Hey Justin, thanks for having these chats. What do you think is a reasonable return for Freddie Freeman in a keeper league? 12 team, keep 20, 5x5 OPS instead of AVG. Want to sell high now but don’t see any decent paths towards recovering that speed. Some weakness at middle infield and SP. Oneil Cruz + 1st pick (yamamoto)?
Justin Mason
10:37
Why are you selling on Freeman? I know he is older, but he has a skill set that should age well. I would want a haul for him if I moved him. A top 30 player and a top 25 prospect.

Does the Maeda signing bump Sawyer Gipson-Long back to AAA to start the year?  If so, that's kind of a bummer.  I think I'd rather see him get a rotation spot than than Manning or Mize at this point.
Justin Mason
10:38
I think this means SGL is starting the year in the minors. He will be up once Manning turns back into a pumpkin or one of their pitchers gets injured. In deep formats, I think you can stash him because it is a good profile.

Snapped up Royce Lewis, Junior Caminero, Evan Carter & Wyatt Langford in a DC with auto lineups. Rank them from most to least ABs this year, in your estimation. (also in my defense I paired them with a bunch of safe *boring* guys like Santander, Arraez, etc)
Justin Mason
10:39
Carter, Caminero, Lewis, Langford
Kate

Is Stanton cooked at this point?
Justin Mason
10:39
Yes in the sense of who he once was, but he can still hit bombs  when healthy.
Masyn
10:39
Does Winn have  a tovaresque rookie year? Solid but not great? Or does he crash?
Justin Mason
10:41
I love that comp for Masyn Winn. I think he plays every day and accumulates. There is a lot to like in the profile from a real life prospective, but he isn't a fantasy star. He is cheap so he is a deep league play.
Bobby
10:41
Do you buy the power surge we saw from Moreno in the postseason? He hit some massive shots but was only a .138 ISO in the season. Trying to decide if he's a keeper in a league that greatly rewards slugging
Justin Mason
10:42
I think he is another guy that is overrated from his prospect pedigree and the playoffs. I don't see him as a 20+ homer guy. More like a mid-to-low teens homer guy with a good average and some stolen bases.

Oh I forgot I have Taj Bradley too. So Skuball, Garrett, Bradley, Miller, Olsen, Manoah?
Justin Mason
10:42
Bradley behind Miller
Dodger
10:43
dodgers have to move one of their young pitchers right? If not 2? Who goes
Justin Mason
10:45
I don't know that they move them. Depth is key especially with Kershaw out and Urias gone. Not to mention we don't know what Buehler will look like once he returns and they currently have Yarbrough penciled into their rotation. If anything, they need to add pitching.
Pedro
10:45
Any cause for concern with Luis Castillo?  Barrel rate has doubled to 9.4%,  barrel rate has increased from 36.7% to 41.8%, and EV from 87 to 90 in last two years.  Thanks in advance
Justin Mason
10:45
I have zero concern with Castillo. He is a top 5-10 starter for me.
MK

Last keeper slot in a 12t H2H OBP league - CJ Abrams or Bobby Miller?  Have Cole, Riley, Carroll as others (along with Grayson and Francisco Alvarez in my minors (weird format).  Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:46
Miller but only because it is an OBP league and Abrams doesn't help there.
Ryan
10:46
Cole Ragans a top 25 SP for you next year?
Justin Mason
10:46
Not quite, but close
Chazz Jissom

MLB season win totals are out
Justin Mason
10:46
I'll take the under
Ezra
10:46
Do any of Jazz, Nootbaar, or R Greene end up as a true impact player?
Justin Mason
10:47
If Jazz can stay healthy he is. I don't know if I buy that. Nootbaar needs full time playing time so if the Cards trade someone, I am in for sure. Greene is a fine player but not a difference maker.
Kate
10:47
So your boy Heaney finally stays healthy this year and then he completely loses his breaking ball.  What's your outlook for him going into 2024?  I know you're not quitting him.
Justin Mason
10:48
I quit him last year and I don't think I am jumping back in.
Nick
10:48
Piggybacking on my last question, how far apart are Eury and Bobby Miller for you?
Justin Mason
10:48
They are super close to each other. I honestly will be flipping them back and forth for sure.
Chazz Jissom
10:48
Season win totals are out. People are jumping on the Cardinals to win division and go over 86 wins. I don't see it. What say you?
Justin Mason
10:49
I think that could happen but I want to see if the rest of the division make moves before that. all those teams are on the cusp of greatness or disaster depending on what they do.
Keith
10:49
Who wins this deal in a deep Dynasty league? Yordan Alvarez for Josh Jung and #3 pick in FYPD?
Justin Mason
10:49
Yordan
Paul
10:49
Chances of Pete Alonso signing an extension?
Justin Mason
10:49
25%
Kate

Waldichuk is going REALLY late in drafts right now, but I'm seeing some interesting building blocks here with two good secondaries, a fastball that was hyped coming up, an org that doesn't really have any reason to not give him a bunch of chances, and a really good home park (for this year at least).  Is this just a matter of him developing the command a bit?
Justin Mason
10:50
I think he could be interesting in really deep leagues, but health and the organization are a problem. I may win more games than the A's this year.

I have Jhoan Duran $16 in a 12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league. Also have Fairbanks at $6. Draft day inflation runs around 30%. Top SPs always in demand. Would you trade Duran for $20 Framber or $20 Pablo Lopez?
Justin Mason
10:52
Depends on what the closer pool at the draft looks like it might be. On the surface, I would trade him for Pablo, but if there aren't going to be any other closers in the auction, then I may just stick with Duran.
