Tim

I am in 1B purgatory in a deep league… Any sleepers on your radar?

Justin Mason

10:31

Wade, Bauers, Votto, Schanuel, Tellez and reaaaaal deep Jon Singleton

Anselm

Hi -- I'm in a 5x5 obp roto 12-teamer -- we can keep 3 players -- with a $260 auction budget -- I have Seager (29) and Cole (39) as possibles -- but can also choose from Mike King, Isaac Paredes, Evan Carter, TJ Friedl, and/or Kyle Bradish at three bucks apiece. What do you think? Thanks!

Justin Mason

10:32

I definitely want a $3 Bradish. If I am willing to drop one of the studs, I would take a $3 Carter as well.

Jesse

10:33

Got a very specific one for me: would you either lock Tork in at a 17 for 3 years, then keep Oneil as a 12, then 10 (potentially), then 8 or reverse it and lock Oneil in as a 12 with the two round penalties for Tork. If "locked in," they must be kept each year. The guy who isn't locked in can be thrown back in the pool next year if I want. Does Schwarber for one more year as a 5 beat out either of those guys (OBP league)?

Justin Mason

10:34

So, I am not a fan of locking in a guy long term in those type of keeper leagues unless I am keeping a really cheap stud because I am always trying to extract as much value as possible. So, I would go for Schwarber.

Big Joey

10:34

Do you think Juan Soto will ever put up a full season of what he did in 2020?

Justin Mason

10:34

Yes, I think it happens at some point.

BTinVT

10:34

Better pitcher Wheeler or Snell?

Justin Mason

10:34

Wheeler

Sid Bream Sliding

10:34

At the risk of spiking your BP, I will ask: Are you in or out on Glasnow this year? What's your auction pricepoint?

Justin Mason

10:35

I am out, The price is going to be insane now that he is on the Dodgers.

Tim

10:35

True or False: If Hunter Brown and Hunter Greene cut down their HR rates they are top 20 SPs?

Justin Mason

10:35

Greene could be but that is a huge if for Greene.

Randy Choate

10:35

Thoughts on Noelvi Marte first overall?

Justin Mason

10:35

Wait, what?!

Big Joey

10:35

What's more likely? Yordan 60 HR or Judge 70 HR?

Justin Mason

10:35

Yordan

Jake

10:36

Zech Neto looked awesome before his injuries. Who has the better long term upside Neto or McClain?

Justin Mason

10:36

McLain, but I like Neto a lot at his price.

RAGBRAI

10:36

I have B Reynolds at $25 in a NL only. Is that too much with the drop in SBs?

Justin Mason

10:36

I think that is close to being right. Might throw him back and be willing to just pay close to that in the auction.

Fred

10:37

Hey Justin, i play in a 8 team AL only $260 cap. We keep 6 players for 3 years max. My keepers as of now are $20 JRod, $15Tucker, $20 L Robert, $10 Tork, $20 Altuve, $6 Skubal. I've been offered a trade to aquire $21 B Witt. If i did the trade my keepers would turn into $20 JRod, $17 Tucker, $21 Witt, $21 Torres, $7 Eflin, $6 Skubal. Thoughts?

Justin Mason

10:37

I would do that for sure.

Michael

10:38

Off-position here, but how do you feel about Jake Burger vs Nolan Gorman over the next few years? 12-tm H2H-cats dynasty fwiw.

Justin Mason

10:38

I think they are very similar players with similar floors. Give me the guy that plays in the Cardinals offense over the one that plays in the Marlins one.

Quadrangular

10:38

Hey Justin. Which pitcher keepers do you like for 2024: Glasnow $9, Bobby Miller $5, Eury Perez $5, Eflin $5, Bibee $5, Ragans $5

Justin Mason

10:39

I like all of them at those prices

Bucky

10:39

Would you keep Michael Harris II for one year @ $8 or Ragans for $4 and an option for $8 in 2025? I'm already keeping Carroll and Seager, Bobby Miller and Strider

Justin Mason

10:39

Harris

10:39

Hi Justin! Points leagues - do any of the following currently-going-late pitchers have a chance to pop up into the top 40 this year? Yusei Kikuchi, Taj Bradley, JP Sears, Jon Gray, Kutter Crawford, Kyle Harrison, Keaton Winn. Thanks!

Justin Mason

10:40

I guess Bradley and Harrison might but I wouldn't bet on anyone on that list tbh

tumtum

10:40

Oscar Colas. Do you think he can break out if given at least 300 PA?

Justin Mason

10:41

He really needs to improve against left handed pitching if he wants to stay in the Majors. On the plus side, he crushes the ball and I think he will get the opportunity to play unless he looks awful in spring.

Todd

10:42

If you needed pitching help in a league would you trade Tatis to get Soto/Wheeler or Soto/L Webb?

Justin Mason

10:42

Soto/Wheeler I would

10:42

Is TB going to run out R. Pinto everyday at catcher? If so, does he have any fantasy value?

Justin Mason

10:43

Looks like they might. I don't see a ton of value here outside of the deepest of leagues.
