Chat will begin at the top of the hour as long as we have enough questions. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, mastodon, threads, post, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!

Will start in a minute. Pod with Paul ran a little long. Need more questions!
Kyle

Paul is taking a long time with his SP rankings - perhaps if you make fun of him for it on the S&B podcast he will hurry up. Thanks for your service.
Justin Mason
10:03
He is working on them and they are massive! They should be coming early JAnuary

OttoNeu H2H. $11 Jordan Walker for $28 Corbin Burnes. I am flustered. I REALLY prefer not to trade Jordan. My SP roster is adequate. I could fill Jordan OF spot with meh. Your opinion, pls.
Justin Mason
10:03
I think I lean Burnes if you are in win now mode.
Kyle

When are you going to start live drafting from your garage this year?
Justin Mason
10:04
It is slow draft season right now, but I want to do an auction that I will stream in January

Do the Dodgers let Evan Phillips run with the closing job this year or keep it a bit of a committee?
Justin Mason
10:04
I wonder if they are the ones that land Hader. Seems like he would fit in nice on the super team they are building

Which Nat do you see making a leap in 2024, Gore or Gray?
Justin Mason
10:04
Gore for me.
Smelly Socks
10:04
Do you think Ashcraft can still tap into more upside in 2024 or we should just accept that he's not very good?
Justin Mason
10:05
I think he can but that park will always be a problem.
Jamie
10:05
Keeper league. All super cheap… which two you holding?:  Casas, J holiday, j chourio. O’Neill Cruz, Grayson Rodriquez?
Justin Mason
10:05
Wow that is tough. I think I go Grayson and Holliday but Chourio is super tempting over the pitcher
Lotar

What does Marcus Semien have to do to get more love in the fantasy community? Great lineup context, consistent performance, and premium position.  Am I taking crazy pills?  His ADP in NFBC in December is 28, behind guys like Lindor, Robert Jr, and Elly De La Cruz.  Make it make sense, Justin.
Justin Mason
10:06
I think people have a hard time continuing to project him for 700 plate appearances which would obviously hurt him since he is a super accumulator. I am going to continue to project him for that until we see him fail but I am with you for sure
Vic
10:07
Will Machado be under drafted this year? Meaning a round or two later than he should go?
Justin Mason
10:07
There are so many questions about his health that I don't think he is being underdrafted right now. If we get some good health reports in spring he will rise for sure
Vic
10:08
Who might be this year's Matt McClain? Someone is known, but doesn't get drafted in a 525 player draft, but is a 4th or 5th round pick the following year.
Justin Mason
10:09
Maybe one of the top tier prospects that come up earlier than expected. James Wood? Dylan Crews? Jace Jung?
DC
10:09
Any reason for 2024 optimism on Vladdy Jr? (other than the fact it can't get much worse)
Justin Mason
10:11
Close to 700 plate appearances with a better average if he gets some better BABIP luck. I understand why people are down on him but I think 2023 was the floor not the new normal for Vladdy
Kyle
10:11
Who is worth more WAR by the end of the 2024 season - Luis Severino or Decoy, Ohtani's dog?
laughing 1
Justin Mason
10:12
I think Severino is a sneaky buy low. Great park change and he has been a top 25 pitcher before. We will know pretty quickly if he is bad again, so I would take him at the back end of my pitching staff.
Decoy is an 80-Grade name though
Martin
10:12
Bigger fantasy impact on their new team, Jarred Kelenic or Tyler O'Neill?
Justin Mason
10:12
O'Neill. I think he is playing everyday
Kate
10:13
Anthony Rizzo was obviously awful last year, but I recall hearing someone state that his downturn last year corresponded almost exactly with when he got that concussion (which the Yankees for some reason let him play through).  Assuming health (a big if when it comes to concussions), is this an easy bounceback?
Justin Mason
10:13
If healthy, I think he is. However, concussions are really tricky and I need to see him in spring training before I can buy in.
Vic
10:13
Back in 2021, players like Witt Jr and J-Rod were drafted in the 18th round in my league. Is this about where Wyatt Langford should go in 2024?
Justin Mason
10:14
Yeah, that seems about right. At that price, I am definitely in too. I think he is a stuf

Twins starting rotation is currently constructed with fly ball prone right-handers.  Worth looking at signing a lefty GB type pitcher that won't cost much and may be willing to sign on a one-year deal (thinking Martin Perez, Alex Wood, Hyun Jin Ryu....).
Justin Mason
10:14
Alex Wood would be a great fit for them. Ryu is probably more their speed though
Kyle
10:14
Are you a believer in Nolan Jones this year? Anticipate drafting him at all? He ended with such a great finish but 30% K rate is very high.
Justin Mason
10:15
I can't imagine I take him this year at his price. I get why people are but a guy with awful plate skills going at pick 55 seems just too risky
seth
10:15
Can Paredes keep sneaking HRs down the line, or does that ugly EV sneak up on him?
Justin Mason
10:16
I think it probably catches up to him at least a little bit, but I don't think he regresses all the way. He still is going to play every day and he is really good at pulling at home.
