I am not as of yet. I might but I decided to not be a part of the staff ranks this year and I put them on the sleeper and the bust patreon

Pick 2 from an embarrassment or riches: Royce, Langford, Elly, Caminero. No $$ or round coat, just straight up keepers, and i can’t do a consolidation trade because no one checks the league between September and April 🙄 Thank you!

Royce and Elly

Alek Thomas was fantastic with the bat in the minors (power, patience, contact, speed), but has been pretty putrid so far in the majors in a not tiny sample.  Do you think there's is still a breakout possible here?  Is this as simple as getting the ball off the ground more?
Justin Mason
10:59
I think there is some potential here and his amazing defense will give him the oppurtunity

Given the framing of the Cole imaging news and the tidbit that he's going to get 'multiple opinions', it seems chances are way better than even that he misses most of the season. Is that your reading?
Justin Mason
10:59
Unfortunately yes

Any concern with too many players from the same team? Is there a point where it becomes too much?
Justin Mason
11:00
I don't think there is a ton of risk with it necessarily, but I don't tend to do it.

What do you think Cleveland does in the outfield to start the year?  Does a guy like Laureano play most days?  Or is this going to be platoon city?
Justin Mason
11:01
It probably starts with Straw in center, Laureano and Kwan on the corners with Florial spelling them until he takes over for Straw.

What happened to Cronenworth and is it fixable?
Justin Mason
11:01
Hard to say, but even if he is fixed, the upside really isn't there.
Kate

How worried are you about Tanner Scott's spring training control issues?
Justin Mason
11:01
Very considering his history of control issues.
Kate
11:01
So is Rizzo like fixed?  I assumed the issue was basically the concussions, but wasn't positive that would actually be fixed since we've seen some guys careers just completely derailed by this.
Justin Mason
11:02
I think he is. Just needed to get past the concussion issues. He is a huge value.

Outside of the obvious injured "ace" guys - do you have a favorite DL stash starter or two that you are sneaking onto your rosters for the 2nd half?
Justin Mason
11:02
I don't really stash guys tbh

How do you think the Texas bullpen shakes out?  Leclerc was quite good down the stretch last year, but he can't ever seem to keep it together for an extended period of time.  Does Robertson eventually take this job?  Maybe even Sborz long term?  He under the hood stats were fantastic last year.
Justin Mason
11:02
I think Leclerc is the dude rn but I wouldn't be surprised with Robertson replaces him if he struggles.
