Are you avoiding any midwest games because of the blizzard forecast?  Do cold weather benefit pitchers or hitters or neither?
Justin Mason
10:18
Cold weather usually benefits pitchers, but I may avoid stacking those games if the weather looks bad. I will be following Kevin Roth on twitter as he is my go to weather guy.
Good Morning Walltimore!
10:18
Am I crazy for preferring Cole Ragans (and a salary that is 1% of my cap) over Kevin Gausman (and a salary that is 5% of my cap)?

Justin Mason

Crazy like a fox.
So no

Who are some sneaky under the radar 5th OF types you've been targeting in your drafts?
Justin Mason
10:20
Brendan Donovan, Willi Castro, Kerry Carpenter, Brandon Nimmo are my most rostered guys in that area. Varsho a little bit higher.
Wash Prospects

Thanks for any thoughts on who to pick between D Crews vs J Woods to make an impact this season
Justin Mason
10:20
I don't think either do tbh. If one does, it is Wood

Pickin up Mize, Jared, Stone in 12 team league?
Justin Mason
10:20
Jared Jones

In a points league that's keep forever with daily roster moves, would you rather have Michael Harris or Mike Trout? My team is loaded and probably the best team in the league now and for the next few years.
Justin Mason
10:20
Harris
help!
10:20
SV+HLD league, I have Swanson, Duran, Treinen and Kerkering all beginning the sason on the IL.  Which (if any) are droppable, and with whom should I replace them?
cool 2
Justin Mason
10:21
Treinen is droppable. I would look to grab Taylor Rogers or Colin Holderman if available.
Jim Leyland Palmer
10:22
Which of Alvarado, Lecleric & Suarez would you rate highest for Net Saves league?
Justin Mason
10:22
Suarez

Happy Monday! What are a handful of out-of-projection spring training results that we should totally believe (good or bad)?  How about  few that are fools gold (also good or bad)?
Justin Mason
10:22
I honestly don't care about spring numbers for the most part unless there is a real skill change or a job won/lost because of it.

My (shallow) H2H points draft went all sorts of bizzaro... Wound up stacked on pitching and betting on two of CES/EllyD/Ke'Bryan/Oneil Cruz to shake out my SS/3B situation. And that's not even touching on my gaping hole at 2B.

No questions, just funny how baseball gonna baseball. Even the fake version!
Justin Mason
10:23
That is why I love fantasy baseball. Weird things happen and you zig while others zag

Is Brandon Nimmo a top 60 bat in OBP leagues?
Justin Mason
10:23
Top 60 is probably high but close
Dodgers Blue
10:24
No question - just want to gripe about the Nationals rebuilding efforts that include the likes of Winker, Gallo and Rosario - all of whom will take time away from exciting players like Crews and Wood......

Yeah, I get that, but they don't want to start the clock on those guys while they still need other pieces. I think once the team is sold, you guys have a very exciting future. Those veterans they brought in might have trade value midseason to keep building the farm. 2025 will be here before you know it.

which potential bounceback SP are you more confident in:  Severino or Flaherty?
Justin Mason

Severino

What's your story?
10:26
Trevor Story had a nice spring and appears to be healthy for the first time in a while.  What do you expect out of him if he can maintain his health?
Justin Mason
10:27
This is why spring stats are not worth looking at. Story is hitting .364 but he has a .483 BABIP and a 19% swinging strike rate. I am glad he is healthy, but I think he will never be the player he once was.

The hol(e)y ones really going to run cronenworth 3rd in the lineup for the entire season?
Justin Mason

I can't imagine that lasts.

AL only Roto. Who you like -- Springer or Arozena this year only?
Justin Mason
10:28
Arozarena

Do you think Jared Jones can stick in the rotation all year?
Justin Mason
10:28
If he pitches well
Late to the Party

Hi Justin, how do you approach the pitchers, and maybe hitters who sign late?  I get concerned about injury and poor performance over long periods at the start for Snell, etc.   Do you know if there is solid evidence of this?
