Last keeper....Tork or J Jung?
Justin Mason
10:50
Jung
Dave

Does Davis Schneider have more value as a cheap keeper in a 20-team league or as a trade chip if the other owner can look past his miserable September?
Justin Mason
10:50
I don't think he does.

1st base is so thin.  Who are some mid to late players to target
Justin Mason
10:50
Abreu and Rizzo have been my favorite late targets.

If Jose Caballero starts as the rays SS, am I crazy to think his defense and speed keep him in the lineup everyday (somewhere) if he can maintain up 90+ wRC? Seems like a nico hoerner type production if he gets the abs
Justin Mason
10:51
I think that is a really nice comp. The average won't be as good but he is a nice cheap source of speed late.

Need to keep 1 in a points league. Bryce Miller, Bobby Miller, or Mitch Keller. (Keep forever, no cost)
Justin Mason

Bobby Miller

4 player keeper league.  12 teams head to head.  I just traded eury and harper for j-rod.  I wasn't keeping eury with current roster.  Tell me I'm not dumb
Justin Mason
10:52
When you are only keeping four, I understand that depending on your other keepers.

Colt Keith had a shoulder injury and there are rumors that his arm doesn't play at 3B any more. Tigers were playing him more at 2B at the end of last year.
Justin Mason
10:52
I hadn't heard that. That is really good to know. That is tough because he is too big for second.
John

How much would you buy yamamoto for
Justin Mason
10:53
I have to have more info about your league, but I am not as high on him this year as others because I need to see him pitch against MLB talent regularly. I think he has top 15 pitcher upside but I also think there is a downside initially that the ADP doesn't suggest.
Colton

I have a Henry Davis take; he's this generations version of Willson Contreras.
Justin Mason
10:54
I think Pittsburgh would be fine with that.
JoeG

As a Giant fan, thoughts on Kyle Harrison? Worth a bench spot in a 12 T Roto snake draft ?
Justin Mason
10:54
I don't think he has enough control of command to be 12 viable outside of streaming.
cool 1

What do you see from Buehler this year?
Justin Mason
10:55
I never bet on guys coming back from TJ. I would assume the Dodgers are very careful with him and that he could struggle with his control.
Garrett v Sanchez
10:55
Who ya got. B Garrett v C Sanchez. I lean Sanchez because of the team
Justin Mason
10:55
Garrett for me.
Turang v Rosario
10:55
Mentioned on the pod. Am I crazy for thinking Turang can easily steal 30-40 bases this season with consistent playtime and hopefully a 240ish average. His ceiling seems like a 2022 Berti season
Justin Mason
10:55
As long as he keeps that playing time I think he could do 30
Farhandrew Zaidman

I have to admit I wasn't familiar with Keith until the contract news came down, saw a photo of him and said to myself "there's no way a guy with this body shape can play 2B...right?" Glad my off the cuff assessment wasn't way off.
Justin Mason
10:55
Yeah, if he can't play third because of injury, I am actually really worried about him.
Dodgers Blue
10:56
Not arguing the case at all - I'm sure you love them both almost equally like I do - but curious why you like Grayson just a bit more than Bobby Miller.
Justin Mason
10:56
I think they are both fantastic, but the park for me helps Grayson so much. It is really close though
Ed

In 5x5 12 teamer, which of these catchers would you keep: $4 O'Hoppe, $4 Heim, or the (relative) safety of $17 Adley
Justin Mason
10:56
Heim
Jesus Sanchez
10:56
How do you see the Marlins outfield shake out? I have been buying many late round stocks into a Jesus Sanchez breakout as it seems an overpaid Avi Garcia is the only guy standing in his way from getting everyday ABs against righties
Justin Mason
10:57
Money talks and I think Avi plays because of that. Sanchez needs a new team tbh
Graph Phanatic

Thoughts on evaluating high-volume catchers in points leagues? With a very tight bench, someone like Adley or William Contreras is clearly more valuable than the surface-level points #s, but how much of a premium is appropriate?
Justin Mason
10:58
I recommend running your favorite projection through the auction calculator to answer that question. Points leagues are all so different. Let the math be your guide.

Been reading some nice things about Estuary Ruiz; More power, more playing time, perhaps over 70 steals. What do you think?
Justin Mason
11:00
Where is this "more power"? If he could be more of a gap hitter,, I think he could be really interesting but the problem is I worry the bat just gets knocked out of his hands too much. He made more contact in the zone last season which is good, but he doesn't walk much and he just doesn't hit with authority when he makes contact.
Ryan

Kimbrel is easily top 5 rp?  Assuming health.
Justin Mason
11:00
No
