I'm surprised I'm not hearing more about Michael Taylor.  Royals and Twins seem like they'd be good fits - two places he's had some recent luck.  Maybe Padres as a replacement for Grisham - although they are already righty-heavy. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
10:18
I think he will definitely find a job somewhere. Need some of the bigger names to land so he can find the best possible fit. Twins make a lot of sense. Padres as well. Maybe even the Cubs?

How do you value Mets 3B candidates at this point? Is either Baty or Vientos any kind of sleeper since they both should get some play with Mauricio no longer an option?
Justin Mason
10:19
I love Baty and hope the Mets will give him a shot. Former top prospect that is a bit underrated considering there is a clear path for time at 3B. Vientos is an all or nothing power guy that really isn't super interesting to me

What is your opinion on Jordan Westburg?  Will he be a long-term staple at 2B in the Orioles loaded lineup?  He's put up some big numbers in the minors.....
Justin Mason
10:20
I think Westburg profiles more as an accumulator. The problem is the Orioles have a ton of bats and I don't know if Westburg will get the kind of playing time he needs to produce fantasy relevant numbers. Would love to see him get traded somewhere where he can play everyday.

True or False?  Three years from now we will (still?) regard Matt McLain as the best player in the Red's current youth movement......
Justin Mason
10:20
False
10:21
Still very good, but not the best if Elly or CES can be what I think they can.

FG projections both think Vlad Jr. will have a wRC+ of 144, with 4+ WAR- both are numbers he's only reached once in 5 years. I have no comment about that, I'm just fascinated by it.
Justin Mason
10:22
Projections have always loved him. I do too, so I kind of get it.
Houzer

Tatis vs Soto vs Yordan. Are they close enough in ranks that it’s just personal choice?
Justin Mason
10:22
I think it is personal choice. I think Tatis, Soto, Yordan is my personal order
I can make the argument for any of them in any order though
Houzer
10:23
Who says no - Tigers send Matt Manning to the Padres for Jake Cronenworth and Merrill Kelly
Justin Mason
10:23
The Diamondbacks may not want the Padres trading their SP to the Tigers.

Help with the question of our generation (or, pick 1.1 in a Deep dynasty league): Crews, Langford, or Skenes?
Justin Mason
10:24
Really close but I think it is Langford
Lotar

Every year there are post-hype guys that the community discards because they didn't pop as rookies, but their pedigree shines through.  Last year, Casas, Torkelson and CJ Abrams were the forgotten toys that helped win leagues.  Any spotlight to shine on some busted rookie prospects that will have consistent playing time in their sophmore season?
Justin Mason
10:26
MAnzardo, Curtis  MEad, Tovar, Hunter Brown, Pfaadt, Cowser
Houzer

Projections on Michael Harris Jr seem to pretty favorable at around a 25/25 season despite prob hitting in the bottom of the lineup. Do you favor him over Bichette in a vacuum?
Justin Mason
10:26
I prefer Bichette, but it is close to me.
Houzer
10:27
Okay .. Jackson Merril I meant!
Justin Mason
10:27
Problem with that deal is Jackson Merrill moving and the Tigers probably don't want Cronenworth's contract
RAGBRAI

India? Will he stay or will he go?
Justin Mason
10:28
They've said he is going to stay. I wish theyd move him though
RAGBRAI

Are the Brewers going to hold on to their top players and make one more run? Decisions can always be made at the trade deadline. Fans would understand if they are out it but they need to avoid another Hader fiasco.
Justin Mason
10:28
I think they will tear it down at some point.
RAGBRAI
10:28
Who might get traded that no one is talking about right now?
Justin Mason
10:29
I said Adames on the pod today.
Dodgers Blue

How likely is it that the Marlins do indeed deal one of their young pitchers.  I've gotta believe Eury and Luzardo are untouchable right now.  If so, who goes and what can they expect to get back?
Justin Mason
10:29
I don't think they will. They have been unwilling to do so and now have less depth than they have in years.
Dodgers Blue
10:29
Which of the young Cleveland starters are you willing to gamble a littler earlier on?  (ERA, WHIP, Ks all matter).
Justin Mason
10:29
Bibee is my dude. Love Williams as well, but I think Bibee is the more polished pitcher.
Orioles

What happens to Westberg if Holliday opens in Baltimore?
Justin Mason
10:30
Utility guy more than likely or in a time share

Would you rather Rich Hill or Rich Fitts ?
Justin Mason
10:30
Hill!

Will you be hosting Yamamoto for a meeting this winter along with everyone else?
Justin Mason
10:31
I would love to. I know some great sushi restaurants in SF if he'd like to join me. We could invite Kikuchi too
