Do you think Matt Manning gets moved, or any back end Tigers guy for that matter? Seems to be a glut of similar talent at #4-5 and AAA.

Justin Mason

10:41

Definitely could. Especially if the Tigers are competing, but we said the same thing about the Marlins and all of a sudden all that depth is hurt, so it may be smarter for the Tigers to just hold for now.

If Langford and Carter start off slow, like borderline send them down slow, do the O's call up Holliday earlier w/the chance that he wins ROY?

Justin Mason

10:42

They could, but I think it is unlikely.

Picked up Gerrit Cole in the 15th round of a 10 team roto league (IP K ERA WHIP NSVH)? Savvy move, or overpay? I also stashed Rasmussen, Springs, and Ray on my IL post-draft.

Justin Mason

10:42

Depends on how many IL spots you have. I took Cole in the 15th round of my main and kind of regret it.

Justin we know you love a Varsho breakout. What about some other deep power/SB guys like Meadows, Raffaela, Neto. Btw I'm in an AL only thus the lean

Justin Mason

10:44

Cowser, Will benson, Meadows, Raffaela,

Henry Davis the starting C for the Bucs all year or are they really going with Grandal after his IL stint? Also, could the Bucs offense surprise a lot of people this year?

Justin Mason

10:45

I think Grandal is just insurance for the most part. I picked the Pirates to make the playoffs as a Wild Card so I love what they are doing.

16 team dynasty 20 spots and 30 minors 6x6. Would you move Rooker for Jake McCarthy and a 5th if you need steals? If not, any hot ww steals recommendations?

Justin Mason

10:47

Probably not because I don't think McCarthy makes the team. Maybe look at the wire at Johan Rojas, Brenton Doyle, Lawrence Butler, Luis Matos, Victor Robles

Hey Justin, thoughts on Jackson Jobe? When do we seen him this year? July, August? I’ve drafted him in all my draft and holds hoping he’s the pitcher I need to get me closer to the overall prize!

Justin Mason

10:48

I wouldn't expect him to be up before the summer. The Tigers just have too many arms

Rank chance for saves early? Rank saves over the year? Y. Garcia, D. Robertson, M. Koepech, T. Megil. Thanks!

Justin Mason

10:48

Kopech, Garcia, Robertson, Megill

Name 1 early-mid round pitcher and hitter you are out on that the rest of the industry seems to love.

Justin Mason

10:49

Riley Greene and Hunter Greene.

Can’t decide who to pick in a 5x5 roto league. It will likely be between Ohtani, Alvarez, Turner, Olson, Ramirez. All the other top outfielders are taken so due to scarcity at OF I’m leaning Alvarez (and I’m scared off by Ohtani suspension now), thoughts?

Justin Mason

10:49

Give me Turner

looking for a bench OF for Ottoneu - between Harold Ramirez, McCutchen, and Yastrzemski, who's likely to get the most playing time early? Aranda injury makes Ramirez interesting to me.

I think I have a hoarding problem. I have Cowser /T. Ward/ India/ Gurriel Jr/ Kwan all as bench bats. This seems excessive for a 12 teamer and I should probably drop half. How many bench bats is too many? Who would you drop?

Justin Mason

10:50

depends on how many reserve spots you have. I typically load up on pitching in the reserves because I am specing on potential closers or high upside arms.

Hi Justin, who closes for OAK this year? Also do you

Justin Mason

10:51

I do not close in Oakland this year

Dany Jimenez

10:51

Better for this season: Jared Jones or Paul Skenes? How about over the next three seasons?

Justin Mason

10:51

Jones for this year. Skenes long term

Joe

10:51

Who’s the lowest ranked starter you’d be comfortable with as your number 1?

Justin Mason

10:52

Depends on the depth and format of the league. I have waited for a while and then loaded up on guys like Eflin, Ober, and Ragans, but I am also higher on them than others.

Any Week 1-2 streaming SP suggestions?

Justin Mason

10:53

Hate tpo say it, but Brady Singer has a potential really nice two-step set up for week two at Baltimore and home vs the White Sox. I haven't done a ton of digging because I don't stream a ton of guys early on, but I will be doing the two-start pitcher article for Fantasy Pros again and will have that out this weekend.

Nestor Cortes (or similar pitchers who had a down year after a great one). In a 12-teamer, are you starting immediately or holding on the bench to see how they come out of the gate?

Justin Mason

10:54

Probably benching him vs Houston

Closet closer

10:54

hi Justin, who closes for OAK this year? Also, do you like Trevor Rogers or Manaea this year? Thanks again!

Justin Mason

10:54

Jimenez and Rogers

Oh snap, I just realized Jung slipped through the cracks in my 10 teamer (points). Ditch CES or Ke'Bryan off my bench for him?
