Are you concerned about Woo and Miller given Seattle’s crowded rotation?
Justin Mason
10:43
I am more worried about Woo because of his arm issues in the middle of the season last year. I think both can stick in the rotation if healthy.

Chase Silseth had a great stretch last season, really dominating with his splitter. Without the 6 man rotation, do you believe he is being undrafted?
Justin Mason
10:45
Jason and I talked about him on Sunday's pod if you want a more in depth discussion. Jason is more interested than me. I see underwhelming stuff and with poor command and control.

Your best guesses (we probably won't hold you to it) on where Snell and Bellinger sign? As a $16 Snell owner I am growing impatient, need answers!  Thanks for doing these, love the pod
Justin Mason
10:45
Snell to the Yankees. Bellinger back to the Cubs.

Hey Justin, im hurting for SP in a league where we keep 3 hitters and 3 SP.  I could trade away JRamirez to get a nice arm and replace JRam with Holliday....too early to think that highly of Holliday?   My other hitters are Tatis, JRod....pitching options are Eury, Ragans, Buehler, J Ryan
Justin Mason
10:46
I don't think it is too early to gamble on Holliday. I think he could break camp with the team or at least be up very early.

Justin! Won my 15tm mixed salary cap league last season. Sold off my best keepers to get it done. If you had to choose one, would you keep Jose Ramirez ($42) or Seiya Suzuki ($21)? Inflation hits most of the top guys pretty hard. Leaning Suzuki but curious what you think.
Justin Mason
10:46
I lean J-Ram because he is a stud.

Hey Justin, do you think Edouard Julien is worth a top 20 round keeper in a 12 team OPS roto league? Realistically I can only keep 2 of these 4 for my 2B/SS spot: Julien, Edman, Stott, Correa
Justin Mason
10:47
I would keep Stott and Edman here, but I like Julien more than most so I could see keeping him over Edman.
Eric

Is Andrew Vaughn pretty much who he is at this point or does the batted ball data point to another potential level?
Justin Mason
10:47
I think he is who he is for now. Obviously, growth isn't linear, but nothing in the profile points to a break out for me yet.

Not a question, just mourning the death of my 19-year keeper league. Lost too many people, too few of us know each other now, and I don't have the time and energy to run it that I did when I was 18.
Justin Mason
10:48
That's a bummer.

What is Willson Contreras trade value in dynasty leagues, if any? Catcher seems too deep in 12 teams for people to offer much
Justin Mason
10:49
Yeah, in a 12-team one catcher league there are too many guys to get much for a guy like Contreras, but I do think he is perpetually undervalued

Thoughts on a landing spot for CJ Cron next year?

Pick one for last keeper: Cristopher Sanchez or Ceddanne Rafaela (pls and thx)
Justin Mason

Sanchez

Civale struggled to keep runners from scoring with Rays but his K/9 spiked. What do you see him becoming with the Rays?
Justin Mason
10:49
I think he is kind of who he is at this point which has value in deeper formats

Can agents disclose the terms offered by other teams like an auction?
Justin Mason
10:50
I don't see why not.
Adenolith

I hear a lot about going into drafts with dollar values already calculated but I'm worried I'd get hamstringed if I stuck to them very close at all. Most everybody bids really hard on the top players and there's a guy in the league who waits until the mid/bottom - any competition there when the options get limited probably screws us both. I mostly do tiers and then bid on the guy going for the least in the tiers I intend to target. Sound strategy there, or any tips?
Justin Mason
10:51
I prefer to have set values heading in. I have an article going up on fantasy pros here in the next day or two that is a full auction primer. Obviously you should adjust to what your league tends to do, but the way to win auctions is to extract as much value as possible and that is often in the mid rounds in aggressive rooms.

Jeremy Pena busted last summer. Was this growing pains as a full time SS or a symptom of his limitations?
Justin Mason
10:53
I think it is a product of the profile. People always think that just because a guy is young there's always another level. I think the rookie season is a good indication of where the ceiling lies. I would probably project him to be in the middle of 2022 and 2023
10:54
Ok, speed round since I have a ton of questions and not much time.

Thoughts on Nolan Jones
Justin Mason

Overrated right now.

Pasqauntino's shoulder surgery return could either bust or sleep. What do you expect he produces and are you in on him this year?
Justin Mason
10:54
I am huge on Vinnie P this year. I think he could have a massive breakout.

Any tips for nominating players in a slow auction? Do you try to sneak in players before the market sets, nominate a bunch of players at the position you're targeting, etc.. In our setup, each team can nominate 8 at a time for a total of 64 concurrently.
Justin Mason

Please go read my primer coming out in the next day or two.

Kyle Finnegan or Hunter Harvey for 2024?
