Chat will begin shortly. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, mastodon, threads, post, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!
10:03
Will start here in a couple of minutes. Just finished a pod with Paul.
10:05
Sorry about the late start. Let's talk some baseball!

when will we see Verlander or Buehler pitch?
Justin Mason
10:06
I think we see Verlander in about two weeks and Buehler towards the end of April.
Surrender Dorothy!

Justin, I love the podcast you do with Paul Sporer. Great content, great insight by two fun and entertaining people. My question is: can you please, please invest, I don't know, say, at least $20 on a semi-professional microphone, so it doesn't sound like you are talking through an old soup can tied to a piece of really long string? Please?
Justin Mason
10:07
Go get yourself a Blue Yeti. It is about $50-90 on Amazon. A decent mic goes a long way in podcasting.

Would you rather start Jung, Candelario, or Jose Abreu at CI this week?
Justin Mason
10:07
Candelario
Adenolith
10:07
Is the growing hype around Blaze Alexander justified? Like, dropping Candelario in a shallow league justified?
Justin Mason
10:07
I don't think you should drop Candy

Hi. Thanks for the chat. Start Maikel Garcia or Matt Chapman at the hot corner for the 1st week?
Justin Mason
10:07
Garcia

In a 12tm H2H K/BB QS league, do you like Chris Paddack or Reid Detmers this year? Thank you.
Justin Mason
10:08
I think I am leaning Paddack here. I just don't trust Detmers' control and command. Upside is great on Paddack.

I struck out at 3B in my 12 team OBP auction.  Looking at Bohm, Chapman, or Keith.  Need OBP and pop.
Justin Mason
10:10
Chapman is probably the right call, but I love the upside of Keith

Who does Adell need to get rid of to have regular playing time?
Justin Mason
10:10
His hitting coach

Sonny on the Waiver Wire
10:10
Sonny Gray is about to go on the IL; do I go for Gavin Stone, Tyler Wells, or Louis Varland? 5x5 cats
Justin Mason
10:11
I would lean Stone here because he could snake some easy wins on the Dodgers, but Wells and Varland are really tempting.

Dodgers Blue
10:11
Any hot names you are monitoring in expectation that their current club will likely release them due to 40-man constraints who could be a useful contributor with another organization?
Justin Mason
10:11
Not really. I think a lot of those moves have already happened.
Mark
10:11
Rather be your "regular" starter in a 14 team mixed league: Wily Adames or Maikel Garcia (SS eligible)?
Justin Mason
10:12
Probably Adames, but I love Garcia this year
Dodgers Blue
10:12
Is it going to take an injury before we see Luis Matos up?
Justin Mason
10:12
I think Matos is actually going to make the team unless I missed something.
Phoenix Severino
10:13
What do we make of Luis Severino's spring? He's sitting on the wire in two of my leagues but ownership is rising. Only players I'd drop for him are Stroman/C. Sanchez, but I feel like it's worth waiting...
Justin Mason
10:14
I would rather have Sanchez personally, but Severino has looked more like his former self so I would be interested in keeping him if I could.
I would drop Stroman for him

Who do you like better at 1B for OBP 12 team roto this year: France, LeMahieu, or E. Duran (assuming he gets eligibility)?
Justin Mason
10:14
France
Jordan

Big Mariners fan here. My dynasty league just had their annual draft and I think I screwed up. I took Jonny Farmelo. I've been getting picked on ever since by league mates for passing on Tommy Troy. How badly did I botch this?
Justin Mason
10:15
Troy is the better prospect but that late in a prospect draft, it is all really subjective.
Anon
10:16
Max Meyer worth a flier for 12 team roto or better left on the waiver?
Justin Mason
10:16
As a short term play, I don't mind it. The problem is unless he is amazing, he loses that job once Braxton Garret or Edward Cabrera are healthy.
Dave
10:16
Jared Jones!!! Jared Jones?  Grabbed him this morning in a 12-team mixed league, where are your expectations for him?
Justin Mason
10:17
I think he has a short leash, but I love the upside in his arm. I took him in the reserves of my auction last night and was thrilled!
Closer Conundrum
10:17
I'm hedging my bets that Abner Uribe and Griffin Jax are going to start as the fill in closers. This feels like the most likely outcome right?
Justin Mason
10:17
I think both situations could be committees and very fluid. I think Jax is the leading guy in Minnesota and Joel Payamps is the leading one in Milwaukee
