans redux vs Houston? Thank you!
Justin Mason
10:49
I think he should be fine. Hopefully the Royals don't roll him out for the seventh again

Looks like I'm gonna win my 12 team roto, but trying to hold on to avg. Are you dropping HKim, he's been very slumpy and now it sounds like he might hae an abdominal injury. Replace with Maruicio? Or I can slot in Jazz and add an OF who's running hot like Olivares or Tyrone Taylor?
