Hey Justin! Keeper question. 5x5 head to head. Keeping Strider and Carroll already. Keep Bo Bichette for free or Harper with an 8th?
Justin Mason
10:38
Bichette for free

I’ve you comment on podcasts that OF is deep.  It’s seems there is a large drop off after top tier guys.  I guess the depth is that there is lots of mediocrity to choose from.  I’m in a 14 teamer for context.
Justin Mason
10:40
Yeah, I don't think there is a particularly shallow position there, but there are massive drop off in each position between tiers. Outfield isn't worse in that regard either. However, there is definitely a massive difference between OF1-10 and OF11-20

I might be starting to come on board for this one.

How much is too much for Acuna? Avg yahoo auction price of $72. My personal limit is $80. Based on auction calculator, he seems to be worth it. Flip side is, you can get 2 bats ranked 10-20 for the same price
Justin Mason
10:41
I have a really hard time spending that amount on one player. Your season is pretty over if he goes down.

What is Alek Manoah in 2024?
a) solidly above average starter
b) overall average at best because sometimes he's great and sometimes he's going to randomly give up 8 runs on 6 walks and I'll never guess which starts to bench him for
c) mostly in the minors
Justin Mason
10:42
B
A good problem
10:42
So i've got Eury, Tarik, Bibee, and Bobby Miller at the same price. I can keep one as 11th rounder, one as 9th rounder, and one as a 7th rounder in a shallow points league that also counts QS.  Who would you keep and at which prices? Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:43
That is tough. I would keep Eury in the seventh, Tairk in the 9th and Miller in the 11th.
I am through all of my questions. Send some more

12 team first year 5x5 h2h dynasty. I went HAM on offense and scraped together a pitching staff. We only have 23 man active rosters (10 offensive Starters, 7 pitching, as well as 10 minor league slots for minor leaguers only). Is it insane to punt saves+holds to start the season while I stream my starters long enough to find some consistency? The plan is to find relieversater in the season. Am I overthinking this?
Justin Mason
10:44
I don't think you are over thinking this. I like this approach.
While I wait for questions, don't forget that you can still sign up for TGFBI satellites at TGFBI.com and podapalooza is this weekend streaming on my youtube and twitch!

Which do you worry about more in terms of not repeating last year's value - hot young guy who just had his breakout, or established star who's past his peak?
Justin Mason
10:45
For me it is always about their underlying numbers. I tend to believe in older guys because their numbers are larger samples and tend to be more steady, but I care more about what the numbers tell me
John
10:46
What positions do you think are best to reach for the upper elite guys?
Justin Mason
10:46
Third base and starting pitching

NFBC Draft Champions ... Tristan Beck worth a shot in Rd47?  Will he be in the SF rotation this year?  What's his outlook ?
Justin Mason
10:46
Seems like he is their fifth starter unless they sign someone late. I think in round 47 that is a decent gamble
Corey
10:47
Hey Justin! Follow up on keeping Bichette. I’m looking at the 12th pick in the first round after keepers. Will snag either Albies or Olson/Harper with the first of my two picks. With the other I’m looking at LouBob, Arozarena, Michael Harris, or Adolis Garcia. How would you rank them?
Justin Mason
10:47
Give me Harper all day here.
with Albies

Rather take a chance on Reese Olson or Keaton Winn this year only?
Justin Mason
10:47
Winn
A good problem

Do you think Yoshida is keepable in a points league that counts putouts and assists at 0.25 points each?  I would need him in the OF and sounds like he'll be dh'ing most of the time.
Justin Mason
10:47
Yeah, he is not going to play the field much so no
Donald

Our league is making adjustments to its categories, R, HR, RBIs, OPS, & NSB -- any advice based on this set-up?  Specific guys (late) to target?
Justin Mason
10:48
So when you have different categories, run your favorite projection system through a calculator and see who pops

You buying Gelof or Julien at 2b?

Julien at the discount.

Our league is making adjustments to its categories, QS, K, ERA, WHIP, NSVH -- any advice based on this set-up?  Specific guys to target late?

Do you own any stakes in Curtis Mead this year?
Justin Mason
10:49
Only in dynasty. I worry his defense keeps him down for a while.
