Yeah, I don't mind that.

Why do people think my brother Ethan is going to be so good?  It's not like he dominated low A... even I did that before I flamed out and fooled the industry
Justin Mason
10:27
He's 17 and knocking on the door of the Majors. He is already a very good catcher behind the dish which is what usually holds guys up.

How quickly for Skenes & Crews to arrive on the MLB scene?
Justin Mason
10:28
I think Skenes is up early. Crews could be up in the summer.

Pick 2 - P.Lopez, Glasnow, Ragans, & Duran - all comparable in price - 5 RP - 5 SP - 10-team league - thx
Justin Mason
10:28
Lopez and Galsnow

What are we expecting from Pasquantino this year?  There's a pretty big gap in value between "has a full year of hitting like 2022" and "gets some extra rest while hitting like 2023"
Justin Mason

I am really high on Vinnie P. Obviously health is a concern, but he seems healthy right now. I think a 25-30 homer season with a .275 average could be coming.

Is ONeill Cruz flying somewhat under the radar coming off injury and with all the hype of Elly?
Justin Mason
10:29
I don't think he is flying under the radar. Some people love the upside and others are scared of the low floor.
Niles

Prefer Cristopher Sanchez or Christian Javier this season?
Justin Mason

Javier

Justin, Very excited to be here. Long time listener and first time caller. When you are at the end of a season, how do you handle having a player in one league where you need to win but needing them to do poorly in another league so you win there too? Do you start to play favorites with teams or leagues?
Justin Mason
10:30
You have to compartmentalize. Don't think about the fact that you have him in another league. Look at every team individually and make your best moves.

Nick Castellanos or Jorge Soler in 10 team 5x5 mixed league with OBP instead of AVG?

Castellanos

Hi Justin, thanks for chatting. I love using an auction calculator for my salary cap league with keepers, but wondering if you have any insight into why various sites' calculators might differ, even when player's projections are relatively the same. For example, here on FG, Jose Ramirez is at $29.40 using my league's settings, but BP's The AX has him at $43.40. Steamer actually has a better projection for him, too! Which one should I trust?
Justin Mason
10:32
So every calculator is weighted a bit different. I use Tanner Bell's Smart Fantasy Baseball's software because you can actually adjust it based on your league's history which I think it really beneficial.

Do you ever punt saves in H2H leagues?
Justin Mason

All the time.

In my AL-only Scoresheet league, I'm down to my final cut.  Should I keep McCormick or Taylor Ward?
Justin Mason
10:32
McCormick

12 team points league. Need a 5th keeper, currently keeping Freeman, Yordan, Seager, Wheeler. Last keeper: Logan Webb or Bregman?
Justin Mason
10:33
Webb
Rendon
10:33
I read about Rendon's comments on baseball as a job and not being a top priority today.   He has said this before, in previous years.  Why is it getting run now?
Justin Mason
10:35
I don't know. Honestly, there are a lot of guys that feel this way and I don't blame them. Of course many of us would love to play baseball for millions of dollars but at the same time, this is their jobs and not every loves what the do for a living.
Birdland

What happened to Patrick Sandoval last year?  Was a hidden gem in 2022, then walks and strikeouts both went the wrong way.  I don't see obvious red flags in velocity, pitch mix, babip, GB%...
Justin Mason
10:36
I wonder if there was an injury that he didn't discuss. He has had back issues before that threw off his mechanics and when that happens you can really struggle with control

Joined a 10-team Yahoo keeper league, 6x6 with QS and OPS. My team is in pretty bad shape, but I have Chourio and Grayson Rodriguez as my crown jewels. Was offered Gausman, Altuve and Jett Williams for Grayson by one person, then Andrew Painter, Kyle Harrison and the No. 6 overall pick in our draft. We get 7 MLB hitters keepers, 5 MLB pitchers keepers and 7 prospects keepers. The guy I took over for only had Chourio and Mervis as prospects, so I'm in pretty bad shape there. Does one trade offer seem obvious?
Justin Mason
10:36
I am not doing either of those deals. In a 10-team league, keep the studs/future studs and build through the wire.

Duran vs. Hader H2H 12-teamer
Justin Mason

Hader
Keep Quandary
10:37
Hey Justin, I'm in a 10-tm points league (QSs are extra).  I'm seriously debating keeping Triston McKenzie as 13th rounder.  Is that dumb?
Justin Mason
10:37
I wouldn't do that

10 Team dynasty league. How would you rate these pitchers: Keller, G Williams, Pfaadt, Taj, Pepiot
Justin Mason

Keller, Williams, Pfaddt, Pepiot, Taj
