With Lee Jung Hoo landing in SF,  can the SBs and (hopefully) BABIP drive him to be a premium OF?
Justin Mason
10:32
I worry how quickly he can adjust to MLB. I am excited to have him in SF, but Kim really struggled in that first year and I wouldn't be surprised if Lee does too.

In the offseason, how do you approach wanting to make a move for a guy you know will get hype (e.g., Pepiot), but not seeming overly eager about it so that the price goes up?
Justin Mason
10:34
That's tough. Hard not to tip your hand after a big news item hits. Might ask about 3-4 guys at once. "Hey I am interested in a number of your pitchers like Montgomery, Berrios Pepiot, and Lynn. What would you be looking for in return?" and see what he prices Pepiot at in that convo.

Don’t be fooled: Dick Mountain sounds fun in theory but is not practical. There’s no beating Dick Fitts.

While the NLC might still be the worst division in MLB is is more competitive in ‘24 or at least is there more parity? As of today who would you pick to win it?
Justin Mason
10:35
Cardinals, I think

I saw that Yamamoto had second meetings with both NY teams, but didn't see any other teams mentioned. Did he not meet a second time with anyone else? The way the reporting was phrased seemed confusing.
Justin Mason
10:35
Hard to ever really know. Maybe the west coast teams aren't willing to go as high or maybe he wants to play in NY?
10:36
I am through all the questions, so send me more.
I may wrap up a little early especially if we don't get more questions

I have an open trade offer for Yordan Alvarez. I'm scared to pull the trigger because of his injury history. Can he get 600 PA?
Justin Mason
10:37
I tend to believe he is going to continue to be a guy that struggles to stay on the field. Arthritic knees and that body are not going to get better.
Chip

Is Springer cooked? He was bad last year.
Justin Mason
10:38
I don't think he is. The underlying numbers are fine
10:39
Just needs to stay healthy imo

Mets miss out on yamamoto. What do you do if your stearns?
Justin Mason
10:39
Tear it to the ground and rebuild. That division is too tough to compete with half a team
10:40
They won't but that is what I would do. Build something like Atlanta and Baltimore did

How is SD’s SPerd impacted by the loss of Soto, Grisham and TBD!
Justin Mason
10:40
SPerd?
Chip
10:40
Does Skenes start the year in the majors?
Justin Mason
10:40
No, but I think he is up early

I have Butto and Priester as $1 possible keepers. Do you see either in the starting rotation and are they worth a flyer?
Justin Mason
10:40
I don't think either is in the rotation to start the season TBH
